Whatever we've been taught, it seems like the lessons aren't sticking these days. And the most obvious result is the dramatic resurgence of a sexually transmitted infection that was once rare in this country: Syphilis. It's not the only STI with rates on the rise, but it is the most troubling—especially cases of congenital syphilis, in which a pregnant mother transfers the infection to her unborn baby.Why have syphilis and other STIs returned with a vengeance? Is it a matter of education and prevention? Or is it a symptom of a larger problem?GUEST: Dr. Vanessa Allen, Medical Microbiologist and Infectious Diseases Physician at Sinai Health; Associate Professor at the University of Toronto We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes.

A new “highly mutated” COVID variant has shown up in several countries. Can we expect to see this latest variant here in Canada and should we be concerned? We discuss with Dr. Isaac Bogoch, Infectious Diseases Physician and Scientist from the Toronto General Hospital.   Next, we catch-up with Deborah Yedlin, President and CEO of the Calgary Chamber. This time out, Deborah shares the Chamber's views on the current housing and affordability crisis and what action the organization would like to see from the Federal government.   Canada's population is aging, and the risk of dementia could add strain on our healthcare system. We hear details on a new study focusing on how you can reduce your risk for dementia by up to 40 percent through simple lifestyle changes.

COVID-19 might be the most infamous infectious disease at this point in time, but it is by no means the only one that we need to worry about. From dengue to rabies, SARS to tuberculosis, influenza to HIV, infectious diseases can significantly impact a population's health because of how it can spread from individual to individual. On this episode of Humans of Healthcare, we speak to consultant ID physician Dr Yasmin Gani on what her job looks like both before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, and what it takes to become an ID physician.

In early May, the World Health Organization announced that COVID-19 is no longer considered a public health emergency of international concern, or PHEIC. Following the announcement, the Ministry of Health will conduct a review of Malaysia's COVID-19 status in mid-June. What does the ending of COVID-19 as a PHEIC mean for Malaysia - what kind of pandemic preparedness protocols will continue to be important, considering COVID-19 will not be the last infectious disease outbreak seen by the world? And what should all of us bear in mind, with regard to vaccination, ventilation and masking?

Infectious Diseases Physician and former National Deputy Chief Medical Officer, Dr Nick Coatsworth spoke with Oliver Peterson on Perth Live to discuss WA's current Covid challenges and what the new normal will look like.  Two years deep into the pandemic, Dr Nick Coatsworth believes it's finally time to look forward to the end of this Covid wave and to do so, we need to stop making Covid the centre of our conversations.  "What Covid has done is unpack other issues in our health system, where if we keep focusing on Covid itself we might miss some of the real opportunities to reform our system," he told Oly.  Oly further asked Dr Coatsworth what his perspective is on the current caution and anxiety that's in the air due to a flux of Covid cases and hospital admissions. "I think it's clear that unless there is a substantial change in Covid-19, we will not go back to any severe restrictions. Essentially we would need a new pandemic virus to consider lockdowns," Dr Coatsworth said.  "You've said it Oly, we have to live with it. Which means we have to have policies that enable us to do so and we don't have that at the moment."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this Healthed lecture, hear from Infectious Diseases Physician and Clinical Microbiologist, A/Prof Paul Griffin, on how this mosquito-transmitted disease has already killed a handful of people, and is likely to become more common, courtesy of record-breaking rainfall and warm temperatures. Pigs are the animal host of the virus, and already at least 20 Australian farms have been found to have the infection among their livestock, raising concerns that the virus could spread to the country's millions of feral pigs.
