Days Spent at Home before Death from Cancer for Immigrants and Long-Term Residents in Ontario, Canada.

Time at home before death is an emerging patient-centered metric of quality end-of-life care. It is unknown if immigrants who die from cancer in Ontario spend less time at home near the end of life. Compare the number of days at home (DAH) in the last six months of life for immigrants and long-term residents (LTRs) who die from cancer.

Disease associations with isolated elevations of each of the four IgG subclasses.

Purpose: Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a relatively newly defined disease entity that refers to a group of immune-mediated disorders that have certain histopathologic, serologic, and clinical features in common. IgG4-RD is often associated with elevated serum IgG4. The discovery of IgG4-RD highlights the scarcity of literature examining elevations in other IgG subclasses and their potential associations to disease.
