Determinants and Inequities in Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) Care Access Among Im/Migrant Women in Canada: Findings of a Comprehensive Review (2008–2018)

Given growing concerns of im/migrant women’s access to sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services, we aimed to (1) describe inequities and determinants of their engagement with SRH services in Canada; and (2) understand their lived experiences of barriers and facilitators to healthcare. Using a comprehensive review methodology, we searched the quantitative and qualitative peer-reviewed literature of im/migrant women’s access to SRH care in Canada from 2008 to 2018. Of 782 studies, 38 met inclusion criteria. Ontario (n?=?18), British Columbia (n?=?6), and Alberta (n?=?6) were primary settings represented. Studies focused primarily on maternity care (n?=?20) and sexual health screenings (n?=?12). Determinants included health system navigation and service information; experiences with health personnel; culturally safe and language-specific care; social isolation and support; immigration-specific factors; discrimination and racialization; and gender and power relations. There is a need for research that compares experiences across diverse groups of racialized im/migrants and a broader range of SRH services to inform responsive, equity-focused programs and policies.

Expression pattern of gastrointestinal markers in native colorectal epithelium, lesions, and carcinomas

Three small peptides with a typical cysteine-rich domain (TFF or P-domain) display a specific folding structure (trefoil); they are abundantly expressed on mucosal surfaces of normal and neoplastic gastrointestinal tissues. This epithelial location coincides with mucin secretion and, although not proven beyond doubt, this association is suggestive of their function in maintenance of surface integrity. Using normal colon epithelium, premalignant lesions and tumor samples and specific antibodies we studied expression of these peptides in colorectal carcinomas. RT PCR was performed to extend the sensitivity of the assays. While coexpression of pS2, hITF, MUC1 and MUC2 was demonstrated, MUC5 was absent and no simultaneous activity of pS2 and SML1 (as in gastric mucosa and carcinoma) was noted in rectal tumors. Actively transcribed and expressed cytokeratin 20 and GAPDH were used as experimental controls for immunostaining and RT-PCR, respectively.
