Pancreatic Cyst Size Measurement on Magnetic Resonance Imaging Compared to Pathology.

Background: While multiple cyst features are evaluated for stratifying pancreatic intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN), cyst size is an important factor that can influence treatment strategies. When magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used to evaluate IPMNs, no universally accepted sequence provides optimal size measurements. T2-weighted coronal/axial have been suggested as primary measurement sequences; however, it remains unknown how well these and maximum all-sequence diameter measurements correlate with pathology size.

Barriers Associated With Missed Palliative Care Telehealth Visits.

: The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of telehealth in palliative care. While this technology showed efficiencies in healthcare delivery, it also unmasked inequalities affecting the socially disadvantaged. : To identify factors associated with missed telehealth visits.

Air quality in Canadian port cities after regulation of low-sulphur marine fuel in the North American Emissions Control Area.

Large marine vessels have historically used high-sulphur (S) residual fuel oil (RFO), with substantial airborne releases of sulphur dioxide (SO₂) and fine particulate matter (PM) enriched in vanadium (V), nickel (Ni) and other air pollutants. To address marine shipping air pollution, Canada and the United States have jointly implemented a North American Emissions Control Area (NA ECA) within which ships are regulated to use lower-sulphur marine fuel or equivalent SO scrubbers (i.e.

Community-led HIV self-testing for men who have sex with men in Lebanon: lessons learned and impact of COVID-19.

Background: In Lebanon, HIV is concentrated in both native and refugee communities of men who have sex with men (MSM). For over 10 years, the National AIDS Program (NAP) has offered HIV voluntary counselling and testing through a partnership with nongovernmental organizations (NGOs). In 2018, implementation of HIV self-tests (HIVST) was introduced, and this self-care intervention has been further scaled up during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.
