Objectives Although many secondary effects of high levels vanadium (V) and chromium (Cr) overlap with symptoms seen in paediatric patients chronic kidney disease (CKD), their plasma V Cr are understudied. Design Ancillary cross-sectional study to a prospective, longitudinal, randomised controlled trial. Setting Children’s Hospital Western Ontario, London Health Sciences Centre, London, Canada. Participants 36 children adolescents 4–18 years age CKD. Interventions 1–6 trace element...
Forest insect outbreaks cause significant reductions in the forest canopy through defoliation and tree mortality that modify storage flow of water, altering catchment runoff stream discharge patterns. Despite a growing understanding impacts on hydrology broadleaf forests, little is known about these to northern conifer-dominated forests. We measured effects cumulative by spruce budworm (Choristoneura fumiferana) 12 experimental catchments (6.33–9.85 km2) across central Gaspé Peninsula...
Introduction Injection drug use (IDU) and intravenous (IVDU) are of concern to the people using drugs, their families health systems. One complications IDU/IVDU is risk infection. Clinical experience has shown that persons who inject drugs (PWID) hospitalised re-hospitalised frequently. In Canada there sparse data about reasons for which PWID admitted hospital trajectories, especially infectious diseases. There special concerns regarding with infections leave against medical advice those a...
Abstract Primary Subject area Community Paediatrics Background Use of pasteurized donor human milk (PDHM) has been recommended as an alternative to formula for preterm or low birth weight infants when mom’s own breast (MOM) is unavailable. Studies show that compared PDHM, formula-fed neonates had better growth rates but were at increased risk necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and feeding intolerance. Notably, most these studies conducted in tertiary-level NICUs. The Canadian Paediatric Society...
