    Abstract This article analyzes which characteristics are correlated with mobility reductions during the COVID-19 pandemic, using census-division-level mobility data for Canada from Facebook. There is significant variation in the extent to which social distancing was applied in April, relative to a preperiod of February. I find that the population and population density of a census division are strongly correlated with larger mobility reductions. Conversely, I find that areas with a larger share of dwellings that are apartments exhibit smaller mobility reductions, suggesting that those in tighter living conditions may find it less possible to stay at home during the pandemic. Finally, I examine the persistence of mobility reductions into May and show that areas with a larger apartment dwelling share are more likely to maintain their social distancing over time.

    Abstract Idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis (IPH) is a rare, potentially fatal disease characterized by recurrent diffuse alveolar hemorrhage. Presentation varies, and delay in diagnosis and treatment can result in respiratory complications and increased mortality. It is imperative to consider IPH in the differential of a patient presenting with transfusion-dependent microcytic anemia and concomitant pulmonary symptoms. This case series describes two pediatric patients with persistent severe microcytic anemia despite multiple blood transfusions. Both patients underwent extensive workup for their anemia, and ultimately, their respiratory symptoms led to their diagnosis of IPH. Both were then managed with long-term corticosteroids and had significant clinical improvement.

    Abstract Introduction: Large language models (LLM), such as Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer (ChatGPT) and Bard utilise deep learning algorithms that have been trained on a massive data set of text and code to generate human-like responses. Several studies have demonstrated satisfactory performance on postgraduate examinations, including the United States Medical Licensing Examination. We aimed to evaluate artificial intelligence performance in Part A of the intercollegiate Membership of the Royal College of Surgeons (MRCS) examination.
    Methods: The MRCS mock examination from Pastest, a commonly used question bank for examinees, was used to assess the performance of three LLMs: GPT-3.5, GPT 4.0 and Bard. Three hundred mock questions were input into the three LLMs, and the responses provided by the LLMs were recorded and analysed. The pass mark was set at 70%.
    Results: The overall accuracies for GPT-3.5, GPT 4.0 and Bard were 67.33%, 71.67% and 65.67%, respectively (
    Conclusions: Our findings demonstrated satisfactory performance for all three LLMs in the MRCS Part A examination, with GPT 4.0 the only LLM that achieved the pass mark set.

    Abstract Technology advances in eHealth and mHealth are changing the way that health care consumers and providers communicate, receive and deliver care, and access health information. As electronic health records and smartphones have become ubiquitous in the United States, opportunities and applications for the integration of eHealth and mHealth have increased. In addition to technology advances, the changing health care model is simultaneously adapting to and driving initiatives in digital health care. With these digital initiatives have come challenges, including data overload, security and privacy concerns, deficits in technological and health literacy skills, and sorting through the vast number of choices of digital applications. Navigating this changing landscape can be overwhelming and time consuming for both health care providers and consumers. Librarians are uniquely positioned to assist providers and consumers to break down barriers within the digital health care landscape through data management initiatives, technology and health literacy instruction, and finding and evaluating health information and digital health technologies.

    Abstract This study introduces "Specialis Revelio," a sophisticated text pre-processing module aimed at enhancing the detection of disguised toxic content in online communications. Through a blend of conventional and novel pre-processing methods, this module significantly improves the accuracy of existing toxic text detection tools, addressing the challenge of content that is deliberately altered to evade standard detection methods.•Integration with Existing Systems: "Specialis Revelio" is designed to augment popular toxic text classifiers, enhancing their ability to detect and filter toxic content more effectively.•Innovative Pre-processing Methods: The module combines traditional pre-processing steps like lowercasing and stemming with advanced strategies, including the handling of adversarial examples and typo correction, to reveal concealed toxicity.•Validation through Comparative Study: Its effectiveness was validated via a comparative analysis against widely used APIs, demonstrating a marked improvement in the detection of various toxic text indicators.

    Abstract Metal ions are indispensable to all living systems owing to their diverse roles. Perturbation of metal homeostasis have been linked to many pathological conditions. As such, visualizing metal ions in these complex environments are of utmost importance. Photoacoustic imaging is a promising modality that combines the sensitivity of fluorescence to the superior resolution of ultrasound, through a light-in sound-out process, making it an appealing modality for metal ion detection in vivo. In this review, we highlight recent advances in the development of photoacoustic imaging probes for in vivo detection of metal ions, such as potassium, copper, zinc, and palladium. In addition, we provide our perspective and outlook on the exciting field.
