Background: Communities have an important role to play in disaster and emergency planning and response. Yet community members are not typically engaged in official planning activities, including plans for mass immunization clinics during infectious disease emergencies, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. This qualitative study explores one case of a community driven effort to implement a COVID-19 mass vaccination clinic in Cobourg, Ontario, Canada.

Increased awareness of these conditions and advances in genetic testing have led to a rise in demand for specialist ICC services. The Centre for Inherited Cardiovascular Diseases at Great Ormond Street Hospital in London, England, is a tertiary centre for the diagnosis and management of ICCs in children and young people.

These materials can mimic stiffer tissues such as cartilage, fibrotic tissue and cancer microenvironments, and thus have exciting applications in regenerative medicine, wound healing and cancer research. Self-assembled peptides (SAPs) functionalised with aromatic groups such as Fluorenyl-9-methoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) show promise as components of these biomaterials.

- - The Northern Territory (NT) of Australia has the highest alcohol consumption and injury rates, leading to a study on alcohol-related injury (ARI) hospitalisations from 2007 to 2022 to assess the relationship between alcohol and injuries, and the impact of alcohol policies.
- - Findings revealed that 22.6% of all injury hospitalisations were linked to alcohol, with assaults being the primary cause (46%), and a significant decline in ARI hospitalisations was noted in Central Australia after implementing alcohol policies in 2017-2018.
- - The study emphasizes the effectiveness of these alcohol policies in reducing ARI hospitalisations in Central Australia, suggesting the need for sustained efforts to combat alcohol-related harm.
Objectives: Migrating foreign bodies is common in cats and dogs and can be challenging to retrieve. The aim of this study is to describe a minimally invasive ultrasound-guided technique for the removal of migrating foreign bodies.
Materials And Methods: Cases were retrospectively recruited from a single referral hospital.
