Five questions to understand microbiota
Microbiota. It is the latest fashion in the health and nutrition sectors. But what is it exactly? Le Journal Métro discussed with Dr. Jean-Pierre Routy, hematologist-immunologist at the Royal Victoria Hospital to try to understand that universe.
Can exercising to ‘blow off steam’ cause a heart attack?
The simple answer is yes — but the real answer is a bit more nuanced. Dr. Mitch Shulman, ER Department attending physician at the MUHC, spoke to The Suburban about a recent study by McMaster University and published in the journal Circulation that shows a correlation between heart attacks and working out to blow off steam when you are emotionally upset.
Pedestrians beware!
Dr. Mitch Shulman also spoke with The Suburban about the increased risk to pedestrians in the fall. As Halloween approaches, you may be making special preparations so that your children are safe as they go trick or treating, but they aren’t the only ones who need to be careful at this time of the year. As a pedestrian your risk of being involved in an unpleasant encounter with an automobile, bicycle or motorcycle increases in the fall. Wherever you live (and there are studies from different places in North America and even Australia), it’s confirmed. The risk is increased even more in the early morning and evening hours.
