Background: Commissioning for health services has been implemented as one approach to improve the quality and access to healthcare for First Nations, regional and remote populations. This review systematically scoped the literature for studies that described or evaluated the governance, funding, implementation and outcomes from health service commissioning targeting these groups in Canada, Australia, Aotearoa/New Zealand and the United States (CANZUS nations).
Methods: Seventeen databases were searched for relevant peer reviewed and grey literature studies published in English from 2010 to 2023.
Leaf photosynthesis models are used extensively in photosynthesis research and are embedded in many larger scale models. Typical photosynthesis models simplify light intensity as the integrated intensity over the 400-700 nm waveband (photosynthetic active radiation, PAR). However, far-red light (700-750 nm, FR) also drives photosynthesis when supplied in addition to light within the PAR spectrum.

- The Department of Health and Social Care released a report in November 2023, highlighting the negative impacts of solitary confinement on people with learning disabilities and autism, but the recommendations are largely not supported by evidence-based practices.
- The report raises issues regarding the terminology used, such as "solitary confinement," assumptions about long-term segregation, and unfairly placing responsibility on clinicians for situations outside their control.
- A critical appraisal of the report aims to summarize its potential benefits while pointing out specific concerns and advocating for best practices in mental health care.
Globally, thousands of truck occupants die annually from motor vehicle incidents. During medico-legal investigations of such incidents, forensic practitioners are required to undertake thorough examinations of the injuries present. Despite this, very few studies assessing skeletal fractures in particular, in deceased truck occupants are currently available in the literature for practitioners.

Background: The Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol improved perioperative colorectal care. Although the protocol is firmly implemented across hospital settings, there are benefits to gain by actively involving patients in their recovery. The main objective of this study was to investigate whether compliance with selected items in the ERAS protocol could further improve by using a patient-centred mobile application.
