Join us as psychiatrists Dr. Julie Anderson and Dr. Sean Stanley unravel the complexities of Bipolar Disorder. In the second and final part of our series on mood disorders, they discuss the diagnosis of Bipolar disorder, including the distinctions between Bipolar I and II,  as well as pharmacologic and psychosocial therapies for patients with bipolar disorder. This discussion of Bipolar disorder is ideal for medical learners, physicians, and anyone curious about the subject. We will be discussing manic, hypomanic, and major depressive episodes in our discussion of Bipolar Disorders. Full diagnostic criteria for those episodes can be found in Section 2 of the DSM-V under Bipolar and related disorders. References: 1. The Sydney Bipolar Screener 2.

We're pleased to bring you another season of The Overhead, and we begin by checking back on a topic we've been tracking from the start: community land trusts. This time, we're focusing specifically on the "community" aspect of land trusts. We've spoken about the benefits of removing certain land from the market, preserving it as affordable housing in perpetuity. But how do land trusts help longstanding cultural communities so they can continue to call their neigbourhoods home? We see different communities turning to land trust model as a way to avoid displacement, or reassert cultural ownership over land they've traditionally called home: in the traditionally Black neighbourhoods of Hogan's Alley in Vancouver and Africville in Halifax, or in Toronto's Chinatown. To answer this, we spoke to Nat Pace, network director of the Canadian Network of Community Land Trusts, and Chiyi Tam, managing director of the Toronto Chinatown Land Trust. As Tam puts it, when we talk about the heritage of a place, we spend a lot of time speaking about the buildings or the character. We lose sight of what really makes a place: "Heritage is the people, it's not the buildings. And affordability is a core function to do heritage preservation work, in and amongst all of our communities — whether that's dragon dancing or whether that's the literal existence of Africville." How can ownership over land help preserve our diverse communities?

Today, we're going to explore how we communicate and interact with older adults and how cultural diversity shapes their experiences and quality of life. My guest today is Dr. Rose Joudi, who brings over 15 years of expertise as an Aging and Ethnic Diversity Consultant. She is currently the Research Lead on an ethnocultural elder abuse awareness project with Carya (Calgary, AB), she brings a rich academic and research background to her roles in esteemed organizations like the Canadian Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse. Her commitment to enhancing the lives of older adults through educational strategies and compassionate care is crucial for our understanding of older adult care in diverse communities. Throughout our conversation, we discussed how to communicate with older adults with dignity and respect, the importance of cultural competence among caregivers, and the challenges and opportunities presented by the cultural diversity of those in senior living communities. Dr. Judy shared insights into how we can honor the personal and cultural histories of our older adults and those who care for them. She offered valuable advice for caregivers and professionals working in this field. Whether you're a caregiver, a professional in senior living, or someone interested in the well-being of older adults, this conversation is for you. Here is my interview with Dr. Rose Joudi.

In this feature segment of asPERusual, guest listener and patient partner Kathy Smith offers a short recap and her key takeaways from last week's episode focused on the SPOR National Training Entity (NTE) Passerelle. She also leaves you with "points to ponder," including her vision for the future of Canadian patient engagement in research based on her personal experiences and all we've heard in Season 2 to date. Whether you haven't yet listened to last weelk's episode or you have and are interested in hearing someone else's take on it, this short (~10 minute) segment is for you! Episode Transcript:Episode Transcript:Anna:Hi everyone! Welcome back to onePERspective. A tri-weekly segment in which patient partner Kathy Smith shares a synopsis and key reflections from the previous week's episode of asPERusual – a podcast for practical patient engagement. Today, Kathy Smith will be discussing the episode in which Annie LeBlanc and Yvonne Pelling came to talk about the Strategy for Patient-Oriented Research National Training Entity Passerelle, or NTE as its known for short. The Strategy for Patient-Oriented Research, also known as SPOR for short, is a national coalition that was created by Canada's major public funder of health research, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, to champion and support patient-oriented research. As a reminder, patient-oriented research focuses on patient and public identified priorities and outcomes and engages patients and the public as members of the research team (which is referred to in Canada as patient engagement in research). The NTE is a network of networks that was funded by SPOR to increase capacity for patient engagement and patient oriented research. You might want to check out our website, asperusual.substack.com, if you want help keeping all of those details straight. Ok. Enough from me. I'll turn it over to you Kathy for your onePERspective.Kathy Smith:Thanks, Anna. Here's another enlightening episode for anyone interested in engaging in patient oriented research. In my last personally speaking, I asked our listeners to consider dreaming big for a pan-Canadian network of networks. Et voila!! Voici! Here it is! SPOR has already got that started. SPOR? SPOR is the Strategy for Patient-Oriented Research. Members Yvonne and Annie enthusiastically enlightened us about the potential of SPOR's National Network of Networks they call the National Training Entity (NTE). Yvonne and Annie tell us NTE aims to build capacity by gathering all POR and PER lessons learned to create training courses and mentoring activities that help make connections to empower patients and researchers alike. Training and mentoring tools are to be developed for managers and funders as well. How? They describe NTE as building “little bridges” (or “passerelles” en francais) that can perform as connectors, catalysts, and facilitators to build PER4POR capacity. PER — patients engaged in research — for POR — patient oriented research. The network of networks can be used by patients wishing to engage in research (known as PEiRs). Researchers wishing to know more about patient-oriented research or to find PEiRs to help in their research can gain access through the passerelles as well. NTE's mandate is to connect its user to the right training in the right context for the right person in the right setting, at the right time. Moreover, NTE's passerelles facilitate connections. The NTE aims to short circuit connecting the right research engagement need to the right PEiRs to fill the need. I'm hoping that all these national capacity building connections, these passerelles (I like that word a lot) will help to transform the traditional research landscape into a much warmer, safe space, an equitable patient engaged in research environment that facilitates PER 4 POR: Patients Engaged in Research for Patient-Oriented Research. Key messagesFor me, the three key messages gleaned from Yvonne and Annie's SPOR-NTE presentation are: Know yourself and be clear in articulating what you can contribute to the research. Shakespeare told us centuries ago: “To thine own self be true.” Bring your authentic self when partnering in research. Academic knowledge is always enriched and enlightened when the research is grounded and relevant and bridged with the authenticity of real world experiences. Interdisciplinary collaboration: More and more and more in the 21st century, we're going to see this as the norm for conducting research. We can all benefit from training to join forces and to engage collaboratively in patient-oriented research. Critical thinking skills and creativity are not the exclusive realm of the academic experts. Amalgamating lived experience expertise into the PER4POR research landscape will move us beyond the traditional ways of thinking about and conducting research in separate silos. Patients, researchers, clinicians and policymakers can build capacity and research with, by, and for patient partners with access to this powerful pan-Canadian SPOR NTE support. Personally speaking, points to ponder Yvonne and Annie, like all the other podcasters before, have told us how to successfully interact. Bring your authentic self. Be open minded. Keep calm and steady and results-focused. Attitude is everything. Attitude, not aptitude, determines altitude. Interdisciplinary, interprofessional and inclusive research is becoming the modus operandi for the 21st century. Are we able to build equitable partnerships or do we need some extra training? Building relationships seems to be the secret sauce for successful patient engagement in research. Will the NTE be able to equip the different stakeholders with effective collaborative communication skills? As of today, SPOR's ambitious pan-Canadian Network of Networks National Training Entity is just a repository of PER4POR resources and tools. I dream of growing the training entity to include POR navigators charged with managing all PER4POR activities. A navigator passerelle will be of an enormous bridging benefit to all POR stakeholders. What is needed next for NTE to hire navigators to train, to connect, and to mentor patient partners engaged in research and the researchers wanting to engage them? How can we encourage research, public, and private funders to financially support a navigator agency? How can we show them this agency would decrease time and increase the efficiency for researchers burdened with these added PER4POR tasks right now?Anna:Thanks so much Kathy! You always manage to distill episodes so nicely. I know that a major component of engagement is interpersonal connection, but I wonder if there's some role for artificial intelligence to help make your navigator idea a large scale reality? Otherwise, or maybe in tandem, I think that a peer-to-peer individual or group buddy system could also help make your idea a sustainable one. Lots to think about, which is one of the many reasons I love your segment. Thanks so much for inspiring it and always making time for it.I'll be back in 2 weeks, so on April 22, with season 2 episode 6 of asPERusual. On it I will be talking with Tracy McQuire and Linxi Mytkolli from Diabetes Action Canada, a SPOR network focused on bringing patients, their caregivers, and researchers together to identify the health concerns of those living with diabetes and to co-create research projects that address these concerns. If you're looking for something to keep your patient engagement in research juices flowing until then, I've got just the thing for you. Our friends and colleagues at the Patient Advisors Network have just released a report titled, Reimagining the Research Landscape. In this report, they offer insights from 262 patient and caregiver partners about how CIHR/SPOR can foster and provide support at all levels to better support patients and caregivers in partnering in research. When you're really inspired after reading this report, consider checking out a study by my colleagues and I that applied a participatory process to investigate future directions for Canadian patient engagement in research. Its titled “Future directions for patient engagement in research: a participatory workshop with Canadian patient partners and academic researchers” and free to everyone to read in a journal called BMC Health Research Policy and Systems.Until next time, please be sure to check out our website (asperusual.substack.com) for resources from today's episode, and an interactive transcript from this and previous episodes.

This episode explores lifestyle psychiatry, a holistic approach incorporating daily, accessible behaviours such as diet and physical activity to improve mental health. We take a deep look at a particular pillar of lifestyle psychiatry, mind-body practices, with a special focus on Yoga and its potential to boost your mental health. ‍

Being sad or feeling hopeless is a normal part of human existence appearing and disappearing and reappearing with the ebbs and flows of life. But when symptoms of a depressive episode last for more than two weeks, and begin to get in the way of one's day-to-day life, that's when a person meets the criteria for Major Depressive Disorder, or MDD, which is one type of the DSM-IV's depressive diagnoses and one of many different mood disorders. The prevalence of MDD in Canada is higher than other mood disorders such as bipolar disorder and anxiety disorders (discussed in our next episode!) like generalized anxiety disorder and social phobia. Because of its prevalence, many areas of treatment are available to those who are struggling with clinical depression, including talk therapy, changing diet and exercise, medication, and brain stimulation therapies.This episode's guest, Tammy, shares with us that she began experiencing symptoms of MDD when she was in grade school. While depressive disorders tend to begin later in life and global data suggests that the median age for the onset of symptoms is 26 years old, a study from the United States showed that depression can be diagnosed as young as three years of age. Interestingly, a study from Korea showed that the age at which a person experiences their first major depressive episode may be correlated to a variety of different clinical indicators, like the frequency in which MDD episodes recur, that play a key role in one's clinical prognosis of MDD and its outcomes. In this episode, we learn about a few of Tammy's family members, one of whom also struggles with their mental health. Given the hereditary, or genetic, predisposition to mental disorders, it is common for some mental illnesses, like bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and depression, to run in the family. But when discussing the “nature” side of things, we mustn't forget about the “nurture”. We've also seen that the environmental factors like one's family structure, exposure to traumatic events, and much more can increase rates of mental health problems. Fast FactsGlobally, depression is estimated to occur among 1.1% of adolescents aged 10 to14 years, and 2.8% of 15- to 19-year-olds. More than a quarter of a million Canadian youth, representing 6.5% of people between the ages of 15 and 24, experience major depression each year.Depression can go unnoticed in children. Some may not talk about their helpless and hopeless thoughts and may not appear sad. Depression might also cause a child to make trouble or act unmotivated causing others to incorrectly label the child as a troublemaker or lazy.In Canada, once depression is recognized, intervention and treatment can make a difference for 80% of people who are affected, which allows them to get back to their regular activities.Learn More about This Episode's Cool ResearchIn this episode, we spoke to Dr. Valerie Taylor, Head of Psychiatry at the University of Calgary, and the namesake for the Taylor Lab. Their main area of research is how the gut influences brain health, known in the literature as the gut-brain barrier. Scientists have already shown a potential for the influence of gut microbiota in diseases like asthma and type I and type II diabetes, to name a few. When it comes to the bidirectional relationship between the brain, gut and microbiome there is a growing amount of evidence that this is a valuable area of research that may have implications on new therapeutic avenues. For example, studies aiming to elucidate the relationship between depression and the microbiome have shown a link between MDD and an imbalance of the gut microbiota's bacterial composition. Some of these studies even reported seeing modest improvements in depressive symptoms following interventions targeting the gut microbiome. Dr. Taylor and her team are interested in whether or not microbiomes from the gut of healthy people can be used as a treatment for those suffering with ailments, and in their case specifically, people struggling with treatment-resistant MDD. In order to get those healthy microbiomes transferred, the Taylor Lab is experimenting with Fecal Matter Transplant, or FMT for short. For their research, the process involves retrieving fecal samples from healthy screened donors, converting those samples into capsules (also known as “poop pills”),and orally administering the capsules to patients. There is a fair amount of evidence to back up the efficacy of FMT in treating disease, in fact, the practice has been reported in literature dating 2,000 years ago. The efficacy of FMT for patients with treatment-resistant MDD, however, continues to be a question the Taylor Lab is working hard to answer. Through this work, Dr. Taylor remains hopeful. In an interview with Mike Fisher for the University of Calgary, Dr. Taylor discusses her team's research. “...[T]he jury is still out on whether we can actually leverage what seems to be a gut-brain connection into the next generation of therapies. There is reason to be excited and to pursue this work and that's what fuels us — the possibility. [...] There has been research that shows if you take bacteria from depressed mice and put it into non-depressed mice, they become depressed. Microbiota are not benign, and we want to ensure people are aware of that. [...] Patients are desperate for new treatments, sometimes the current treatments don't work for everyone or have side effects that are not tolerable. So, people are looking for anything that will help them.”SupportIf you're struggling with your mental health, you're not alone.If you are in immediate danger of harming yourself or others, call 9-1-1, or head to your nearest emergency room.

CANMAT presents a spectrum approach to mixed states. In this podcast, Dr. Jim Phelps delves into this and the DSM-5 approach, where mixed states became a specifier that can be added to a diagnosis of unipolar depression, effectively creating a spectrum approach to the diagnosis of mixed mood disorders.

Welcome to PsychEd, the psychiatry podcast for medical learners, by medical learners. This episode covers depression in children and adolescents with Dr. Darren Courtney, a scientist with the Cundill Centre for Child and Youth Depression and the Margaret and Wallace McCain Centre for Child, Youth and Family Mental Health and a staff psychiatrist in the Youth Addictions and Concurrent Disorders Service at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) in Toronto. He is also an associate professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Toronto.   Dr. Courtney earned his MD in 2004 at Queen's University and completed psychiatry residency in 2009 at the University of Ottawa. He was the clinical director of the Youth Inpatient Unit at the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre from 2009 to 2014 and moved to Toronto in 2014, where he worked on the Concurrent Youth Inpatient Unit at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health until 2017 and where his clinical work with concurrent disorders continues now with outpatient youth.   Dr. Courtney's research focus is on the treatment of adolescent depression through the use of an integrated care pathway — a collaboratively developed treatment algorithm based on high-quality clinical practice guidelines. Through his research, he works on identifying quality practice guidelines and corresponding multi-disciplinary care pathways to facilitate evidence-based and measurement-based care for adolescents with depression. He has also participated in a systematic review and quality appraisal of clinical practice guidelines for psychiatric disorders in children and adolescents. Additionally, he has an interest in the management of concurrent disorders, where young people are affected by both primary psychiatric disorders and substance use disorders.   The learning objectives for this episode are as follows:   By the end of this episode, you should be able to… Outline the prevalence and risk factors for depression in children and adolescents Explain how children and adolescents with depression present in clinical practice Discuss the use of screening tools for depression in this population Describe an approach to the management of depression in children and adolescents Outline the management of an adolescent with suicidal thoughts or behaviours   Guest: Dr. Darren Courtney Hosts: Kate Braithwaite (MD) and Nikhita Singhal (PGY5) Audio editing by: Nikhita Singhal Show notes by: Kate Braithwaite and Nikhita Singhal   Interview Content: Introduction - 0:00 Learning objectives - 02:11 Prevalence of depression in youth - 03:11 Risk factors for depression in youth - 06:25 Diagnosing depression in youth - 08:30 Screening tools - 14:24 Approach to taking a history from youth - 19:45 Management of depression in youth - 30:12 Psychotherapies - 33:20 Medications - 37:37 Assessing and managing suicidality in youth - 44:00 Measurement based care - 51:00 Final thoughts - 55:10   Resources: Previous PsychEd episodes: PsychEd Episode 1: Diagnosis of Depression with Dr. Ilana Shawn PsychEd Episode 2: Treatment of Depression with Dr. Sidney Kennedy PsychEd Episode 18: Assessing Suicide Risk with Dr. Juveria Zaheer ICHOM Set of Patient-Centered Outcome Measures for Children & Young People with Depression & Anxiety Screening tools/rating scales: Revised Children's Anxiety and Depression Scale (RCADS) Mood and Feelings Questionnaire (MFQ) NICE guideline: Depression in children and young people: identification and management NICE guideline: Self-harm: assessment, management and preventing recurrence The CARIBOU Pathway by CAMH: A youth-centered program for the treatment of depression Includes links to download free clinician-specific and youth-specific resources co-developed with youth and mental health clinicians Clinical Innovations and Tools | Cundill Centre for Child and Youth Depression | CAMH Includes links to various tools for health care providers, researchers, youth, and other stakeholders (such as teachers and family members) informed by research evidence   References: Bennett K, Courtney D, Duda S, Henderson J, Szatmari P.

Last season, we talked to a group of people from the Kensington Market Community Land Trust (KMCLT) in Toronto as part of a range of options for non-market housing. Over a year later, we check in with the state of land trusts across the country: where are they, what are their impact, and what do they need to succeed and even scale upward to other communities? Susannah Bunce, associate professor at the University of Toronto's Department of Human Geography, has been researching the KMCLT. She has insight into how land trusts can grow and succeed, and the role they play in combatting displacement: It removes land from the speculative market and holds land, in trust, by the non-profit organization for the purposes of keeping housing and land prices at a lower level for community benefit. That principle of community land trust organizing and the model itself is fundamental to combatting gentrification. Nat Pace is network director for the Canadian Network of Community Land Trusts, and provides a look at trusts across the country, in communities large and small, urban and remote, and the role they play in increasing equity: Right now in Canada, we have quite a few examples of equity-deserving communities using the model. There's a very interesting cluster in Nova Scotia of African-Nova Scotian communities who are looking to develop their own localized community land trusts as a way to create land bases for their communities, and also reclaim land titles that have been lost. What can land trusts do to provide affordable housing and increase equity in this country?

Loops pedals.  Viola.  Art.  Music.  Empathy and Connection.  Kathryn Patricia is sharing about all of these art forms today as we discuss blending music and art, sound journals, growing connection in our community and expressing our emotions through music. Links Website: kathrynpatricia.com Instagram: @kathrynpatriciaviolist Kathryn Patricia Music Invite Kathryn Patricia into your classroom virtually or by video!  Check out masconline HERE. Kathryn Patricia's Bio: Hailing from Canada's Capital region, Loop pedal violist, composer, and educator Kathryn Patricia Cobbler has crafted a singular niche in improvisation and classical performance. She obsesses over creating uniquely arresting soundscapes, whether in solo recitals, composing for theatre, performing at art installations, and more. A recipient of one of Ottawa Arts Council's Emerging Artist awards, she has been featured in Canada's most notable Concert Series, including Chamberfest, Music and Beyond, NUMUS Music Festival, and the Ottawa New Music Creators' Analogue Series to name a few. ​As a seasoned performer, speaker, presenter and workshop facilitator, Kathryn has given masterclasses at Carleton University and was a speaker for the Canadian Network for Arts and Learning Convergence Conference.  As a performing artist and educator, Ms. Cobbler is an artist on the ​MASC Artist roster​ and Teaching Artist at the National Arts Centre.  As a composer, Kathryn has been featured in the Boston based Concert series, ​Castle of Our Skin's ​Black Composers Miniature Challenge, which resulted in the world premier of her piece A Home Called ‘Wander'. Kathryn continues to be inspired by the next generation of composers and improvisers,  having served as an adjudicator for the Canadian Music Showcase and NUMUS Emerging Improvisor competition.  Kathryn Patricia's most recent multidisciplinary collaboration was through an  artist in residency with the Ottawa Dance Directive composing and collaborating for the premiere of Dream & True North envisioned and choreographed by Elizabeth Emond-Stevenson. ​Initially a visual artist, Kathryn sees the world through shape and line—a vision that has laid the groundwork for many of her musical creative projects. Kathryn's current explorations of the loop pedal have led to the development of her workshop/concert, Sound In Living Colour, where she draws connection between the technical use of the paint brush and her viola bow, guiding her listeners through a music inspired painting experience. After switching to music as her artistic path, she would receive degrees in viola performance from Western University (B.M.) and the University of Ottawa (M.M.). Ms. Cobbler has also performed as an orchestral musician, appearing within the Toronto Symphony's Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Ottawa Symphony Orchestra, and the Ottawa Jazz Orchestra. A native of Windsor, Ontario, she makes her home in Ottawa. She performs on a viola by luthier Sibylle Ruppert and a Boss RC-30 loop pedal.

Dr. McIntyre is involved in multiple research endeavors which primarily aim to characterize the association between mood disorders, notably cognitive function and medical comorbidity. His works broadly aims to characterize the underlying causes of cognitive impairment in individuals with mood disorders and their impact on workplace functioning. This body of work has provided a platform for identifying novel molecular targets to treat and prevent mood disorders and accompanying cognitive impairment. Dr. McIntyre is a contributor to the “Florida Medicaid Drug Therapy Management Program for Behavioral Health: Guidelines for the treatment of adults with Major Depressive Disorder and Bipolar Disorder”. Dr. McIntyre is also the co-chair of the Canadian Network for Mood and Anxiety Treatments (CANMAT) Task Force on the Treatment of Comorbidity in Adults with Major Depressive Disorder or Bipolar Disorder and as well a contributor to the “CANMAT Guidelines for the Treatment of Depressive Disorders and Bipolar Disorders”.

In the sixth episode, Linda McQuaig and Ian Thomson discuss the rising fortunes of the billionaire class amid shrinking incomes and opportunities for the vast majority before and during the pandemic. In speaking about the impacts of billionaires on our democratic systems, McQuaig says, “this accumulation of wealth in the hands of billionaires... It's not just that it's tremendously unfair, which of course it is, it's that it gives them so much political power that they get to effectively control the world… The wealthy corporate elite now has so much power that it can effectively block any kind of collective action. And that's exactly what they're doing. The reason that there isn't progress on climate change isn't that the public is resistant. The public would actually like there to be action on climate change. It's the immensely powerful interests in the fossil fuel industries that are single-handedly blocking that.... it's not just unfair they have all that money; it's detrimental to the survival of the human race… So when I talk about a wealth tax, I'm not just talking about it so we can get money from them. I'm talking about a wealth tax that will curb their political power, economic and political power. So they can't control things and prevent us from taking the collective action we need to take.”   According to Thomson, and the most recent Oxfam International report Inequality Kills “Whether it's from the climate disasters that are taking lives. Whether it's the vaccine inequality that means that COVID-19 is taking more lives - these are deaths that could be easily prevented if we had a more equitable vaccine distribution. And people are also being pushed to the brink of  extreme hunger and actually are dying of starvation. These are the sorts of real-life impacts of this extreme wealth inequality, largely in the lowest income countries, but also lower income people in all countries are suffering from. And when you take the numbers, you just see that actually people are dying every four minutes due to inequality. The numbers are so staggering that it is hard to wrap your head around what kind of suffering this is bringing about.” About today's guests:  Award-winning journalist and activist Linda McQuaig is also the author of best-selling books, including: Shooting the Hippo: Death by Deficit and Other Canadian Myths; It's the Crude, Dude: War, Big Oil and the Fight for the Planet; The Trouble with Billionaires (co-authored with Neil Brooks) and most recently The Sport and Prey of Capitalists: How the Rich Are Stealing Canada's Public Wealth.

When we bring dogs from far away into Canada, it is essential that we consider infectious organisms they may also bring into our country as “tag-alongs”. This a veterinarian and molecular-parasitology researcher (who is devoted to tackling zoonotic parasites) shares details on which infections should be top of mind when importing dogs, and describes a cautionary tale of an imported parasitic disease, Leishmania infantum.  Anyone who has been working in veterinary clinics throughout the pandemic will be all-too-aware of the increase in pet-ownership, and specifically, puppy and dog adoption, occurring throughout the past little while. Sometimes it seems that everyone, everywhere is on the hunt for a new furry companion to add to the family, and veterinarians have certainly had their hands full trying to keep up to the increased demand for veterinary medical services. Dog breeders in Canada are taking reservations years into the future for puppies, and prices for puppies are rising. Pet rescue organizations have also been scrambling to fill this “puppy void” – and increasing numbers of dogs are imported into Canada each year from far off locations. Sometimes these dogs are imported from countries where they have a drastically different climate, and potentially very different parasite and infectious disease threats for both dogs and humans. It is impossible to keep every single infectious disease front and centre in our minds, but veterinarians know that when something seems weird or unusual, we need to call in some help. In 2020, this is exactly what happened in Quebec, Canada, when multiple veterinarians noticed some  unusual things in their canine patients. And, as it turns out, these unusual findings were all observed in dogs that were imported to Canada.  Dr. Christopher Fernandez-Prada played an instrumental role in helping veterinarians investigate cases of Leishmania infantum, a parasitic infection. Dr. Fernandez-Prada is currently Director of the parasitology diagnostic laboratory and an assistant professor at the University of Montreal. In addition, he is also an Adjunct professor at McGill University faculty of Medicine, Deputy director of the Animal Infectious Diseases Research Group, and he is a member of the steering committee of the Canadian Network in Neglected Tropical Diseases. Recently, Dr. Fernandez Prada was the first veterinarian to receive the Canadian Institutes of Health Research prize – the Bhagirath Singh Early Career Award in Infection and Immunity.  Links of Interest:  Leishmania infantum infection in a dog imported from Morocco.

Welcome to the People's Voice Podcast. Visit us online at www.peoplesvoice.caThere is a bitter irony in the fact that Cuba, a country which sent emergency medical brigades around the world to help fight the coronavirus pandemic, is forced by the US blockade to confront shortages of medical supplies in its own borders.

He says that in the current situation, “Cuban hospitals, in different parts of the country, are struggling to acquire some very urgently needed items, mainly due to the US illegal blockade.” The three-month campaign launched on January 8 and will raise $50,000 to fill and ship a container with the critical supplies that Cuba needs. “The CNC has obtained a list of some of these items which we are attempting to source from suppliers of medical equipment in the Toronto area.”Read the article in full.

Susannah Bunce and Joshua Barndt (read by Bob Rose) The development of community land trusts in Canada occurred over a 40-year period in two distinct phases. The first generation of Canadian CLTs (1980 – 2012) either combined community-owned land with multi-unit housing cooperatives in Toronto and Montreal or promoted individual homeownership in western and central Canada. More recently, a second generation of CLTs has emerged in cities throughout the country in response to an escalating crisis in affordable housing, taking the form of either community-based or sector-based initiatives. Since 2017, older and newer CLTs have coalesced, via the Canadian Network of CLTs.

This week we present two stories from people who owe a debt of gratitude to somebody for their entrance into the science community. Part 1: A chance meeting with a stranger on an airplane has a huge impact on Melanie Knight's life. Part 2: Joshua Adams-Miller has never seen college in his future, until he receives encouragement from an unexpected source. Melanie Knight is CEO and Co-Founder of Ocean to Eye Level Consulting which supports coastal communities around the world open public marine education centres. Melanie is also the founder and past Executive Director of the Petty Harbour Mini Aquarium, a non-profit education centre in Newfoundland. Melanie had the opportunity to share her story of ‘bringing the ocean to eye level on the TEDx stage in Vancouver, November 2014. Melanie graduated from Memorial University of Newfoundland with a BSc. in Biology and a minor in Business. For the past 10 years, Melanie has been working with the largest and the smallest aquariums in Canada fostering curiosity for the underwater world. Melanie worked at the Vancouver Aquarium as a marine educator and manager of volunteers. Melanie has since been recognized for her work environmental work with the Petty Harbour Mini Aquarium becoming a Fellow of the Royal Canadian Geographic Society, receiving the Newfoundland and Labrador Environmental Award, TechGirls Portraits of Strength and the Canadian Network of Environmental Educators Award in 2014. She lives in Vancouver with her husband and K9. Joshua Adams-Miller was born in 1989, in Sun Valley Idaho, to a family that has been in Idaho since 1873. He grew up in SE Boise under the care of his mother, who provided him more opportunities than anyone could ask for. However, he developed a sense of independence very early. Whether he was riding the city bus alone at 10 years old to get home from summer school programs or organizing large groups of friend to sneak out in the middle of the night, he’s always had a curious mind, and it wasn't beyond him to break the rules if it meant he got to learn something. He has always loved music and learned the viola and saxophone in school and self taught himself the piano and guitar. In his teens, he was sent to a jazz camp on a scholarship to hone his skills on the piano. Over his life, his curiosities have drawn him to the sciences repeatedly but by no means was it a clear path that brought him to his studies at Boise State as a Material Science Engineering Major. Like a sunrise, slowly illuminating the horizon, he realized that the best way for him to contribute to the future he wants to see was to bring to the world the materials that will make it possible.

Interview with Dr. Brandace Winquist, research consultant with the Saskatchewan Health Quality Council, a maternal-perinatal health researcher, and a collaborator with the Canadian Network for Observational Drug Effect Studies. In a research article she co-authored, Dr. Winquist and her colleagues found that the isotretinoin/accutane pregnancy prevention program in Canada was relatively ineffective over a 15-year period in which nearly 60 000 women in 4 provinces received prescriptions for the drug. Risks of maternal isotretinoin therapy to the developing fetus are well recognized.
