Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on aiding Children with Medical Complexity (CMC) as they transition to adult healthcare, addressing gaps in support and coordination that negatively impact their care.
- PITCare is a randomized controlled trial involving 154 CMC and their caregivers, assessing an intensive transition support program that connects patients with a multidisciplinary team for two years post-18.
- Outcomes will include successful care transition rates and patient satisfaction, with qualitative interviews to gather insights on the experience of various stakeholders, while ethics approval has been secured for the study.
This study focuses on the development of new amino-functionalized magnetic FeO/SiO nanocomposites with varying silicate shell ratios (1:0.5, 1:1, and 1:2) for the efficient elimination of Hg ions found in solutions. The FeO/SiO-NH adsorbents were characterized for their structural, surface, and magnetic properties using various techniques, including Fourier transform infrared spectrum (FT-IR), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Braunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), zeta-potential, and particle size measurement.

Following this concept, various synthetic solutions containing low concentrations of platinum group metals were used to model their recovery and to produce catalysts. This is also the first report that shows the method for synthesis of a pyramid-like structure deposited on activated carbon composed of Pd and Pt.

However, CCSR was developed for use in the United States and may not work well with other country-specific ICD-10 coding systems.
Method: We developed an algorithm for semi-automated matching of Canadian ICD-10 codes (ICD-10-CA) to CCSR categories using discharge diagnoses from adult admissions at 7 hospitals between Apr 1, 2010 and Dec 31, 2020, and manually validated the results.
