Rapid warming in polar regions is causing large changes to ecosystems, including altering environmentally available mercury (Hg). Although subarctic freshwater systems have simple vertebrate communities, Hg in amphibians remains unexplored. We measured total Hg (THg) in wetland sediments and methylmercury (MeHg) in multiple life-stages (eggs to adults) of wood frogs (Rana sylvatica) and larval boreal chorus frogs (Pseudacris maculata) from up to 25 wetlands near Churchill, Manitoba (Canada), during the summers of 2018-2019.

- The study aimed to evaluate Canadian midwifery research against the Quality of Maternal and Newborn Care (QMNC) framework established by the 2014 Lancet Series, focusing on strengths and gaps in the current research landscape.
- A scoping review was conducted, analyzing 590 articles from various databases to assess how well Canadian research aligns with global midwifery priorities.
- Findings indicated that while there is substantial research on care organization and clinical practices, notable gaps exist in areas like neonatal and postpartum outcomes, midwifery education, and understanding midwifery values and philosophy.
Background: Globally, midwifery-led birthing units are associated with favourable clinical outcomes and positive birth experiences. As part of our evaluation of Canada's first Alongside Midwifery Unit (AMU) at Markham Stouffville Hospital, we sought to explore and compare birth experiences and satisfaction among midwifery clients who gave birth on the AMU with midwifery clients who gave birth on the traditional obstetric unit prior to AMU implementation.
Methods: We conducted a structured, online, cross-sectional survey of midwifery clients in the six months before, and up to 18 months after, opening of the AMU at Markham Stouffville Hospital, Ontario Canada.
