Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to Optimize Post-Operative Recovery (COPE): a randomized controlled feasibility trial in extremity fracture patients.
Pilot Feasibility Stud
January 2025
Department of Health Research Methods, Evidence, and Impact, McMaster University, Hamilton, ON, Canada.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the feasibility of an online cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) program for patients recovering from extremity fractures compared to usual care.
- Despite enrolling 94 participants, recruitment showed a "yellow light," indicating some success but needing improvements.
- Compliance with the CBT program was low, as only 60% completed all modules, leading to a "red light," suggesting significant changes are necessary before a larger trial can proceed.
Effect of digital health applications with or without gamification on physical activity and cardiometabolic risk factors: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
EClinicalMedicine
October 2024
Toronto 3D Knowledge Synthesis and Clinical Trials Unit, Clinical Nutrition and Risk Factor Modification Center, St. Michael's Hospital, Unity Health Toronto, Toronto, ON M5B 1W8, Canada.
Background: Use of health applications (apps) to support healthy lifestyles has intensified. Different app features may support effectiveness, including gamification defined as the use of game elements in a non-game situation. Whether health apps with gamification can impact behaviour change and cardiometabolic risk factors remains unknown.

Foundations of Success & CMP, New York, New York, USA.
Identifying and assessing the magnitude of direct threats to ecosystems and species are critical steps to prioritizing, planning, implementing, and assessing conservation actions. Just as medical clinicians and researchers need a standard way to talk about human diseases, conservation practitioners and scientists need a common and comprehensive language to talk about the threats they are facing to facilitate joint action, evaluation, and learning. To meet this need, in 2008 the IUCN Species Survival Commission and the Conservation Measures Partnership produced the first version of a common threats classification with the understanding that it would be periodically updated to take into account new information and learning.

Eur J Clin Nutr
December 2024
Clinical Nutrition Unit, Catalan Institute of Oncology (ICO), Barcelona, Spain.
Background: Oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) of human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive status is increasing relative to HPV-negative disease. Nutritional features of OPSCC patients according to HPV status is unclear.
Subjects/methods: Canadian and Spanish patients with OPSCC were assessed for body mass index (BMI), weight loss grade (WLG), and computed tomography-defined skeletal muscle index (SMI).
Exploiting 2D Neural Network Frameworks for 3D Segmentation Through Depth Map Analytics of Harvested Wild Blueberries ( Ait.).
J Imaging
December 2024
Faculty of Sustainable Design Engineering, University of Prince Edward Island, Charlottetown, PE C1A 4P3, Canada.
This study introduced a novel approach to 3D image segmentation utilizing a neural network framework applied to 2D depth map imagery, with Z axis values visualized through color gradation. This research involved comprehensive data collection from mechanically harvested wild blueberries to populate 3D and red-green-blue (RGB) images of filled totes through time-of-flight and RGB cameras, respectively. Advanced neural network models from the YOLOv8 and Detectron2 frameworks were assessed for their segmentation capabilities.
