Article Synopsis
- This scoping review explores how "weight-related evidence" is defined and understood by Canadian Registered Dietitians, examining their perceptions, experiences, and knowledge regarding body size, fatness, and obesity in nutrition care.
- Based on a rigorous methodology, including a search across four main databases and grey literature, the review analyzed 2217 initial results and included 67 relevant studies, finding varied insights into the role of weight-related evidence across different aspects of nutrition assessment and interventions.
- The findings highlight the need for ongoing dialogue about weight-related issues in dietetics, providing a foundation for future research on dietitian-led interventions and suggesting that these Canadian insights could inform a broader international perspective.

A homozygous splice donor variant (c.87+1G>A) has been identified to be the founder variant causing alkaptonuria among Narikuravars, a group of gypsies settled in Tamil Nadu.

We reflect on the potential of multimodal critical discourse analysis to be combined with arts-based health research as an analytic method to deconstruct discourses that shape the health and well-being of marginalized communities. Specifically, we frame this potential within our research about men's body image based a project using cellphilming and the deconstruction of cis-heteronormative and related ideologies.

- Despite national efforts to highlight the importance of capnography for confirming tracheal intubation, deaths from unrecognized esophageal intubation persist, prompting the adoption of a two-person verbal check during the intubation process.
- In a study across two hospitals, one implemented a one-step check and the other a two-step check, collecting feedback from anaesthetists and assistants via anonymous questionnaires throughout the process.
- The majority of participants felt that the two-person checks enhanced communication and teamwork, with high support for continued use; 82% of intubators and 94% of assistants intended to use this method for future intubations.
