Background: Ugandan health authorities declared an outbreak of Ebola disease (EBOD), caused by the Sudan virus, in September 2022. A rapid review was conducted to update the Public Health Agency of Canada's guidelines for infection prevention and control measures for EBOD in healthcare settings to prepare for potential introduction of cases.
Objective: Summarize the available evidence on personal protective equipment (PPE) use by healthcare workers (HCWs) to prevent exposure to and transmission of viral hemorrhagic fevers (VHFs), including Ebola virus.

Introduction: Medication errors are one of the most endangering factors for patient safety, and they have become a key target for improvement in health- and social care systems worldwide. The most current development needs are related to outpatient care; however, up-to-date medication safety research and improvement activities have primarily focused on hospital environments. To promote medication safety in outpatient care, community pharmacies could be more effectively utilized.

However, there are currently few effective tools for early identification or prediction of this risk. As machine learning (ML) is increasingly used in clinical practice, its effectiveness in predicting cerebral edema risk in stroke patients has been explored.

Introduction: In the OPTIMISMM trial, pomalidomide/bortezomib/dexamethasone (PVd) significantly prolonged median progression-free survival (PFS) versus bortezomib/dexamethasone (Vd) in lenalidomide-exposed relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). We report final overall survival (OS) and updated efficacy analyses.
Methods: Adults with RRMM who had 1-3 prior regimens, including lenalidomide (≥ 2 cycles), were assigned (1:1) to PVd or Vd.

Introduction And Hypothesis: The objective was to externally validate and recalibrate a previously developed model for predicting postoperative surgical-site infection (SSI) after pelvic organ prolapse (POP) surgery.
Methods: This study utilized a previously validated model for predicting post-POP surgery SSI within 90 days of surgery using a Medicare population. For this study, the model was externally validated and recalibrated using the Premier Healthcare Database (PHD) and the National Surgical Quality Improvement Project (NSQIP) database.
