- The study presents a new arthrometer designed to quantitatively assess knee ligament injuries by measuring load-displacement characteristics, addressing limitations of traditional subjective examinations.
- Testing involved 20 young, healthy participants, with results showing excellent reliability and minimal discomfort during the two tests conducted on each knee.
- The arthrometer demonstrated significant precision with minimum detectable changes indicating it is a reliable tool for clinical research on knee injuries.
Gender-responsive monitoring and evaluation (M&E) for health and health systems interventions and programs is vital to improve health, health systems, and gender equality outcomes. It can be used to identify and address gender disparities in program participation, outcomes and benefits, as well as ensure that programs are designed and implemented in a way that is inclusive and accessible for all. While gender-responsive M&E is most effective when interventions and programs intentionally integrate a gender lens, it is relevant for all health systems programs and interventions.

- The study investigated the effects of low doses of filtered kretek cigarette smoke on the respiratory system and p53 gene expression in Sprague-Dawley rats.
- One group of rats was left unexposed to smoke while the other was exposed to one filtered kretek cigarette per day for three months.
- Results showed that the exposed group had smaller bronchioles and increased p53 gene expression, indicating potential respiratory system damage and changes in cellular responses due to smoke exposure.
Objective: Digital substance use treatment programs present an opportunity to provide nonresidential care for people with problematic substance use. In June 2021, the provincial government in Ontario provided free access to Breaking Free Online (BFO), a digital behavioral change program for people with substance use disorders.
Methods: An observational study was conducted with retrospective data to characterize clients' use and engagement patterns in BFO and examine changes in self-reported outcomes.
Supermarkets are scarce in many under-resourced urban communities, and small independently owned retail stores often carry few fresh or healthy items. The Baltimore Urban food Distribution (BUD) mobile application (app) was previously developed to address supply-side challenges in moving healthy foods from local suppliers to retailers. In-app opportunities for consumers to indicate demand for these foods are crucial, but remain absent.
