⚠️ Shocking: ~40% of adults in Canada are unaware of the life-threatening condition of sepsis, and 75% aren't aware of vaccines as preventative strategies!

Highly recommend Jim Weese’s (@DrWeese) The Grandpa Rules: Essential Lessons for Success in Life and Leadership. (Teaser - it's not just for kids...)
In fact, we have posted the “10 Rules” in our home as a daily reminder of their importance to our family. @WesternU
Using cannabidiol (CBD) during pregnancy may come with risks to the fetus. New study by #SchulichMedDent's @DBHardyLab, led by Kendrick Lee, found exposure to CBD while pregnant could potentially lead to early cardiac function deficits in male offspring.

Congratulations @DavidHessLab on such an important study! Heart disease hits South Asians earlier and harder. Blood vessel repairs offer clue as to why: study https://t.co/T1XNj6cpTz

A new study led by @DBHardyLab shows that even moderate exposure to CBD during pregnancy is linked to post-birth glucose intolerance.
"This is a critical finding, given that CBD is widely marketed and perceived to be a safer option."

I may say something more profound later, for now it is just: "Yes! it is out...."

“Few people know that more people die of sepsis than of heart attack. About one in three who get sepsis will die within one month. It is worse than cancer, worse than heart attack, and worse than heart failure.”

Using advanced research techniques, including a form of artificial intelligence, @lawsonresearch scientists have discovered unique patterns of blood plasma proteins in patients with suspected #longCOVID that could help improve outcomes.🦠
