Content Analysis of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis-related Information on Twitter.

Background: Information regarding idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) on the internet is often outdated, inaccurate, and potentially harmful. Twitter is a social media platform that allows users to post content in the form of "tweets".

Objective: We sought to assess the prevalence of inaccurate information regarding IPF on Twitter.

Social Media Content of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Groups and Pages on Facebook: Cross-sectional Analysis.

Background: Patients use Facebook as a resource for medical information. We analyzed posts on idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF)-related Facebook groups and pages for the presence of guideline content, user engagement, and usefulness.

Objective: The objective of this study was to describe and analyze posts from Facebook groups and pages that primarily focus on IPF-related content.

Successful lung transplantation in an HIV seropositive patient with desquamative interstitial pneumonia: a case report.

Background: Until recently, lung transplantation was not considered in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). HIV seropositive patients with suppressed viral loads can now expect long-term survival with the advent of highly active antiretroviral therapies (HAART); however, HIV remains a relative contraindication to lung transplantation. We describe, to our knowledge, the first HIV seropositive lung transplant recipient in Canada.

Neuromuscular conditions associated with malignant hyperthermia in paediatric patients: A 25-year retrospective study.

Malignant Hyperthermia (MH) is a rare pharmacogenetic syndrome that can be fatal and the risk of MH in non RYR1-related disorders is unknown. We conducted a retrospective study to determine the prevalence of neuromuscular disorders among patients with MH at our centre. Patients who were admitted to the Hospital for Sick Children during the study period of January 1, 1990 to April 1, 2015 with a CK level > 8000 IU/L, or who received dantrolene, or who had a clinical diagnosis of MH were included.
