Evaluating medically at-risk drivers: a survey of assessment practices in Canada.
Abstract BACKGROUND: Assessing medical fitness to drive (FTD) can include both off- and on-road testing, although consistency of practice is unclear. PURPOSE: To examine actual practices being used to assess FTD at driver assessment centres (DACs) across Canada. METHOD: Surveys e-mailed to 90 DACs were returned by 47 assessors. FINDINGS: The majority of respondents (89%) were occupational therapists. Assessors reported doing an average of eight FTD assessments per month (range = I to 40) at an average cost of $366 (SD = $225; range = $40 to $985).

Suitability of the 6CIT as a screening test for dementia in primary care patients.
Conclusion: The 6CIT's psychometric properties in a real-world setting suggest that the test is not suited as a routine screening instrument. Factors inherent to screening in primary care likely contributed to its low reliability and validity. This highlights the need for training GPs in the conduct of cognitive screening before such procedures can be implemented on a routine basis. PMID: 24256425 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Accidental hypothermia and local cold injury: physiological and epidemiological studies on risk
ConclusionsHypothermia and cold injury continue to cause injury and hospitalisation in the northern region of Sweden. Assessment and management is not standardised across hospitals. With the identification of groups at high risk for fatal hypothermia, it should be possible to reduce the incidence, particularly for highest risk subjects: rural, living alone, alcohol imbibing, and psychiatric diagnosis‐carrying citizens. Long‐term cold‐weather training may affect hand‐rewarming patterns after a cold provocation, and a warmer baseline hand temperature with faster rewarming after a cold provocation may be associated wi...
