As healthcare in Canada is provincially operated, the program innovations in one jurisdiction may not be readily known in other jurisdictions. We examine the availability of implementation-specific data for 30 innovative Canadian programs designed to integrate health and social services for patients with complex needs. Using publicly available data and key informant interviews, we were able to populate only ∼50% of our data collection tool (on average). Formal program evaluations were available for only ∼30% of programs. Multiple barriers exist to the compilation and verification of healthcare programs' implementation data across Canada, limiting cross-jurisdictional learning and making a comparison of programs challenging.

Background: Sarcopenia is an age-related syndrome marked by a gradual decline in skeletal muscle mass and function. While various factors influencing sarcopenia have been studied, the link between daily sedentary time and sarcopenia remains underexplored.
Method: This study analyzed the association between daily sitting time and sarcopenia using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES 2011-2018).

The burden of COVID-19 was heterogeneous, indicating that the effects of this disease are synergistic with both other non-communicable diseases and socioeconomic status (SES), highlighting its syndemic character. While the appearance of vaccines moderated the pandemic effects, their coverage was heterogeneous too, both when comparing different countries, and when comparing different populations within countries. Of note, once again SES appears to be a correlated factor.

Due to growing population and technological advances, global electricity consumption is increasing. Although CO emissions are projected to plateau or slightly decrease by 2025 due to the adoption of clean energy sources, they are still not decreasing enough to mitigate climate change. The residential sector makes up 25% of global electricity consumption and has potential to improve efficiency and reduce CO footprint without sacrificing comfort.

Background: To evaluate the accuracy of Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (ChatGPT), a large language model (LLM), to assist in diagnosing neuro-ophthalmic diseases based on case reports.
Methods: We selected 22 different case reports of neuro-ophthalmic diseases from a publicly available online database. These cases included a wide range of chronic and acute diseases commonly seen by neuro-ophthalmic subspecialists.

Background: Social isolation, encompassing factors like living alone and limited social contact, is associated with increased risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD). One theory is that loneliness, which is the negative psychological affect often associated with social isolation, mediates the relationship between social isolation and AD. Mendelian randomization (MR) approaches that have thus far been used to investigate causal relationships between loneliness and dementia risk have not supported results from observation studies.
