Resumen

DISCUSSION Historically known as scurvy, Vitamin C deficiency is a rare disorder in developed countries that can lead to bleeding diathesis. A recognized increase in the number of patients found to have Vitamin C deficiency at Kingston Health Sciences Centre (KHSC) prompted a need to re-evaluate the prevalence, predisposing factors, and management of this nutritional deficiency. We conducted a retrospective chart review of patients evaluated by the Hematology service at KHSC between March 2017 and June 2023 who were found to be Vitamin C deficient, defined as a Vitamin C level <25 μmol/L. Twenty-three patients were identified. Data collected included patient demographics, socioeconomic status, co-morbidities, clinical presentation, concurrent hematologic abnormalities, and treatment strategies. Twenty-three patients with Vitamin C deficiency were evaluated by Hematology at KHSC between March 2017 and June 2023. Almost half (43.5%, n=10) of patients were first assessed in the General Hematology clinic, while 30.4% (n=7) were seen by the inpatient Hematology consult service and 26.1% (n=6) were first seen in the Bleeding Disorders clinic. Most patients (65.2%, n=15) were assigned male sex at birth. All adult age ranges were represented: 30.4% (n=7) were younger than 40, 56.5% (n=13) were ages 40 through 65, and 13.0% (n=3) were older than 65. Four (17.4%) patients had previously undergone weight loss surgery, while five (21.7%) had Type 2 diabetes mellitus. Close to half (43.7%, n=10) of patients were taking a proton pump inhibitor daily, while 78.3% (n=18) were taking nutritional supplements other than Vitamin C. Over one quarter (26.2%, n=6) of patients reported significant alcohol use, defined as greater than or equal to 10 drinks per week on average. The majority (69.6%, n=16) of individuals used recreational substances daily, including cigarettes, alcohol, or marijuana. The primary source of income for 30.4% (n=7) of individuals was government-funded income support, while 30.4% (n=7) were retired and 26.1% (n=6) were actively employed. The most common reasons for referral to Hematology was assessment for bleeding disorders (43.5%, n=10) and cytopenia(s) (43.5%, n=10), followed by splenomegaly (n=1), pulmonary embolism (n=1), and macrocytosis (n=1). Seven patients (30.4%) experienced major bleeding, defined as bleeding that required hospitalization or guideline-directed transfusion of red blood cells. Common symptoms at presentation included menorrhagia (42.9% of female patients, n=3), gingival bleeding (34.8%, n=8), hematoma (30.4%, n=7), epistaxis (30.4%, n=7), subjective easy ecchymosis (30.4%, n=7), and subjective delayed wound healing (26.1%, n=6). A Vitamin C level ($20.50 CAD per test at KHSC) was ordered on the first assessment by Hematology in 73.7% (n=14) of patients. The Vitamin C level was undetectable (<5 μmol/L) in 47.8% (n=11) of patients. The mean Vitamin C level among patients in which it was detectable was 13.5 μmol/L. Vitamin C levels were repeated in four patients and remained low in one. Studies for von Willebrand Disease ($268.76 CAD per patient at KHSC) were obtained in 43.5% (n=10) of patients; one of these patients was diagnosed with acquired von Willebrand disease. Nearly one third (30.4%, n=7) of patients were also Vitamin B12 deficient, while 39.1% (n=9) were iron deficient and 13.0% (n=3) were Vitamin D deficient. The mean hemoglobin when first assessed by Hematology was 126 g/L among females and 117 g/L among males. Three patients (13.0%) were treated with intravenous Vitamin C; the remainder were treated with oral Vitamin C supplementation or dietary modifications. Ten patients (43.5%) were referred to a dietician as part of their treatment plan. Three patients (13.0%) were prescribed tranexamic acid for bleeding symptoms. Despite its perceived rarity in modern times, Vitamin C deficiency has contributed to a variety of presentations of bleeding diathesis encountered by Hematologists in Kingston, Ontario in recent years. Thus, detailed dietary and social histories, with consequent consideration of Vitamin C status, should be undertaken in the assessment of undifferentiated bleeding disorders. Increased awareness of the prevalence and presentation of Vitamin C deficiency could facilitate earlier diagnosis and appropriate management, including a decrease in costly testing for other bleeding disorders.

Resumen

Objective:To examine factors associated with visual impairment (VI) and eye care in the International Mobility in Aging Study (IMIAS). Method: IMIAS data were analyzed ( N = 1,995 with ages 65-74). Outcomes were VI defined as presenting visual acuity worse than 6/18 in the better eye and eye care utilization assessed by annual visits to eye care professionals. The Hurt–Insult–Threaten–Scream (HITS) questionnaire requested information on domestic violence. Results: Among men, VI varied from 24% in Manizales (Colombia) to 0.5% in Kingston (Canada); among women, VI ranged from 20% in Manizales to 1% in Kingston; lifetime exposure to domestic violence was associated with VI (odds ratio [OR] = 1.87; 95% confidence interval [CI] = [1.17, 3.00]). Eye care utilization varied from 72% in Kingston’s men to 25% in Tirana’s men; it was associated with domestic violence (prevalence ratio [PR] = 1.3; 95% CI = [1.1, 1.6]). Discussion: VI is more frequent where eye care utilization is low. Domestic violence may be a risk factor for VI.

Resumen

ABSTRACTBackground:The aim of this study was to examine the efficiency of the mini-Kingston standardized cognitive assessment-revised (mini-KSCAr) in classifying patients according to DSM-5 major and mild neurocognitive disorders (NCD) due to possible Alzheimer's disease (AD).Methods:Files of 85 individuals who were tested on the Kingston standardized cognitive assessment-revised were reviewed and scores were calculated for the mini-KSCAr. Medical history, psychiatric and physical status, basic and instrumental activities of daily living, as well as scores on the Cambridge cognitive examination-revised (CAMCOG-R), and the clinical dementia rating (CDR) scale were used to establish DSM-5 diagnoses of major or mild neurocognitive disorders (NCD) due to possible AD or no cognitive decline. All participants were tested on the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and the clock drawing test (CDT), and a subset (N = 28) were also tested on three well-known memory tasks.Results:Scores on the MMSE, CDT, and mini-KSCAr differed across groups, but only the mini-KSCAr significantly distinguished each group from the other two. The mini-KSCAr showed better sensitivity, specificity, and likelihood ratios (LRs) than did the MMSE and the CDT. A regression analysis revealed that the mini-KSCAr accounted for almost half of the variance in memory performance, whereas the MMSE and the CDT contributed nothing to this prediction once the mini-KSCAr was used.Conclusions:The mini-KSCAr is an efficient instrument for the diagnosis of DSM-5 major and mild NCD due to possible AD in a specialized psychogeriatric setting, and its utility is greater than that of the MMSE and the CDT.

Resumen

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to report on the introduction of individual personal budgets for older people and people with mental health problems in one local authority (LA) in 2011. Design/methodology/approach – Jenny Weinstein is a Hon Senior Lecturer at Kingston University, Professor Ray Jones and Rick Hood are based at the Joint Faculty of Health and Social Care, St George's, University of London and Kingston University, London, UK.A qualitative study is described in which structured interviews were carried out with participants belonging to each service user group. The study aimed to explore the following issues: first, service users’ experiences of the assessment process, second, whether service users wanted full control of their budgets and third, if personal budgets make a difference to quality of life. Findings – xService users (n=7 older people and carers; n=7 people with mental health problems) found the personal budgets system and assessment process difficult to understand and its administration complex. Older people in particular were reluctant to assume full control and responsibility for managing their own personal budget in the form of a Direct Payment. Participants in both groups reported their continued reliance on traditional home care or day care services. These findings were reported back to the LA to help staff review the implementation of personal budgets for these two user groups. Research limitations/implications – Study participant numbers are low due to difficulties recruiting. Several potential participants were not interviewed due to their frailty. Practical implications – Studies of this type are important for constructing local knowledge about national policies such as the implementation of personal budgets in social care. Originality/value – Studies of this type are important for constructing local knowledge about national policies such as the implementation of personal budgets in social care.

This study was carried out in selected poultry farms to determine the prevalence, distribution and antimicrobial resistance patterns in Salmonella serovars in Ogun State, South-western Nigeria. A total of 200 faecal samples were aseptically collected from the four geographical zones of Ogun State, Nigeria. Seventy-eight Salmonella isolates spread across 39 serovars and representing a prevalence of 39% was recovered. Salmonella Urbana (n=7), Salmonella Kingston (n=6) and Salmonella Agama (n=5) serovars were more commonly isolated. Resistance was most common to ciprofloxacin (29.5%; n=23/78). Multi-drug resistance (MDR) was observed in 15.4% (n=12/78) of the isolates spread across 7 serovars: S. Kentucky, S. Telelkebir, S. Virchow, S. Blockley, S. Chomedey, S. Haifa, and S. Isangi. The study showed the diversity of Salmonella serovars and the increasing trend of antimicrobial resistance in poultry farms in Ogun State, Southwestern Nigeria.

Resumen

Introduction A health and lifestyle advisor service embedded within primary care was piloted in Kingston-upon-Hull from January 2021. We aimed to evaluate the first two years of service delivery by identifying patient demographics referred to the service, reason for referral, determine uptake and retention rates, and monitor individual lifestyle-related risk factor changes following discharge. Methods Anonymised data were extracted from the SystmOne database for all patients referred to the service between January 2021 and January 2023. Results In the initial two years of the service, 705 unique patients were referred at a mean rate of ∼29 per month. Each unique patient received a median (robust median absolute deviation; [MAD]) of 3 (Steel N, et al 2018) planned consultations prior to discharge over this period. The majority of referrals were for symptom management and health promotion purposes (95%). Of those referred, 69% attended their appointments, and 14% did not attend. The majority of referrals were white British (55%), however, the service did receive a substantial number of referrals from minority ethnic groups, with only 67% of referrals speaking English as their main language. Eighteen distinct languages were spoken. Most referrals were classified as class I obese (59.4%). Across initial and final appointments, median (robust MAD) systolic blood pressure was 130 (15) mmHg and 130 (15) mmHg, and median (robust MAD) waist circumference was 103.0 (13.3) cm and 101.0 (13.3) cm. Conclusion The evaluation highlighted the demand for this service embedded within primary care settings in Kingston-upon-Hull. Service engagement was evident, and a large proportion of those who engaged were from minority ethnic groups. A high proportion of referrals presented with obesity and/or hypertension which requires further investigation.

Resumen

This historical cohort study investigated whether dimensions of the expanded Health Belief Model (HBM), the theoretical framework most applicable to the Women's Center Jamaica Foundation (WCJF) Program for Adolescent Mothers, can be applied to predict the occurrence of repeat pregnancies among teen mothers. A random sample ( n = 260) of primiparous Jamaican adolescent mothers 16 years and under who gave birth in 1994 in the parishes of Kingston & St. Andrew, St. Catherine, and Manchester was selected from vital records and interviewed in 1998 for this study. Multivariate analyses indicated that in addition to WCJF program participation, perceived severity, perceived susceptibility, and perceived benefits were significant ( p < .05) independent predictors of repeat pregnancy. We recommend the HBM as a useful tool to identify participants who are more likely to experience one or more repeat pregnancies.

Resumen

Various occupational groups are often viewed as having a set of distinctive personality characteristics. The purpose of this study was to examine the personality traits of five subject groups: occupational therapy students in first, second, third and fourth years (N = 60) at the School of Rehabilitation Therapy at Queen 's University, and practicing occupational therapy clinicians from the Kingston area (N = 22). The Personality Research Form—E (PRF-E) was used to collect the data. As a combined group, students and clinicians were not distinguishable from the general population in terms of personality. For students notable correlation scores (p .01) between the year of study and the obtained PRF-E scores were observed on two scales: endurance (r = −0.31) and nurturance (r = −0.41). Analysis of variance indicated statistically significant differences (p .01 and p .05) between fourth year students and clinicians on certain personality variables. Fourth year students scored higher on the abasement, affiliation, change, nurturance, play and social recognition scales. Clinicians obtained higher scores for endurance and harm avoidance.

Resumen

Background: Opiate and benzodiazepine use is associated with increased mortality and poorer transplant outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Objective: To determine the predictors of opiate and benzodiazepine prescription in people with kidney disease. Design: Cross-sectional, observational study. Setting: Outpatient clinics at Kingston Health Sciences Centre or at affiliated sites as of June 2017. Patients: Individuals with CKD being treated at clinics or with various dialysis modalities at Kingston Health Sciences Centre and affiliated sites. Measurements: The total number of regular opioid and benzodiazepine prescriptions was recorded for each patient. Patients were stratified based on clinical (eg, dialysis modality) and demographic (sex, age, diabetes mellitus [DM], ethnicity) characteristics, as elicited below. Methods: We evaluated opiate and benzodiazepine use by chart review in the following patient groups: conventional hemodialysis (HD) (n = 359), home hemodialysis (HHD) (n = 21), peritoneal dialysis (PD) (n = 95), patients attending the multidisciplinary chronic kidney disease clinic (MCKDC) (n = 322), and kidney transplant (KT) recipients (n = 176). Opiates and benzodiazepines were classified according to the American Hospital Formulary Service system. Patients were also stratified as white (n = 855), indigenous (n = 66), or all others (n = 48). Results: The mean age was 66.2 ± 14.9 years, 602 (61.9%) were men, and 439 (45.1%) had DM. Opiates were prescribed to 223 patients (22.9%), most frequently to HD (32.3%), followed by MCKDC (20.8%), HHD (19.0%), PD (14.7%), and KT (12.5%) ( P < .001). The independent predictors of opiate prescription included DM (odds ratio [OR], 1.9; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.4-2.6; P < 0.001), conventional HD (vs all other treatment modalities) (OR, 1.8; 95% CI, 1.3-2.5; P < .001), and female sex (OR, 1.4; 95% CI, 1.0-1.9; P = .041) after adjustment for age and ethnicity ( R2 = 0.037, P < .001). Benzodiazepines were prescribed to 106 patients (10.9%), most frequently to HD (15.9%), followed by HHD (9.5%), KT (9.1%), MCKDC (7.5%), and PD (7.4%) ( P = .005). The independent predictors of benzodiazepine use included female sex (OR, 2.3; 95% CI, 1.5-3.4; P < .001) and dialysis modality (excluding MCKDC and KT) (OR, 1.8; 95% CI, 1.2-2.8; P = .006) after adjustment for ethnicity, DM, and age ( R2 = 0.027, P < .001). Limitations: We were not able to ascertain the indication for prescription of these drugs or patient adherence. Conclusions: Women with kidney disease are significantly more likely to be prescribed opiates and benzodiazepines than men with kidney disease. Further research is required to determine whether these medications contribute to increased morbidity and mortality in women with kidney disease. Trial Registration: This manuscript does not meet the criteria for requiring registration or a statement of written consent from study participants. The previous submission of this manuscript already made mention of Research Ethics Board approval.

Resumen

Purpose: Postcancer cognitive impairment (PCCI) and fatigue are adverse effects that often persist following cancer treatment, and impact quality of life. The study purpose was to evaluate feasibility and effect of neurofeedback on cognitive functioning and fatigue in cancer survivors. Specifically, we aimed to test feasibility of recruitment strategies and our study protocol including outcome measures. Design: This pilot feasibility study used a 10-week wait-list design. Participants served as their own controls and received neurofeedback training twice a week for 10 weeks. Participants: The sample consisted of breast cancer survivors from Kingston, Ontario (n=16). Methods: Outcomes were assessed using validated, self-report scales at three time periods: before, during, and after neurofeedback. Findings: The neurofeedback protocol was feasible and resulted in significant decreases in perceived cognitive deficits, fatigue, sleep, and psychological symptoms. Implications for Psychosocial Providers: Neurofeedback may be an effective, non-invasive complementary therapy for PCCI in breast cancer survivors.

Resumen

Economic and environmental concerns over nitrogen (N) fertilization of turfgrasses are prompting serious considerations of how to best use various N pools in turf-soil ecosystems. Nitrogen in clippings is receiving special consideration but information on how large and variable this N source might be for different turfgrasses is limited. Therefore, a field study investigated growth of and N recovery in clippings from 10 cultivars each of kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.), perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.), and tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) turf at the University of Rhode Island Turfgrass Research Station, Kingston, during 1990 and 1991 growing seasons. All turf had been established in 1985, 1986 or 1987 on an Enfield silt loam (Coarse loamy over sandy skeletal, mixed, mesic, Typic Dystrochrepts) and maintained under N fertilization rate of 147 kg N ha/year. Daily clipping growth rate (DCG), leaf blade N concentration (NC), and daily N recovery rate (DNR) in clippings were compared across species and cultivars. Seasonal clipping yields ranged from 5152 kg dry weight/ha for tall fescue to 3680 kg·ha–1 for perennial ryegrass. Significant species differences in the amount and seasonal pattern of N recovery were identified. Cultivar differences in N recovery were greatest for kentucky bluegrass but much less for perennial ryegrass and tall fescue. Total N recovery in clippings ranged from 260 to 111 kg N/ha/year generally exceeded N supplied as fertilizer, thus emphasizing potential importance of clipping N in turf management.

Resumen

Thirteen adult Raccoons (Procyon lotor) (six females, seven males) that fed at a garbage dump north of Kingston, Ontario were radio-tracked from 21 June to 16 October 1995 to assess their seasonal home ranges and movements. Average Minimum Convex Polygon (MCP) summer and fall home ranges for the collared Raccoons were 78.4 ha (SD=46.2 ha) and 45.6 ha (SD=29.7 ha), respectively. Average grid cell summer and fall home ranges for the collared Raccoons were 143.3 ha (SD=40.0 ha) and 116.9 ha (SD=24.9 ha), respectively. Summer ranges of the Raccoons were significantly larger than fall ranges using both the MCP method (P=0.05) and the grid cell method (P=0.073). Yearling Raccoons travelled an average summer maximum distance from the dump of 2608 m (SD=1964, n=3), more than double the distance of adults (≥2 yr) at 1239 m (SD=547, n=10). The population density for the study area in late August 1995 was estimated at 1 Raccoon/12 ha based on an effective area surrounding the dump of 234 ha. Home range and movement data may be useful to design a strategy to control Raccoon rabies in Ontario.

AbstractObjective:To determine the nutritional status of a cohort of 11–12 year olds and ascertain social and demographic factors associated with under- and overweight in early adolescence.Design:Cross-sectional.Subjects:Subgroup (n=1698) of the birth cohort (September–October 1986) of the Jamaican Perinatal Survey enrolled in schools in the Kingston Metropolitan area. One thousand and sixty-three parents or caregivers provided social and demographic information.Results:Undernutrition and overnutrition are of public health significance among adolescent Jamaican children. Ten per cent of 11–12 year olds had body mass index (BMI) values below the 5th percentile (boys, 10.6%; girls, 7.1%) but this prevalence is relatively low compared with other developing countries. The prevalence of stunting was low (3%). The prevalence of overweight (BMI≥85th percentile) (19.3%) was approaching prevalence rates found in the USA. Similar social and demographic variables were associated with thinness and fatness in males. Birth weight predicted overweight in girls.Conclusions:Under- and overnutrition in early adolescence are important problems in Jamaica. There is a need to address both under- and overnutrition in adolescence in preventive and rehabilitative intervention programmes.

Resumen

ABSTRACTThis study investigates the level of helminthic infestation in better-cared-for dogs in a middle-class community in suburban Kingston. A canine zoographic study was conducted, and fresh faecal deposits were collected and analysed for helminth life-cycle stages. The survey indicated that 73% (n=93) of households in the study area owned one dog or more (mean=1·4). Resident's attitudes towards canine management suggested that the dog population was, in general, restricted to the residential estate, and most owners claimed to have dewormed their dogs at least as young animals. Of 141 faecal specimens, 58% contained eggs or larvae of one or more of eight helminths: Uncinaria stenocephala (26%), Ancylostoma sp. (23%), Trichuris vulpis (9%), Toxocara canis (8%), Spirocerca lupi (6%), Strongyloides sp. (6%), Apophallus sp. (4%) and taeniids (1%). There was a high level of multiple infection in the host animals, with approximately one fifth of the infected samples containing three or more helminth types. Infection intensity was apparently low, but some dogs harboured heavy worm loads.

Resumen

The COVID-19 pandemic has been associated with unprecedented changes to societal structure. School closures, unstable employment, and inaccessible health services have caused enormous disruptions to child and family wellbeing. This study identifies major themes illustrating how child and family wellness were impacted by COVID-19, including unique effects experienced by Indigenous families. In-depth interviews were conducted with key informants (n = 31) recruited from organizations providing healthcare and social services in Kingston, Ontario. Interview transcripts and written survey responses were analyzed using a phenomenological approach to explore themes related to child and family wellbeing. Three major themes identified include school closures, home safety, and outdoor spaces. School closures were generally reported as negatively impacting learning and social development; however, school closures allowed for some Indigenous children to be removed from a colonized education system, contributing to cultural and spiritual growth. Second, respondents reported increased severity and frequency of domestic violence, which negatively impacted child wellbeing. Third, the closure of public outdoor spaces created barriers to maintaining good physical health for children. This study recommends the prioritization of (1) child learning and development by avoiding school closures in pandemic settings and (2) the safety of Indigenous students by decolonizing education. To address the increased exposure to adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) during COVID-19, we recommend improved training for identifying and reporting domestic violence amongst service providers. Our study also reflects the broader need to redefine “essential services”, considering culturally specific services for Indigenous Peoples.

Resumen

Abstract Introduction Our group and others have reported the murine SHIP1-deficient mouse model of MDS/CMML is characterized by expansion of immunosuppressive, arginase 1 (Arg1)-positive M2-macrophages and myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) (Rauh et al., Immunity, 2005). Moreover, translational studies confirmed increased Arg1 in bone marrow aspirate cells of subsets of MDS and CMML patients (Rauh et al., Blood Abstract 2010: 1855), although involving impractical Arg1 enzymatic assays and Western blots. Herein, our goals were to 1) confirm this Arg1 immune signature in an independent cohort of patients, using more clinically applicable immunohistochemistry (IHC), 2) determine the associated risk profile with recent prognostic scoring systems, and 3) begin to connect this Arg1 immune signature with recurring MDS/CMML-acquired mutations. Methods With ethics approval, 29 BM biopsies (decalcified, FFPE) and clinical parameters were retrieved from the archives of Kingston General Hospital: 6 controls (4 negative lymphoma staging BM and 2 mild anemia NYD; mean age +/- std = 57 +/- 13 y), 13 MDS (1 RA, 1 RARS, 1 del(5q), 5 RCMD, 3 RAEB-1, 2 RAEB-2; 76 +/- 14 y), and 10 CMML patients (7 CMML-1, 3 CMML-2; 72 +/- 10 y). H&E and anti-human Arg1 IHC (1/2500 dilution, clone HPA003595, Sigma) were conducted under optimized, automated conditions (Ventana). IHC scoring was recorded independently by 2 blinded Hematopathologists. IPSS, IPSS-R (Greenberg), WPSS (Malcovati), CMML PSS (Such) and Mayo CMML (Patnaik) scores were calculated. Floxed TET2 and Vav-Cre mice were obtained from JAX and used according to approved Queen's University Animal Care protocols. TET2 sequences were obtained from genomic DNA using custom AmpliSeq primer pools and the Ion Torrent PGM platform (LifeTech). Linear regression and student's t-tests were conducted with Prism software (GraphPad). Results 1) We demonstrated increased BM biopsy Arg1 IHC expression in CMML (22 +/- 17% Arg1-positive cells; n = 10; p = 0.0093) and low-grade MDS, particularly RCMD (14 +/- 11%; n = 5; p = 0.012) relative to control subjects (0.4 +/- 1%; n = 6) (Figure 1). Significantly increased mean Arg1 expression was not seen in other MDS subtypes (n = 8). These findings were consistent with our previously reported 40-subject (Toronto) BM aspirate Arg1 assay/Western blot cohort (Rauh et al. Blood Abstract 2010:1855), suggesting the reproducibility of these findings and the clinical utility of IHC-based assessment. Parallel Arg1 IHC is underway on the Toronto cohort, to determine correlations with enzymatic assays/Westerns. 2) We previously reported Arg1 over-expression in the Toronto cohort was significantly associated with the lowest IPSS and WPSS MDS clinical risk categories and now extend this to IPSS-R. In our Kingston cohort, only trends to lower MDS risk were observed. In contrast, increased Arg1 expression was not associated with clinical risk (CPSS and Mayo scores) in either CMML cohort. Thus, Arg1 expression associated with neutral risk in CMML and neutral to lower risk in MDS patients. Both the clinical risk profiles and proportions of Arg1 over-expressing MDS/CMML patients were reminiscent of reported TET2 mutation risk profiles/percentages. 3) TET2-deficient mice demonstrated increased monocytes, macrophages and CD11b+Gr1+ splenocytes (immuno-phenotypically consistent with MDSC), phenocopying SHIP1-deficient mice. We are currently determining whether TET2-/- mouse macrophages are similarly M2-skewed. In parallel, were are obtaining TET2 genomic sequences (along with other recurring mutated genes) for our Toronto and Kingston cohorts, in order to determine if the Arg1 immune signature associates with a particular mutation(s). These findings will be discussed. Conclusions 1) Using two independent patient cohorts, we demonstrated significant Arg1 over-expression in CMML and low-grade (RCMD) MDS. Arg1 IHC warrants further investigation as an ancillary diagnostic test. 2) Increased Arg1 expression had neutral prognostic significance in CMML and neutral to low-risk MDS associations. 3) Increased Arg1 expression in MDS/CMML may be driven by mutant TET2, impacting the epigenetics of MDSC and M2-macrophage expansion, controlled by SHIP1 and related signaling networks. Confirmatory studies are in progress. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Resumen

AbstractPigment gallstones are a common clinical complication of sickle cell (SS) disease. Genetic variation in the promoter of uridine diphosphate (UDP)–glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1) underlies Gilbert syndrome, a chronic form of unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia, and appears to be a risk factor for gallstone formation. We investigated the association between UGT1A1 (TA)n genotype, hyperbilirubinemia, and gallstones in a sample of Jamaicans with SS disease. Subjects were from the Jamaican Sickle Cell Cohort Study (cohort sample, n = 209) and the Sickle Cell Clinic at the University of the West Indies, Kingston, Jamaica (clinic sample, n = 357). The UGT1A1 (TA)n promoter region was sequenced in 541 SS disease subjects and 111 healthy controls (control sample). Indirect bilirubin levels for (TA)7/(TA)7 and (TA)7/(TA)8 genotypes were elevated compared with (TA)6/(TA)6 (clinic sample, P < 10–5; cohort sample, P < 10–3). The (TA)7/(TA)7 genotype was also associated with symptomatic presentation and gallstones in the clinic sample (odds ratio [OR] = 11.3; P = 7.0 × 10–4) but not in the younger cohort sample. These unexpected findings indicate that the temporal evolution of symptomatic gallstones may involve factors other than the bilirubin level. Although further studies of the pathogenesis of gallstones in SS disease are required, the (TA)7/(TA)7 genotype may be a risk factor for symptomatic gallstones in older people with SS disease.

Resumen

Objective. To examine the effect of acute and short-term (~1 week) aerobic exercise training on plasma adiponectin levels in inactive, abdominally obese men.Materials and Methods. Inactive and abdominally obese men (n=38, waist circumference ≥102 cm) recruited from Kingston, Canada were randomly allocated to perform three bouts of aerobic treadmill exercise at either low (50% VO2peak) or high (75% VO2peak) intensity during a 1-week period. Blood samples were taken before and after the first exercise session and 24–72 hours following the completion of the final exercise session.Results. Adiponectin levels were elevated immediately following an acute bout of exercise at both high and low intensities (High:5.79±0.42versus5.05±0.41 ug/mL; Low:5.24±0.44versus4.37±0.44 ug/mL,P<0.05) and remained elevated following 30 minutes of rest. In comparison to baseline, adiponectin levels were also elevated 24–72 hours following the final exercise session (High:5.47±0.48versus4.88±0.48 ug/mL; Low:5.18±0.49versus4.47±0.49 ug/mL,P<0.05).Conclusion. Both acute and short-term aerobic exercise result in a significant increase in plasma adiponectin levels in inactive, abdominally obese men independent of intensity.

Resumen

Objective To determine the association of preeclampsia (PE) with the presence of cardiovascular risk (CVR) factors at approximately 11 years postpartum and to assess the longer term effect of PE on childhood development. Study Design A mail-out survey was sent to all women who were previously recruited into the Kingston arm of the Pre-Eclampsia New Emerging Team's prospective cohort (n = 112 PE and n = 150 control). Physical and biochemical CVR markers were compared between the two groups. Physical, social, and cognitive development of the children involved in the pregnancies was evaluated using the Vineland-3 Domain-Level Parent/Caregiver Form. Results Thirteen PE women and 28 control women returned the study questionnaire. Based on the 2017 American Heart Association High Blood Pressure Clinical Practice Guidelines, 9/13 (69.2%) of the PE women, compared with 6/28 (21.4%) of the control women, have hypertension (p < 0.01). The median percentile rank for overall adaptive functioning was 58 (interquartile range [IQR: 21–73]) in the PE children and 81 (IQR: 61–94) in the control children (p < 0.05). Conclusion The development of PE leads to longer term changes in CVR markers and in childhood development at approximately 11 years postpartum. Pregnancy and the postpartum provide an early window of opportunity for early maternal and child screening and intervention for health preservation and disease prevention.

Resumen

BackgroundThere is an urgent need for effective, affordable interventions to prevent child mental health problems in low- and middle-income countries.AimsTo determine the effects of a universal pre-school-based intervention on child conduct problems and social skills at school and at home.MethodIn a cluster randomised design, 24 community pre-schools in inner-city areas of Kingston, Jamaica, were randomly assigned to receive the Incredible Years Teacher Training intervention (n = 12) or to a control group (n = 12). Three children from each class with the highest levels of teacher-reported conduct problems were selected for evaluation, giving 225 children aged 3–6 years. The primary outcome was observed child behaviour at school. Secondary outcomes were child behaviour by parent and teacher report, child attendance and parents' attitude to school. The study is registered as ISRCTN35476268.ResultsChildren in intervention schools showed significantly reduced conduct problems (effect size (ES) = 0.42) and increased friendship skills (ES = 0.74) through observation, significant reductions to teacher-reported (ES = 0.47) and parent-reported (ES = 0.22) behaviour difficulties and increases in teacher-reported social skills (ES = 0.59) and child attendance (ES = 0.30). Benefits to parents' attitude to school were not significant.ConclusionsA low-cost, school-based intervention in a middle-income country substantially reduces child conduct problems and increases child social skills at home and at school.

Resumen

ObjectivesTo assess potentially missed sexually transmitted infections (STIs), we compared clinically diagnosed STIs to laboratory-confirmed diagnoses of gonorrhoea (GC), chlamydia (CT) and trichomonas (Tvag).DesignSecondary analysis of a randomised controlled trial.SettingWe used data and specimens previously collected for the Sino-Implant Study in Kingston, Jamaica.ParticipantsThe Sino-Implant Study randomised 414 women to receive a levonorgestrel implant at either baseline or 3 months post-enrolment to evaluate unprotected sex after implant initiation. This analysis used 254 available vaginal swab samples.Outcome measuresClinically diagnosed STIs were determined from medical records by assessing clinical impressions and prescriptions. Laboratory-confirmed STIs included GC, CT and Tvag tested by Aptima Combo 2 for CT/GC and Aptima Tvag assays (Hologic, San Diego, California, USA). Log-binomial regression models fit with generalised estimating equations were used to estimate associations of clinically diagnosed STIs with laboratory-confirmed diagnoses and demographic and behavioural characteristics.ResultsOverall, 195 (76.8%) women had laboratory-confirmed STI (CT, GC or Tvag) while only 65 (25.6%) women had clinically diagnosed cervicitis and/or vaginitis during the study period. Clinical diagnosis missed 79.7% of laboratory-confirmed STIs: 85% of GC (n=17/20), 78.8% of CT (n=141/179) and 80.0% of Tvag (n=180/225). Hormonal contraceptive use in the month prior to the study visit was significantly associated with clinical diagnosis at any time point (prevalence ratio (PR): 1.65, 95% CI 1.07 to 2.54). As age increased, clinically missed infections significantly decreased (PR: 0.98 per year increase, 95% CI 0.97 to 1.00).ConclusionsThe prevalence of laboratory-confirmed STIs was much higher than what was captured by clinical diagnosis. GC, CT and Tvag were not accurately detected without lab confirmation. Missed diagnoses decreased with older age. Increased laboratory capacity and refinement of the syndromic approach are needed to protect the health of sexually active Jamaican women.Trial registration numberNCT01684358.

Resumen

Background:Domestic violence (DV) is recognized as a priority in maternity care. Data on the prevalence and profile of women experiencing DV during pregnancy are limited in Jamaica. This baseline study has identified the prevalence and provided a profile of pregnant women who are at risk for DV in Kingston, Jamaica.Method:A descriptive cross-sectional study was done in 2014. A total of 185 randomly selected pregnant women attending the antenatal clinic completed a self-administered questionnaire. The data were analyzed using SPSS. The study was approved by our local ethical boards and all ethical considerations were adhered to.Results:The study identified a prevalence rate of 41% (n= 75/182) which includes all types of DV during pregnancy. Those at risk were 23–29 years old, single (66.6%), employed (44%), had primary education (66.6%), and had unplanned pregnancies (65%). The majority of respondents (98%) were willing to disclose DV, but the clinic does not provide them the opportunity. Only 11% (8/75) reported that they sought professional help.Conclusion:This study adds to the body of knowledge on the prevalence of DV and notes that it is high among pregnant women attending the antenatal clinic. The findings can guide the development of a DV screening protocol to identify and treat pregnant women and train health practitioners in Jamaica.

Resumen

Disaster risk reduction (DRR) is key in strengthening resilience and achievement of sustainable development. The private sector is co-responsible for DRR: it is a generator of risks, and a subject exposed to risks. There are competing narratives in the literature regarding the relationship between business’ disaster experience and DRR. The current study defined and characterized businesses in the Americas, with a particular interest in small and medium enterprises, and examined whether disaster experience predicts DRR, considering business size. Secondary data analyses were conducted using data from a previous study on private sector participation in DRR conducted in six Western Hemisphere cities (N=1162): Bogotá, Colombia; Kingston, Jamaica; Miami, USA; San José, Costa Rica; Santiago, Chile; and Vancouver, Canada. Results confirmed that business size matters – small businesses had lower levels of DRR efforts compared to medium and large businesses. Disaster experience (i.e., supply chain disruption, loss of telecommunications, power outage, and damaged facilities) predicted DRR. The findings underscore the importance of fostering, advising, and financing small and medium enterprises to proactively develop capabilities in the line of risk and emergency management, and early resumption of operations, post-disasters. Governing agencies and civil society organizations have the ability to provide this support.

Resumen

Abstract Introduction Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder that affects more than 220 million people worldwide.1 The prevalence of type 2 diabetes is on the rise, leading to higher levels of morbidity, workload, and cost for the National Health Service (NHS).2 In addition, the long-term complications of diabetes can also contribute to higher levels of morbidity and workload for General Practice. Community pharmacists have clinical knowledge which is being utilised to provide a range of services to patients living with long term conditions.3 These include the New Medicines Service (NMS) and the Community Pharmacist Consultation Service (CPCS) that can both support those living with diabetes by helping patients to understand their condition and use their medication correctly, reducing the need for a General Practitioner (GP) appointment. The role of the pharmacist in community pharmacy diabetes management currently has limited research. Aim The aim of the study was to explore the role of community pharmacy in helping diabetic patients and thereby decrease the workload of the GP. Methods This study targeted community pharmacies in Croydon (n=77) and Kingston Upon Thames (n=34) in greater London, aiming for one response per pharmacy. A survey consisting of 29 questions was crated with a mixture of tick box and free text questions. Community pharmacies were visited in both boroughs, and surveys were distributed and collected. After data collection, quantitative analysis was completed through SPSS and qualitative analysis was using thematic analysis. Ethical approval was granted by Kingston University. Results In total, 65 responses were received (59% response rate). Diabetes was found to be the long-term condition that had the greatest number of referrals to the GP (n=30/65; 46%). Referrals were mainly in response to recurrent infections and over the counter sales linked to eyes and feet. Community pharmacies provided an average of 3 advanced services, including NMS (n=63/65; 97%), CPCS (n=61/65; 94%), flu vaccinations (n=59/65; 91%) and hypertension screening (n=24/65; 37%). Some of the key themes when participants were asked about the most common issues identified in an NMS consultation with a diabetic patient, was adherence issues to their medication, lack of knowledge about diabetes and about lifestyle changes, leading to opportunities for community pharmacy-based interventions, and limiting a referral to a GP. Pharmacists felt confident in having intervention conversations and felt knowledgeable about diabetes. Discussion/Conclusion Community pharmacies are an essential part of a patient’s diabetic journey, supporting person centred care. This study outlines and establishes a clear role of how community pharmacies can carry out different services for diabetic patients, be able to identify any diabetic complications in the community setting. NMS and CPCS were found to be beneficial services for diabetic patients unlocking the full potential of a community pharmacist. Although a small study in a limited geography, this study highlights that community pharmacists support diabetic patients to manage their condition, thus reducing referrals to GPs and therefore the GP workload. Future studies can be carried out over a larger area to extrapolate findings. References 1. Ali, M., Schifano, F, Robinson, P, Phillips, G et al.

Resumen

Objectif : La fatigue et les troubles cognitifs qui se manifestent après un cancer sont des effets indésirables qui, souvent, perdurent après les traitements et nuisent à la qualité de vie. L’étude vise à évaluer la faisabilité du neurofeedback et ses effets sur le fonctionnement cognitif et la fatigue des survivants du cancer, particulièrement la faisabilité des stratégies de recrutement, du protocole de recherche et des mesures de résultats. Devis : L’étude pilote de faisabilité est construite selon un devis avec groupe témoin mis sur liste d’attente pendant une période de 10 semaines. Les participantes servaient elles-mêmes de groupe témoin. Elles ont suivi deux séances de neurofeedback par semaine, pendant 10 semaines. Participants : L’échantillon était composé de survivantes du cancer du sein vivant à Kingston, en Ontario (n=16). Méthodologie : Les résultats ont été évalués à l’aide d’échelles d’autoévaluation validées, ainsi que par des tests neurobiologiques avant, pendant et après le traitement par neurofeedback. Résultats : La faisabilité du protocole de neurofeedback a été confirmée : la procédure s’accompagne d’une diminution significative des troubles cognitifs, de la fatigue, des troubles du sommeil et des symptômes psychologiques. Implications pour les services psychosociaux : Le neurofeedback pourrait se poser en thérapie complémentaire efficace et non invasive pour traiter les troubles cognitifs qui surviennent chez les survivantes du cancer du sein après les traitements.

Resumen

AbstractThis report of an aircraft crash at a major airport in Kingston, Jamaica examines the response of the local Emergency Medical Services (EMS). Factors that impacted the response are discussed, and the need for more disaster simulation exercises is highlighted. The objective of this case report was to document the response of EMS personnel to the crash of American Airlines Flight 331, and to utilize the information to examine and improve the present protocol.While multiple errors can occur during a mass-casualty event, these can be reduced by frequent simulation exercises during which various personnel practice and learn designated roles. Efficient triage, proper communication, and knowledge of the roles are important in ensuring the best possible outcome. While the triage system and response of the EMS personnel were effective for this magnitude of catastrophe, more work is needed in order to meet predetermined standards. Ways in which this can be overcome include: (1) hosting more disaster simulation exercises; (2) encouraging more involvement with first responders; and (3) strengthening the links in the local EMS system. Vigorous public education must be instituted and maintained.Dasgupta S, French S, Williams-Johnson J, Hutson R, Hart N, Wong M, Williams E, Espinosa K, Maycock C, Edwards R, McCartney T, Cawich S, Crandon I.

Resumen

IntroductionWhile a growing corpus of literature regarding the stress suffered by caretakers for people living with dementia (PLWD) already exists, very little data is available regarding this subject among Romanian caretakers.ObjectivesThis cross-sectional study aims to compensate for this by assessing a small (N=72) sample of caretakers through the use of self-reporting questionnaires for subjective feelings of stress and burden.MethodsResponders filled and online survey containing miscellaneous socio-demographic questions and the Kingston Caregiver Stress Scale (KCSS) along with the Caregiver Health Assessment Self Questionnaire (CHASQ). Results were collected and analysed in SPSS for subsequent correlations.ResultsThe majority (77%) of caretakers are women and 86% of responders are offering their care at home, emphasizing pervasive gender roles and lack of availability or accessibility of social services for the PLWD in Romanian society. Three thirds of caregivers were children of PLDW. More than half of responders (51%) had KCSS scores that suggested severe stress while less than 9% related only mild stress. Most responders (52%) related social aspects of their lives as most affected by their caregiver status.ConclusionsWhile in line with most other findings and limited in scope and means by its methodology, this study offers a quick snapshot on the subjective levels of stress affecting caretakers of Romanian PLWD and can lead towards further points of inquiry on the matter in the Romanian population.Disclosure of InterestNone Declared

Resumen

Abstract Small-scale egg production is a growing industry in New England; however, foodborne illness risk exists from small-scale free-range eggs due to lack of guidelines for safe handling and management practices. We hypothesized that the manure level (ML) of the eggs along with management practices will affect both the total bacterial levels (relative light units= RLU) and the cuticle deposition (CD) of the eggshell. Hens (n = 53) were used in this study and housed at Peckham Farm (URI; Kingston, RI) in a mobile coop that allowed free ranging. The management practice experiments were divided into nest box type, location, substrate and time/frequency of collection. The CD experiments involved nesting boxes and nest substrate. Data were analyzed using SAS proc mixed/two sample t-test (P ≤ 0.05). There is a difference in ML between level 1 and 2 and level 1 and 3 eggs. Eggs collected from the conventional (CONV; n = 37) and rollaway (n = 25) nest boxes showed no difference in RLU or CD (P ≥ 0.42). Eggs collected from CONV with different nesting substrates (straw, shavings, AstroTurf nest pad; n = 179) showed no difference in RLU and CD (P ≥ 0.28). Nest box location (mounted vs floor level) showed no difference (P ≥ 0.65) in RLU values from eggs collected from CONV nest boxes. Time of collection (1pm vs 8 am) had a significant impact (P ≤ 0.02) in RLU values; however, frequency of collection showed no impact (P ≥ 0.49). The bacteria levels were most likely lower in the afternoon collection because the eggs laid that day did not spend as much time in nest boxes. In conclusion, although different nest boxes or substrates did not change eggshell bacteria levels, management practices that minimize manure levels on eggs and increase the frequency of collection can help to maintain lower bacteria levels to reduce food safety risk.

Resumen

1033 Background: MA.32 investigates effects of Metformin vs. Placebo, in addition to standard care, on invasive disease free survival and other outcomes. Metformin may improve obesity and metabolic factors [insulin, glucose, leptin, C-reactive protein (CRP)] that have been associated with poor BC outcomes. Maintaining blinding of investigators to outcomes, we conducted a planned, DSMB approved, analysis of the effect of Metformin vs. Placebo on weight and metabolic factors at 6 months, including examination of interactions with baseline body mass index (BMI), in the first 498 subjects with paired fasting plasma samples. Methods: 498 non-diabetic subjects with T1-3, N0-3, M0 BC meeting defined entry criteria who had completed surgery and adjuvant chemo (if given) provided fasting blood samples at randomization and 6 months (while on study drug). Glucose was measured locally; blood was aliquoted, frozen and stored at -80°C then shipped to NCIC CTG (Kingston, Canada). Paired plasma aliquots were shipped to Mount Sinai Hospital (Toronto, Canada) for analysis of Insulin (Dako), hsCRP (Roche Elecsys) and leptin (Luminex). Statistical analysis used the Wilcoxon signed rank test. Results: Mean age was 52.4 ±9.2 years. Arms were balanced for ER/PgR (63% pos), BMI, prior adjuvant chemo (89%), T and N status, grade, mastectomy/lumpectomy and radiation. Conclusions: Metformin significantly improved weight, insulin, glucose, leptin and CRP at 6 months. Effects did not vary by baseline BMI. Funded by: NIH, CCSRI, CBCF, BCRF, Apotex Canada (drug & placebo - in kind). Clinical trial information: NCT01101438. [Table: see text]
