- Glyphosate usage has risen significantly in the U.S. since 1996, with research showing it can accumulate in the brain and invoke neuroinflammation, potentially influencing neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's Disease (AD).
- The study involved giving varied doses of glyphosate to both Alzheimer's model mice and control mice, revealing that glyphosate and its metabolite remained detectable in brain tissue even after a recovery period.
- Results indicated that glyphosate exposure led to worsened cognitive function in AD mice, along with significant increases in brain plaque formation, tau protein abnormalities, and persistent inflammatory markers in both mouse groups.
Purpose: This cohort study aimed to investigate resident physician productivity in an academic emergency department (ED) and assess the impact of longitudinal coaching relationships known as clinical coaching teams and co-learners (medical students) on resident productivity.
Methods: Data from patient visits to two academic EDs in Ottawa, Canada between April 2022 and March 2023 were analyzed. The attending physician schedule, learner arrangements, and patient ED treatment team information were collected.
Purpose: This study aimed to examine how different learner arrangements affect the number of patients seen per hour by staff emergency physicians in ambulatory and non-ambulatory zones of two tertiary teaching hospitals in Ottawa, Canada.
Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study analyzing all emergency department (ED) shifts at the Civic and General Campus EDs of The Ottawa Hospital from April 2022 to March 2023. Data collected included shift type (ambulatory or non-ambulatory), learner arrangement, and number of patients seen per hour.
