Suicidal Ideation and Attempts in Older Adults: Findings From Five Canadian Emergency Departments

Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The main objective of this study was to describe the characteristics of older Emergency Department (ED) patients consulting for suicidal ideation/suicide attempts. The secondary objective was to explore material and social deprivation status in those patients.

Environmental distribution of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) production in the domain Archaea

Acta Scientiarum: Biological Sciences
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are polyesters synthesised by prokaryotes as a carbon and energy storage strategy. Due to their properties and versatility, these biopolymers are a potential alternative to conventional low-caliber plastics.

Mosquito feeding patterns in the context of West Nile and eastern equine encephalitis viruses in eastern Ontario, Canada

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Mosquitoes in Eastern Ontario, Canada, readily fed on bloodmeal hosts consistent with patterns observed in other regions of North America. Enzootic and bridge vector mosquitoes fed on amplification hosts like American Robins (Turdus migratorius) together with humans, highlighting a potential route for WNV and EEEV transmission to human populations. Our

Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation of Jatropha curcas L. with a polyhydroxyalkanoate gene (phaC)

Indonesian Journal of Biotechnology, 2018
Polyhydroxybutyrate is a component of bioplastics that is synthesized under the control of enzymes encoded by pha multigenes. The genes are naturally present in Ralstonia eutropha. However, the production of bioplastics in bacteria is inefficient because

Assessment of the efficacy of large volume delayed sampling primary culture and pathogen reduction in preventing septic reactions from platelet transfusions

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Many mitigation processes have been introduced to reduce septic transfusion reactions (STRs) caused by the transfusion of bacterially contaminated PLTs. Methods The efficacy of primary culture and pathogen reduction is assessed in this review using data from long‐term hemovigilance programs in the US, Canada, UK, France, Switzerland,

Screening of polyhydroxyalkanoate-producing bacteria and PhaC-encoding genes in two hypersaline microbial mats from Guerrero Negro, Baja California Sur, Mexico [PDF]

PeerJ, 2018
Hypersaline microbial mats develop through seasonal and diel fluctuations, as well as under several physicochemical variables. Hence, resident microorganisms commonly employ strategies such as the synthesis of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) in order to ...

Survival Outcomes and Complications Among Canadian Children With Retinoblastoma: A Population‐Based Report From CYP‐C

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, Volume 73, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Purpose Retinoblastoma (RB) is the most common pediatric ocular cancer, yet population‐based data on survival and risk factors remain limited. This study aimed to describe survival in a large national RB cohort and identify predictors of death and complications.
