Background: Due to social-structural marginalization, sex workers experience health inequities including a high prevalence of sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections, mental health disorders, trauma, and substance use, alongside a multitude of barriers to HIV and substance use services. Given limited evidence on sex workers' broader primary healthcare access, we aimed to examine social-structural factors associated with primary care use among sex workers over 7 years.
Methods: Data were derived from An Evaluation of Sex Workers Health Access (AESHA), a community-based open prospective cohort of women (cis and trans) sex workers in Metro Vancouver, from 2014 to 2021.
Antimicrobial resistance is a global threat to public health. Without proactive intervention, common infections may become untreatable, restricting the types of clinical intervention that can be undertaken and reversing improvements in mortality rates. Effective antimicrobial stewardship represents one approach to restrict the spread of antimicrobial resistance but relies on rapid and accurate diagnostics that minimise the unnecessary use of antibiotics.

Background: We investigated the relationship between neighbourhood income quintile and mental health service use by immigration experience among youth and explored changes during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Method: We used administrative data to examine mental health service use among youth aged 10 to 24 in British Columbia, Canada, between April 1, 2019, and March 31, 2022. We compared rates of community-based mental health service use, emergency department visits, and hospitalizations and the proportion of involuntary admissions by neighbourhood income quintile and immigration.
Article Synopsis
- - Duodenal-type follicular lymphoma is a rare variant of follicular lymphoma that generally has a good prognosis and can be asymptomatic or present with vague gastrointestinal symptoms.
- - Diagnosis often happens incidentally during an endoscopic procedure (EGD) when biopsies of duodenal polyps are taken.
- - A unique case of biopsy-confirmed duodenal-type B cell follicular lymphoma was treated with localized radiotherapy, resulting in complete remission after six months; physicians need to be aware of this rare condition and the possibility of systemic B-cell lymphoma involvement.
Article Synopsis
- A study investigates whether marine herbivores are better off as generalists or specialists when faced with rapid environmental changes like ocean warming and acidification.
- The research shows that generalists tend to narrow their dietary range while specialists expand theirs in response to changing food resources, leading to greater overlap in their niches.
- Despite having the ability to adapt, both types face risks with climate change, particularly specialists, whose biomass risks collapsing even when conditions seem favorable.
