As digital technologies continue to impact medicine, emergency medicine providers have an opportunity to work together to harness these technologies and shape their implementation within our healthcare system. COVID-19 and the rapid scaling of virtual care provide an example of how profoundly emergency medicine can be affected by digital technology, both positively and negatively. This example also strengthens the case for why EM providers can help lead the integration of digital technologies within our broader healthcare system. As virtual care becomes a permanent fixture of our system, and other technologies such as AI and wearables break into Canadian healthcare, more advocacy, research, and health system leadership will be required to best leverage these tools. This paper outlines the purpose and outputs of the newly founded CAEP Digital Emergency Medicine (DigEM) Committee, with the hope of inspiring further interest amongst CAEP members and creating opportunities to collaborate with other organizations within CAEP and across EM groups nationwide.

Trimetazidine: Activating AMPK Signal to Ameliorate Coronary Microcirculation Dysfunction after Myocardial Infarction.
Front Biosci (Landmark Ed)
January 2025
Department of Cardiology, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, 401336 Chongqing, China.
Background: Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury and coronary microcirculation dysfunction (CMD) are observed in patients with myocardial infarction after vascular recanalization. The antianginal drug trimetazidine has been demonstrated to exert a protective effect in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury.
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the role of trimetazidine in endothelial cell dysfunction caused by myocardial I/R injury and thus improve coronary microcirculation.
Immune Cell Characteristics and Infections Associated with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Asthma, and Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD): A Mendelian Randomization Studies.
Br J Hosp Med (Lond)
January 2025
Department of Infectious Diseases, The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, Suzhou, Jiangsu, China.
Epidemiological studies indicate that the involvement of the immune system in the pathogenesis of infections associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, and interstitial lung disease (ILD) remains unclear. This study aims to assess the potential causal link between infections associated with COPD, asthma, or ILD and immune system function. We conducted a two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis using publicly available genome-wide association study (GWAS) datasets.

Viruses
December 2024
Department of Gastroenterology, Grigore T. Popa University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 700115 Iasi, Romania.
Background: Hepatitis B (HBV) and Delta (HDV) virus infections pose critical public health challenges, particularly in Romania, where HDV co-infection is underdiagnosed.
Methods: This study investigates the epidemiology, risk factors, and clinical outcomes of HBV/HDV co-infection in vulnerable populations, leveraging data from the LIVE(RO2) program. Conducted between July 2021 and November 2023, the program screened 320,000 individuals across 24 counties, targeting socially disadvantaged groups such as rural residents, the Roma community, and those lacking health insurance.
Examining the Influence of Omega-3 Fatty Acids on Performance, Recovery, and Injury Management for Health Optimization: A Systematic Review Focused on Military Service Members.
Nutrients
January 2025
Department of Military and Emergency Medicine, F. Edward Hébert School of Medicine, Uniformed Services University, Bethesda, MD 20814, USA.
Background/objectives: Omega-3 fatty acids (-3), recognized for their anti-inflammatory and brain health benefits, are being studied to enhance cognitive function, aid physical recovery, and reduce injury rates among military service members (SMs). Given the unique demands faced by this tactical population, this systematic review aims to evaluate the evidence of -3 to support physical and mental resilience and overall performance.
Methods: This review was conducted in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines and includes articles that assessed -3 status or implemented -3 interventions in relation to physical and cognitive performance, recovery, and injury outcomes (2006 to 2024).
Risk-Prioritised Versus Universal Medical Nutrition Therapy for Gestational Diabetes: A Retrospective Observational Study.
Nutrients
January 2025
Diabetes and Endocrine Service, Liverpool Hospital, Sydney, NSW 2170, Australia.
Background: The optimal application of medical nutrition therapy (MNT) in treating gestational diabetes remains uncertain. MNT involves individualised nutrition assessment and counselling, which is labour-intensive and is not the sole type of intervention offered by clinical dietitians.
Objective: To determine whether pregnancy outcomes differed for individuals with gestational diabetes who were offered MNT on a risk-prioritised (RP) versus universal basis.
