Image directed redesign of bladder cancer treatment pathways: the BladderPath RCT.

Background: Transurethral resection of bladder tumour has been the mainstay of bladder cancer staging for > 60 years. Staging inaccuracies are commonplace, leading to delayed treatment of muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging offers rapid, accurate and non-invasive staging of muscle-invasive bladder cancer, potentially reducing delays to radical treatment.

Phase variable colony variants are conserved across spp. and exhibit different virulence-associated phenotypes.

The genus, comprising at least 13 species, is associated with the polymicrobial disorder bacterial vaginosis (BV). However, the details of BV pathogenesis are poorly defined, and the contributions made by individual species, including spp., are largely unknown.

ACNM's Commentary on the Midwifery Workforce in the US.

The American College of Nurse-Midwives (ACNM) represents certified nurse-midwives (CNMs) and certified midwives (CMs) who are graduate-prepared advanced practice providers. They attend educational programs accredited by the American Commission for Midwifery Education (ACME) and are certified by the American Midwifery Certification Board (AMCB). Their scope of practice as defined by ACNM includes primary care, reproductive services beginning with menarche through menopause, gender-affirming services, contraception, abortion, prenatal, birth, postpartum, and care of the newborn.

Antibody Response to the Sneathia vaginalis Cytopathogenic Toxin A during Pregnancy.

Sneathia vaginalis is a Gram-negative vaginal species that is associated with pregnancy complications. It produces cytopathogenic toxin A (CptA), a pore-forming toxin. To determine whether CptA is expressed in vivo and to examine the mucosal Ab response to the toxin, we examined human midvaginal swab samples obtained during pregnancy for IgM, IgA, and IgG Abs with CptA affinity.

The implementation of non-weight focused approaches in clinical practice: A Canadian cross-sectional study among registered dietitians.

Background: An increasing number of dietitians use non-diet approaches, referred to as non-weight focused practice approaches (NWFAs), in clinical practice when working with higher weight adult clients. However, the factors that impact dietitians' ability to successfully implement these approaches in practice are unknown.

Methods: Aiming to examine how implementing NWFAs in clinical practice differs based on the extent to which a dietitian uses NWFAs with their clients, we conducted a cross-sectional online survey among Canadian registered dietitians who work with higher weight adults (May to July 2021), developed and validated following the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research.
