Objective: Social and economic marginalizations have been associated with inferior health outcomes in Canada. Our objective was to describe the relationship between neighbourhood marginalization and COVID-19 outcomes among patients presenting to Canadian emergency departments (ED).
Methods: We conducted an observational study among consecutive COVID-19 patients recruited from 47 hospitals participating in the Canadian COVID-19 ED Rapid Response Network (CCEDRRN) between March 3, 2020, and July 24, 2022.
Article Synopsis
- Clinical guidelines for medications treating gambling disorder are unclear, prompting a network meta-analysis to compare their efficacy and tolerability.
- The study reviewed 22 randomized controlled trials, ultimately analyzing 16 with nearly 1,000 participants, focusing on gambling symptom severity and quality of life as efficacy outcomes.
- Nalmefene showed the most promise in reducing gambling severity and improving quality of life, although it and naltrexone had higher dropout rates due to side effects, indicating lower tolerability compared to placebo.
Osteoid Osteoma (OO) is a common primary bone tumor that often presents with night pain in younger orthopedic patients. Although typically extra-articular, intra-articular presentations may be difficult to diagnose. While magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides excellent detailed imaging of the articular surface, it has been reported to lead to occasional misdiagnosis given limitations in spatial resolution, particularly for smaller lesions.
