Article Abstract
Objectives: Investigate availability and clarity of online abortion access information in Canada and identify, through the lens of a minor, if websites provide a clear answer to: "Can I get an abortion without my parents' permission?"
Methods: Using ChoiceConnect, 139 abortion providers and 17 health resource websites were identified for analysis. Provider information was searched to discover associated website. Identified websites were searched using Boolean operators for plain-language keywords on abortion access for minors ('abortion,' 'consent,' 'permission,' 'parent,' or 'age,') followed by manual searches. Results were classified as: 1- no abortion information; 2- no consent information; or 3- included consent information. Those that included consent information were further categorized thematically as either 1- statements that parental consent is not required; 2- statement regarding capacity to consent; or 3- stating an age of consent. These categories overlapped in some cases.
Results: Of the 139 providers, 72 had identifiable websites. Of those, 14 (19%) did not mention abortion and 28 (39%) provided information about parental or age of consent. Among those 28, 20 (74%) stated no parental consent was required, 10 (37%) mentioned capacity to consent, and 6 (22%) indicated an age to consent. Overall, 75% of providers and resources did not have a website, mention abortion, or provide consent information.
Conclusion: There is a lack of clear information online about minors' abortion care access without parental consent. Absence of information presents a substantial barrier to abortion care access for minors.

Background: A clear understanding of minimal clinically important difference (MCID) and substantial clinical benefit (SCB) is essential for effectively implementing patient-reported outcome measurements (PROMs) as a performance measure for total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Since not achieving MCID and SCB may reflect suboptimal surgical benefit, the primary aim of this study was to use machine learning to predict patients who may not achieve the threshold-based outcomes (i.e.

Background: Fish are the largest group of vertebrates. Studying the characteristics, functions, and interactions of different fish cells is important for understanding their roles in disease and evolution. However, most single cell RNA-seq studies in fish are restricted to a few specific organs, leaving a comprehensive cell landscape that aims to characterize the heterogeneity and connections among body-wide organs largely unexplored.

Background: Identifying suspected anterior circulation large-vessel occlusion (aLVO) strokes during emergency calls could enhance dispatch efficiency, particularly in rural areas. However, data on emergency medical dispatchers' (EMDs) ability to recognize aLVO symptoms remain limited. This simulation study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of identifying side-specific arm paresis, side-specific conjugate eye deviation (CED), and aphasia during emergency calls by instructing layperson callers to perform brief, standardized examination steps.
