Hierarchical materials from fused silk
Silk is an extraordinary natural material whose unique chemistry and hierarchical organization enable performance beyond that of many synthetic counterparts. However, its poor processability arising from the molecular folding patterns of fibroin makes fabricating shapes other than fibres conceptually challenging. Here we report a simple and rapid thermomechanical process to fuse silk fibres into solid materials of arbitrary shapes. This approach …
Validity of dried blood spot testing for sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections
Testing for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) using dried blood spot (DBS) specimens has been an integral part of bio-behavioural surveillance in Canada for almost two decades, though less is known regarding the use of DBS in surveillance of other sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections (STBBI). A systematic review was conducted using a peer-reviewed search strategy to assess the current evidence regarding the…
Seroprevalence of Sars-CoV-2 antibodies among children receiving primary care in Toronto, Ontario
Migration and health study
The study highlights the complex interplay of factors that influence the sexual health of migrants, and the need for targeted sexual health awareness campaigns and provision of sexual health information in languages spoken by migrants. Public health interventions focused on improving the sexual health outcomes for migrants should consider the socio-ecological elements identified in this study. These findings can inform public health campaigns to …
Implementing community-based Dried Blood Spot (DBS) testing for HIV and hepatitis C
Peer-based DBS sampling can be an effective and relatively simple way to screen GBT2Q at Pride Festivals for more than one sexually transmitted and blood borne infection
Study of the epidemiology of Covid-19 in Ontario elementary and secondary school education workers
Multiplexed technologies for sexually transmitted infections
Introduction Conventional care packages around screening for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) entail multiple clinic visits and precipitate losses to follow-up. To prevent these losses, multiplexed technologies for STIs (immunochromatographic tests/devices/assays and molecular assays that can screen multiple pathogens or multiple strains of one STI) can yield same-day results in a single visit. Research evidence of patient-centred (preferen…
The fourth coast, revisited
The author traveled for 2.5 months by canoe and other modes of transport down the entire length of the Mississippi River with the Mississippi. An Anthropocene River project. Reflecting on this journey, this essay revisits Catherine Brown and William Morrish's 1991 essay, The Fourth Coast: An Expedition on the Mississippi River, in which Brown and Morrish document their research efforts to identify coherent anthropogenic structures and systems tha…
Dual-Mating Hypothesis
A systematic review of HIV testing among Canadian populations
Validity, reliability, and responsiveness of the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire in anemic heart failure patients
This study provides empirical evidence that the psychometric properties of the KCCQ are similar in patients with or without anemia, a potentially confounding clinical condition in patients with heart failure
The Edmonton LRT
In this paper, it is suggested that three major factors have contributed to the City of Edmonton's decision to extend its light rail transit (LRT) system: the Province of Alberta's use of specific non-matching grants and specific close-ended matching transportation grants, population growth projections made in 1981, and the lack of formal cost-benefit analysis. A review of the City of Edmonton's analysis of the costs and benefits of LRT, along wi…
Effects of Word-of-Mouth and Product-Attribute Information on Persuasion
The effects of word-of-mouth (WOM) communications and specific attribute information on product evaluations were investigated. A face-to-face WOM communication was more persuasive than a printed format (experiment 1). Although a strong WOM effect was found, this effect was reduced or eliminated when a prior impression of the target brand was available from memory or when extremely negative attribute information was presented (experiment 2). The r…
