From code to care: Clinician and researcher perspectives on an optimal therapeutic web portal for acute myeloid leukemia
ConclusionsThis research adds to existing calls for digital platforms for researchers and clinicians to supplement extant modes of communication to streamline research and its dissemination, advance precision medicine, and ultimately improve patient prognosis and care. Findings are applicable to therapeutic web portals more generally, particularly in genomic and translational medicine, and will be of interest to portal end-users, developers, researchers, and policymakers.

Can laboratory HIV and infectious syphilis data inform future pre-exposure prophylaxis use in women in Ontario, Canada?
Conclusion
Although it is clinically appropriate to recommend HIV PrEP to women with syphilis, Ontario surveillance data suggest that the population-level impact of this strategy on the HIV epidemic in Ontario would have been modest during this 11-year period. Future studies should explore additional ways of prioritising women for PrEP. (Source: Sexually Transmitted Infections)

Effects of prophylactic hydrocortisone in a tertiary Canadian NICU
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a common complication of preterm birth. Recent evidence suggests that the use of physiological doses of hydrocortisone for the prevention of death or BPD may outweigh the potential risks.1–3 Starting in 2019, all infants born <28 weeks gestational age (GA) in our tertiary care NICU received physiologic doses of hydrocortisone, starting within 24 hours post-birth. Our objective was to determine the effect of prophylactic hydrocortisone on the incidence of survival without moderate or severe BPD; secondary objectives assessed duration of respiratory support and safety outcomes. We...
