I am interested, where Glyphosate and its metabolites can already be found in the environment as wildlife plants and animals and agricultural plants and animals, soil biomes and rivers. Do you know good survey studies with dedected concentrations and dedected limits of Glyphosate and AMPA in plant parts like roots, stem, bark, leaves or fruits and in animal organs and urine? Here in Austria glyphosate residues in European hare (Lepus europaeus) are just of special interest in stomach and urine. Many thanks for your answers! J HUMER
Even though the Canadian health care system is driven by universal health coverage,with high quality of service still it is suffering from major setbacks: waiting times in the ER is still long ranging 8-12 hours, long waiting lists for patients to be admitted for elective surgeries, still not all procedures and treatments are covered by the government, aging population is growing- The baby boomer generation- and occuping large number of beds hard to tranfer them to other health institutions that could provide palliative treatments for these patients. So, what are the plans, that are put forward by the health policy makers in Canada, for the coming next decade to absorb all these problems?
I am conducting a comprehensive review of the literature.
I'm looking to understand how a country investments in surgical trainee (education of resident and fellow) can be cost effective assessed in regard of maintenance of adequate health care system and to constantly improve the quality of care provided.
New generation of surgeons spend several years in residency and fellowship and society/countries that invest in their training not always integrate them in their health care system forcing new trained surgeons to move to other healthcare system. This transfer can be see as a lost of investment for the society left and an acquisition of free profit for the society accepting the professional.
Does anybody address this issue and evaluate the impact of doctor transfer among different healthcare/country system?.
Does anyone have experience applying lean principles in behavioral health OP setting? What resources/training tools were used and how was the implementation mapped out - by program, task, or some other design?

"FIFA's partners include soft-drink firm Coca Cola and its sponsors include fast-food giant McDonald's and beer company Budweiser... Kicking the unhealthy sponsorship habit, FIFA, would be an excellent start." (Lancet. 2014;383(9934):2020 and Moodie R, et al. Profits and pandemics: prevention of harmful effects of tobacco, alcohol, and ultra-processed food and drink industries. Lancet 2013;381:670-9.)"
I observe that different political parties often use conflicting information/data to back up their position. Usually this data is information that would not stand up in a peer reviewed journal. Rarely do UK politicians refer to a scientific peer reviewed journal. Often the mainstream political party’s become the servants of public opinion and re-shape their policies to match the populist view.

Or should he or she also ensure that these findings find a way to a) non-scientific public and b) the implementing authorities / institutions (a practical reference provided)? I have made it my habit to any scientific contribution to compose another layman's contribution and to publish in order to create the possibility of practical implementation. All non-academic partners are extremely grateful for it. Without access to databases they would probably know nothing about these results and findings. Other ways to make research applicable?
It would seem that regardless of the structure or legislation attached to Policy & Procedure that human error is not the greatest problem we have with clinicians. Non compliance to process rears up time and time again. What tactics/campaigns are others using in an attempt to improve non compliance? What studies are currently in process to address this? All helpful comments are appreciated.
