Genome-wide cross-trait analysis to compare genetic architecture between Parkinson’s disease and kidney-related traits

Abstract Epidemiological studies link kidney function to Parkinson’s disease risk, but the genetic basis of this relationship remains unclear. Here, we leverage genome-wide association data for Parkinson’s disease and five UK Biobank-derived kidney-related traits in individuals o...

Might cannabis Legalization Have Affected Public Health-Relevant Alcohol- and Tobacco-use Outcomes in Canada?

Canada legalized the non-medical use and supply of cannabis in 2018. The public health-relevant outcomes of cannabis legalization documented to date have been mixed, with decreases in cannabis-related crime and illegal distribution markets, while with increases for many – acute a...

Indigenous navigators’ interprofessional collaboration in a community-based homelessness care team: challenges and opportunities

Indigenous health navigation promotes access to healthcare for Indigenous people. This descriptive single case study focuses on an Indigenous navigation program within a Montreal non-Indigenous community-based organization offering outreach healthcare in the streets for people ex...

Promotion of long-term health in early life

Noncommunicable chronic diseases (NCDs) are on the rise in high-income countries, leading to substantial morbidity and mortality and contributing to increased resource demands and healthcare costs. Early-life exposures can initiate trajectories that culminate in NCDs later in lif...

A systematic interactome of Saccharomyces cerevisiae SET1C expands its functional landscape and identifies candidate regulatory connections

Set1 is the catalytic subunit of SET1C or COMPASS, which methylates histone H3K4 and serves as a scaffold for the association of seven tightly bound polypeptides. We have employed yeast two-hybrid screenings to determine the interactome of Set1 and each subunit, providing a uniqu...

Analysis of mixed radiation fields at the MoEDAL experiment based on real-time data from a Timepix detector network

Abstract The primary objective of this work is the determination of fluences and characteristics of fast neutrons, other hadrons, and highly ionizing particles (HIPs) in the environment of the MoEDAL experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. These particles may constitute an exper...

Indigenous Unruly Bodies: Managed Alcohol Programs, Cultural Adaptation, Care, and Control

Background In settler-colonial contexts such as Canada, Indigenous Peoples have long been subject to spatial and social control, from confinement on reserves to overrepresentation in carceral and institutional systems. Today, while over 60% of Indigenous Peoples live in urban are...

Genetic and behavioural repertoires support olfactory communication in wild capuchin monkeys

Olfaction is a key sense for many mammals, but its role in the social lives of anthropoid primates (monkeys, apes, humans) is poorly understood. Studies of chemosensory receptor genes and olfactory behaviours can provide insight into the evolution and function of olfaction across...

A grounded theory study of return-to-contact following concussion in Canadian adolescent girls rugby

Drawing on qualitative interviews with adolescent girl rugby players, coaches, and healthcare professionals, this study explored the psychosocial processes through which return-to-contact following concussion is negotiated in Canadian adolescent girls rugby. Data collection and a...

Pediatric Epiglottopexy: A Scoping Review of Indications, Techniques, Outcomes, and Complications

ABSTRACT Objective To map and synthesize the evidence on epiglottopexy in pediatric patients with laryngomalacia, epiglottic prolapse, and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with attention to indications, techniques, outcomes, complications, and evidence gaps. Data Sources PubMed/MEDL...

Sex & Gender Science: integrating the social with the biological

Abstract For decades, researchers have largely studied aspects of sex and gender separately; the former as a basic science and the latter as a social construct with real world consequences, including health inequities. In recent years, as our collective understanding of how the b...

Cefepime and Mortality

Importance Cefepime is recommended for the treatment of febrile neutropenia and gram-negative infections at moderate risk of ampicillin resistance locus C β-lactamase production. Concerns regarding cefepime’s safety have been raised in the literature without firm conclusions. Obj...

An updated estimate of the proportion of neurocysticercosis among people with epileptic seizures: a systematic review and Bayesian meta-analysis

BACKGROUND: Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is an infection of the central nervous system caused by the larval stage of Taenia solium. This systematic review (PROSPERO identifier: CRD42021266596) aimed to estimate the pooled proportion of NCC among people with epileptic seizures (PWES)...

Diagnostic yield of repeat CT pulmonary angiography after a negative examination in the emergency department

PURPOSE: Although repeat CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) after a negative index examination in the emergency department (ED) is common, its diagnostic utility remains uncertain. This study aimed to determine the incidence and diagnostic yield of repeat CTPA after a negative index...

Understanding the Use of Community Advisory Boards in Autism Research: A Scoping Review

Abstract Community engagement is increasingly promoted as a good practice in autism research, yet little is known about how Community Advisory Boards are used. This scoping review mapped the extent and nature of empirical literature on Community Advisory Boards in autism research...

Assessing the implementation of the disease surveillance and response strategy in Togo

The surveillance of infectious diseases has gained importance with the rise of (re)emerging pathogens and growing antimicrobial resistance. In many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), surveillance systems remain insufficiently structured to support timely detection and resp...

Perceived pleasantness mediates the effects of high-arousal and emotionally complex music on pain

ABSTRACT: Music effectively reduces pain, yet the mechanisms underlying music-induced hypoalgesia remain poorly understood. We investigated how latent perceptual dimensions of music influence pain by examining both stimulus properties and subjective evaluations of those propertie...

A protocol for biodiversity-informed wildlife disease surveillance

Land use and climate change are increasing the risk of spillover of zoonotic disease into human populations. However, we lack actionable information about the prevalence of pathogens in wildlife populations for most of the globe, challenging our ability to implement strategies to...
