An outbreak of cyclosporiasis in Ontario, Canada, was investigated in the fall of 2015. Thirty-five confirmed and 10 probable cases were linked to the investigation. Epidemiological and food safety evidence implicated fresh sugar snap peas imported from Guatemala as the source of the outbreak. We describe here the first documented cyclosporiasis outbreak in Canada involving the consumption of sugar snap peas.

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program issuance timing is associated with sugar-sweetened beverage marketing in the USA.

Objective: Prior research has shown that there are more supermarket displays of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) during times when Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits are distributed ('issuance periods'). This may contribute to inequitable purchasing and consumption. This study examines whether SSB marketing in weekly supermarket circulars, which retailers use to advertise products, is more prevalent during issuance periods compared to non-issuance periods.

Elevated Fulminant Index (FI), [plasma glucose (PG)/glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)], was reportedly a sensitive index to differentiate fulminant type 1 diabetes (FT1D) from non-fulminant T1D (nFT1D). Aim of this study was to describe a better, but simpler index of FT1D. 49 and 52 patients with FT1D and nFT1D, respectively, were registered, and the discriminating ability of the rounded, normalized ratio, [PG (mmol/L) - 5.

Introduction: The comorbidities of ischemic heart disease (IHD) and diabetes mellitus (DM) compromise the protection of the diabetic heart from ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. We hypothesized that manipulation of reperfusion injury salvage kinase (RISK) and survivor activating factor enhancement (SAFE) pathways might protect the diabetic heart, and intervention of these pathways could be a new avenue for potentially protecting the diabetic heart.
Methods: All hearts were subjected to 30-min ischemia and 30-min reperfusion.
