Abstract	Refugee women in Canada are at increased risk of postpartum depression (PPD) compared with Canadian-born women. Physicians specializing in women's health are in a unique position to intervene with refugee women experiencing PPD. Although there are common contributors to the development of PPD in both Canadian-born and refugee women, refugee women face a number of additional barriers to treatment. These can include factors unique to the refugee experience (e.g., family separation, uncertainty regarding legal status, social mores of the new country) as well as social determinants of health (e.g., poverty, language barriers, barriers to accessing health care). Some authors have argued that all recent immigrant women who are pregnant should be considered at risk for developing PPD and have stressed the importance of early intervention with this group. This commentary argues that effective strategies to address the needs of women refugees who are pregnant focus on the following areas: early identification of women at risk, advocacy efforts, and mitigation of broader relevant social factors (e.g., food insecurity, poverty, lack of social supports). In addition to these strategies, more research is needed to identify how factors interact to increase the risk of PDD in women refugees and to identify factors that protect against the development of PPD in this group.

Abstract	Objective: To determine the prevalence of intestinal parasites and rates of stool testing compliance, as well as associated patient characteristics, among newly arrived refugees at the Mosaic Refugee Health Clinic in Calgary, Alta. Design: Retrospective chart review. Setting: Primary care clinic for refugee patients. Participants: A total of 1390 new refugee patients at the clinic from May 1, 2011, to June 30, 2013. Main outcome measures: Stool ova and parasite test completion and proportion of positive test results. Results: Of 1390 patients, 74.1% (95% CI 71.7% to 76.4%) completed at least 1 stool ova and parasite test. Among those completing tests, 29.7% (95% CI 26.9% to 32.6%) had at least 1 positive result. Patients aged 6 to 18 years were more likely to have positive test results (38.5%, 95% CI 32.2% to 45.0%) than patients aged 19 to 39 were, as were those last residing in Asia (36.4%, 95% CI 30.4% to 42.8%) or sub-Saharan Africa (30.9%, 95% CI 26.8% to 35.1%), compared with those arriving from the Middle East. Conclusion: Given the high compliance of patients submitting stool ova and parasite tests and a high prevalence of positive test results in some refugee groups, targeted screening should be considered in newly arrived refugees at greater risk of intestinal parasites.

Abstract	The use of hematopoietic cell transplantation has expanded and evolved substantially in the last decade. New stem cell sources and stem cell mobilizing agents have been introduced in clinical practice. The incidence of life-threatening complications following autologous stem cell transplant procedures has decreased dramatically. Understanding the immune mediated effect of allogeneic stem cell transplantation has resulted in the development of reduced intensity and non-myeloablative conditioning regimens, allowing transplantation of elderly patients. Long-term complications are starting to emerge, and will gain in importance in the near future.

Abstract	Graft-versus-host disease occurs when transplanted donor-derived T lymphocytes recognize major or minor histocompatibility complex proteins and their associated peptides expressed by recipient antigen-presenting cells. A widely accepted paradigm for the pathophysiology of acute GVHD is based on the existence of 3 sequential steps: (1) injury to the host environment (as would occur during conditioning regimens); (2) donor T-cell activation, proliferation, and differentiation; and (3) damage to the target tissue caused by either cytotoxicity or indirectly by inflammatory cytokines. In order to reduce the incidence of GVHD, recent studies have focused on methods of prophylaxis as well as novel treatments for established GVHD. We review each phase in the development of acute GVHD and discuss recently developed interventions aimed to prevent or treat GVHD by interfering with these pathways.

Abstract	Objectives: Errors in prescribing antiretroviral therapy (ART) often occur with the hospitalization of HIV-infected patients. The rapid identification and prevention of errors may reduce patient harm and healthcare-associated costs. Methods: A retrospective review of hospitalized HIV-infected patients was carried out between 1 January 2009 and 31 December 2011. Errors were documented as omission, underdose, overdose, duplicate therapy, incorrect scheduling and/or incorrect therapy. The time to error correction was recorded. Relative risks (RRs) were computed to evaluate patient characteristics and error rates. Results: A total of 289 medication errors were identified in 146/416 admissions (35%). The most common was drug omission (69%). At an error rate of 31%, nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors were associated with an increased risk of error when compared with protease inhibitors (RR 1.32; 95% CI 1.04-1.69) and co-formulated drugs (RR 1.59; 95% CI 1.19-2.09). Of the errors, 31% were corrected within the first 24 h, but over half (55%) were never remedied. Admissions with an omission error were 7.4 times more likely to have all errors corrected within 24 h than were admissions without an omission. Drug interactions with ART were detected on 51 occasions. For the study population (n = 177), an increased risk of admission error was observed for black (43%) compared with white (28%) individuals (RR 1.53; 95% CI 1.16-2.03) but no significant differences were observed between white patients and other minorities or between men and women. Conclusion: Errors in inpatient ART were common, and the majority were never detected. The most common errors involved omission of medication, and nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors had the highest rate of prescribing error. Interventions to prevent and correct errors are urgently needed.

Abstract	Background: Perinatal anemia may cause perinatal asphyxia. Its pathophysiology and neurodevelopmental effects are theoretically different from other causes of perinatal asphyxia. Objective: The study aimed to determine whether perinatal anemia results in different short-term and long-term outcomes than other causes of perinatal asphyxia treated with therapeutic hypothermia. Methods: We retrospectively included infants with moderate to severe hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, born between May 2009 and October 2015. During follow-up, we assessed cognitive and motor development at 2–3 years of age, using the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, third edition (BSID-III). Neurodevelopmental outcome (NDO) was classified as abnormal in case of cerebral palsy with Gross Motor Function Classification System ≥III and/or a BSID-III composite score < 85. Outcomes of infants with perinatal anemia (initial hemoglobin < 7 mmol/L) were compared to infants born with perinatal asphyxia due to other causes. Results: In total, 111 infants were included of whom 30 infants (27%) died during the neonatal period. Infants with anemia (n = 23) had a higher mortality risk, OR 3.33, 95% CI 1.27–8.72, p = 0.01. None of the surviving infants with anemia (n = 12) had an abnormal NDO, in contrast to 26/69 (38%) with neurodevelopmental impairments, particularly motor problems, in the non-anemic group, p < 0.01. Conclusions: Perinatal anemia causing moderate to severe perinatal asphyxia is associated with a higher risk for neonatal mortality. All survivors with perinatal anemia, however, showed a normal NDO in contrast to children who were born asphyxiated due to other causes. The underlying pathophysiological mechanism for the favorable NDO in the perinatal anemia group needs further elucidation.

Abstract	Background: Although malaria rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) have been extensively evaluated since their introduction in the early 1990's, sensitivity and specificity vary widely limiting successful integration into clinical practice. This paper reviews specific issues surrounding RDT use in field settings and presents results of research investigating how to interpret "faint test bands" on ParaCheck Pf® in areas of low transmission in order to reduce malaria misdiagnosis. Methods: A multi-phase cross-sectional study was conducted at a remote hospital in the northern Tanzanian highlands. Capillary blood samples were taken from consenting participants (n = 319) for blood smear and ParaCheck Pf® testing. Primary outcome variables were sensitivity, specificity and proportion misdiagnosed by ParaCheck Pf® and local microscopy. ParaCheck Pf® "faint bands" were classified as both true positives or true negatives during evaluation to determine appropriate clinical interpretation. Multivariate logistic regression adjusted for age and gender was conducted to determine odds of misdiagnosis for local microscopy and ParaCheck Pf®. Results: Overall, 23.71% of all ParaCheck Pf® tests resulted in a "faint band" and 94.20% corresponded with true negatives. When ParaCheck Pf® "faint bands" were classified as positive, specificity was 75.5% (95% CI = 70.3%-80.6%) as compared to 98.9% (95% CI = 97.0%-99.8%) when classified as negative. The odds of misdiagnosis by local microscopy for those > 5 years as compared to those ≤ 5 years are 0.370 (95% CI = 0.1733-0.7915, p = 0.010). In contrast, even when ParaCheck Pf® faint bands are considered positive, the odds of misdiagnosis by ParaCheck Pf® for those > 5 years as compared to those ≤ 5 years are 0.837 (95% CI = 0.459-1.547, p = 0.5383). Conclusions: We provide compelling evidence that in areas of low transmission, "faint bands" should be considered a negative test when used to inform clinical decision-making. Correct interpretation of RDT test bands in a clinical setting plays a central role in successful malaria surveillance, appropriate patient management and most importantly reducing misdiagnosis.

Abstract	Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has become increasingly important in the treatment of hematologic malignancies over the past 20 years. While it is associated with significant morbidity, it offers the only chance of cure in many circumstances. Autologous and allogeneic transplantation have been used successfully to treat a variety of hematologic malignancies. These 2 approaches offer different risks and benefits which are discussed in this review. Timing of transplantation and selection of patients are also discussed. New innovations in stem cell transplantation including umbilical cord blood and non-myeloablative transplantation are reviewed.

Abstract	We evaluated whether or not a patient's area of primary residence is an independent risk factor for overall survival (OS) after HLA-identical sibling or autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). This retrospective cohort study included patients who underwent autologous (n = 1739) or HLA-identical sibling (n = 267) HSCT to treat a hematologic malignancy between 1983 and 2004 at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. Primary area of residence, using the patient's zip code, was categorized as either urban or rural (including isolated, small rural, or large rural) according to the Rural Urban Commuting Area Codes (RUCA) classification system. An association between area of primary residence and survival was examined using Cox proportional hazards regression analysis while adjusting for patient-, disease-, and treatment-related variables. Patients from rural areas who received autologous HSCT had a higher relative risk of death (relative risk = 1.18; P = .016) than urban patients who underwent the same procedure. Survival rates in patients from rural and urban locations are as follows: 1 year, 73% vs 78% (P = .04); 5 year, 48% vs 54% (P = .012). We failed to detect a significant difference in the risk of death according to primary area of residence in the HLA-identical sibling HSCT cohort, although this may be from lack of statistical power. Our findings suggest that the primary location of a patient's residence may be an independent risk factor for survival after HSCT.

Abstract	Background and purpose: In children with stroke, poor motor outcome is associated with early Wallerian degeneration of the corticospinal tract that is seen on diffusion-weighted MRI. In this study we test the hypothesis that early diffusion changes also occur in the corticospinal tract (CST) of adults after stroke and that these lesions are associated with poor outcome. Methods: In this retrospective study, we assessed images from a serial MRI study of adults with acute middle cerebral/internal carotid artery stroke. MRI-negative TIA patients served as controls. Custom software measured signal along the CST on different sequences, including the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC). Visual detection of abnormal signal by blinded neuroradiologists was also evaluated. We then determined associations between CST signal changes and 3-month motor outcome (NIHSS score). Results: Thirty-eight patients (20 stroke/18 control) were included. ADC measures were much more accurate than other MRI sequences for detection of degeneration in the CST. The ADC decreased in a time-dependent fashion in the CST of patients with poor motor outcome but not in those with good outcome. Changes in ADC were maximal at 7 days. Neuroradiologists could visually detect these changes with accuracy comparable to the software method. Conclusion: CST ADC decreases after acute stroke in patients with poor motor outcome and may represent early Wallerian degeneration. Recognition of this imaging marker may improve early outcome prediction and patient selection for rehabilitation and neuroprotection trials.
