We show here that maintenance of Leishmania infections with mexicana complex parasites (Leishmania amazonensis and pifanoi) is impaired in the absence circulating antibody. In these studies, we used mice genetically altered to contain no antibody, without functional B cells. This experimental design allowed us rule out a critical role for cell antigen presentation pathogenesis. addition, lacking common gamma chain Fc receptors (FcgammaRI, FcepsilonRI, FcgammaRIII) are similarly refractory...
Delivery of foreign antigens to mucosal surfaces, such as the pulmonary airways, has been shown preferentially induce Th2-mediated responses in humans and mice. What is not clear from these studies whether this preferential skewing result limited types antigen being administered / or a bias towards using particular genetic strains mice, lung environment itself provides favored site for priming Th2-type cells. We have addressed issue an mouse strain combination that, under typical conditions...
Background After a prostate cancer diagnosis, men want information about their disease and treatment options. The internet offers convenient means to deliver health patients with cancer. However, there are concerns the use of among this largely senior population. Objective This study aimed determine patterns factors associated as source Canadian features required in website. Methods Population surveys were conducted four provinces (British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario) 2014-2015....
The Prevention of Adult Caries Study, an NIDCR-funded multicenter, double-blind, randomized clinical trial, enrolled 983 adults (aged 18-80 yrs) at high risk for developing caries (20 or more intact teeth and 2 lesions screening) to test the efficacy a chlorhexidine diacetate 10% weight per volume (w/v) dental coating (CHX). We excluded participants whom study treatment was contraindicated whose health might affect outcomes ability complete study. Participants were randomly assigned receive...
Exposure to surgery during medical school is limited. We ran a mentorship scheme pairing students at with local surgeons improve undergraduate insight. evaluated the effectiveness of in increasing surgical exposure and drivers for seeking mentorship.
Objective: To present a tool that allows estimation of the budget impact treatments for acute mania in bipolar I disorder from US healthcare payer perspective.Methods: Using discrete event simulation, course individuals is simulated beginning with hospitalization. Discharge depends on symptom level measured by Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS). The treatment effect determined using time-dependent regression equations derived trial data, and decision rules obtained clinical experts. Outcomes...
Among the challenges in health research is translating interventions from controlled experimental settings to clinical and community where chronic disease managed daily. Pragmatic trials offer a method for testing real-world but are seldom used OA research. The aim of this study was evaluate literature on pragmatic up August 2016 order identify strengths weaknesses design reporting these trials. We established guidelines assess degree which 61 studies complied with trial reporting. assessed...
The objectives of this study were to identify contextual factors as barriers or facilitators osteoarthritis management in urban- and rural-dwelling seniors by applying the World Health Organization's International Classification Functioning, Disability (ICF).Secondary analysis was performed on interview transcripts from (n = 11) 9) living with Canada. Meaningful concepts linked ICF codes (Environmental Factors) according established linking rules. Unclassified content (including Personal...
Three cats with suspected Fournier's gangrene had an acute onset of clinical signs and bloodwork changes consistent sepsis. All cases similar progression wounds that were managed without aggressive surgical debridement, which is the currently accepted treatment choice. survived have maintained excellent long-term quality life.Fournier's a potentially fatal disease, few reported in veterinary literature. This retrospective case series describes only known reports survival from cats, none...
<title>Abstract</title> Background Exposure to surgery during medical school is limited (1, 2). We ran a mentorship scheme pairing students at with local surgeons improve undergraduate insight. evaluated the effectiveness of in increasing surgical exposure and drivers for seeking mentorship. Methods 35 across 7 specialties were recruited matched 37 years 2–4 months. Quantitative qualitative evaluation was done pre-, mid- post-scheme questionnaires. Students rated confidence pursuing career...
