MoEDAL Search in the CMS Beam Pipe for Magnetic Monopoles Produced via the Schwinger Effect.

We report on a search for magnetic monopoles (MMs) produced in ultraperipheral Pb-Pb collisions during Run 1 of the LHC. The beam pipe surrounding the interaction region of the CMS experiment was exposed to 184.07  μb^{-1} of Pb-Pb collisions at 2.

Deprescribing benzodiazepine receptor agonists in older adults: a mixed-methods study to adapt the Canadian D-PRESCRIBE intervention to the Belgian community setting.

Objective: Guidelines recommend deprescribing benzodiazepine receptor agonists (BZRA) in older adults, yet implementation in clinical practice remains limited. Adapting effective, evidence-based interventions to a new context is a resource-saving strategy. In Canada, the D-PRESCRIBE intervention comprised a patient educational brochure and a pharmaceutical opinion inviting physicians to revise BZRA prescribing and consider safer alternatives.

An effective field theory treatment of the production and annihilation of magnetic monopoles and their relic abundance.

We revisit the thermal production and annihilation of magnetic monopoles and their relic abundance in order to gain a deeper physical interpretation on the monopole phenomenology predicted from the Baines et al.'s effective field theory, recently proposed in the description of monopole pair production via Drell-Yan and photon fusion processes. In this sense, we use of the vacuum cross sections for the Drell-Yan reactions derived within the mentioned framework to evaluate the cross section averaged over the thermal distribution associated to other particles that constitute the hot medium where the monopoles propagate.

Search for magnetic monopoles produced via the Schwinger mechanism.

Electrically charged particles can be created by the decay of strong enough electric fields, a phenomenon known as the Schwinger mechanism. By electromagnetic duality, a sufficiently strong magnetic field would similarly produce magnetic monopoles, if they exist. Magnetic monopoles are hypothetical fundamental particles that are predicted by several theories beyond the standard model but have never been experimentally detected.

Racial Disparities in Acute Coronary Syndrome Management Within a Universal Healthcare Context: Insights From the AMI-OPTIMA Trial.

Background: Although prior studies have demonstrated racial disparities regarding acute coronary syndrome (ACS) care within private or mixed healthcare systems, few researchers have explored such disparities within universal healthcare systems. We aimed to evaluate the quality and outcomes of in-hospital ACS management for White patients vs patients of colour, within a universal healthcare context.

Methods: We performed a post hoc analysis of the cute yocardial nfarction - Knowledge Translation to ize dherence to Evidence-Based Therapy study, a cluster-randomized trial evaluating a knowledge-translation intervention at 24 hospitals in Quebec, Canada (years: 2009 and 2012).

First Search for Dyons with the Full MoEDAL Trapping Detector in 13 TeV pp Collisions.

The MoEDAL trapping detector consists of approximately 800 kg of aluminum volumes. It was exposed during run 2 of the LHC program to 6.46  fb^{-1} of 13 TeV proton-proton collisions at the LHCb interaction point.

Effect of e-Cigarettes Plus Counseling vs Counseling Alone on Smoking Cessation: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Importance: Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) for smoking cessation remain controversial.

Objective: To evaluate e-cigarettes with individual counseling for smoking cessation.

Design, Setting, And Participants: A randomized clinical trial enrolled adults motivated to quit smoking from November 2016 to September 2019 at 17 Canadian sites (801 individuals screened; 274 ineligible and 151 declined).

Magnetic Monopole Search with the Full MoEDAL Trapping Detector in 13 TeV pp Collisions Interpreted in Photon-Fusion and Drell-Yan Production.

MoEDAL is designed to identify new physics in the form of stable or pseudostable highly ionizing particles produced in high-energy Large Hadron Collider (LHC) collisions. Here we update our previous search for magnetic monopoles in Run 2 using the full trapping detector with almost four times more material and almost twice more integrated luminosity. For the first time at the LHC, the data were interpreted in terms of photon-fusion monopole direct production in addition to the Drell-Yan-like mechanism.

Ten-Year Statin Adherence in Survivors of ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction.

Background          Adherence to statins is often sub-optimal and declines over time. Direct costs incurred by patients are frequently cited as responsible for inadequate statin adherence. To determine whether survivors of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), who benefit from low or no cost drug dispensation, have optimal long-term adherence to statins, we aimed to evaluate the ten-year adherence to statin of these patients.

Impact of an invasive strategy in the elderly hospitalized with acute coronary syndrome with emphasis on the nonagenarians.

Background: Published data about nonagenarians with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) were mainly descriptive and limited by small sample sizes and unadjusted outcomes. We aim to describe the characteristics, management, and the impact of an invasive strategy on major adverse events in elderly patients hospitalized with ACS with focus on the nonagerians.

Methods And Results: We analyzed data collected as part of the AMI-OPTIMA study, a cluster-randomized study of knowledge translation intervention versus usual care on optimal discharge medications in patients admitted with ACS at 24 Canadian hospitals.

Recurrent Cardiovascular Events in Survivors of Myocardial Infarction With ST-Segment Elevation (from the AMI-QUEBEC Study).

The characteristics and predictors of long-term recurrent ischemic cardiovascular events (RICEs) after myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation (STEMI) have not yet been clarified. We aimed to characterize the 10-year incidence, types, and predictors of RICE. We obtained 10-year follow-up of STEMI survivors at 17 Quebec hospitals in Canada (the AMI-QUEBEC Study) in 2003.

Search for Magnetic Monopoles with the MoEDAL Forward Trapping Detector in 13 TeV Proton-Proton Collisions at the LHC.

MoEDAL is designed to identify new physics in the form of long-lived highly ionizing particles produced in high-energy LHC collisions. Its arrays of plastic nuclear-track detectors and aluminium trapping volumes provide two independent passive detection techniques. We present here the results of a first search for magnetic monopole production in 13 TeV proton-proton collisions using the trapping technique, extending a previous publication with 8 TeV data during LHC Run 1.

Sustained Performance of a "Physicianless" System of Automated Prehospital STEMI Diagnosis and Catheterization Laboratory Activation.

Background: Treatment times for primary percutaneous coronary intervention frequently exceed the recommended maximum delay. Automated "physicianless" systems of prehospital cardiac catheterization laboratory (CCL) activation show promise, but have been met with resistance over concerns regarding the potential for false positive and inappropriate activations (IAs).

Methods: From 2010 to 2015, first responders performed electrocardiograms (ECGs) in the field for all patients with a complaint of chest pain or dyspnea.

N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide in acute Kawasaki disease correlates with coronary artery involvement.

Background: We have lately documented the importance of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide in aiding the diagnosis of Kawasaki disease.

Objectives: We sought to investigate the potential value of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide pertaining to the prediction of coronary artery dilatation (Z-score>2.5) and/or of resistance to intravenous immunoglobulin therapy.

Gender and other disparities in referral to specialized heart failure clinics following emergency department visits.

Background: Persons with heart failure (HF) at high risk for adverse events should be followed by specialized HF clinics, since follow-up by specialized HF clinics improves outcomes for HF patients. The objective was to determine whether there were disparities for gender and other factors associated with referral of patients to specialized HF clinics.

Methods: In this prospective cohort study, patients with a confirmed primary diagnosis of HF were recruited by nurses at 8 hospital emergency departments (ED) in Québec, Canada.

Access to heart failure care post emergency department visit: do we meet established benchmarks and does it matter?

Background: The Canadian Cardiology Society recommends that patients should be seen within 2 weeks after an emergency department (ED) visit for heart failure (HF). We sought to investigate whether patients who had an ED visit for HF subsequently consult a physician within the current established benchmark, to explore factors related to physician consultation, and to examine whether delay in consultation is associated with adverse events (AEs) (death, hospitalization, or repeat ED visit).

Methods: Patients were recruited by nurses at 8 hospital EDs in Québec, Canada, and interviewed by telephone within 6 weeks of discharge and subsequently at 3 and 6 months.

Performance of a new "physician-less" automated system of prehospital ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction diagnosis and catheterization laboratory activation.

The door-to-balloon times frequently exceed the recommended delay. We therefore evaluated the performance of a novel "physician-less" cardiac catheterization laboratory (CCL) activation system relying on the automated electrocardiographic diagnosis alone. From January 2010 to 2012, first responders performed electrocardiograms in the field for all patients with a complaint of chest pain or dyspnea.

Rate dependent QS pattern in an acute Kawasaki disease.

Kawasaki disease (KD) is associated with pancarditis and complicated by coronary artery (CA) inflammation. In the present case, we were confronted with a very ill KD patient with first degree atrioventricular block and QS pattern on the electrocardiogram. This unusual pattern was transient and intermittent.

Primary care practices and determinants of optimal anticoagulation management in a collaborative care model.

Background: In a collaborative care model (CCM) for managing oral anticoagulant therapy, patients are followed at a pharmacist-managed anticoagulation service and, once stabilized, are transferred to their primary care physician. The objective of this study was to describe physicians' clinical practices and the practice characteristics associated with better international normalized ratio (INR) control in a CCM.

Methods: A telephone questionnaire about their practices was administered to 121 physicians exposed to a CCM.

Natriuretic peptide as an adjunctive diagnostic test in the acute phase of Kawasaki disease.

Coronary arteritis rather than myocardial involvement is typically emphasized in Kawasaki disease (KD). Moreover, the criteria and the usual biological markers oversee the importance of cardiac-specific markers in diagnosing this disease. We sought to study the clinical usefulness of measuring B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and its N-terminal moiety (NT-proBNP) at the onset of KD.

Is long-term pharmacist-managed anticoagulation service efficient? A pragmatic randomized controlled trial.

Background: Some pharmacist-managed anticoagulation services (PMAS) provide initial follow-up to patients on oral anticoagulant, who are transferred to their physician once they are stabilized. This may be as effective as and less expensive than long-term PMAS follow-up.

Methods: Once PMAS patients were stabilized and ready for discharge, they were randomized to be transferred to their physician or stay with the PMAS.

Comparative efficacy and safety of pravastatin, nicotinic acid and the two combined in patients with hypercholesterolemia.

In a comparative study, 158 patients with type IIa or IIb primary hypercholesterolemia received either placebo, nicotinic acid extended-release capsules (0.5 to 1.0 g twice daily), pravastatin (40 mg at bedtime), or the combination for a short-term, 8-week period.
