Distinct journeys and unique stories: how individuals from multiple professions cultivate careers in healthcare leadership.

Introduction: Strong hospital leadership is critical to navigating the challenges of the Canadian healthcare system. Currently, physicians and nurses tend to be selected to fulfil hospital executive roles. To date, we found only limited research exploring who else or should be in these roles, or how more diverse groups of professionals navigate the journey into these roles.

Experiences of trans patients in primary care settings: findings from The OutLook Study.

Background: Relationships between primary care providers (PCP) and trans patients remain important, necessitating discussions about gender identity, health and their intersections.

Methods: Using an online survey, we explored socio-demographic and psycho-social factors associated with: (1) disclosing gender identity; (2) discussing gender identity-related health issues; and (3) comfort sharing gender identity with PCPs, among trans people (n =112) over 16years of age, sampled in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. Bivariate and multivariate methods using modified Poisson regression generated effect estimates.

The relationship between white matter fiber damage and gray matter perfusion in large-scale functionally defined networks in multiple sclerosis.

Background: Recent studies utilizing perfusion as a surrogate of cortical integrity show promise for overall cognition, but the association between white matter (WM) damage and gray matter (GM) integrity in specific functional networks is not previously studied.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between WM fiber integrity and GM node perfusion within six functional networks of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) and secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS) patients.

Methods: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and neurocognitive testing were performed on 19 healthy controls (HC), 39 RRMS, and 45 SPMS patients.
