Sperm collection in the domestic cat: A comparison of two techniques.

Semen collection in cats in the clinic setting can be difficult. However, semen analysis is vital when evaluating breeding soundness of a male. Electroejaculation (EEJ) is currently the most reliable semen collection method but requires specialized equipment and training of the operator.

Translation and cultural adaptation of evidence-informed leaflets on the work-health interface: a pragmatic approach to cultural adaptation.

Aim: Our aim was to translate and culturally adapt three evidence-informed leaflets on the work-health interface from English into Norwegian. Integral to this aim was the exploration of the quality and acceptability of each of the adapted leaflets to Norwegian-speaking stakeholders; general practitioners, people who deal with health issues in the workplace, and the general population.

Background: Common health problems, such as musculoskeletal pain, account for most workdays lost and disability benefits in Norway.

Making Living-donor Liver Transplantation a Viable Option for Patients With Portopulmonary Hypertension.

Liver transplantation (LT) in patients with significant portopulmonary hypertension (PoPH) is associated with an increased risk of several complications, including graft failure. Graft loss is one of the major reasons. Living donor LT (LDLT) is not routinely performed in the United States in this patient population.

Emergency and non-emergency routes to cancer diagnoses in 2020 and 2021: A Population-based study of 154,863 patients.

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted normal pathways to cancer diagnosis, particularly for screening and non-acute symptomatic patients. While reductions in overall cancer diagnoses have been reported elsewhere, any differential effects on emergency presentations, which are associated with poorer outcomes, have not been described.

Material And Methods: Cross-sectional descriptive study from 2015 to 2021, based on International Cancer Benchmarking Partnership methods, where emergency route to diagnosis is defined as presenting as an emergency admission in the 30 days prior to cancer incidence date.

Facilitators and barriers of technology adoption and social connectedness among rural older adults: a qualitative study.

Background: Social disconnection is a public health concern among rural Australian older adults. While research suggests technology can enhance social wellbeing and protect against social disconnection, many older adults are not digitally literate, and little is known as to why and how technology adoption could be promoted in rural contexts. This study aimed to (1) explore the barriers and facilitators of technology adoption among rural older adults and (2) determine the potential utility of technology to promote social connectedness in the aged population.
