    Abstract The liver is the primary organ responsible for the detoxification and metabolism of drugs. To date, a lack of preclinical models that accurately emulate drug metabolism by the human liver presents a significant challenge in the drug development pipeline, particularly for predicting drug efficacy and toxicity. In recent years, emerging microfluidic-based organ-on-a-chip (OoC) technologies, combined with human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) technology, present a promising avenue for the complete recapitulation of human organ biology in a patient-specific manner. However, hiPSC-derived organoids and liver-on-a-chip models have so far failed to sufficiently express cytochrome P450 monooxygenase (CYP450) enzymes, the key enzymes involved in first-pass metabolism, which limits the effectiveness and translatability of these models in drug metabolism studies. This review explores the potential of innovative organoid and OoC technologies for studying drug metabolism and discusses their existing drawbacks, such as low expression of CYP450 genes. Finally, we postulate potential approaches for enhancing CYP450 expression in the hope of paving the way toward developing novel, fully representative liver drug-metabolism models.

    Abstract Across jurisdictions, the use of 'leverage' to promote adherence to mental health treatment is widespread. However, little research exists on the possible association between the application of leverage and personal recovery. We examined the prevalence of various forms of leverage in a Canadian context and compared these rates with those in other jurisdictions. Additionally, we examined the relationship between two prominent forms of leverage (financial and housing) and the experience of personal recovery. Structured interviews were conducted with people receiving community-based mental health care in Toronto, Canada. Rates of overall leverage in our sample were similar to rates reported in other jurisdictions. Personal recovery was negatively associated with financial leverage but was not associated with housing leverage. Our results highlight the importance of separately examining the relationship of specific forms of leverage and personal recovery and raise questions for future research about the possible effect of financial leverage on recovery.

    Abstract Aim: The aim of this study is to explore nurses' experiences of seclusion or restraint use and their participation in immediate staff debriefing in inpatient mental health settings.
    Design: This research was conducted using a descriptive exploratory design and data were gathered through in-depth individual interviews.
    Methods: The experiences of nurses following seclusion or restraint use and their participation in immediate staff debriefing were explored via teleconference, using a semi-structured interview guide. Reflexive thematic analysis was used to identify prevalent themes from the data.
    Results: Interviews (n=10) were conducted with nurses from inpatient mental health wards in July 2020. Five themes emerged through the data analysis: (i) ensuring personal safety; (ii) grappling between the use of least-restrictive interventions and seclusion or restraint use; (iii) navigating ethical issues and personal reactions; (iv) seeking validation from colleagues and (v) attending staff debriefing based on previous experience. The themes were also analysed using Lazarus and Folkman's Transactional Model of Stress and Coping.
    Conclusion: Staff debriefing is a vital resource for nurses to provide and/or receive emotion- and problem-focused coping strategies. Mental health institutions should strive to establish supportive working environments and develop interventions based on the unique needs of nurses and the stressors they experience following seclusion or restraint use.
    Patient or public contribution: Nurses in both frontline and leadership roles were involved in the development and pilot test of the interview guide. The nurses who participated in the study were asked if they can be recontacted if clarification is needed during interview transcription or data analysis.

    Abstract Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is a systemic vasculitis presenting primarily with pulmonary and cutaneous features. The disease is typically seen in the fifth or sixth decade of life (1, 2). We report a case of EGPA in an adolescent who was successfully treated with the interleukin-5 (IL-5) receptor inhibitor, benralizumab.

    Abstract Iron deficiency anemia in pregnancy is a major public health problem known to cause maternal morbidity and adverse birth outcomes, and it may also have lasting consequences on infant development. However, the impact of the maternal hematological environment on fetal and infant hemoglobin and iron stores in the first year of life remains unclear. This review of the epidemiological evidence found that severe maternal iron deficiency anemia in pregnancy is associated with lower ferritin, and to a lesser degree hemoglobin levels, in infants at birth. Emerging data also suggests that severe anemia in pregnancy increases the risk of iron deficiency and anemia in infants 6-12 months of age, although longitudinal studies are limited. Effective anemia prevention in pregnancy, such as iron supplementation, could reduce the risk of infant anemia and iron deficiency during the first year of life; however, more evidence is needed to determine the functional impact of iron supplementation in pregnancy on infant hematological indices.

    Abstract Immunoglobulin type gamma 4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a fibroinflammatory condition that can have systemic and/or cutaneous manifestations. The most common cutaneous features are erythematous papules, nodules and/or plaques, typically involving the head and neck (J Am Acad Dermatol. 2016;75:197). We report a case of IgG4-RD presenting with eruptive cherry angiomas, a novel cutaneous presentation.
