Being out of HIV care (OOC) is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. We assessed implementation of Lost & Found, a clinic-based intervention to reengage OOC patients. OOC patients were identified using a nurse-validated, real-time OOC list within the electronic medical records (EMR) system. Nurses called OOC patients. Implementation occurred at the McGill University Health Centre from April 2018 to 2019. Results from questionnaires to nurses showed elevated scores for implementation outcomes throughout, but with lower, more variable scores during pre-implementation to month 3 [e.g., adoption subscales (scale: 1-5): range from pre-implementation to month 3, 3.7-4.9; thereafter, 4.2-4.9]. Qualitative results from focus groups with nurses were consistent with observed quantitative trends. Barriers concerning the EMR and nursing staff shortages explained reductions in fidelity. Strategies for overcoming barriers to implementation were crucial in early months of implementation. Intervention compatibility, information systems support, as well as nurses' team processes, knowledge, and skills facilitated implementation.

Background: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is characterized by persistent feelings of sadness and loss of interest. Ketamine has been widely used to treat MDD owing to its rapid effect in relieving depressive symptoms. Importantly, not all patients respond to ketamine treatment.

Digital twins, driven by data and mathematical modelling, have emerged as powerful tools for simulating complex biological systems. In this work, we focus on modelling the clearance on a liver-on-chip as a digital twin that closely mimics the clearance functionality of the human liver. Our approach involves the creation of a compartmental physiological model of the liver using ordinary differential equations (ODEs) to estimate pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters related to on-chip liver clearance.

Background: There is growing evidence that botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) can mediate changes at the central level through peripheral mechanisms, leading to alterations in central sensorimotor integration. However, the effect of BoNT on brainstem excitability in patients with hemifacial spasm(HFS) is not yet fully understood, and its long-term effects remain unknown.
Objective: This study aims to investigate the impact of BoNT on the excitability of the facial nucleus in patients with idiopathic HFS.

Introduction: Colorectal cancer is the third most common malignancy in developed countries. Diagnosis strongly depends on the pathologist's expertise and laboratory equipment, and patient survival is influenced by the cancer's stage at detection. Non-invasive spectroscopic techniques can aid early diagnosis, monitor disease progression, and assess changes in physiological parameters in both heterogeneous samples and advanced platforms like Organ-on-Chip (OoC).

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an idiopathic gastrointestinal disease with drastically increasing incidence rates. Due to its multifactorial etiology, a precise investigation of the pathogenesis is extremely difficult. Although reductionist cell culture models and more complex disease models in animals have clarified the understanding of individual disease mechanisms and contributing factors of IBD in the past, it remains challenging to bridge research and clinical practice.
