Background: Depression that occurs in pregnancy or postpartum (perinatal depression) impacts 1 in 5 mothers, yet access to effective and high-quality preventative interventions remains elusive for most. Digital interventions are a promising solution to this treatment gap because of the ubiquity of mobile devices and internet access. The Mothers and Babies Online Course (eMB) is an online adaptation of Mothers and Babies, an evidence-based preventative program for postpartum depression.

Craniomaxillofac Trauma Reconstr
December 2024
Article Synopsis
- This study examined the long-term outcomes of patients with zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) fractures, comparing those who received conservative versus surgical treatment from 2007 to 2018.
- A total of 180 patients were evaluated, with 92.8% overall satisfaction reported, but significant differences were found between patient and surgeon perceptions regarding functional issues.
- The findings suggest that CT scans predicting cheek asymmetry do not always match visible outcomes, highlighting the need for better communication and alignment between surgeons and patients on treatment expectations.
Does More Invasive Surgery Result in Higher Patient Satisfaction? A Long-Term Follow-Up of 136 Zygomaticomaxillary Complex Fractures.
Craniomaxillofac Trauma Reconstr
October 2024
Article Synopsis
- The study reviewed long-term satisfaction in patients with zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) fractures treated surgically, focusing on factors like internal fixation and orbital floor reconstruction.
- Despite variations in treatment methods, overall patient satisfaction was high (97.8%), with the main concern being loss of sensation (hypoesthesia).
- The use of fewer fixation points was linked to malar asymmetry, but antibiotics did not reduce post-operative infection rates, supporting less invasive surgical approaches.
Background: HPV test-based primary cervical screening is replacing cytology in Canada. In other countries, women's unpreparedness and concerns hindered the transition and post-implementation screening uptake. We investigated psychosocial correlates of intentions of screening in eligible individuals to participate in HPV-based primary cervical screening.

- The COVID-19 pandemic prompted researchers to adopt remote observational methods for studying parent-child interactions, particularly in socioeconomically and racially diverse families.
- This study focused on remote assessments of 133 low-income parent-child dyads during a longitudinal study on postpartum depression interventions, adapting procedures for observing parenting and child behavior while ensuring reliability.
- Findings indicated high participation satisfaction, with most families enjoying the remote assessments, and parents expressing a preference for virtual visits, highlighting the viability of remote research in diverse populations.
