Article Abstract
The purpose of this article is to describe 2 quality improvement projects aimed at embedding 2 of the 4Ms into the electronic health record for system-wide spread of Age-Friendly care. The 2 projects described in this case study serve as exemplars for the future implementation and sustainability of 4Ms care. Rapid-cycle quality improvement projects, via the Plan, Do, Study Act model, focused on the 4Ms were conducted by interprofessional teams to integrate clinical decision support for clinicians within the electronic health record. Project Senior Care Review for Evaluating and Eliminating Non-essential and potentially inappropriate medications (SCREEN) embedded a geriatric medication screen into the ordering panels of the top medications identified as being prescribed to older patients potentially inappropriately. Project Predictive Real-time Evaluation of Delirium in Clinical Therapy (PREDICT) embedded a delirium prediction rule in the electronic health records to guide clinicians to implement delirium mitigation interventions on patients at risk of developing or experiencing delirium. Outcomes were evaluated descriptively utilizing data and reports generated by the electronic health record. Embedding non-interruptive and actionable clinical decision support in the electronic health record supported the rapid spread of Age-Friendly care across a 7-hospital system. The 4Ms can be embedded into existing workflows through novel implementation of best practices by leveraging the electronic health record. By embedding 2 of the 4Ms into existing workflows and creating non-disruptive, actionable clinical decision support within the electronic health record, clinicians have the tools to implement Age-Friendly care within the 4Ms framework. Additional projects aimed at embedding the other Ms are underway, and long-term outcomes are being evaluated.

Background: The estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR) is a validated surrogate marker of insulin resistance. However, its association with stroke and dementia in nondiabetic populations remains insufficiently investigated.
Methods: This prospective cohort study included nondiabetic participants from the UK Biobank.

This paper explores the interrelations between medical specialisation, the changing division of medical labour and the technologies that have emerged to coordinate and integrate patient care. Drawing on the examples of the United Kingdom and the United States, countries whose health systems provide important points of commonality and distinction, I explore the intersections between the rise of medical specialisation and the creation of new medical and paramedical roles. These roles have often emerged as a palliative to the increasing fragmentation and atomisation of medical labour, to 'assist' overburdened clinicians and provide better coordinated and integrated patient care.

Background: Early-onset preeclampsia poses significant risks to maternal and fetal health, necessitating a deeper understanding of its molecular mechanisms and effective therapeutic strategies.
Methods: Utilizing data from genome-wide association study and Mendelian randomization analysis, we investigated the relationship between mitochondrial DNA copy number and preeclampsia. Transcriptome sequencing, in vitro experiments, and animal studies were conducted to explore the roles of SENP3 and SETD7 in preeclampsia pathogenesis.

Background: Genetic variation contributes to atrial fibrillation (AF), but its impact may vary with age. The Research Program contains whole-genome sequencing of data from 100 574 adult participants with linked electronic health records.
Methods: We assessed clinical, monogenic, and polygenic associations with AF in a cross-sectional analysis, stratified by age: <45 years (n=22 290), 45 to 60 years (n=26 805), and >60 years (n=51 659).

Objective: Transvenous lead extraction (TLE) is used in various clinical scenarios, such as device-related infections. Mechanically powered sheaths are one of the most commonly used tools for TLE procedures. We evaluated the procedural and clinical outcomes of a novel extraction technique for chronically implanted leads in the treatment of device-related infections.
