Dietary intakes of trans fatty acids before the prohibition of partially hydrogenated oils in Canada.

Purpose: Canada's public health objective is that ≥ 90% of the population consume <1% of total energy (< 1%En) as trans fatty acids (TFA), in line with World Health Organization recommendations. Our study aimed to estimate usual intakes of total TFA, industrially-produced TFA (i-TFA), and naturally occurring TFA (n-TFA) overall and in subgroups of the population before Canada's 2018 prohibition on the use of partially hydrogenated oils (PHO) in foods.

Methods: Data from 1-2 24-h recalls was available for 19,670 participants in the cross-sectional Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS)-Nutrition 2015.

Exposure to maternal experiences of IPV in early childhood and sleep health in adolescence.

Background: Half of US women will experience intimate partner violence (IPV), and nearly all children in families experiencing such violence will be exposed. The negative effects of IPV exposure on children's mental and physical health are well-documented; however, less is known about effects on children's sleep health, a key marker of well-being.

Objective: This study examines the associations of early childhood exposure to maternal experiences of IPV with sleep health in adolescence, focusing on multiple dimensions of sleep health and differences by child sex.

Use of artificial intelligence to identify patients to be assessed in a breast clinic on 2-week wait: a retrospective cohort study.

Background: The number of urgent referrals from primary care to specialist one stop breast clinics continues to rise beyond the capacity of the 2-week wait service. This study aims to use artificial intelligence (AI) to identify patients with new breast symptoms requiring a biopsy to identify those who should be prioritised for urgent breast clinic assessment.

Methods: Data were collected retrospectively for patients attending one stop triple assessment breast clinic at Broomfield hospital between 1 June and 1 October 2021.

Prediction of negative axillary node clearance by sentinel node-positive to total node ratio: a retrospective cohort study.

Introduction: Increasing evidence suggests that de-escalation of axillary surgery is safe, without significantly impacting patient outcome. Obtaining positive lymph nodes at a sentinel lymph node biopsy (SNB) can guide decisions toward the requirement of axillary nodal clearance (ANC). However, methods to predict how many further nodes will be positive are not available.

Racial Slurs by Police and Posttraumatic Stress Symptoms: Intrusive Policing and Perceived Injustice.

Using the Future of Families and Child Wellbeing Study (N = 785), this article considers the ramifications of police use of racial slurs, a type of intrusive behavior, toward minority youth for posttraumatic stress (PTS). We also examine whether other intrusive police behaviors exacerbate this relationship and test whether perceptions of injustice mediate it. Results indicated that hearing a police officer use a racial slur was positively associated with PTS after controlling for intrusive police behaviors and other covariates.
