    COVID-19 test positive rate in Northern Health tops 25 per cent

    The seven-day average for Northern Health on Feb. 23 was 25.7 per cent after peaking at 31.2 per cent on Feb. 9.

    This means that for every 100 laboratory tests done in the Northern Health region 26 are coming back positive.

    By contrast, on Feb. 23 the seven-day average in Vancouver Coastal Health was four per cent after peaking at 20.8 per cent on Jan. 4.

    On Feb. 23 the test positive rate in Fraser Health — that is B.C.’s largest health region — was 6.6 per cent.

    Interior Health was 17.2 per cent and Vancouver Island Health was 20.6 per cent.

    Fewer than 700 people receive a first dose of vaccine on Wednesday

    The B.C. Ministry of Health says 672 people received a first dose of vaccine on Wednesday, bringing that total to 90.6 per cent of British Columbians aged five and up.

    Latest data shows 6,459 people got a third booster shot on the same day, while 2,650 people got a second dose.

    Nine people died from the disease over the past day and there are 29 active outbreaks in health care facilities.

    B.C. doctor gets misconduct warning over ‘misleading’ social media posts

    A disciplinary panel will hold a hearing about alleged misconduct by a B.C. doctor after he made “misleading, incorrect or inflammatory” statements about COVID-19 on social media.

    The B.C. College of Physicians and Surgeons has issued a citation for Charles Douglas Hoffe, a family doctor who practises in and around Lytton and Kamloops.

    The college alleges Hoffe’s online comments contravened the standards of the Health Professions Act including the Canadian Medical Association’s code of ethics and professionalism.

    Among the wrong or inflammatory statements Hoffe is alleged to have published online around April 2021 include that “ivermectin is an advisable treatment for COVID-19” and that “the public obtain ivermectin from animal feed stores.”

    Some violation tickets dropped in B.C., many more go unpaid

    While about 2,700 tickets totalling almost $2 million have been issued, ICBC says only 736 have been paid. About 390 tickets have been cancelled, withdrawn, determined “not guilty” or remain in progress, with 417 more in dispute.

    Crown prosecutors recently stayed 25 tickets totalling almost $58,000 issued to representatives of four B.C. churches accused of contravening COVID-19-related public health orders last winter.

    Simon Fraser University criminologist Robert Gordon speculated more tickets could be stayed if Crown decides it is no longer in the public interest to pursue them as B.C. moves from “pandemic to endemic.”

    “It is not unusual for certain changes in the law to be preceded by withdrawal of charges,” he said, pointing to various cannabis-related charges that were stayed in advance of legalization. “Crown may indirectly follow the direction of political decisions.”

    Alzheimer’s Q&A: Be present for affected friends, family | Health/Fitness

    What will make mates and spouse and children members frequently shy absent from a liked 1 with Alzheimer’s ailment or other dementias?

    There are lots of misconceptions about Alzheimer’s that direct to worry of Alzheimer’s sickness and other dementias. Damaging public images and stereotypes associated with these problems generally add to the absence of engagement and socialization with individuals experiencing the illness.

    The unfortunate fact of Alzheimer’s condition and other dementias is that as the condition progresses, family members and close friends of the Alzheimer’s household will diminish over time. It appears to be that associations falter or fade away as a result of the extended and at any time-worsening span of the condition approach of nearly a ten years or a lot more. Most likely the phenomenon of the disappearing buddies and loved ones users can be reasoned as a lack of knowledge of the disease or extra so, that other folks are emotionally unable to witness how the disease is changing their beloved person with the debilitating disorder. “I never know what to say,” or “I really do not know what to do with him/her” are common responses, for occasion, from very well-intentioned mates and family customers who slowly action back again from the partnership with the impacted personal. Although these reactions could evoke inner thoughts of anger and/or disappointment from caregivers, they must be acknowledged as basic instincts of human mother nature and as an consciousness of the great want for modern society to get educated about Alzheimer’s ailment or other dementias.

    Without a doubt, positive alterations start with studying, and fading household members and friends can treatment their uneasiness by way of gaining more expertise about the disease and by acquiring open and honest conversations with the caregiver and the person with the ailment. Caregivers can present updates about their cherished ones, how the disease is progressing, and the influenced individual’s likes and dislikes. They can be the “teachers” of relatives and pals by supplying communication strategies, techniques to technique, expressing thoughts above specifics, and not to be patronizing or dismissive, and to often enter into the actuality of the influenced individual. Additional importantly, folks with Alzheimer’s and other dementias are completed adults and should be treated as this kind of in that way. Earlier mentioned all, it arrives down to just becoming present, regardless of whether to pay attention to jumbled phrases or hold a hand in silence to chortle at tales instructed over and more than and to not choose the affected individual’s steps or behaviors and to be that household member or good friend who has built the journey with that individual prolonged in advance of and hopefully, extensive just after the analysis. The affected personal is only modified by the condition and although relationships will modify, way too, spouse and children and good friends can temperature the hills and valleys together and no longer disappoint or damage cherished types with their absenteeism.

    A 2012 report from Alzheimer’s Condition Intercontinental (ADI) said that a few-quarters of individuals with Alzheimer’s and other dementias and two-thirds of caregivers mentioned that others understand those with Alzheimer’s or other dementias negatively. This stigma of the disease and its consequences of lost relationships are only heading to be reduced through education and awareness and more, by participating spouse and children and close friends additional in the disease journey, by expressing the realities of the disease, and by remaining advocates for community coverage and analysis funding.

  • Cherishing the Prize: Health Tips for Heart Month

    Cherishing the Prize: Health Tips for Heart Month

    Coronary heart disorder is a silent killer — but it doesn’t have to be.

    Shocking, but true: just about 50 percent of ladies about the age of 20 will encounter some variety of cardiovascular sickness in their lifetimes. But that problem doesn’t have to have to be a dying sentence: To honor American Coronary heart Month, we checked in with our beloved Dr. O — aka J. Nwando Olayiwola, MD, MPH, FAAFP, the Chief Overall health Equity Officer for Humana Inc. Here, she shares what she’s discovered about heart attacks, how you can retain on your own in stellar condition, and why you ought to have a “health companion.” (And for even more details, check out Katie’s interview with Dr. O on this essential topic.)

    A several many years in the past, a pal of mine invested 48 hrs searching for somebody to address her jaw suffering. She was a in shape, center-aged girl who maintained her schedule health care appointments and heeded her doctor’s normal information to observe her pounds and incorporate additional action into her days. But the jaw agony she was suffering from would not go absent. Just after a temporary phone call to her dentist, a informal chat with a health practitioner at the supermarket, and some well-intentioned advice from a neighbor promising “herbal aid,” she relented. Her spouse insisted on getting her to the clinic.  

    Following a few several hours in the crisis section, her fingertips commenced to tingle and a wave of nausea hit. Assuming it was just connected distress, she even so informed a nurse of her most current symptoms.

    The crisis place went into complete court docket press. She was in the throes of a heart attack. 

    Holding a Pulse on Our Heart Wellness

    For lots of in the non-health care earth, heart attacks are imagined as chest-gripping scenes with a remarkable collapse, codes termed, paddles in hand, and that infamous shout of “Clear!” 

    But as a doctor, I know that coronary heart assaults rarely unfold so cinematically. They ordinarily start out gradual and obtain momentum, restoration requires much extended, and the indicators of a cardiac function may possibly appear a ton distinctive for males and women of all ages. 

    Gals are also at a a great deal greater chance of coronary heart ailment than males. 

    In truth, although only a person in 5 ladies believe we’re prone, just about half of us more than the age of 20 will have some type of cardiovascular ailment in our lifetimes. It is no question coronary heart condition is the foremost trigger of death among the gals – a silent killer.

    It’s also generally preventable. And when heart overall health, like all well being, is not just a to-do listing, there are some great tactics to retain you in the know — and that could keep you out of the ED:

    1. Have an understanding of your figures — specifically blood stress, cholesterol, and your chance for diabetes. Inadequate control of any of these elements appreciably boosts the chance of coronary heart condition, and all can be easily tracked, analyzed, and (quite routinely) managed with your health practitioner and treatment team.

    2. Talking of numbers, age issues. In our youth, oral contraceptives may correlate with greater threat of cardiovascular condition. Pregnancy brings on a full array of stress to the system that can manifest in the coronary heart, together with pre-eclampsia, which is much more prevalent in Black females than any other team and might be connected with cardiovascular disorder later on in lifestyle. As we age, hormonal alterations and menopause welcome their possess suite of actual physical calls for. Attentiveness to improvements in our physique — vitality, temper, bodyweight loss and obtain, sleep designs, skin and hair improvements — is vital to keeping on best of what may perhaps be brewing beneath the floor. 

    3. Head your patterns. Smoking, too much ingesting, or even really occasional, leisure drug use impacts heart health and fitness. This incorporates the a great deal-touted day by day glass of wine, which can undermine the two coronary heart health and psychological well being. There are plenty of means to curb these behaviors, and numerous change the temporary pressure relief we achieve from indulging a craving with the sustained dopamine we get from peer assist teams and companionship. 

    4. Keep in mind that your coronary heart is linked to your head. Our heart is in essence a bodily recorder of all the feelings that operate by means of our thoughts: our tension, our self-doubt, our insecurities, and our fears. That signifies we can dote on our hearts by shelling out time processing what is heading on in between our ears. By recognizing predicaments that cultivate joy or elevate anxiety, for illustration, we can do additional to foster the former fairly than latter. 

    5. Come across a associate. I have recommended a large amount of drugs and remedies in my career, and have been asked countless numbers of instances by patients for that a person magic get rid of-all. Here it is: there is almost nothing greater for the coronary heart than a health and fitness companion. A close friend. A person who you can be accountable to and for. When individuals cholesterol quantities fall a couple of points or the zipper on your most loved costume goes up just a very little less difficult, they’re your cheerleading squad. We all need a pal to share our overall health journeys with. Share walks or bicycle rides. FaceTime following yoga. Relish joys and bemoan stressors. Swap a balanced recipe. And have a excellent outdated-fashioned, soul-cleansing cry or chuckle.

    Toni Morrison at the time wrote, “The conquer and the beating heart, appreciate that… Additional than eyes or feet. Far more than lungs that have still to attract cost-free air. More than your lifestyle-keeping womb… adore your heart. For THIS is the prize.”

    So cherish that prize, gals. 

    To hear additional about Dr. Olayiwola’s standpoint on women’s coronary heart wellbeing and well being fairness, hear to her keynote chat at the Go Crimson for Females luncheon in Central Ohio this month (commencing about 17 minutes into the movie, FYI).
