Women's Sexual Orientation and Health: Results from a Canadian Population-Based Survey

Abstract: The current study sought to determine whether health status and health risk behaviors of Canadian women varied based on sexual identity. This was a cross-sectional analysis of data from the Canadian Community Health Survey: cycle 2.1, a national population-based survey designed to gather health data on a representative sample of over 135,000 Canadians including 354 lesbian respondents, 424 bisexual women respondents, and 60,937 heterosexual women respondents. Sexual orientation was associated with disparities in health status and health risk behaviors for lesbian and bisexual women in Canada. Bisexual women were more likely than lesbians or heterosexual women to report poor or fair mental and physical health, mood or anxiety disorders, lifetime STD diagnosis, and, most markedly, life-time suicidality. Lesbians and bisexual women were also more likely to report daily smoking and risky drinking than heterosexual women. In sum, sexual orientation was associated with health status in Canada. Bisexual women, i...

Interprofessional education: An overview of key developments in the past three decades

Abstract: Objective: This paper provides an overview of key developments of interprofessional education (IPE) in relation to its evolution over the past 30 years. Methods: A narrative review of the salient IPE literature was undertaken to generate key source materials for this paper. Results: Results are presented in four sections that focus on describing and discussing: the emergence of IPE, different learn- ing/teaching approaches; theevidence base forIPE;organizationalelements. Inaddition, tohelpillustratethesedevelopments, we offer a case example of the work currently being undertaken atour own institution, with a focus on how various IPE developments have been integrated into our organizational priorities. Conclusions: Based on the results presented, a series of key conclusions for the future development and implications of IPE are outlined.

Ultrasound reduces the minimum effective local anaesthetic volume compared with peripheral nerve stimulation for interscalene block

Abstract: Results. The MEAV required to provide effective analgesia was significantly (P¼0.034) reduced to 0.9 ml [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.3–2.8] in the US group from 5.4 ml (95% CI 3.4–8.6) in the NS group. Fewer needle passes were needed to identify the brachial plexus with US (1 vs 3; P,0.0001) and patients had less pain at 30 min after surgery (P¼0.03). Conclusions. US reduces the number of attempts, LA volume, and postoperative pain when compared with NS for ISB.
