Buried in the Doug Ford govt's fall budget are changes that would remove parts of Wasaga beach from provincial protection. As I reported in August, those parts are 60% of the world’s longest freshwater beach and the main nesting area for the endangered piping plover: thenarwhal.ca/wasaga-beach...

“If anaesthetists are to adopt a screening test for an otherwise asymptomatic population, we must be reasonably confident that: the test detects the target condition; detection changes management in a way that improves patient-centred outcomes; and harms are outweighed by benefits”

I’m caffeinating now to get ahead of my future exercise and HTN related AFib.
RCT: Patients with #AFib who continued their usual caffeinated coffee intake after cardioversion experienced less recurrence of AF or atrial flutter compared to those who abstained from coffee and caffeine.

Just when you think the Trump administration couldn't get worse they call on their reserves of bigotry and pettiness and descend a bit further.
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

I was with a realtor in the late 1990s looking at houses, and I saw all these expensive homes with big trucks and kid toys in the yard. I said: This is nuts. The realtor nodded and said:" Yes, but you realize that it's not my job to tell people *not* to buy houses, right?
I used to drive around many areas with HUGE homes, large RV parking and expensive cars parked out front and wonder "how can there be SO MANY PEOPLE who can afford all of this?", until I finally answered my own question: They can't.

This is really important.
The main thing that makes it hard to achieve integrated nature and green in cities isn’t density of buildings or density of people — it's density of cars. And the more well-designed and integrated density of people & buildings you achieve, the fewer cars you need or want.

We probably went overboard on withholding perioperative transfusion in the wake of TRICC, but there’s still little to be gained setting a generous transfusion trigger (100 g/L).
Liberal transfusion after major surgery did not reduce death or major cardiac event rates compared to restrictive thresholds in high-risk patients.

Have you heard of “The Populist Playbook?”
A few years ago, I posted what I still consider one of my most important messages.
It was about “The Populist Playbook” that I’ve watched play out often over my 33+ years of city planning.
Since then, it’s only gotten worse.
Do the steps sound familiar?

A typical European car is parked 92% of the time. It spends 1/5th of its driving time looking for parking. Its 5 seats only move 1.5 people. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, and most of the energy that does, moves the car, not the people.
