I arrived in Saskatoon in September, not entirely sure what it would be like to do medieval studies in the stubble fields of Saskatchewan. After less than a year at the University of Saskatchewan, I am still not entirely sure, but have benefited greatly from informative chats with kindly colleagues (none of whom, of course, bears any responsibility for the cheerful ignorance here displayed in my opinions). This institution is perhaps better known for its biotech research, its programs in veterinary medicine, or its synchrotron, but being a medievalist here can be a source of some unexpected pleasures.

In 2015, a coalition of six Saskatoon community organizations (the Elizabeth Fry Society of Saskatchewan, AIDS Saskatoon, STR8 UP 10,000 Little Steps to Healing, Inc., the Mennonite Central Committee, the Micah Mission, and Community Legal Assistance Services for Saskatoon Inner City [CLASSIC])1 and a university researcher (Sarah Buhler from the University of Saskatchewan College of Law) came together to address the issue of telephone access in Saskatchewan’s provincial correctional centres. Together we established an informal research coalition that we called “Project Access.” The issue of telephone access in provincial prisons had been identified by the six community organizations through their ongoing work with prisoners and former prisoners. Specific concerns included the exorbitant costs of the prison telephone system and unfair and uneven application of policies regarding telephone access. As we met to discuss the issue, it became clear to us that in order to advocate effectively for changes to the system, we needed to research the issue and to learn more about the ways the current telephone access policies were being implemented in provincial prisons.

The article discusses a collaborative project undertaken in Saskatoon by Community Engagement and Outreach office at the University of Saskatchewan in partnership with undergraduate student mothers with lived experience of poverty. The results of the project were presented as an animated graphic narrative that seeks to make space for an under-represented student subpopulation, tracing strategies of survival among university, inner city and home worlds. The innovative animation format is intended to share with all citizens how community supports can be used to claim fairer health and education outcomes within system forces at play in society. This article discusses the project process, including the background stories of the students. The entire project, based at the University of Saskatchewan, Community Engagement and Outreach office at Station 20 West, in Saskatoon’s inner city, explores complex intersections of racialization, poverty and gender for the purpose of cultivating empathy and deeper understanding within the university to better support inner city students. amplifying community voices and emphasizing the social determinants of health in Saskatoon through animated stories.

AbstractThis paper describes the process of engaging the extended Indigenous community within Saskatoon and the surrounding First Nations communities in what would be a first major research project between Indigenous communities and the University of Saskatchewan. A management committee was established comprised of all the major Saskatoon/Saskatchewan Indigenous organisations, such as the Federation of Saskatchewan Indians, Saskatoon Tribal Council, First Nations University of Canada and other community-based groups to ensure that research reflected First Nations and Metis needs. The project called “Bridges and Foundations” awarded some 35 projects close to two million dollars in research funds. The money was awarded through graduate student research bursaries, and community-based projects which highlighted the needs of Indigenous women, youth, students, elders and urban populations. The three research themes included respectful protocol, knowledge creation, and policy development. The research projects, which were largely Indigenous designed and driven, created one of the most extensive research collections over a period of four years and included major data collection on community-based research, Indigenous peoples and Indigenous knowledge systems and protocols. The paper relates the development of the project and speaks about the need for Indigenous peoples to lead their own research as well as the benefits of collaboration. It also highlights several of the research projects including a conference on Indigenous knowledge (2004), a video project describing the community mobilisation process behind Quint Urban Housing Co-operatives,

Full textAbstract:
While writing his memoir, the author highlights the root causes of Collaboration University of Saskatchewan and State University of Chernivtsi Agreement. In June, 1977 on behalf of Professor Konstiantyn Chervinskyi – the-then Rector of State University of Chernivtsi, the author had the honour to meet in Kyiv Robert Begg – the President of University of Saskatchewan. What is more, during this crucial meeting the author initiated the talks concerning further fruitful collaboration between universities.
Interestingly, the actual inter-university collaboration has started taking its shape since 1976, when a bronze statue of Lesya Ukrayinka, made in Kyiv (Ukraine in former USSR) by sculptor Halyna Kalchenko and architect Anatoliy Ihnashchenko, was unveiled at the University of Saskatchewan (Sascatoon). The monument was presented to the University by the Association for Cultural Relations with Ukrainians Abroad. Significantly, it was the Association that invited the Rector of University of Saskatchewan and his wife to pay an official visit to Ukraine. The Rector himself suggested signing the agreement with one of the universities of West Ukraine. Symbolically, State University of Chernivtsi was targeted by the Ministry of Higher and Secondary Specialized Education of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. Of particular value were the provisions of University of Saskatchewan agreement. They supported the study of the language, culture and history of Ukraine. Furthermore, the agreement aimed at academic and cultural exchanges of faculty, scholars and students at the post-secondary level. This was unprecedented formal agreement between a North American university and a university in Ukraine.
Noteworthy, Collaboration agreement was solemnly concluded by both Rectors on June 5, 1977 in compliance with the sticking points of the Canadian part. Regrettably, the former USSR’s (Mocsow) authorities amended the agreement, excluding the point of students’ exchange program. In terms of the Canadian students, they were able to come and study at State University of Chernivtsi; our students, however, were forbidden to cross the borders of the USSR. Instead, the faculty of our university enjoyed the right to go on their sabbatical to Saskatoon. Paying the tribute to University of Saskatchewan, the author extends his gratitude to its authorities. Nevertheless, after the USSR collapse, the students of State University of Chernivtsi got an excellent opportunity to study in Canada. To conclude, the Agreement prolongs its validity. To be more precise, the Chernivtsi-Saskatoon Universities’ Collaboration Agreement will celebrate its 40th anniversary in 2017. According to the author, the agreement has quite a reasonable right to be extended.

Full textAbstract:
Saskatoon in the late twenties experienced a minor construction boom. Then in 1930 the Depression hit, coinciding with more than a decade of drought that decimated Saskatchewan's farm communities and urban centres. In 1931 Saskatoon proposed a relief project. It would construct a concrete arch bridge across the South Saskatchewan River connecting the downtown business district with Nutana.Acting as the City's consulting engineer, C. J. Mackenzie, Dean of Engineering at the University of Saskatchewan, directed the design of the bridge. The metastable south bank, much higher than the downtown side of the river, was a major factor in his design. The simple geometric lines of the structure resulted in its enduring aesthetic quality.As a relief project, the Broadway Bridge had to be constructed within a year. All labour was obtained from the ranks of unemployed married men. Often 450 men were employed at once, working three shifts around the clock. During construction of the piers, temperatures fell to −40 °C (−40°F) for several days. The river's flood stage in June made it impossible to construct the majority of the falsework in the river until July. By October, freezing temperatures were again being experienced.Yet for all the difficulties, on November 11, 1932, the bridge was officially opened. It had taken the people of Saskatoon less than 11 months to construct their bridge. Unfortunately, many years of even harder times loomed ahead. Key words: arch, bridge, concrete, construction, history.

The objective of this study was to quantitatively characterize the growth, yield and fruit size of cultivars of chokecherry (Prunus virginiana L.), pincherry (Prunus pensylvanica L.f.), highbush cranberry (Viburnum trilobum Marsh.), and black currant (Ribes nigrum L.). Cultivars were evaluated in replicated trials at two sites (Saskatoon and Outlook) in Saskatchewan over 2–5 yr. Espenant, Garrington, Lee Red, and Boughen Yellow were among the highest yielding of the chokecherry cultivars (mean yield = 7.2 kg plant-1 at Saskatoon); of these, Lee Red had the largest fruit. The pincherry cultivar Lee #4 (mean yield = 3.1 kg plant-1) yielded at least twice as much as Mary Liss or Jumping Pound. Highbush cranberry cultivars Alaska, Espenant, Garry Pink, Manitou, and Wentworth averaged yields of 2.0 kg plant-1 at Saskatoon. Of these, Manitou had the largest fruit. Two black currant trials were established; the cultivars included in the second trial were not available at the time of establishment of the first trial. Black currant yields ranged from 0.2 kg plant-1 for Willoughby to 1.0 kg plant-1 for Consort in the first trial, and from 0.2 kg plant-1 for the selection 4-24-29 to 2.0 kg plant-1 for McGinnis Black in the second trial. Black currant cultivars with the largest fruit size included Wellington, Topsy, and three numbered selections from the University of Saskatchewan (mean = 225 fruit/cup) in the first trial, and Ben Sarek, McGinnis Black, and Ben Alder (mean = 156 fruit/cup) in the second trial. Data from the current study provide a basis on which to evaluate the performance of currently available cultivars, and any new cultivars or future selections that may be developed. Key words: Prunus virginiana, Prunus pensylvanica, Viburnum trilobum, Ribes nigrum, fruit size, shoot growth, cultivar evaluation

Full textAbstract:
AbstractIllustrating contexts for and voices of the Indigenous humanities, this essay aims to clarify what the Indigenous humanities can mean for reclaiming education as Indigenous knowledges and pedagogies. After interrogating the visual representation of education and place in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, the essay turns to media constructions of that same place as an exemplary site for understanding Aboriginal relations to the Canadian justice system, before sharing more general reflections on thinking place. The task of animating education is then resituated in the Indigenous humanities developed at the University of Saskatchewan, Canada, as a set of intercultural and interdisciplinary theoretical and practical interventions designed to counter prevailing notions of colonial place. The essay concludes by placing education as promise and practice within the non-coercive normative orders offered by the United Nations. In multiple framings and locations of the Indigenous humanities, the essay aims to help readers to meet the challenges they themselves face as educators, learners, scholars, activists.

Full textAbstract:
Background: One of the major risk factors for spine infection is IV drug use and HIV infection. An increase in these risk factors has coincided with increased rates of spinal infection in Saskatchewan. However, the exact incidence and the clinical significance of spine infection associated with high-risk behavior is poorly understood. Methods: A retrospective review was completed for adult patients with discitis, osteomyelitis, or epidural abscess admitted to the Royal University Hospital, University of Saskatchewan over the last eight years. Results: This study included 176 patients consisting of 41% with discitis, 69% with osteomyelitis and 45% with epidural abscess. Overall mortality was 3% and 16% of patients developed severe disability.40% of patients were intravenous drug users, 45% were hepatitis C positive and 12% were HIV positive. For the initial four years of our study we experienced 72 patients. We experienced 91 cases over the past four years. Geographical analysis showed high incidence areas within the city of Saskatoon. Conclusions: High rates of IV drug use, Hepatitis C, and HIV have important implications in terms of what measures would assist in prevention of this condition. Secondary prevention or early identification of patients may reduce the number of patients who require lengthy admission, surgery and long term care for disablity.

Full textAbstract:
Following the First International Muskox Symposium, held at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks, in 1983, it was agreed that a second symposium should be held in Canada in 1987 under the general guidance of a committee composed of A. S. Blix, L. Königsson, J. E. Rowell, H. Thing, and R. G. White. This symposium, the Second International Muskox Symposium, took place at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Saskatchewan, from 1 to 4 October 1987. It was attended by more than 70 people representing nine countries, including all of the circumpolar nations. The symposium covered all aspects of muskox biology ranging from the endocrinology of reproduction to paleontology. It also included a presentation on the takin (Budorcas taxicolor), regarded as the only close relative of the muskox. In all there were 32 papers, 24 posters, a workshop on the management of expanding muskox populations led by Dr. Graeme Caughley, and an informal evening discussion and display on the commercial use of muskoxen.The 14 papers included in this issue are those contributions to the symposium that represent completed original work that falls within the scope of the Canadian Journal of Zoology and is not in press elsewhere. Written accounts of other contributions to the symposium have been printed independently and are bound with reprints of the papers appearing here to form the Proceedings of the Second International Muskox Symposium. Copies of the proceedings may be purchased by writing to the above address.Grateful thanks are due to Janice Rowell, without whom muskoxen would never have become a focus of research in Saskatoon; there would then have been no reason to choose Saskatoon as the symposium site. John Blake, Ron Chaplin, Colleen Stevens, and Patti Wilk played an invaluable part in the local organization. Anne Gunn provided much essential advice and liaison with the Northwest Territories Wildlife Service, who were instrumental in organizing the workshop on expanding muskox populations. Financial support was generously provided by the Government of the Northwest Territories, the Northern Affairs Program of the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development, the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, the City of Saskatoon, the University of Saskatchewan, and Gulf Oil Canada. A debt of gratitude is also owed to the Dean of the Western College of Veterinary Medicine, Dr. G. F. Hamilton, for his encouragement and for putting the facilities of the college at our disposal, and especially to Dr. John Tener who graciously acted as our honorary chairman and gave us a most stimulating opening address.

IntroductionHousing instability and homelessness are significant barriers to medical treatment for people living with HIV/AIDS. For these individuals, lack of stable housing and stigma is associated with insufficient access to care, poor adherence to medication and higher cost burdens to the healthcare system. This protocol reports on the efforts to evaluate Sanctum V.1.0, a hospice and transitional care home for adults with HIV/AIDS in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. The current project was developed out of a need to identify how Sanctum V.1.0 produces varying programme outcomes to assist in endeavours to replicate the programme in other geographic locations.Methods and analysisA realist evaluation will be conducted to explore how and why Sanctum V.1.0 is successful or unsuccessful, in which circumstances and for whom. Rather than explore the degree to which a programme is effective, realist evaluations seek to uncover mechanisms that explain processual links between programme inputs and outcomes. The completed first phase of the project involved the development of an initial realist programme theory. Phases 2 and 3 will consist of methods to test, refine and validate the initial theory using various data sources.Ethics and disseminationEthics approval was obtained from the institutional review board at the University of Saskatchewan on 2 July 2020. Results will be disseminated according to stakeholders’ desires.

Full textAbstract:
The author highlights his 40-year academic career with emphasis on the major contributions of technicians, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows in his research laboratory. Postdoctoral research in Canberra, Australia, on algal cell division preceded a faculty position in the Biology Department, University of Saskatchewan, that stretched from 1970 until today. Early work in Saskatoon that focused on cultured plant cells and protoplasts developed into an investigation of the structure and function of plant coated vesicles. A short sabbatical in Sweden resulted in a 15-year research program on somatic embryogenesis in conifers. A return to the study of cell division over the last 10 plus years resulted in the discovery and analysis of a family of plant cell division inhibitors. The author’s story emphasizes the importance of having motivated and creative scientists in the laboratory, but also recognizes the impact of serendipity. International collaborations are also featured.

AbstractCultivated lentil suffers yield loss from stemphylium blight, caused by Stemphylium botryosum Wallr. Identification of sources of stemphylium blight resistance and knowledge of the mode of inheritance of resistance are important for developing resistant cultivars. The interspecific recombinant inbred line (RIL) population developed from a cross between the moderately resistant parent Lens culinaris cv. ‘Eston’ and the resistant parent L. ervoides (Brign.) Grande accession IG 72815 was evaluated for stemphylium blight resistance under controlled conditions at the University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Canada, and under field conditions at the Pulses Research Centre (PRC), Ishurdi, Bangladesh. We hypothesized that resistance from both parents will lead to transgressive segregation indicative of pyramiding of resistance genes from the same. However, no resistant transgressive segregants were observed in the RIL population. A large proportion (50%) of the RILs had disease severity levels similar to the resistant parent IG 72815 in experiments conducted under natural disease pressure in Bangladesh. Under controlled conditions in Saskatoon, 38% of RILs had resistance levels similar to IG 72815. Across all environments, 14 RILs consistently had resistance levels similar to IG 72815. The distribution of disease severity scores for all RILs indicated polygenic inheritance of stemphylium blight resistance in the population. RILs with consistent resistant reactions should prove useful for lentil improvement programmes. This will contribute to increasing the productivity of lentil crops in North America and the Indo-Gangetic region, which account for more than 68% of world lentil production.

Full textAbstract:
Blue honeysuckle (Lonicera caerulea L.) is a novel fruit crop that stands out for its northern climatic adaptation. Understanding spring phenological adaptation to temperate climate is central to development of a broader range of production and greater mainstream crop potential. In 2012 and 2013 across three sites in the Fraser Valley, British Columbia, spring phenophases from bud break to fruit harvest were determined across three foundation groups. Genetic variability is characterized for Russian, Japanese, and Kuril blue honeysuckle foundation groups used in breeding at the University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, SK. Germplasm group membership is the principal feature of phenological adaptation. Although temperate climate adaptation is limited in the Russian germplasm, the intermediate Japanese and later Kuril spring phenology provide an adequate degree of temperate climate adaptation to facilitate commercial production. These findings demonstrate that blue honeysuckle has phenological adaptation to a temperate climate. Diversity between and within genetic groups presents opportunities for crop enhancement, especially through breeding for later bloom periods.

Full textAbstract:
Every conception of humanity arises from a specific place and from the people of that place. How such places shape and sustain the people of a place is the focus of education that enables each student to understand themselves and makes them feel at home in the world. The notion of Indigenous humanities being developed at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon represents an example of such ecological teachings and practices of what constitutes humanity. Ecology is the animating force that teaches us how to be human in ways that theological, moral and political ideologies are unable to. Ecology privileges no particular people or way of life. It does, however, promote Indigenous humanity as affirmed in Article 1 of the 1966 UNESCO Declaration of the Principles of International Cultural Co-operation: “Each culture has a dignity and value which must be respected and preserved” (Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, 1966). In the Eurocentric versions of humanity, this concept is sometimes referred to as cultural diversity; yet Indigenous peoples prefer the concept of Indigenous humanities.

In February 2019, OUTSaskatoon, a 2SLGBTQ+ resource centre in Saskatoon, SK, received 1.1 M in federal funds to support a five-year project set to intervene in the instances and societal perpetuation of gender-based violence toward the 2SLGBTQ+ community. The project involved partnerships between OUTSaskatoon and the University of Saskatchewan, including a comprehensive research and evaluation stream to accompany the delivery of front-line services and educational activities. During the project’s application to the University’s Research Ethics Board (REB), members of the ethics review committee expressed heightened levels of fear and discomfort not only with the subject-matter, but with the role (and centrality) of the community organization within the research process. The documented experience explores pressing barriers to effective and ethical community-university research partnerships. To this end, the authors explore their communications with the REB alongside the themes of “vulnerability,” “risk-aversion,” and more broadly regarding the timelines of community work versus university processes. Together these themes maintain a culture of academic exceptionalism that causes significant barriers to the development of reciprocal partnerships between community partners and universities. In this case, the outcome was hopeful, as a formal complaint to the REB received a documented apology. In documenting this specific, though not unique, experience, we aim to highlight the possibilities for leaning in and building ethical space between and through community and academic environments to foreground both needed critique and collaborative pathways forward.

Conifer biotechnology research has proceeded at a rapid rate of development in the 3 years since the last International Conifer Tissue Culture Work Group (ICTCWG) meeting. Since the first detailed account in 1985, somatic embryo induction has become a routine technique in many laboratories, and direct protoplast regeneration to somatic embryos has now been reported. The Fourth Meeting of the ICTCWG, which was held in Saskatoon between August 8 and 12, 1988, was therefore timely and was attended by 90 participants representing 10 countries. The meeting comprised 10 invited keynote speakers, 32 contributed oral and 21 contributed poster presentations. The topics covered the fuller scope of conifer biotechnology as it is now evolving. In the area of regeneration from zygotic embryos by organogenesis, contributed papers described the considerable progress being made toward controlled shoot and root induction, these were exemplified by the data provided by John Frampton (North Carolina State University, Raleigh) on field performance of tissue cultured plants. In-depth studies of the physiological and biochemical events associated with regeneration are yielding results pertinent to recalcitrant species, according to Trevor Thorpe (University of Calgary, Alberta). Further, Wesley Hackett (University of Minnesota, St. Paul) considered that the study of cellular and biochemical characteristics associated with maturation would help in understanding phase change and assist in the propagation efforts.Somatic embryogenesis in conifers is a current focus of attention in many laboratories. Indra Vasil (University of Florida, Gainesville) showed that there were remarkable similarities with monocot angiosperms in the malleability of somatic embryo cultures and in the regenerative potential from protoplasts of somatic embryos. The accumulation of storage proteins in maturing somatic embryos reflects the process in seed (zygotic) embryos, an analysis by Inger Hakman (Institute of Physiological Botany, Uppsala) that will be helpful in assessing somatic embryo maturation prior to transplantation. Techniques developed for the cryopreservation of somatic embryos show that it is now possible to store valuable genetic stock, and to potentially explore cold tolerance criteria, according to Kutty Kartha (Plant Biotechnology Institute, National Research Council of Canada, Saskatoon). Researchers would find it useful to occasionally review the availability of potential regenerative tissues in source plants, and in this respect, John Owens (University of Victoria, British Columbia) discussed suitable target tissues and provided observations from his studies of vegetative and reproductive phenologies. Larry Fowke (University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon) showed that the type of cultures now available (somatic embryos and protoplasts) lend themselves to investigations of the conifer cytoskeleton and cell walls, in a manner analogous to studies with other plant species.Basic studies on organelle inheritance and use of gene probes are being carried out, and genetic transformation research is still in its infancy. Ron Sederoff (North Carolina State University, Raleigh) felt that exciting results from such studies will probably be heard at the fifth meeting in Kent, England, in 1990. Finally, Maurice Moloney (University of Calgary, Alberta) anticipated that we may also then have answers to some of the remaining questions in conifer molecular biology, such as molecular evolution of genes; the role of introns, repeated sequences, and transpositions; the regulation of gene expression; and promoter function. Workshop topics during the meeting were markers of morphogenesis, economics of tissue culture propagation, phase change, and gene manipulation.The following papers, presented during the meeting are a reflection of some of the progress that is being made in conifer biotechnology research. The ICTCWG was formally renamed Conifer Biotechnology Work Group.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Psychiatrists commonly use electroencephalogram (EEG) to rule out epilepsy as a cause of psychiatric symptoms. A large number of these studies are normal. Our study aims to identify the predictive factors of an EEG with epileptiform activity in these patients. Methods: We performed a retrospective study of the EEG results and chart reviews of the 208 psychiatric patients at Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan from 2013-2015. The EEG results were correlated with several factors known to increase the probability of an abnormal recording including history of seizures, previously abnormal EEGs, imaging abnormalities, medications known to cause epileptiform discharges, electroconvulsive therapy, prematurity, brain infection, childhood febrile seizures, head trauma, and family history. Results: Of the 208 EEGs performed, 176 (84%) were normal (77%) or essentially normal (7%). Epileptiform activity was found in 13 EEGs (6.3%), of which 9 (4.3%) had a previous EEG with epileptiform activity. Focal slowing appeared in 12 EEGs (5.8%), two of which had previous abnormal EEGs. Generalized slowing was found in 7 EEGs (3.4%). Conclusions: We conclude that the majority of EEGs in patients with psychiatric manifestations are normal. The most predictive factor for epileptiform activity in this population is a previous EEG with epileptiform discharges. Other predictive factors are under review.

Calcium mobilization is a prerequisite for the expression of phorbol esterstimulated luteinizing hormone secretion from pituitaries of male and acutely ovariectomized rats. Eur J Endocrinol 1994;130:151–8. ISSN 0804–4643 Ionomycin, which mobilizes Ca2+, and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) which activates protein kinase C (PKC), were used to compare the effects/interactions of Ca2+ and PKC on luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion from pituitaries of intact male and acutely ovariectomized (72 h) rats. Quartered pituitaries from donor animals were perifused at 0.25 ml/min and sequential effluent fractions were collected every 10 min. Continuous administration (4 h) of 1 nmol of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) resulted in an increase in LH secretion. Cycloheximide (5 μmol) dissociated the GnRH-stimulated LH responses into protein synthesis-independent and -dependent components. While ionomycin (10 μmol) stimulated LH secretion from pituitaries of both sexes by protein synthesis-independent mechanisms, PMA (1 μmol) and the inactive phorbol ester, 4α-phorbol 12,13-didecanoate (PDD), were ineffective secretagogues. However, PMA (but not PDD) interacted synergistically with ionomycin and GnRH to augment LH secretion by protein synthesis-dependent mechanisms. These results suggest a similarity in the effects/interactions of Ca2 + and PKC in gonadotropes from male and ovariectomized rats. If the effects of PMA can be attributed to PKC activation, then it also appears that Ca2+ mobilization is necessary for the manifestation of PKC as a mediator of LH secretion from these gonadotropes. While PKC activity can be divorced from the protein synthesis-independent component of LH release (this component appears to be mediated by Ca2+ mobilization), the enzyme might be involved in amplifying the response to Ca2+ mobilization through synergistic, protein synthesis-dependent mechanisms.

A 2013 frozen plasma utilization audit in Ontario found that 52% of orders for plasma were inappropriate, while plasma requested for appropriate indications was frequently under-dosed (less than 10 mL/kg administered). Local trends of plasma utilization have not previously been audited. We hypothesized that hospital sites within the former Saskatoon Health Region would have similar rates of inappropriate plasma transfusion and under-dosing as reported by other recent Canadian audits. This retrospective, quality improvement audit was completed evaluating transfused units of fresh frozen plasma and frozen plasma (collectively known as plasma), given between January and September 2017 at the two largest tertiary care hospitals in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan - Royal University Hospital (RUH) and St. Paul's Hospital (SPH). Data collected included: patient demographics, indication for plasma transfusion, plasma dose, coagulation parameters pre- and post-transfusion, specialty of ordering physician, location of transfusion, and concurrent vitamin K use. Appropriateness of plasma utilization was judged according to the Ontario Clinical Practice Recommendations for the Use of Frozen Plasma. Appropriate indications for plasma transfusion included: massive hemorrhage, intraoperative coagulopathy during cardiac surgery, and patients with active bleeding or need for invasive procedures with laboratory evidence of coagulopathy (INR [International Normalized Ratio] ≥ 1.5). Inappropriate indications for plasma transfusion included: correction of laboratory evidence of coagulopathy in the absence of bleeding or need for invasive procedures, reversal of warfarin when Prothrombin Complex Concentrate (PCC) was available, reversal of other anticoagulants, and an INR of 1.5 or less or for whom the INR was unknown. Plasma transfusion to patients with INR of 1.5 or less or with an unknown INR was not considered inappropriate in cases of massive hemorrhage. According to the predefined criteria, each plasma transfusion during our study period was individually reviewed and classified as appropriate or inappropriate. A total of 270 adult and pediatric patients received plasma transfusion during our study period. Patients receiving plasma for therapeutic plasma exchange were excluded. Final analysis included 244 patients, representing 392 transfusion events and 891 units of plasma. Among adult patients at RUH and SPH, 50.5% of plasma transfusions were judged to be inappropriate. The most common inappropriate indication in adult patients (26.5%) was plasma transfusion to patients with an INR of 1.5 or less, or for whom INR was not measured (6.3%). Despite availability of PCC, 5% of plasma orders for adults were for the reversal of warfarin. The average plasma dose ordered for adults was 2 units per transfusion event, which is unlikely to be an appropriate dose for an average sized adult. In adult patients, transfusion of plasma was requested primarily by: critical care physicians (28.6%), cardiac surgeons (16.0%), and general internists (15.3%). Among pediatric patients at RUH, 79.8% of plasma transfusions were judged to be inappropriate, with the most common inappropriate request in pediatric patients (38.5%) cited as hemodynamic support without coagulopathy or massive hemorrhage. Our study demonstrated that the rate of inappropriate plasma transfusion at two major Saskatoon urban hospital sites was similar to that recently published in Ontario. It is reassuring that plasma transfusion for warfarin reversal was found to be only 5%, suggesting broad awareness of PCC availability. Plasma transfused to adults was found to frequently be under-dosed, suggesting patients are being exposed to the potential risks of plasma transfusion with limited clinical benefit. These results highlight plasma transfusion utilization and appropriateness as an area of educational need among both adult and pediatric clinicians. Implementation of strategies including local clinical practice guidelines for plasma transfusion, plasma order screening by the transfusion medicine laboratory, or a plasma transfusion order set may optimize plasma utilization and enhance patient safety by reducing unnecessary patient exposure to plasma transfusion.
