Modern European Philosophy
This chapter reviews four books published in 2018 which are not readily categorized as works in ‘modern European philosophy’: Gurminder K. Bhambra, Kerem Nişancloğlu, and Dalia Gebrial’s edited volume Decolonising the University, Chantal Mouffe’s For a Left Populism, Cinzia Arruzza, Tithi Bhattacharya, and Nancy Fraser’s Feminism for the 99%, and Andreas Malm’s The Progress of this Storm. Yet their uneasy relationship to this philosophy is precis…
Disparities in Receipt of Bariatric Surgery in Canada: An Analysis of Data From an Ontario Bariatric Surgery Referral Center
BACKGROUND: Patients with lower socioeconomic status (SES) in the United States have reduced access to many health services including bariatric surgery. It is unclear whether disparities in bariatric surgery exist in countries with government-sponsored universal health benefits. The authors used data from a large regional Canadian bariatric surgery referral center to examine the relationship between SES and receipt of bariatric surgery. METHODS: …
Modern European Philosophy
This chapter reviews three of the most consequential works in modern European philosophy published in 2017: Étienne Balibar’s Citizen Subject, Nick Nesbitt’s edited volume The Concept in Crisis, and William Clare Roberts’s Marx’s Inferno. These works reflect the fact that 2017 witnessed an upsurge of philosophical publications on Marx and Marxism. On one level, this is because 2017 was simultaneously the 150-year anniversary of the publication of…
Women’s Mid-Life Night Sweats and 2-Year Bone Mineral Density Changes: A Prospective, Observational Population-Based Investigation from the Canadian Multicentre Osteoporosis Study (CaMos)
Women's hot flushes and night sweats, collectively called vasomotor symptoms (VMS), are maximal (79%) in late perimenopause. The evidence describing whether VMS are associated with loss of areal bone mineral density (BMD) is mixed. We examined baseline and 2-year data for 1570 randomly selected women aged 43−63 in the Canadian Multicentre Osteoporosis Study (CaM os ), a prospective Canada-wide study; we used linear regression to assess the relati…
Economic Evaluation of Community-Based HIV Prevention Programs in Ontario: Evidence of Effectiveness in Reducing HIV Infections and Health Care Costs
Investments in community-based HIV prevention programs in Ontario over the past two and a half decades are assumed to have had an impact on the HIV epidemic, but they have never been systematically evaluated. To help close this knowledge gap, we conducted a macro-level evaluation of investment in Ontario HIV prevention programs from the payer perspective. Our results showed that, from 1987 to 2011, province-wide community-based programs helped to…
The Impact of Maternal Depression During Pregnancy on Perinatal Outcomes: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
OBJECTIVE: Depression often remains undertreated during pregnancy and there is growing evidence that untoward perinatal outcomes can result. Our systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to determine whether maternal depression during pregnancy is associated with adverse perinatal and infant outcomes. DATA SOURCES: MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, and PsycINFO were searched from their start dates to June 2010. Keywords utilized included depressiv…
A reference set of health utilities for long-term survivors of prostate cancer: Population-based data from Ontario, Canada
The Rising Burden of Rheumatoid Arthritis Surpasses Rheumatology Supply in Ontario
Automated Delineation of Subgroups in Web Video: A Medical Activism Case Study
Web 2.0 tools in general, and Web video in particular, provide new ways for activists to express their viewpoints to a broad audience. In this paper we deployed tools that have been used to find subgroups automatically in social networks and applied them to the problem of distinguishing between two sides of a controversial issue based on patterns of online interaction. We explored the problem of distinguishing between anti- and pro-vaccination ac…
Marker states and a health state prompt provide modest improvements in the reliability and validity of the standard gamble and rating scale in prostate cancer patients
Utility-based Quality of Life Measures in Alzheimer’s Disease
Responsiveness of disease-specific and generic utility instruments in prostate cancer patients
Short-term daily or weekly administration of micronutrient SprinklesTM has high compliance and does not cause iron overload in Chinese schoolchildren: A cluster-randomised trial
The high consumption rates and appropriate SF concentrations in the supplemented groups suggest that a short-term school programme with Sprinkles is an efficient and safe way to provide micronutrients (including iron)
Medieval trabecular bone architecture: The influence of age, sex, and lifestyle
Osteoporosis has become a growing health concern in developed countries and an extensive area of research in skeletal biology. Despite numerous paleopathological studies of bone mass, few studies have measured bone quality in past populations. In order to examine age‐ and sex‐related changes in one aspect of bone quality in the past, a study was made of trabecular bone architecture in a British medieval skeletal sample. X‐ray images of 5‐mm‐thick…
Patient and Community Preferences for Outcomes in Prostate Cancer: Implications for Clinical Policy
BACKGROUND: Preferences, or utilities, for health outcomes are central in prostate cancer decision-making. Utilities can be elicited directly from patients using standard techniques, or indirectly, using questionnaires that incorporate preference weights from community members. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate directly elicited and indirectly elicited (questionnaire-derived, community-weighted) utilities for prostate cancer outcomes and the effects of sex…
Effect of parity on bone mineral density in female rhesus macaques from Cayo Santiago
This cross‐sectional study investigates the relationship between parity, bone mineral density, and spontaneous osteopenia/osteoporosis in a large skeletal population of female rhesus macaques ( Macaca mulatta ) from the free‐ranging colony of Cayo Santiago, Puerto Rico. The sample consists of 119 mature female monkeys aged 4.0–22.2 years at time of death. The data consist of measurements of bone mineral content (BMC) and bone mineral density (BMD…
Bone mineral density, osteopenia, and osteoporosis in the rhesus macaques of Cayo Santiago
This cross-sectional study investigates metabolic bone disease and the relationship between age and bone mineral density (BMD) in males and females of a large, well-documented skeletal population of free-ranging rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta), from the Caribbean Primate Research Center Museum collection from Cayo Santiago, Puerto Rico. The sample consists of 254 individuals aged 1.0-20+ years. The data consist of measurements of bone mineral con…
