The 6th cycle represented our biggest expansion of the journal yet, as we increased promotions to medical schools and universities across Canada, the Canadian Federation of Medical Students (CFMS), the Ontario Medical Students’ Weekend (OMSW), and indeed we’ve been receiving increasing numbers of submissions internationally as well. UOJM 6.2: Global Health focuses on an increasingly important aspect of healthcare: our growing connectedness with other countries and the health- care needs that exist abroad and for incoming refugees. With wars happening overseas, our borders have been welcoming tens of thousands of refugees, and with that comes new challenges for our healthcare system—challenges that we have no doubt Canadian healthcare professionals and researchers are keen to take on. The articles in this issue address many aspects of refugee health, such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), problems associated with language barriers, and challenges accompanying the transition to becoming Canadian. Overseas, healthcare needs can vary greatly from our own. This issue also discusses the challenges of addressing paediatric cancer in developing countries, the potential benefits of using Community Health Workers

  • App for Serum Phosphate Control: a Randomized Controlled Trial
    Original Investigation Multidisciplinary Team versus a “Phosphate-Counting” App for Serum Phosphate Control: A Randomized Controlled Trial Ana Cecilia Farfan-Ruiz,1 Daniel Czikk,2 Julie Leidecker,3 Tim Ramsay,4 Brendan McCormick,1,3 Kumanan Wilson,5 and Deborah Zimmerman 1,3 Abstract Background Hyperphosphatemia is almost universal in well-nourished patients with ESKD treated with dialysis due to an imbalance between dietary intake and phosphate removal via residual kidney function and dialysis. Although food phosphate content can vary dramatically between meals, the current standard is to prescribe a fixed dose of phosphate binder that may not match meal phosphate intake. The primary objective of our study was to determine if the use of an app that matches phosphate binder dose with food phosphate content would be associated with an improvement in serum phosphate and a reduction in calcium carbonate intake compared with the multidisciplinary renal team. Methods Eighty patients with ESKD treated with peritoneal dialysis at a tertiary care hospital in Canada were randomized to the standard of care for serum phosphate management (multidisciplinary renal team) versus the OkKidney app. Serum phosphate was measured at baseline and then monthly for 3 months with adjustments to phosphate management as deemed necessary by the multidisciplinary team (control) or the phosphate binder multiplier in the OkKidney app (intervention) on the basis of the laboratory values. The primary analysis was an unpaired t test of the serum phosphate at study completion. Results The participants were 56 (614) years old, and 54% were men; the most common cause of ESKD was diabetes mellitus.

  • The Iconic News Image As Visual Event in Photojournalism and Digital Media
    Copyright is owned by the Author of the thesis. Permission is given for a copy to be downloaded by an individual for the purpose of research and private study only. The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. i The Iconic News Image as Visual Event in Photojournalism and Digital Media A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts In Media Studies At Massey University, Manawatu New Zealand Samantha Diane Kelly 2013 ii Abstract This thesis shows how the uses and meanings of the iconic news image have changed with the emergence of digital media. Most of the iconic photographs of the twentieth century were produced by photojournalists and published in mass circulation newspapers and magazines. In the twenty–first century, amateurs have greater access to image producing technologies and greater capacity to disseminate their images through the Internet. This situation has made possible the use of iconic news images to support political agendas other than those promoted in the media institutions and beyond the range of censorship imposed by those media. In order to demonstrate the functions and understand this unprecedented situation, this thesis explores how iconic news images produce meaning. I consider formal definitions of iconic news images but adopt Nicholas Mirzoeff's theory of the visual event to explain how the meanings of iconic news images are impacted by historical context, media institutions and viewer responses. This dynamic model of visual communication allows us to see that iconic news images indeed function as events and that there is a political struggle over the creation, staging, publication and interpretation of those events.

  • Referral Form to Colorectal Cancer Screening Program
    Referral Form to Colorectal Cancer Screening Program FOR HIGH RISK PATIENTS ONLY A guide for referring physicians The Colorectal Cancer Screening Program (CCSP) aims to save lives by improving access to colorectal cancer screening exams for those at increased risk. As the referring physician, you may use the attached form to refer patients to the CCSP at The Ottawa Hospital, Queensway Carleton Hospital or the Montfort Hospital. Once the referral is received at the hospital, patients will be scheduled to have a colonoscopy performed by one of the program physicians. The hospital will communicate directly with the referred patients to educate them about the procedure and the scheduled procedure date. REFERRAL FORM INSTRUCTIONS: Indication for the referral The Colorectal Cancer Screening Program is only applicable to patients who require colonoscopy screening due to a positive Fecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT), or a colorectal cancer diagnosis in at least one first degree relative (parent, sibling, child). Those being referred to the program with a family history of colorectal cancer should be at least 50 years of age OR ten years younger than the age at which their first degree relative was diagnosed - whichever is younger. All other referrals for colonoscopy must be referred directly to the gastroenterologist or surgeon of your choosing. Note: NO direct referral to any one of the program gastroenterologists or surgeons will be permitted using this program referral form. Significant medical history It is important that all significant and relevant patient medical history be provided on the referral form. If the answer is “Yes” to any of the pre-existing conditions, the patient will be assessed for medical readiness by the physician performing the colonoscopy prior to their scheduled procedure date.

  • Construction of Racial and Math Learner Identities in Eight African American Adolescents at Flower Academy
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: EMBRACING MATHEMATICS IDENTITY IN AN AFRICAN-CENTERED SCHOOL: CONSTRUCTION AND INTERACTION OF RACIAL AND MATHEMATICAL STUDENT IDENTITIES Farhaana Nyamekye, Ph.D, 2010 Directed By: Associate Professor of Mathematics Education, Daniel Chazan, Curriculum and Instruction This dissertation is a report of a multiple case study of eight seventh grade African American students attending an African-centered school. This African-centered school is attended solely by children of African descent and adheres to a system of African cultural values, focusing on culture, relationships, and academic excellence. The report provides in depth case analyses of two of these students as they navigate their multiple identities. The foci of the analyses are on the students‟ construction of their math learner identities and racial identities and on their construction of both of these identities taken together. Phenomenological variant of ecological systems theory illuminates the challenges and supports that these students encounter in constructing their identities. The mathematics and racial socialization practices within the school and within the students‟ home environments are documented within this report as support mechanisms that provide opportunities for the students to construct identities as African American mathematics learners. The findings suggest that academic spaces that reduce the stress of racism and help students to value their racial identity may be particularly important spaces for other African American mathematics learners. The findings also have positive implications for the implementation of African and African American cultural practices and programs that can help other African American learners to positively construct identities as both African Americans and math learners. The documented findings raise critical questions about whether other African American learners, despite the heterogeneity within this population, would benefit from African-centered schooling.
