Automated Detection of In-Home Activities with Ultra-Wideband Sensors.

As Canada's population of older adults rises, the need for aging-in-place solutions is growing due to the declining quality of long-term-care homes and long wait times. While the current standards include questionnaire-based assessments for monitoring activities of daily living (ADLs), there is an urgent need for advanced indoor localization technologies that ensure privacy. This study explores the use of Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology for activity recognition in a mock condo in the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital.

Effects of and genotype on systemic anastrozole and fulvestrant concentrations in SWOG S0226.

This study tested associations of genotype-predicted activity of CYP3A4, other pharmacogenes, (rs11648166) and (rs28845026) with systemic concentrations of the endocrine therapies anastrozole and fulvestrant in SWOG S0226 trial participants. Participants in the anastrozole-only arm with low CYP3A4 activity (i.e.

Auricular Composite Graft Survival in Rhinoplasty.

Auricular composite grafts can be used in rhinoplasty to correct defects of the internal nasal valve, ala, vestibule, sill, and external nose. The objective of this study was to measure the auricular composite graft (ACG) survival rate and patient-reported outcome with Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) score among patients undergoing rhinoplasty. A retrospective chart review was performed of all patients who underwent rhinoplasty with ACGs from 2002 to 2019 by the senior author.

An Electronic Information Kiosk for Enhancing Patient Accrual for Cancer Clinical Trials: A Pilot and Feasibility Study.

Introduction Low accrual to clinical trials for solid tumors at our institution led to a review of possible modifiable factors within our control. This led to a pilot project to determine whether improved patient awareness could alter accrual rates to active trials. Methods An information kiosk was located at the patient library on the ground floor of the London Regional Cancer Program.

Remote, proactive, telephone based management of toxicity in outpatients during adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy for early stage breast cancer: pragmatic, cluster randomised trial.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of remote proactive management of toxicities during chemotherapy for early stage breast cancer.

Design: Pragmatic, cluster randomised trial.

Setting: 20 cancer centres in Ontario, Canada, allocated by covariate constrained randomisation to remote management of toxicities or routine care.
