Developing the Driving and Dementia Roadmap: a knowledge-to-action process.

Objectives: Despite three decades of research, gaps remain in meeting the needs of people with dementia and their family/friend carers as they navigate the often-tumultuous process of driving cessation. This paper describes the process of using a knowledge-to-action (KTA) approach to develop an educational web-based resource (i.e.

Symptomatic scalp fistula present in a 14-month-old toddler.

This case report covers the resection of a pulsatile scalp fistula, in a 14-month-old toddler. We discuss the patient diagnosis, imaging techniques used, as well as the patient's surgical intervention. We highlight the aetiology of arteriovenous fistulas, while comparing and contrasting previous case reports and their interventions, to our own specific case.

Subjective Experiences of Driving Cessation and Dementia: A Meta-Synthesis of Qualitative Literature.

: To review qualitative research on the specific challenges and strategies that relate to driving cessation for older adults with dementia, from the perspectives of key informant groups.: A meta-synthesis of qualitative studies was conducted. Structured inclusion criteria were applied to screen 616 titles and abstracts, and 9 qualitative studies were included, published from 2002 to 2016.

Effective communication of public health guidance to emergency department clinicians in the setting of emerging incidents: a qualitative study and framework.

Background: Evidence to inform communication between emergency department clinicians and public health agencies is limited. In the context of diverse, emerging public health incidents, communication is urgent, as emergency department clinicians must implement recommendations to protect themselves and the public. The objectives of this study were to: explore current practices, barriers and facilitators at the local level for communicating public health guidance to emergency department clinicians in emerging public health incidents; and develop a framework that promotes effective communication of public health guidance to clinicians during emerging incidents.

A systematic review of intervention approaches for driving cessation in older adults.

Objective: The aim of this project was to review the literature on interventions aimed at facilitating driving cessation in older adults, with and without dementia.

Methods: A literature search was performed using the databases MEDLINE, CINAHL, Cochrane Central, Embase, and PsycINFO, from 1994 to September 2014. Two independent raters screened articles for inclusion and extracted study data.

Preparedness as a technology of (in)security: Pandemic influenza planning and the global biopolitics of emerging infectious disease.

This article takes as its starting point the idea that re-emerging infectious disease has become a paradigmatic way of thinking about disease. The framing of infectious disease as a threat to global public health and economic security coincides with preemptive forms of control. A particular type of preemptive regulation is global pandemic influenza planning that entails the governing of an imminent, albeit uncertain, global health event.

Systematic review of qualitative literature on occupational health and safety legislation and regulatory enforcement planning and implementation.

Objective: The ability of occupational health and safety (OHS) legislation and regulatory enforcement to prevent workplace injuries and illnesses is contingent on political, economic, and organizational conditions. This systematic review of qualitative research articles considers how OHS legislation and regulatory enforcement are planned and implemented.

Methods: A comprehensive search of peer-reviewed, English-language articles published between 1990 and 2013 yielded 11 947 articles.

The New Public Health Hegemony: Response to Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in Toronto.

The 2003 Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) outbreak presented a challenging period for public health in Toronto. Many old and new public health measures were implemented at local, national and global levels, in an attempt to control the outbreak of the disease. Among these, surveillance mechanisms dominated, which involved new epidemiological techniques and statistical profiling strategies.
