Abstract:

This study investigated the incidence of failure after locking compression plate (LCP) osteosynthesis around a well-fixed stem of periprosthetic femoral fractures (PFFs). We retrospectively evaluated outcomes of 63 Vancouver type B1 and C PFFs treated with LCP between May 2001 and February 2018. The mean follow-up duration was 47 months. Only patients with fracture fixation with a locking plate without supplemental allograft struts were included. We identified six periprosthetic fractures of proximal Vancouver B1 fractures with spiral pattern (Group A). Vancouver B1 fractures around the stem t

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Cryptococcus neoformans is a human fungal pathogen that exists as three distinct varieties or sibling species: the predominantly opportunistic pathogens C. neoformans var. neoformans (serotype D) and C. neoformans var. grubii (serotype A) and the primary pathogen C. neoformans var. gattii (serotypes B and C). While serotypes A and D are cosmopolitan, serotypes B and C are typically restricted to tropical regions. However, serotype B isolates of C. neoformans var. gattii have recently caused an outbreak on Vancouver Island in Canada, highlighting the threat of this fungus and its capac

Abstract:

In North America, why and how municipalities in large metropolitan areas cooperate is a pressing question. Both in Canada and the United States, the literature has been greatly influenced by the public choice views that rational actors have very limited rational or economic incentives to cooperate unless the state steps in to rule cooperation. But beyond the ideological debate, these views are about issues of regional cooperation public choice (polycentrism); (3) metropolitan governance (new regionalism); and (4) rescaling and re-territorialization, which are tightly linked to value systems wh

Abstract:

Background In British Columbia (BC), Canada, clinicians are responsible for giving involuntary psychiatric patients rights information upon admission. Yet an investigation by the BC Office of the Ombudsperson found that clinicians are not always fulfilling this responsibility. The Ombudsperson recommended that the provincial government fund an independent body to give rights advice to patients. Methods To understand how clinicians feel about this recommendation, focus groups of clinicians who may give psychiatric patients rights information (n = 81) were conducted in Vancouver, BC, to probe th

Background: Total hip (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are becoming an increasingly standard procedure in the whole world. In conjunction with an aging population and increased prevalence of osteoporosis, proper management of periprosthetic, and interprosthetic fractures is of great interest to orthopedic surgeons. This study aims to report the clinical and radiographic outcomes, complications and reoperations of IFFs in geriatric patients. Methods: A retrospective single-institution case series study was conducted. Between 2011 and 2019, 83 patients underwent surgical treatment for per

Abstract:

Abstract Rapid urban expansion, increased traffic, ageing infrastructure, greater climatic variability, and the need for enhanced sustainability of urban water resources pose significant challenges to conventional stormwater management. Innovative approaches are needed in order to mitigate the risk of flooding, pollution, and aquatic ecosystem degradation, and enhance beneficial uses of urban waters. To examine such approaches, a series of three regional conferences on innovative stormwater management were held in Vancouver, Calgary, and Toronto during 2007 to 2008 under the sponsorship of the

Abstract:

Introduction: In 2008 British Columbia created a nurse (RN) staffed telephone triage service, (TTS) to provide timely advice to non-911 callers (811). A perception exists that some callers are inappropriately directed to emergency departments (EDs) thereby worsening crowding. We sought to determine whether supplementary emergency physician (EP) triage would decrease ED visits while preserving caller safety and satisfaction. Methods: TTS RNs use computer algorithms and judgment to triage callers. Potentially sick callers are directed to “seek care now” (red calls). Often this is to an ED depend

Abstract Background CMV is the most common cause of congenital infection and may result in permanent neurodevelopmental injury including vision and hearing loss. A vaccine to prevent transmission of CMV during pregnancy or to immunocompromised persons is a public health priority. Neutralizing antibodies (nAb) to the CMV envelope glycoprotein B (gB) in natural infection are thought to confer protection, but some vaccine candidates based on this protein alone have been insufficiently immunogenic.

Abstract Background Patients with severe hereditary anemias (e.g. β-Thalassemia Major) are transfusion-dependent for survival. Current guidelines suggest monitoring serum ferritin every three months and annual MRI to assess hepatic and cardiac iron load1. However, MRI, particularly the R2 sequence (FerriScan) which has high specificity and sensitivity in estimating the liver iron concentration, is expensive and not always readily available. Transient elastography (FibroScan) measures liver's stiffness and predicts fibrosis. Previous studies have suggested its utility in other conditions that i

Abstract Introduction Amniotic tissues are used to support wound healing in a variety of fields and wound types including chronic stasis ulcers, lower extremity wounds in diabetic patients, poorly healing injuries associated with burns, and surgical wounds associated with intestinal fistulas. To date, the use of amniotic fluid (AF) alone has not been described in the literature. The properties of AF alone would suggest the potential for regenerative and accelerated healing. This descriptive, retrospective review evaluates the effects of AF injected into chronic, poorly healing burn wounds. Met

In the proposed novel AHU, the heating coil is completely removed, and therefore, no heating coil energy demand is needed. The novel AHU used primary energy recovery as well as secondary one to utilize the return air energy and exergy. Through the first energy recovery unit, the return air exergy was recovered, while in the secondary heat exchanger, return air energy was recycled. Results showed that using the novel AHU leads to a reduction in energy consumption as well as the exergy los

Thematic analysis identified three overarching categories: (a) reasons older adults use alcohol, including out of habit, social expectations, or to self-medicate; (b) personal experiences of alcohol use, including reduced consumption over time as a result of the cost of alcohol, the physical effects, and increased knowledge about t
