Objectives The response to glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogues for weight loss varies significantly. We investigated the anthropometric, demographic and clinical characteristics associated with total body (TBWL) from subcutaneous GLP-1 analogue therapy in patients obesity a real-world setting. Design Retrospective cohort analysis. Setting An urban, multidisciplinary community clinic Vancouver, Canada, November 2018 April 2021. Participants 483 adults mass index (BMI) of ≧30 kg/m 2 who...
Due to difficulties in identifying important within-species biodiversity for effective species management and conservation, the use of multiple complementary sources information is required identify assess designation conservation units based on degree variation among populations within a species. In this study, we combined estimates microsatellite transcriptomic population structure potential adaptive threatened Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar, rivers Bay Fundy. general, identified by genetic...
Abstract The Salmoniform whole‐genome duplication is hypothesized to have facilitated the evolution of anadromy, but little known about contribution paralogs from this event physiological performance traits required for such as salinity tolerance. Here, we determined when two candidate, salinity‐responsive Na + , K ATP ase α subunit (α1a and α1b) evolved studied their evolutionary trajectories tissue‐specific expression patterns. We found that these arose during a small‐scale prior...
The effect of a multi-faceted handoff strategy in high volume internal medicine inpatient setting on process and patient outcomes has not been clearly established. We set out to determine if intervention consisting education, standardized procedures, including fixed time location for face-to-face would result improved rates compared with usual practice. also evaluated resident satisfaction, health resource utilization clinical outcomes.
Studies of separate exercise and weight loss interventions have reported improvements in quality life (QoL) or reduction atrial fibrillation (AF) burden. We investigated the impact a structured exercise, nutrition, risk-factor-modification program on QoL AF burden.In this trial, 81 successive patients with body mass index > 27 kg/m2 nonpermanent were randomized to an intervention (n = 41) control group 40). The consisted cardiovascular risk management 6-month nutrition program, followed by...
Hypertension affects 1 in 5 Canadians and is the leading cause of morbidity mortality globally. control declining due to multiple factors including lack access primary care. Consequently, patients with hypertension frequently visit emergency department (ED) high blood pressure (BP). Telehealth for Emergency-Community Continuity Care Connectivity via Home-Telemonitoring Blood Pressure a pilot project that implements evaluates comprehensive home telemonitoring (HBPT) physician case management...
Background Physicians are often called to evaluate patients overnight with varying levels of clinical deterioration. Early warning scores predict critical deterioration in patients; however, it is unknown whether they able reliably which will need be seen and these require further resource use. Methods A prospective case cohort study 522 patient nights a single tertiary care hospital Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, was conducted assess the ability Modified Warning Score (MEWS) National...
Aim: Digital health for hypertension management holds potential improving the quality of care but requires long-term patient engagement to track data. We explored and specialist perceptions clinical utility data tracking including standardized patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), home blood pressure (BP) measurement, other metrics. Methods: Participants reviewed general status, satisfaction, hypertension-specific PROMs. Semi-structured focus groups (n = 15) with nine patients six...
ABSTRACT Background Handover of patients between care providers is a critical event in patient care. There is, however, little evidence to guide the handover process, including determining which handover. Aim Compare ability gestalt-based with two structured scores, modified early warning score (MEWS) and our novel iHAND clinical decision support system, predict will be assessed by physician overnight. Methods This case–control study included 90 inpatients, comprising 32 overnight (cases) 58...
Objectives: Elevated blood pressure (BP) in the emergency department (ED) is common, but clinical uncertainty exists on how best to manage asymptomatic hypertension. Telehealth for Emergency-Community Continuity of Care Connectivity via Home Blood Pressure Telemonitoring (TEC4Home BP) evaluates home telemonitoring (HBPTM) can support patients with elevated BP their health at after visiting ED. The aim this study assess effect HBPTM control among those discharged from ED severely BP. We also...
<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> Hypertension affects one in five Canadians and is the leading cause of morbidity mortality globally. The control hypertension declining for first time 10 years due to multiple factors including a lack access primary care. Consequently, patients with frequently need visit emergency department (ED) high blood pressure (BP). Telehealth Emergency-Community Continuity Care Connectivity via Home-Telemonitoring Blood Pressure (TEC4Home-BP) pilot project that...
Objectives: Hypertension and hypotension are associated with adverse outcomes in hemodialysis patients. However, routine blood pressure measurement the unit has poor correlation interdialytic clinical outcomes. Poor technique practice may contribute to this correlation. We aim assess nurses’ knowledge of proper technique. Methods: All nurses were asked anonymously answer 12 multiple-choice questions on technique, based Canada guidelines. Frequency incorrect responses used gauge gaps...
Objectives: The association of intradialytic blood pressure with interdialytic and clinic outcomes is inconsistent. Poor technique routine measurement in the hemodialysis unit may contribute to this inconsistency. We aim assess adherence current standards unit. Methods: assessed a convenience sample 79 patient visits for five measurements standards, per Hypertension Canada guidelines. frequency errors was by descriptive statistics. Results: In only 6% had no across we assessed. most common...
