    Background: The CanMEDS physician competency framework will be updated in 2025. The revision occurs during a time of disruption and transformation to society, healthcare, and medical education caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and growing acknowledgement of the impacts of colonialism, systemic discrimination, climate change, and emerging technologies on healthcare and training. To inform this revision, we sought to identify emerging concepts in the literature related to physician competencies. Methods: Emerging concepts were defined as ideas discussed in the literature related to the roles and competencies of physicians that are absent or underrepresented in the 2015 CanMEDS framework. We conducted a literature scan, title and abstract review, and thematic analysis to identify emerging concepts. Metadata for all articles published in five medical education journals between October 1, 2018 and October 1, 2021 were extracted. Fifteen authors performed a title and abstract review to identify and label underrepresented concepts. Two authors thematically analyzed the results to identify emerging concepts. A member check was conducted. Results: 1017 of 4973 (20.5%) of the included articles discussed an emerging concept. The thematic analysis identified ten themes: Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Social Justice; Anti-racism; Physician Humanism; Data-Informed Medicine; Complex Adaptive Systems; Clinical Learning Environment; Virtual Care; Clinical Reasoning; Adaptive Expertise; and Planetary Health. All themes were endorsed by the authorship team as emerging concepts. Conclusion: This literature scan identified ten emerging concepts to inform the 2025 revision of the CanMEDS physician competency framework. Open publication of this work will promote greater transparency in the revision process and support an ongoing dialogue on physician competence. Writing groups have been recruited to elaborate on each of the emerging concepts and how they could be further incorporated into CanMEDS 2025.Contexte : Le rĂ©fĂ©rentiel de compĂ©tences CanMEDS pour les mĂ©decins sera mis Ă  jour en 2025. Cette rĂ©vision intervient Ă  un moment oĂč la sociĂ©tĂ©, les soins de santĂ© et l’enseignement mĂ©dical sont bouleversĂ©s et en pleine mutation Ă  cause de la pandĂ©mie de la COVID-19; on est aussi Ă  l’heure oĂč l’on reconnaĂźt de plus en plus les effets du colonialisme, de la discrimination systĂ©mique, des changements climatiques et des nouvelles technologies sur les soins de santĂ© et la formation des mĂ©decins. Pour Ă©clairer cette rĂ©vision, nous avons tentĂ© d’extraire de la littĂ©rature scientifique les concepts Ă©mergents se rapportant aux compĂ©tences des mĂ©decins. MĂ©thodes : Les concepts Ă©mergents ont Ă©tĂ© dĂ©finis comme des idĂ©es ayant trait aux rĂŽles et aux compĂ©tences des mĂ©decins qui sont dĂ©battues dans la littĂ©rature, mais qui sont absentes ou sous-reprĂ©sentĂ©es dans le cadre CanMEDS 2015. Nous avons rĂ©alisĂ© une recherche documentaire, un examen des titres et des rĂ©sumĂ©s, et une analyse thĂ©matique pour repĂ©rer les concepts Ă©mergents. Les mĂ©tadonnĂ©es de tous les articles publiĂ©s dans cinq revues d’éducation mĂ©dicale entre le 1er octobre 2018 et le 1er octobre 2021 ont Ă©tĂ© extraites. Quinze auteurs ont effectuĂ© un examen des titres et des rĂ©sumĂ©s pour relever et Ă©tiqueter les concepts sous-reprĂ©sentĂ©s. Deux auteurs ont procĂ©dĂ© Ă  une analyse thĂ©matique des rĂ©sultats pour dĂ©gager les concepts Ă©mergents. Une vĂ©rification a Ă©tĂ© faite par les membres de l’équipe. RĂ©sultats : Parmi les 4973 articles dĂ©pouillĂ©s, 1017 (20,5 %) abordaient un concept Ă©mergent. Les dix thĂšmes suivants sont ressortis de l’analyse thĂ©matique : l’équitĂ©, la diversitĂ©, l’inclusion et la justice sociale; l’antiracisme; humanisme des mĂ©decin; la mĂ©decine fondĂ©e sur les donnĂ©es; les systĂšmes adaptatifs complexes; l’environnement de l’apprentissage clinique; les soins virtuels; le raisonnement clinique; l’expertise adaptative; et la santĂ© planĂ©taire. L’ensemble de ces thĂšmes ont Ă©tĂ© approuvĂ©s comme concepts Ă©mergents par l’équipe de rĂ©daction. Conclusion : Cet examen de la littĂ©rature a permis de relever dix concepts Ă©mergents qui peuvent servir Ă  Ă©clairer la rĂ©vision du rĂ©fĂ©rentiel de compĂ©tences CanMEDS pour les mĂ©decins qui aura lieu en 2025. La publication en libre accĂšs de ce travail favorisera la transparence du processus de rĂ©vision et le dialogue continu sur les compĂ©tences des mĂ©decins. Des groupes de rĂ©daction ont Ă©tĂ© recrutĂ©s pour dĂ©velopper chacun des concepts Ă©mergents et pour examiner la façon dont ils pourraient ĂȘtre intĂ©grĂ©s dans la version du rĂ©fĂ©rentiel CanMEDS de 2025

    Vigorous lateral export of the meltwater outflow from beneath an Antarctic ice shelf

    The instability and accelerated melting of the Antarctic Ice Sheet are among the foremost elements of contemporary global climate change1, 2. The increased freshwater output from Antarctica is important in determining sea level rise1, the fate of Antarctic sea ice and its effect on the Earth’s albedo4, 5, ongoing changes in global deep-ocean ventilation6, and the evolution of Southern Ocean ecosystems and carbon cycling7, 8. A key uncertainty in assessing and predicting the impacts of Antarctic Ice Sheet melting concerns the vertical distribution of the exported meltwater. This is usually represented by climate-scale models3–5, 9 as a near-surface freshwater input to the ocean, yet measurements around Antarctica reveal the meltwater to be concentrated at deeper levels10, 11, 12, 13, 14. Here we use observations of the turbulent properties of the meltwater outflows from beneath a rapidly melting Antarctic ice shelf to identify the mechanism responsible for the depth of the meltwater. We show that the initial ascent of the meltwater outflow from the ice shelf cavity triggers a centrifugal overturning instability that grows by extracting kinetic energy from the lateral shear of the background oceanic flow. The instability promotes vigorous lateral export, rapid dilution by turbulent mixing, and finally settling of meltwater at depth. We use an idealized ocean circulation model to show that this mechanism is relevant to a broad spectrum of Antarctic ice shelves. Our findings demonstrate that the mechanism producing meltwater at depth is a dynamically robust feature of Antarctic melting that should be incorporated into climate-scale models

    Funder: European Society of Intensive Care Medicine; doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100013347Funder: Flemish Society for Critical Care NursesAbstract: Purpose: Intensive care unit (ICU) patients are particularly susceptible to developing pressure injuries. Epidemiologic data is however unavailable. We aimed to provide an international picture of the extent of pressure injuries and factors associated with ICU-acquired pressure injuries in adult ICU patients. Methods: International 1-day point-prevalence study; follow-up for outcome assessment until hospital discharge (maximum 12 weeks). Factors associated with ICU-acquired pressure injury and hospital mortality were assessed by generalised linear mixed-effects regression analysis. Results: Data from 13,254 patients in 1117 ICUs (90 countries) revealed 6747 pressure injuries; 3997 (59.2%) were ICU-acquired. Overall prevalence was 26.6% (95% confidence interval [CI] 25.9–27.3). ICU-acquired prevalence was 16.2% (95% CI 15.6–16.8). Sacrum (37%) and heels (19.5%) were most affected. Factors independently associated with ICU-acquired pressure injuries were older age, male sex, being underweight, emergency surgery, higher Simplified Acute Physiology Score II, Braden score 3 days, comorbidities (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, immunodeficiency), organ support (renal replacement, mechanical ventilation on ICU admission), and being in a low or lower-middle income-economy. Gradually increasing associations with mortality were identified for increasing severity of pressure injury: stage I (odds ratio [OR] 1.5; 95% CI 1.2–1.8), stage II (OR 1.6; 95% CI 1.4–1.9), and stage III or worse (OR 2.8; 95% CI 2.3–3.3). Conclusion: Pressure injuries are common in adult ICU patients. ICU-acquired pressure injuries are associated with mainly intrinsic factors and mortality. Optimal care standards, increased awareness, appropriate resource allocation, and further research into optimal prevention are pivotal to tackle this important patient safety threat
