Objective: Lung cancer screening (LCS) utilization remains low. We aimed at assessing LCS patient-reported barriers and preferred interventions to improve uptake.
Methods: Between July and November 2023, an electronic 60-item survey was completed by consented patients aged 50 to 80 years who were due to receive LCS, and their eligibility for LCS was confirmed.
Background: This study systematically reviewed interventions mitigating financial hardship in patients with cancer and assessed effectiveness using a meta-analytic method.
Methods: PubMed, Cochrane, Scopus, CINAHL, and Web of Science were searched for articles published in English during January 2000-April 2023. Two independent reviewers selected prospective clinical trials with an intervention targeting and an outcome measuring financial hardship.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore how different initial antibiotic treatments affect the outcomes of hospitalized children with severe orbital infections.
- It analyzed data from 2009 to 2018 from 10 Canadian hospitals, focusing on patients aged 2 months to 18 years who were hospitalized for more than 24 hours.
- Findings revealed that while broad-spectrum antibiotics led to longer hospital stays, they did not impact the likelihood of requiring surgical intervention, indicating a need for more effective antibiotic treatment studies.

Objectives: No previous study has examined the management of hospitalized children with orbital cellulitis at both children's and community hospitals across multiple sites in Canada. We describe variation and trends over time in diagnostic testing and imaging, adjunctive agents, empiric antibiotics, and surgical intervention in children hospitalized with orbital cellulitis.
Patients And Methods: Multicenter cohort study of 1579 children aged 2 months to 18 years with orbital cellulitis infections admitted to 10 hospitals from 2009 to 2018.
