Organ transplantation has become a powerful strategy for the treatment of malignant diseases. Nevertheless, graft rejection is one of the main factors affecting graft survival after organ transplantation. Under this circumstance, the transplant-related mortality still keeps up. This invention includes the precise medication guidance of Tacrolimus (FK506) inapplicable population, against the side-effects of this drug. This invention, based on second-generation sequencing, has the advantages of relatively low cost and high sequencing throughput. During the design process, we collect the data of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) concerning the adverse drug reactions of Tacrolimus. Then we filter and summarize fifteen SNPs basing on importance degree (level >key enzyme>race). Thenceforth, after the process of analyzing the raw extract by operating BWA, Picard-tools, GATK, and Perl, we annotate SNPs by Annovar. Through this innovation, people can obtain further feedback on drugs that targets different genes in order to achieve the purpose of precision medication and minimizing the risks of misusing Tacrolimus.

The Provox® (Atos Medical AB, Hörby, Sweden) voice prosthesis was developed between 1988 and 1990 and has been used at our centre with regular success since 1993. Since 1996, a second generation of Provox® (Provox®2) has been used, which can be inserted by an anterograde technique. The aim of this study is to compare the survival lifetime of both voice prostheses. The survival time of the two voice prostheses were compared retrospectively in 152 devices placed in 38 patients. A Kaplan-Meier analysis was performed to determine the survival lifetimes and a log rank test was performed to compare the two curves. Clinical factors affecting the lifetime were also analysed with a Kaplan-Meier plot.The median survival lifetime of the Provox® and Provox®2 were 303 and 144 days respectively. The Kaplan-Meier estimation shows that this difference is statistically significant (p=0.02). It is considered an early failure if it occurs within the first three months. There was a larger number of early failures with the Provox®2 than with the Provox® (p=0.04). Neither the gender nor the age affected the lifetime of the devices. Radiotherapy seemed to lengthen the lifetime of the first valve.The survival lifetime of the second generation Provox®2 valve is shorter than the lifetime of the first generation Provox®. This could be due to the difference in elasticity of these valves that could lead to a different level of colonization and invasion of the valves by micro-organisms.

This paper investigates the experiences of eight Eritrean youth between the ages of 19-28 living in Toronto, with the purpose of contributing to existing literature on factors affecting the successful integration of second generation racialized youth. Literature on the integration and overall success of second generation racialized youth is growing in Canada, but addressing the experiences of Eritrean youth has garnered no scholarly interest. This is largely a result of little to no information on who the Eritrean community is, how it is integrating in Canadian society, and what kinds of settlement patterns it has followed in Canada. This study opens avenues of research opportunity on this community and seeks to explore, albeit in a limited fashion how the parents’ experiences with settlement and integration affects their children, if at all. My research suggests that the parents’ experiences with social exclusion, in the form of socio-economic disadvantage have in fact important implications for their Canadian children.

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) prevalence is unevenly distributed worldwide. Immigration to Norway from countries with a lower MS prevalence is increasing. The aim of this study was to investigate MS prevalence in different immigrant populations in Norway and evaluate the effect of migrating from low- to high-risk regions of MS. Method: First- and second-generation immigrants from the largest immigrant populations were identified from the 2012 Norwegian prevalence study. Prevalence of MS in different ethnic groups was compared using the standardized prevalence ratio (SPR). Results: European and North-American immigrants had the highest prevalence of MS, whereas African and Asian immigrants had the lowest. The prevalence of first-generation Iranian immigrants was not significantly different from the total Norwegian population (SPR 0.70, 95% CI: 0.46–1.03). Second-generation immigrants from Pakistan (SPR 1.62, 95% CI: 0.88–2.76) had a strong increase in prevalence compared to the first generation (SPR 0.13, 95% CI: 0.05–0.28). Conclusion: MS prevalence among immigrants in Norway in general reflects the uneven distribution worldwide. The sharp increase in prevalence in immigrants seen in one generation suggests strong environmental factors affecting the MS risk in Norway.
