Preventive care recommendations to promote health equity.

Background: Avoidable disparities in health outcomes persist in Canada despite substantial investments in a publicly funded health care system that includes preventive services. Our objective was to provide preventive care recommendations that promote health equity by prioritizing effective interventions for people experiencing disadvantages.

Methods: The guideline was developed by a primary care provider-patient panel, with input from a patient-partner panel with diverse lived experiences.

Nonneuronal origin of CO2-related DC EEG shifts: an in vivo study in the cat.

We studied the mechanisms underlying CO(2)-dependent DC potential shifts, using epicranial, epidural, epicortical, intraventricular, and intraparenchymal (intraneuronal, intraglial, and field) recordings in ketamine-xylazine-anesthetized cats. DC shifts were elicited by changes in artificial ventilation, causing end-tidal CO(2) variations within a 2-5% range. Hypercapnia was consistently associated with negative scalp DC shifts (average shift -284.
