CBC News, 19 July, 2010
First Nations leaders are welcoming the federal government's move to ensure pandemic flu plans are up to date, but they also want Ottawa to broaden its interest in health-care planning.
This summer, the federal government is hiring people to make sure influenza pandemic plans in First Nations communities stay current.
Last year's H1N1 outbreak hit some aboriginal communities particularly hard. A large number of body bags were sent to a reserve in northern Manitoba, and there were debates over who should pay for hand sanitizer and masks.

Solution for smoking could be in the genes
Health Zone, 19 July, 2010
It started with a pack of Players stolen from her dad, who bought cigarettes by the carton to save money. Sasha Manoli knew where he kept them — in a kitchen cupboard. She snatched a pack on the day she decided to smoke. She was 14.
After meeting her friend, the teenagers went to Laurentide Park, which lies besides the Don Valley Pkwy. near York Mills Rd. It was winter. They went over to a pine tree and lay down under it in the snow. Manoli lit one cigarette and “half-smoked,” barely inhaling.
“I really remember the smell and the taste, but I can't describe it,” she said. “But there was something very distinct.”

Avastin fails to slow breast cancer: FDA
CBC News, 16 July, 2010
Federal health scientists said Friday that followup studies of a Roche breast cancer drug show it failed to slow tumour growth or extend patient lives, opening the door for a potential withdrawal in that indication.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Roche's blockbuster Avastin in 2008 based on early-stage trials showing it shrank tumours caused by breast cancer. The decision was controversial because drugs for cancer patients who have never been treated before must usually show evidence they extend lives.
Avastin's so-called "accelerated approval" was based on the condition that later studies would show a survival benefit.
But in briefing documents posted online, FDA reviewers said two followup studies recently submitted by Roche failed to show that Avastin significantly extended lives compared to chemotherapy alone.

Your address could make you fat
Health Zone, 15 July, 2010
You want to lose weight? Live near a supermarket — but far away from restaurants.
In a recent study, researchers at the State University of New York at Buffalo looked at women’s body mass index in relation to their neighbourhoods’ food amenities.
They found that women who lived near a supermarket tended to have a lower body mass index, meaning they were less likely to be obese, than those closer to a convenience store. Most convenience stores don’t offer healthy foods such as fresh fruit and vegetables or whole-grain products.

Toronto landfill threatening health of SW Ont. First Nation, chief says
CBC news, 14 July, 2010
MUNSEE-DELAWARE NATION, Ont. - A southwestern Ontario First Nation says a landfill used by the City of Toronto is threatening the community's water supply.
Toronto purchased the Green Lane landfill near St. Thomas, Ont., in April 2007.
Chief Patrick Waddilove says the accelerated use of the landfill is negatively impacting the health of Munsee-Delaware Nation residents, who use untreated well water.
There are three First Nations located in the area _ Oneida Nation of the Thames, Chippewas of the Thames and Munsee-Delaware Nation.

MS patients fight for access to new 'Zamboni' treatment
Health Zone, 9 July, 2010
A month after Italian vascular surgeon Dr. Paolo Zamboni’s controversial report on treating multiple sclerosis made headlines in November 2009, an elated Jamie Chalmers went to his neurologist and handed him a stack of print-outs on the new findings.
Without so much as a glance, the neurologist tossed the papers in the garbage. He told Chalmers it was nothing but junk science.
“I was devastated,” said Chalmers, a 40-year-old Guelph motor coach driver diagnosed with MS two years ago. He is now looking for a new neurologist. “How can a doctor not be interested in what his patient wants?”
The same scenario, pitting hope against science, is being played out in neurologists’ offices across the country as people diagnosed with the debilitating disease demand the so-called “liberation treatment” and wary neurologists tell them to forget about it.

Mental Health Care for Kids 'Fractured'
Health Zone, 9 July, 2010
The mental health care system for children is “fractured” and needs better oversight, say critics after a Toronto Star investigation found a psychiatric centre was locking up kids who didn’t belong there.
“The role of oversight is not taken as seriously as I think it should be,” Irwin Elman, Ontario’s Children and Youth Advocate, told the Star.
Elman’s comments came after the Star revealed that the provincially funded Youthdale Treatment Centre admitted children to its secure treatment unit even though they did not have a mental disorder. Within the last two years, the Child and Family Services Review Board ordered released nearly half of the children who appealed their placements in the centre’s secure unit.

Depression may raise risk of dementia, study shows
Health Zone, 5 July, 2010
People who struggle with prolonged bouts of depression may face nearly twice the risk of developing dementia, according to a study by researchers at the University of Massachusetts, the most long-term study of its kind.
“We need to pay more attention to depression and understand that it can have serious, long-term effects,” says Jane Saczynski, author of the research to be published Tuesday in Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.

Activity no fix for fat kids: study
CBC news, 7 July, 2010
Physical activity is not the solution to childhood obesity, a British study suggests.
The study of 202 children over three years concluded that excess weight reduces activity, but activity does not affect weight.
"Physical inactivity appears to be the result of fatness rather than its cause. This reverse causality may explain why attempts to tackle childhood obesity by promoting physical activity have been largely unsuccessful," an abstract of the study said.

Aboriginal babies more likely to die: study
Access to urban health care doesn't lower mortality rates
Last Updated: Thursday, June 17, 2010
The Canadian Press
An extensive study of infant mortality in Manitoba has shown that the death rate for aboriginal babies is more than twice the Canadian average and doesn't improve no matter how close their mothers live to sophisticated health-care facilities.
Although infant mortality among non-aboriginals declined with proximity to cities, the rate remained stubbornly high for First Nations women, says a new report published in the Journal of Rural Health.
"First Nations infants do not seem to have similarly benefited from the better health-care facilities in urban centres," the report says.

Vancouver: Canada's hate-crime capital, says Stats Can
Complaints have almost doubled between 2007 and 2008
Vancouver now carries the dubious title of hate-crime and gay-bashing capital of Canada.
According to figures released by Statistics Canada on Monday, police-reported hate crimes in Vancouver almost doubled from 79 in 2007 to 143 in 2008 — including 34 hate attacks motivated by the victim's sexual orientation, by far the highest ratio of gay-bashing crimes among major Canadian cities.

Aboriginals to tell commission residential school truths
The Canadian Press
WINNIPEG—The head of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission on residential schools says the stories of survivors will no longer be relegated to the sidelines of Canadian history.
Manitoba Justice Murray Sinclair says the commission will allow aboriginals to talk about what happened to them at the schools and their stories will finally get the attention they deserve.
Sinclair was speaking Wednesday at the opening of the commission's first public hearing in Winnipeg.
He said no one will be forced to speak of abuse suffered at the schools, but if survivors choose to come forward they will have the commission's full attention.
“To all those who wish to share their experience with us, I promise you this: if you have something to tell, we will hear you. You will not be questioned. You will not be asked to prove anything. You do not have to share anything that you do not wish to share.
“You will be provided with supports to assist you. You will be treated with respect. You will be treated with dignity.”

Public Forum: The Politics of Poverty and Public Health
The World Health Organization says health inequalities result from
“a toxic combination of poor social policies and programmes, unfair
economic arrangements, and bad politics.”
Canadians might well ask: “Why is it so hard to reduce poverty and close
the health equity gap in such a rich country?”
A panel of eminent political and public health leaders, as part of the
Canadian Public Health Association Centennial Conference, will reflect on
this challenge and debate the politics of the way forward.
Everyone welcome!

Health Impact Project: Advancing Smarter Policies for Healthier Communities
The Health Impact Project, a collaboration of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and The Pew Charitable Trusts, is a national initiative designed to promote the use of health impact assessments (HIAs) as a decision-making tool for policymakers. HIAs use a flexible, data-driven approach that identifies the health consequences of new policies and develops practical strategies to enhance their health benefits and minimize adverse effects.
The Health Impact Project will promote the use of HIAs by:
• Creating a national center of excellence housed at Pew and providing the coordination and infrastructure needed to establish HIAs as a well-recognized field in the United States;
• Demonstrating the effectiveness of HIAs by funding a series of HIA demonstration projects in various sectors and throughout various regions of the country;
• Building a training and technical assistance network that will support a new group of HIA practitioners and engage and strengthen current HIA practice centers;
• Completing two major federal-level HIAs to address policies of great importance to health in the United States and validate the effectiveness and importance of this tool; and
• Researching and broadly disseminating a review of existing laws, regulations and policies that might support the use of HIAs and help practitioners find new opportunities to implement them.

New South Asian Health Equity Report
“A Diagnosis for Equity: An initial analysis of South Asian health inequities in Ontario” is a new report on South Asians and Health Inequities.
Over the past two years, the Council of Agencies Serving South Asians (CASSA) has worked closely with community providers and other stakeholders to build a strategy to promote health equity for South Asian Communities in Ontario. This work included consultations with close to 150 participants from over 60 organizations and key expert interviews.
A Diagnosis for Equity combines the findings from these consultations with a scan of existing research to show that South Asian communities in Ontario experience health disparities that are symptoms of social inequity. This exploratory report indicates that these disparities must be addressed through coordinated community-based action that challenges the social determinants of health, like racialization and poverty, and puts forth recommendations for action.
