Eight had abnormal pH levels, indicating GERD, but 42 of the 44 babies were on reflux medication. Older people are not laying down new bone.

At this point, I'd say it's an association," she said Monday from Winnipeg. "There are a number of potential reasons why proton pump inhibitors might have this effect, but we need to do further research to answer those questions.

If you're going to be on it a long time, the jury's still out as to what you should do." "If you're on one of these medications and think you may be at risk for osteoporosis or you have osteoporosis or you've had a fracture in the past, it's a good time for you to make an appointment with your doctor, to discuss why you're on these medications" and whether it's necessary to continue.

The statement of claim alleges Parkinson's death was caused by the ER physician's negligence and that the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority is also liable, since it failed to retain competent doctors trained in treating patients with chest pain. When you're working in a system in crisis it's often the patient and their families who pay the price," [Myrna Driedger] said.

On Aug. 8, the $1-million Saul Sair Health Centre at Siloam Mission will celebrate its unofficial launch. Late pharmacist Saul Sair left a $1-million donation in his will to be used to help Winnipeg's homeless and Siloam Mission was selected for Sair's gift. [Rebekah Peters] said the idea is to look after people who frequent the mission for food and shelter and can't, won't or don't otherwise have access to health care. She said some people are turned away from other clinics and have nowhere to go but the emergency room because they smell strongly of solvents or are known substance abusers.
