Development and Validation of a Risk Prediction Model to Identify Women With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease for Proactive Palliative Care.
Respirology
February 2025
School of Medicine and Public Health, The University of Newcastle, Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia.
Background And Objective: Proactive palliative interventions can improve symptom control and quality of life in individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD); however, they are often underutilised. This study aimed to develop and validate a prediction model to identify women with COPD in their last year of life to facilitate timely palliative care referrals and interventions.
Methods: Data from 1236 women diagnosed with COPD from the 1921-1926 Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health cohort, linked to administrative health records, were analysed.

Case Presentation: In the early 2000s the United Kingdom created a new occupational role, that of physician assistant.
Measurement of climate change-related food (in)security and food sovereignty in Canada's northern communities and the circumpolar region: a scoping review protocol.

Introduction: Climate change impacts the circumpolar region (including northern Canada) at a greater magnitude than other parts of the world. This affects food (in)security as well as food sovereignty. This scoping review aims to map the methods of measuring food (in)security and food sovereignty across northern Canada and the circumpolar region in support of the Yukon Government's climate change adaptation strategy.

Background: Prolonged packing of anorectal abscess cavities with internal dressings after incision and drainage is frequently used, but the efficacy of this practice remains controversial. Some studies highlight its use in hemostasis and preventing fistula and abscess recurrence, whereas others describe its economic burden and increase in pain. In this systematic review, we examine current evidence on the impact of packing after incision and drainage for anorectal abscesses.
