Minimal hepatic encephalopathy has been shown to increase risk of involvement in road traffic accidents and alter
quality of life. This systematic review focused on the role of nonabsorbable disaccharides for the management of minimal hepatic encephalopathy. Randomized clinical trials that evaluated medical management of minimal hepatic encephalopathy were considered for inclusion. Individual studies compared lactulose with usual care and lactulose with probiotics and l-ornithine-l-aspartate. The outcome for examination was the neuropsychiatric test for cognitive function. Search strategies outlined by the Johanna Briggs Institute were used, and articles and references of selected articles were reviewed according to that methodology. Meta-analyses …

Poster: Piggyback Attack: Piggyback Lens Fit Secondary To Traumatic Ocular Injuries, Jessica Tu

Jessica Tu

Approximately 2.4 million ocular injuries occurring in the US annually, and may lead to temporary or permanent vision loss. [1] Dependent on its origin, ocular trauma may range from corneal abrasions to traumatic iritis, to retinopathies and detachment. Piggybacking a corneal gas permeable (GP) contact lens over a soft contact lens is an alternative option that proves beneficial when other specialty lenses are contraindicated and/or cannot be manipulated with needed parameters (i.e., filtering blebs, necessary colour options).

The Embodiment Of War: Growth, Development, And Armed Conflict, Patrick F. Clarkin Dec 2018

The Embodiment Of War: Growth, Development, And Armed Conflict, Patrick F. Clarkin

Patrick F. Clarkin

Armed conflict regularly presents extremely adverse circumstances not only for combatants, but also for civilians. In fact, estimates from various wars over the past 70 years suggest that noncombatants comprise the majority of casualties. For survivors, war's effects are often embodied, leaving long-term effects on health and biology. Some of these effects, such as injuries and psychological trauma, are well known. Yet other effects may be subtle and may be elucidated by a developmental biological perspective. In early life, when growth rates are highest, conditions of war may have their greatest impact. Depending on local circumstances, a developing embryo, infant, …

Methods: Using mixed-methods pilot data from an MI-based obesity prevention intervention delivered via home visits by health educators (HEs) with 44 families (n = 17 four home visit group; n = 14 two home visit group), we examined: 1) fidelity of MI adherence by HEs; 2) parents’ perceptions of the intervention; and 3) HEs insights pertaining to the intervention’s delivery.
Results: Multiple measures of MI fidelity were deemed to exceed defined proficiency levels. Ninety-three percent of families reported being …

Background: In Canada, a majority of children and adults are insufficiently active for health gains, and about one in seven children and over 20% of adults are overweight or obese. Overweight and obesity are risk factors for many chronic diseases in both adults and children and can result in lower quality and quantity of life. Children whose parents are overweight or obese are more likely to become overweight themselves. Thus, parent/child interventions are important for reducing obesity and promoting long-term healthy weights among members of the family unit. Programs using Co-Active coaching have resulted in positive behaviour changes among adults …

Background: Early childhood educators greatly influence young children’s physical activity and screen-viewing behaviours in childcare. However, educators have requested additional training in physical activity programming, and one logical place to provide this education is during their pre-service schooling. This study explored the physical activity and screen-viewing-related knowledge, training, and self-efficacy of early childhood education (ECE) candidates across Canada, to determine their confidence and ability to facilitate physical activity opportunities and limit screen-viewing among young children in childcare.
Methods: Key program personnel at 61 (of 110) Canadian colleges/universities offering an ECE program agreed to participate in this cross-sectional study. An online …

Jennifer D. Irwin

Background: Recently, our team implemented a 13-week group-based intervention for parents of children with obesity (“C.H.A.M.P. Families”). The primary objective of this study was to explore, qualitatively, parents’ perspectives of their experiences in and influence of C.H.A.M.P. Families, as well as their recommendations for future paediatric obesity treatment interventions. Methods: Twelve parents (seven mothers, five fathers/step-fathers) representing seven children (four girls, three boys) with obesity participated in one of two focus groups following the intervention. Focus groups were audio recorded and transcribed verbatim and data were analyzed using inductive thematic analysis. Results: Findings showed that parents perceived their participation in …
