Article Abstract
Mental illness-related stigma, including that which exists in the healthcare system and among healthcare providers, creates serious barriers to access and quality care. It is also a major concern for healthcare practitioners themselves, both as a workplace culture issue and as a barrier for help seeking. This article provides an overview of the main barriers to access and quality care created by stigmatization in healthcare, a consideration of contributing factors, and a summary of Canadian-based research into promising practices and approaches to combatting stigma in healthcare environments.

Statins in Acute Ischemic Stroke: Mechanisms, Resistance, and Precision Strategies for Neurovascular and Cognitive Protection.

Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) remains a leading cause of mortality and long-term disability globally, with survivors at high risk of recurrent stroke, cardiovascular events, and post-stroke dementia. Statins, while widely used for their lipid-lowering effects, also possess pleiotropic properties, including anti-inflammatory, endothelial-stabilizing, and neuroprotective actions, which may offer added benefit in AIS management. This article synthesizes emerging evidence on statins' dual mechanisms of action and evaluates their role in reducing recurrence, improving survival, and mitigating cognitive decline.

Based on extensive evidence, gender-affirming care (GAC) is endorsed by numerous medical societies as the gold standard for supporting youth who are transgender and gender diverse (TGD). Unfortunately, there remain barriers to accessing GAC and an ongoing risk of gender identity-based mistreatment for youth who are TGD accessing all forms of health care. Gynecologic care is commonly accessed by youth who are TGD as part of medical gender affirmation, with needs ranging from hormone management, menstrual suppression, contraception counseling, and surgical consultation.
