Abstract Weightlessness during spaceflight can harm various bodily systems, including bone density, muscle mass, strength and cognitive functions. Exercise appears to somewhat counteract these effects. A terrestrial model for this is head‐down bedrest (HDBR), simulating gravity loss. This mirrors challenges faced by older adults in extended space environments. The first Canadian study, backed the Space Agency, Institutes of Health Research, Frailty Network, aims explore issues. study seeks...

Introduction: The high burden of comorbidities among patients with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) may contribute to the low use guideline directed medical therapies (GDMT) that improve CV outcomes, including sodium glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) and glucagon-like-peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1RA). Hypothesis: DECIDE-CV clinic at McGill University (Montreal, Canada) is a novel synchronous healthcare program whereby T2D are seen each visit simultaneously by cardiologist,...
