Are we ready for human papillomavirus testing? Assessment of patient knowledge of and preferences for cervical cancer screening in Ontario.

Objective: To determine patient knowledge and preferences about primary human papillomavirus (HPV) testing.

Design: Cross-sectional survey.

Setting: Two family practice clinics (urban and suburban) and the social media platforms of 2 hospitals in the greater Toronto area between January and February 2023.

Transitioning sleeping position detection in late pregnancy using computer vision from controlled to real-world settings: an observational study.

Sleeping on the back after 28 weeks of pregnancy has recently been associated with giving birth to a small-for-gestational-age infant and late stillbirth, but whether a causal relationship exists is currently unknown and difficult to study prospectively. This study was conducted to build a computer vision model that can automatically detect sleeping position in pregnancy under real-world conditions. Real-world overnight video recordings were collected from an ongoing, Canada-wide, prospective, four-night, home sleep apnea study and controlled-setting video recordings were used from a previous study.

"Check Your Vulva"-A Patient Education and Virtual Vulva Care Pilot Project.

Objective: The aim of the study is to identify whether vulvar self-examination learned from a web site could lead to a self-identification of vulvar lesions and the feasibility of virtual vulvar care with patient submitted photos.

Materials And Methods: The study used a prospective cohort design in a tertiary academic hospital over a 1-year period. Eligible participants who self-identified a vulvar lesion/skin changes were invited to send vulvar photos through a secure patient portal and schedule a phone consult to discuss diagnosis/management.

Common sleep disorders in pregnancy: a review.

In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of common sleep disorders during pregnancy, including their characterization, prevalence, risk factors, and possible contribution to maternal and fetal outcomes. We conducted a quasi-systematic literature search of the MEDLINE database and identified 744 studies from 1991 through 2021, inclusive, that met our inclusion criteria. We synthesized the existing literature on sleep disorders during pregnancy and highlighted controversies, research gaps, and needed clinical developments.

Sex Disparity in Liver Transplant and Access to Living Donation.

Importance: The Model for End-stage Liver Disease (MELD)-based organ allocation system has significantly decreased mortality on the transplant waiting list for patients with end-stage liver disease. However, women have remained at a disadvantage with respect to access to deceased donor liver transplant (DDLT) even after introduction of the MELD score for organ allocation.

Objective: To determine whether availability of living donation in a transplant program can offset inequity in liver transplant (LT) allocation for women.

Management of Toddler's Fractures: A Systematic Review.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine and compare the efficacy of external fixation strategies of toddler's fracture (TF) in acute care settings. Specifically, we aim to identify whether immobilization optimizes clinical outcomes for patients (based on immobilization duration, time to weight-bear/ambulate, and associated complications) compared with nonimmobilization, with a systematic review.

Study Design: After PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses) guidelines, 2 independent reviewers searched electronic databases OVID Medline, Embase, and CINAHL for studies evaluating the health outcomes of various treatment methods for TF (1937-2019).
