    Abstract Problem addressed: Adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) are a complex population that could benefit from improved care coordination across health and social sectors, as they experience poorer health and have higher rates of emergency department use and hospitalization due to ambulatory care-sensitive conditions.
    Objective of program: To pilot a novel, enhanced model of care coordination for complex patients with IDD.
    Program description: Health Links is a provincial care-coordination program for patients with complex health care needs. This pilot program adapted Health Links to include a guide and training specific to adults with IDD to ensure that these patients' needs were met and high-quality, efficient care was provided.
    Conclusion: A tailored care-coordination approach for adults with IDD was able to identify complex patients in need and successfully bridge cross-sectoral care.

    Abstract Objective: To provide tips and tools for primary care practitioners carrying out health checks for adult patients with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and for implementing a systematic program of health checks in a group or team practice.
    Sources of information: The "Primary Care of Adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities. 2018 Canadian Consensus Guidelines" literature review and interdisciplinary input. Experience in implementing health checks in family practices was obtained through the primary care project of H-CARDD (Health Care Access Research and Developmental Disabilities).
    Main message: Annual comprehensive health assessments ("health checks") are a recommendation of the 2018 Canadian consensus guidelines for primary care of adults with IDD because of evidence of benefit in this population. Although health checks might require more time to complete for people with IDD than is usual for encounters in primary care, family physicians are in an ideal position to provide this service because of the attributes of family medicine, which include both an orientation to proactive care and the ability to provide continuity of care. Tips and tools are provided for carrying out health checks for adult patients with IDD and for implementing a systematic program of health checks in a group or team practice.
    Conclusion: Health checks can help enhance a family physician's approach to providing care for adults with IDD.

    Abstract Atmospheric aqueous chemistry can have profound effects on our environment. The importance of chemistry within the atmospheric aqueous phase was first realized in the 1970s as there was growing concern over the negative impacts on ecosystem health from acid deposition. Research at mountaintop observatories including Whiteface Mountain (WFM) showed that gas phase sulfur dioxide emissions react in cloud droplets to form sulfuric acid, which also impacted aerosol mass loadings. Cloud chemistry research has experienced a major resurgence in scientific interest due to the potential for aqueous chemical processes to fill the gap between modeled and observed organic aerosol mass. The current study updates the long-term trends in cloud water composition at WFM for the past 28 years (1994–2021). Substantial decreases in sulfate (SO 4 2- ) and nitrate (NO 3 - ) concentrations have not been matched by an equivalent decrease in ammonium (NH 4 + ) concentrations, leading to significantly higher cloud droplet pH. Meanwhile, Total Organic Carbon (TOC) concentrations may be increasing (both in relative and absolute terms). In the past, samples were excluded from trend analysis if they did not meet an approximate ion balance, which resulted in approximately half of samples being excluded in recent years. We show that, when including the entire available dataset, decreasing trends in SO 4 2- , NO 3 - and NH 4 + become more modest, TOC concentrations increase at a faster rate, and increasing trends in Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ emerge. A growing trend in cation / anion ratios is also observed, implying that a significant fraction of anions are not being measured with the current suite of measurements, and these missing anions are growing in importance. Organic acids are identified as the most likely candidates for the missing anions, since the measured ion imbalance correlates strongly with measured TOC concentrations. The TOC trend becomes statistically insignificant when evaluating cloud water loadings (or air equivalent mass loadings), ...

    Abstract Objective: To delineate the factors inherent in caring for patients with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) that lead to complexity and to provide perspectives and techniques mapped to the phases of the clinical encounter.
    Sources of information: The authors of the physical health section of the 2018 Canadian consensus guidelines on the primary care of adults with IDD consisted of family physicians, all of whom practise comprehensive family medicine with additional clinical experience in care of adults with IDD. These authors reviewed evidence on which their recommendations are based and these recommendations have undergone a rigorous peer review to ensure that they deserve special attention because they highlight what is different from what a family physician would consider to constitute "normal care" for the general population.
    Main message: Additional factors across the phases of clinical encounters with patients with IDD include the need for the following: an initial assessment that identifies genetic or neurologic conditions to guide anticipatory care and isolates unique barriers to health promotion and chronic disease management; adaptations to history taking, particularly for patients who are unable to describe symptoms owing to cognitive and communication deficits; overcoming challenges to performing physical examinations and certain investigations; addressing uncertainty in the formulation of hypotheses to establish an appropriate diagnosis; and involvement of resources of the developmental services sector to provide a management plan as well as an adapted empathetic approach in order to integrate the patient's illness experience.
    Conclusion: Although each patient with IDD is unique, and care of patients with IDD requires knowledge of certain conditions, these considerations are readily identifiable, and family physicians as expert generalists are well equipped to provide excellent care to patients with IDD.

    Abstract Problem addressed: Adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), a group with complex health problems and inequities in access to health care, look to family physicians for primary care.
    Objective of program: To enable residents to learn and demonstrate competencies that are unique to the care of adults with IDD with minimal extra time and resources required of the residency program.
    Program description: In their regular family medicine teaching practices, residents undertake planned encounters with adults with IDD involving comprehensive health assessments with physical examinations. Tools to implement the Canadian guidelines for primary care of adults with IDD are available to support the residents in their encounters. Background information in the form of self-learning and small group learning resources, field notes with rubrics to assess residents' development of competencies, and faculty development resources are also available.
    Conclusion: It is important to include such planned clinical experiences in family medicine residency curricula because people with IDD have special needs that are difficult to learn about in other settings. It is a benefit to residents to have patients and families actively contributing to teaching.

    Abstract Winter is an understudied but key period for the socioecological systems of northeastern North American forests. A growing awareness of the importance of the winter season to forest ecosystems and surrounding communities has inspired several decades of research, both across the northern forest and at other mid- and high-latitude ecosystems around the globe. Despite these efforts, we lack a synthetic understanding of how winter climate change may impact hydrological and biogeochemical processes and the social and economic activities they support. Here, we take advantage of 100 years of meteorological observations across the northern forest region of the northeastern United States and eastern Canada to develop a suite of indicators that enable a cross-cutting understanding of (1) how winter temperatures and snow cover have been changing and (2) how these shifts may impact both ecosystems and surrounding human communities. We show that cold and snow covered conditions have generally decreased over the past 100 years. These trends suggest positive outcomes for tree health as related to reduced fine root mortality and nutrient loss associated with winter frost but negative outcomes as related to the northward advancement and proliferation of forest insect pests. In addition to effects on vegetation, reductions in cold temperatures and snow cover are likely to have negative impacts on the ecology of the northern forest through impacts on water, soils, and wildlife. The overall loss of coldness and snow cover may also have negative consequences for logging and forest products, vector-borne diseases, and human health, recreation, and tourism, and cultural practices, which together represent important social and economic dimensions for the northern forest region. These findings advance our understanding of how our changing winters may transform the socioecological system of a region that has been defined by the contrasting rhythm of the seasons. Our research also identifies a trajectory of change that informs our expectations for the future as the climate continues to warm.

    Abstract Background: This study aimed to assess the prevalence and causes of vision loss in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) in 2015, compared with prior years, and to estimate expected values for 2020.
    Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis assessed the prevalence of blindness (presenting distance visual acuity <3/60 in the better eye), moderate and severe vision impairment (MSVI; presenting distance visual acuity <6/18 but ≥3/60) and mild vision impairment (MVI; presenting distance visual acuity <6/12 and ≥6/18), and also near vision impairment (<N6 or N8 in the presence of ≥6/12 best-corrected distance visual acuity) in SSA for 1990, 2010, 2015 and 2020.In SSA, age-standardised prevalence of blindness, MSVI and MVI in 2015 were 1.03% (80% uncertainty interval (UI) 0.39-1.81), 3.64% (80% UI 1.71-5.94) and 2.94% (80% UI 1.05-5.34), respectively, for male and 1.08% (80% UI 0.40-1.93), 3.84% (80% UI 1.72-6.37) and 3.06% (80% UI 1.07-5.61) for females, constituting a significant decrease since 2010 for both genders. There were an estimated 4.28 million blind individuals and 17.36 million individuals with MSVI; 101.08 million individuals were estimated to have near vision loss due to presbyopia. Cataract was the most common cause of blindness (40.1%), whereas undercorrected refractive error (URE) (48.5%) was the most common cause of MSVI. Sub-Saharan West Africa had the highest proportion of blindness compared with the other SSA subregions.<br />Conclusions: Cataract and URE, two of the major causes of blindness and vision impairment, are reversible with treatment and thus promising targets to alleviate vision impairment in SSA.
