Impact of financial incentives introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic on nursing staff: a mixed-method protocol.

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a major impact on nursing staff, resulting in alarming turnover rates. As part of the Quebec (Canada) government's response to the pandemic, nurses have been offered exceptional financial incentives. Considering the cost of these measures, the current article presents the research protocol of a study aiming to explore the impact of financial incentives on full-time equivalent, and retention rates among the nursing staff in two healthcare settings in Quebec.

Implementing DPYD*2A Genotyping in Clinical Practice: The Quebec, Canada, Experience.

Background: Fluoropyrimidines are used in chemotherapy combinations for multiple cancers. Deficient dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase activity can lead to severe life-threatening toxicities. DPYD*2A polymorphism is one of the most studied variants.

Contraceptive vaginal ring-induced cholestasis in a patient with a history of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy.

Introduction: Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) is a heterogeneous group of liver disorders with a high recurrence rate. Patients with a history of ICP are at risk of developing contraceptive-induced cholestasis, especially if they harbour a biliary transporter mutation. We report the first case of drug-induced cholestasis associated with a contraceptive vaginal ring (CVR) in a patient with a prior history of ICP.

[Evaluation of thromboprophylaxis in patients hospitalized in a tertiary care center: an applicable model of clinical practice evaluation. Revision of 320 cases].

Objectives: To analyze in-hospital thromboprophylaxis in patients at risk for venous thromboembolism. To evaluate compliance with heparin-induced thrombocytopenia screening recommendations in these patients.

Patient And Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study of 395 patients hospitalized in our tertiary care center at risk for venous thromboembolism.

Cell sorting in three dimensions: topology, fluctuations, and fluidlike instabilities.

Previous 2D and 3D models concluded that cell sorting requires cytoskeletal fluctuations and is stalled by high tension at heterotypic interfaces. New deterministic and stochastic models show that this is not true in 3D. Sorting in 3D involves both topological untangling and domain coalescence.
