Background: This study characterized the risk of new-onset asthma among workers in Manitoba, Canada.
Methods: Accepted time loss claims from the Workers' Compensation Board of Manitoba from 2006 to 2019, containing workers' occupations and industries, were linked with administrative health data from 1996 to 2020. After restricting the cohort to the first claim per person in an occupation and applying age and coverage exclusions, the cohort comprised 142,588 person-occupation combinations.
Article Synopsis
- Therapy evasion and disease progression in oncology are significantly impacted by cancer cell dormancy, which can hinder treatments like chemotherapy and lead to relapses long after initial success.
- The paper presents a mathematical model that simulates how individual cancer cells can switch between active and dormant states, examining the effects of various drug treatments on these dynamics.
- Results indicate that even a small number of dormant cells can cause traditional single-drug therapies to fail, and the study offers insights on effective multi-drug treatment strategies tailored to different dormancy mechanisms.
We consider a stochastic individual-based model of adaptive dynamics on a finite trait graph . The evolution is driven by a linear birth rate, a density dependent logistic death rate and the possibility of mutations along the directed edges in E. We study the limit of small mutation rates for a simultaneously diverging population size.

Error management training (EMT) has been shown to improve adaptive expertise with procedural skills; however, its application to cognitive skills in medical education is unclear.
Objective: To evaluate whether EMT improves adaptive expertise when learning the cognitive skill of head computed tomography (CT) interpretation.

Objective: The objectives of the study were to assess emergency medicine (EM) physician perceptions of the EM job market 2 years after "The Emergency Medicine Physician Workforce: Projections for 2030" was published in and to examine how the workforce report may have influenced perceptions about job prospects.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 2022 of EM residents, fellows, and attendings at 21 practice sites. Main outcomes were perceptions of the likelihood of currently finding any job, currently finding a desirable job, and confidence in the future EM job market.
