Comic-Con gets Cancon
The 2009 Comic-Con International was held in San Diego at the end of July. It is an event savvy entertainment producers and creators from around the world - including Canadians - are attending and monitoring in growing numbers. Now in its 40th year, Comic-Con has emerged from its origins as a bastion of comic books and geeks into a pop culture smorgasbord (featuring films, television, video games, toys, merchandise and, yes, comic books). The growing infiltration of 3D cinema technology made a huge splash with a number of high-profile releases previewed. And with record attendance - pegged at between 125,000 and 144,000 for the four-and-a-half-day event, it's clear San Diego's impact is only growing. This is partially because the original subject matter of Comic-Con - comic books themselves - has changed. No longer exclusively featuring caped superheroes, comic books have matured and gained more of a mainstream acceptance. And Canada is positioned to play a major role in comics' resurgence. The country is generally perceived by the comic book world as having a major cluster of up-and-coming talent that should be watched over the next few years.

68 Blue monday - association between incidence of STEMI and day of the week
BackgroundPrevious studies have shown a circadian association with the incidence of myocardial infarction, with a higher incidence on a Monday. We sought to establish whether there was any association between rates of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and day of the week in an Irish populationMethodsAll STEMIs recorded in the Republic of Ireland national ACS database, and from both centres providing primary PCI in Northern Ireland, from January 2013 through March 2018 were included in the analysis. Dates of admission were grouped by day of the week. Chi-Square goodness-of-fit test was performed across the entire data set. Odds ratios and Chi-Square independence tests were calculated for each day versus the mean of the other 6 days of the week.Results10,528 patients were included in the analysis (7,112 in the Republic of Ireland, 3,416 in Northern Ireland). Chi-Square goodness-of-fit test showed a significant deviation from an even distribution across the week (p<0.000). The total number of STEMI vs mean by day of week are reported in Figure 1 below. The incidence of STEMI was significantly higher on Mondays: OR 1.13 (p=0.015). Relative odds ratios and p values are reported in Figure 2 below.SummaryWe found an association between the incidence of STEMI and the start of the working week. There is a significantly higher incidence of STEMI on Mondays.Abstract 68 Figure 1Incidence of STEMI by day of the week.
