The respondents all raised valuable, informative points in response to our Invited Essay. There was convergence around the need to alter governance structures at the same time as payment arrangements for physicians to achieve higher-performing health systems within Canada. At the same time, there were different views on how best to address the disconnect between levels of physician remuneration and accountability for healthcare performance and delivery. In addition to ongoing efforts to improve governance, such as the recent amendments to the government-physician agreement in Alberta, individual provincial governments can and should take the lead in initiating and evaluating further payment and governance experiments.

Background: The Prostate Imaging-Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) calls for reporting the prostate index lesion and the location within the transition (TZ) or peripheral zone (PZ) and location on a corresponding sector map. The aim of this study was to train a deep learning DL-based algorithm for automatic prostate sector mapping and to validate its' performance.
Methods: An automatic 24-sector grid-map (ASG) of the prostate was developed, based on an automatic zone-specific deep learning segmentation of the prostate.

Introduction: Plastic surgery is an essential yet underdeveloped field in many African nations, especially in rural areas. The demand for plastic surgery is increasing, but differences in access to respective services between rural and urban domiciles remain ever existent, despite the exponentiation of trauma, burns, and congenital disorders. According to this review, urban areas have access to better facilities and specialized surgeons, while rural areas frequently lack infrastructure, educated healthcare personnel, and medical resources.

Objectives: The objective of this study is to analyse the preferences of guardians of school-aged children for children's caries prevention services (CPS) and their willingness to pay (WTP) for different levels of attributes.
Design: Four key attributes were identified through a literature review and expert consultations: preventive service time, preventive effectiveness, distance (driving time to service institution) and service cost (out-of-pocket for CPS). A D-efficient design was used to create a discrete choice experiment questionnaire, and data were collected via face-to-face interviews.
Whether temporal discounting is domain-specific between health outcomes and money: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

School of International Pharmaceutical Business, China Pharmaceutical University, No. 639 Longmian Road, Jiangning District, Nanjing, 211198, Jiangsu, China.
Background: Temporal discounting, the preference for immediate over delayed rewards, affects decision-making in domains like health and finance. Understanding the differences in how people discount health outcomes compared to monetary rewards is crucial to shaping health policy and technology assessments.
Aim: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to compare temporal discounting parameters between health outcomes and monetary rewards and evaluate their overall relationship.
