Partnered health research in Canada: a cross-sectional survey of perceptions among researchers and knowledge users involved in funded projects between 2011 and 2019.

Background: Engaging knowledge users in health research is accelerating in Canada. Our objective was to examine perceptions of partnered health research among individuals involved in funded Canadian partnered health research projects between 2011 and 2019.

Methods: We invited 2155 recipients of 1153 funded projects to answer a questionnaire probing project characteristics and perceptions of partnered health research.

Advancing (-)-Premarineosin A as a Potent Antimalarial Therapeutic via Metabolic Engineering and Late-Stage Derivatization.

Despite modern preventative and curative efforts, malaria has remained a major global health crisis. In 2023 alone, malaria was responsible for an estimated 263 million cases and 597,000 deaths. To complicate this issue, the causative parasites are becoming more resistant to available therapeutics, making it difficult to treat and prevent disease progression.

Ancient origin of an urban underground mosquito.

Understanding how life is adapting to urban environments represents an important challenge in evolutionary biology. Here we investigate a widely cited example of urban adaptation, form , also known as the London Underground Mosquito. Population genomic analysis of ~350 contemporary and historical samples counter the popular hypothesis that originated belowground in London less than 200 years ago.

The effects of orthography, phonology, semantics, and working memory on the reading comprehension of children with and without reading dyslexia.

In this study, we examined to what extent orthographic skills, phonological processing, oral vocabulary, and word memory accounted for variance in reading comprehension among upper-elementary school children with and without dyslexia. The tasks came from the Tests of Dyslexia (TOD). Data from 753 participants (typically developing n = 575; children with dyslexia n = 143) ages 8 to 11 were analyzed with t-tests and multiple regression models.
