Interventions to improve access to cancer care in underserved populations in high income countries: a systematic review.
Oncol Rev
November 2024
Geoffrey and Robyn Sperber Health Sciences Library, 1-150M Edmonton Clinic Health Academy, University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB, Canada.
Article Synopsis
- Underserved populations in Canada and globally face serious cancer care inequities due to systemic barriers, which leads to inadequate care and outcomes.
- The study aims to identify effective interventions that improve access to cancer care for these populations in high-income countries and the US, using a systematic review of relevant literature from the past decade.
- Out of 7,549 articles reviewed, 74 studies were included, highlighting seven types of interventions like patient navigation and financial support, primarily addressing issues like language, financial constraints, and geographical access to improve cancer screening and care for targeted groups.
Ventral hernia repair with permanent mesh for non-Hispanic black versus white patients: access and post-operative outcomes in the era of robotic surgery.
Surg Endosc
January 2025
Department of Surgery, Yale School of Medicine, PO Box 208062, New Haven, CT, 06520, USA.
Background: Robotic ventral hernia surgery may provide better patient outcomes. Whether it is provided equitably based on race remains unknown.
Methods: We examined whether patients from the Abdominal Core Health Quality Collaborative who were Black had equitable access to robotic surgery for ventral hernia repair with permanent mesh compared to white counterparts from 2013 to 2023.
Online active learning in undergraduate dental education: A scoping review.
J Dent Educ
September 2024
School of Dentistry, Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada.
Purpose: Research on online active learning (OAL) in dental education has increased in recent years; however, this literature has yet to be comprehensively summarized to document the available evidence and identify research gaps. This scoping review aimed to comprehensively map the extent and depth of the research activity on OAL in undergraduate dental education.
Methods: The review adhered to Arksey & O'Malley's multi-step framework and followed the PRISMA Extension Scoping Reviews guidelines.
Machine learning predicts cerebral vasospasm in patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage.
EBioMedicine
July 2024
Department of Anesthesia and Perioperative Medicine at University of California, Los Angeles Health, USA. Electronic address:
Background: Cerebral vasospasm (CV) is a feared complication which occurs after 20-40% of subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH). It is standard practice to admit patients with SAH to intensive care for an extended period of resource-intensive monitoring. We used machine learning to predict CV requiring verapamil (CVRV) in the largest and only multi-center study to date.

Cochrane Database Syst Rev
October 2023
General Practice Clinical Unit, Medical School, The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia.
Background: Concerns exist regarding antibiotic prescribing for respiratory tract infections (RTIs) owing to adverse reactions, cost and antibacterial resistance. One proposed strategy to reduce antibiotic prescribing is to provide prescriptions, but to advise delay in antibiotic use with the expectation that symptoms will resolve first. This is an update of a Cochrane Review originally published in 2007, and updated in 2010, 2013 and 2017.
