Transgender (trans) and non-binary people experience barriers to culturally competent healthcare many have reported avoiding care. COVID-19 related mitigation strategies may exacerbated avoidance, poor mental health be bidirectionally This study estimated the prevalence of primary care avoidance during pandemic in a national sample trans Canada with provider examined association between poorer self-rated avoidance. In Fall 2019, Trans PULSE collected multi-mode survey data from people....
Impaired insulin and incretin secretion underlie abnormal glucose tolerance (AGT) in pancreatic insufficient cystic fibrosis (PI-CF). Whether the hormones glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) can enhance islet function (CF) is not known. We studied 32 adults with PI-CF AGT randomized to receive either GLP-1 (n = 16) or GIP during glucose-potentiated arginine (GPA) testing of on two occasions, placebo infused, a randomized, double-blind,...
Implantation of a vagus nerve stimulator (VNS) can be an effective treatment for medically refractory seizures. Laryngeal side effects from VNS include hoarseness, cough, and shortness breath. This report highlights 5-year-old female who presented with stridor in the setting acquired laryngomalacia, global developmental delay, device. The case demonstrates that exacerbate symptoms laryngomalacia close monitoring laryngeal is crucial to optimizing care this population. Laryngoscope,...
Individuals with pancreatic insufficient cystic fibrosis (PI-CF) and glucose intolerance demonstrate impaired incretin insulin secretion. The goal of this study was to assess β-cell responsiveness the hormones glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) during potentiated arginine (GPA) testing in adults PI-CF abnormal tolerance. Participants were randomized receive either GLP-1 (n=15) or GIP then underwent GPA placebo infusion a randomized, cross-over...
Introduction: Alcohol intake contributes to the pathogenesis of alcohol-related liver disease in part through propagation reactive oxygen species. Eight-isoprostane, a stable by-product lipid-peroxides, is measure vivo oxidative stress. Several markers stress are elevated people with HIV (PWH) who consume alcohol compared their HIV-negative counterparts also drink. However, link between amount consumption and remains largely unknown this population. Methods: Between 2017-2019, Studying...
