Watch this video. Listen to her. Bear witness. This is heartbreaking 💔. There is absolutely no excuse not to find the missing and murdered Indigenous women. Do your job. Find them, so these families can at least find some sort of closure. Stop the genocide of Indigenous women!
Great talk by Alexandra Baaske, M1 at UBC discussing the possibility of using SMS messaging (through WelTel) as a means for patients to stay connected with their providers while they remain on maintenance therapy of food allergy immunotherapy! #CSACI22
Currently, food allergy education focuses on teachers. A shift towards having school-based education programs geared towards students would be helpful! Thanks for the talk, Laura Feldman, MD candidate, UofT. #CSACI22
Peanut specific IgE binding and allergen detection per unit mass is decreased in Bamba vs. roasted/ raw peanut. Bamba may potentially be safer to use as peanut oral immunotherapy. Thanks for the talk Casey Cohen, PhD Candidate, McGill University #CSACI22
Parental concern is significantly decreased once children have reached maintenance dosing on pediatric OIT, but overall quality of life does not seem to change. Benjamin Lawson, McGill University #CSACI22
Patients completely adherent to milk OIT once at maintenance dosing appear to have less reactions (however, not statistically significant. Larger scale studies are required). Pasquale Mule, McGill University. #CSACI22
A modified sesame desensitization protocol in children may be considered as there were significantly decreased reactions that occurred with tahini muffins, as opposed to sesame seeds. Thanks Sofianne Gabrielli! (McGill University) #CSACI22
That’s a wrap! Great oral presentations given by residents/ medical students/ graduate students! Dr. Netusha Thevaranjan, PGY3 Pediatrics, University of Saskatchewan, signing off! Enjoy the meeting! #CSACI22
