The education of medical students should be based on the best clinical information available, rather than commercial interests. Previous research looking at university-wide conflict interest (COI) policies used in Canadian schools has shown very poor regulation. An analysis COI was undertaken to document current policy environment all 17 schools.A web search initially locate supplemented by additional from deans each school.

Abstract Background and Objectives Despite screening procedures, a few blood donors confirm positive for transfusion‐transmissible infections are deferred. Effective notification of laboratory results is essential to ensure that advised confirmed seek medical care. Here we report from post‐notification interviews Canadian Blood Services donors. Materials Methods Over 17 years, 2006–2022, all with hepatitis B virus (HBV), C (HCV), human T‐cell lymphotropic (HTLV) syphilis were notified by...
Understanding the experiences and perceptions of new plasma donors is important for developing strategies to retain them. This qualitative study focuses on donors' with donation, factors that influence their interest in donating again thoughts about establishing a regular donation routine. We conducted 48 one-on-one semi-structured interviews used reflexive thematic analysis relational approach analyse these data. For this study, returning donate was facilitated by care, where were cared...
Governments and academic institutions have embraced the importance of commercializing research through late twentieth century. In this study, we seek to understand scientists' contemporary understanding role science in commercially oriented environment. We present findings based on 30 semi-structured interviews with biomedical researchers from different career stages at a medium-sized university Canada about patenting, presenting conferences, creating company, applying for funding,...

To address a national concern over the sufficiency of plasma, Canadian Blood Services (CBS) initiated proof-of-concept programme with three new source plasma collection centres, aiming to demonstrate cost-effective template for future and alleviate concerns risks associated dependence on United States. This study uses social capital as framework assess success centres.One-hundred one qualitative interviews donors in centres Canada were carried out.CBS played critical role motivating...
Abstract Interventional clinical studies of convalescent plasma to treat COVID-19 were predominantly funded and led by public sector actors, including blood services operators. We aimed analyze the processes understand alternatives pharmaceutical industry biopharmaceutical research development, particularly where actors play a dominant role. conducted qualitative, critical case study purposively sampled prominent impactful during 2020-2021.
In recent decades, academic science has increasingly been directed toward commercializable ends by neoliberal governments. this article, I outline a concern that scientists have not consulted about the transformation of science, but nevertheless, in some ways accept commercialization as way things are done. focus on which attempt to exercise agency, albeit within parameters knowledge economy. economy, scientific inquiry transformed be focused more producing marketable products. order explore...
The potential for bias in industry-developed information about noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT), addition to the lack of regulatory oversight this type product, raises questions clinical communication and adoption. We identify NIPTs marketed globally analyze their English-language consumer-oriented brochures determine whether they meet existing policy ethical guidance from Nuffield Council on Bioethics NIPT marketing, how establish legitimacy test given NIPT, content differs between...

COVID-19 has posed unprecedented challenges to health systems around the world, including blood collection agencies (BCAs). Many countries, such as Canada and Australia, that rely on non-remunerated voluntary donors saw an initial drop in early days of pandemic followed by a return sufficient levels supply. BCA messaging plays key role communicating needs operator, promoting encouraging donation, educating, connecting with public donors. This paper is interpretive discourse analysis...

Molecular diagnostics are expanding rapidly yet many have not been externally evaluated. <b>Kelly Holloway and colleagues</b> identify failings in the regulatory system report on recent efforts at reform
In the context of global COVID-19 pandemic, blood collection agencies (BCAs) around world are operating under unprecedented conditions. As social scientists in donor research Canada, Australia, and Netherlands, we provide some early observations on public responses to pandemic identify areas for moving forward: 1) how donors non-donors respond crisis appeal donation; 2) what extent first-time during will return; 3) donation might mitigate (or not) negative effects stay-at-home measures; 4)...
