Extreme wildfires in Canada and their contribution to global loss in tree cover and carbon emissions in 2023.

Canadian wildfires in 2023 were record breaking with wide-reaching impacts on people, nature, and climate. Extreme heat and low rainfall associated with climate change led to unprecedented forest fires that released enormous amounts of carbon as they burned. This study used data on fire-driven tree cover loss and forest carbon fluxes to estimate the total extent of stand-replacing forest fires and their associated carbon emissions.

ENTEROBACTER CLOACAE CARDIAC IMPLANTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE INFECTION.

Enterobacter cloacae cardiac implantable electronic device infections are rare but can be associated with significant morbidity and mortality. We report an 11-year-old female with Enterobacter cloacae infection of a dual-chamber transvenous pacemaker pocket. The report is supplemented by a comprehensive review of the literature on Enterobacter cloacae cardiac implantable electronic device infections.

Disentangling the numbers behind agriculture-driven tropical deforestation.

Tropical deforestation continues at alarming rates with profound impacts on ecosystems, climate, and livelihoods, prompting renewed commitments to halt its continuation. Although it is well established that agriculture is a dominant driver of deforestation, rates and mechanisms remain disputed and often lack a clear evidence base. We synthesize the best available pantropical evidence to provide clarity on how agriculture drives deforestation.

Teaching Diagnostic Reasoning to Faculty Using an Assessment for Learning Tool: Training the Trainer.

Introduction: There is a need for a standardized approach to understand and assess clinical reasoning in medical learners. The Assessment of Reasoning Tool was developed based on prevalent theories and frameworks using a multidisciplinary expert panel. As the tool provides a standardized rubric for assessing clinical reasoning, we designed an interactive train-the-trainer workshop for clinical educators and education leaders interested in improving their teaching skills and/or introducing curricula surrounding diagnostic reasoning.
