  • Growing Measles Outbreak, We Are Focusing On The Southern And Central Zones, Alberta’s Chief Medical Officer

    Growing Measles Outbreak, We Are Focusing On The Southern And Central Zones, Alberta’s Chief Medical Officer

    Canada Global(Web News) Alberta’s Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Mark Joffe has spoken about the measles situation in Alberta and how Albertans can protect themselves, saying that a measles outbreak is spreading across Canada, including Alberta. As of April 11, we have seen 58 confirmed cases in the province, and we are closely monitoring the increasing cases within the southern and central zones.

     

    While the number of cases is concerning, I want to let Albertan know that public health officials are managing cases and contacts and working with affected community leadership.

    “As of April 11, an estimated 48 confirmed cases of measles have passed their communicable period (when the person can transmit measles to another person). However, it is important to note that this does not necessarily reflect the risk in the community as there may be individuals who have not been diagnosed with measles, including those who are circulating it in the province, not reflecting the number of people who have not been diagnosed with measles.

    “Measles is more serious than other common childhood illnesses. It can cause pneumonia, brain swelling and even death. Early symptoms of measles include fever, cough, runny nose, red eyes and a blotchy red rash that appears three to seven days after the fever starts.”

    “In light of the measles outbreak across the province, I want to remind all Albertans that this outbreak is highly preventable. Albertans can keep themselves and those around them safe by ensuring that their measles immunizations are up-to-date. Contracting measles can have serious consequences.

    “The measles vaccine is safe and highly effective in preventing infection and complications and is readily available to eligible Albertans. To see if you are eligible to receive the vaccine, you can call the Immunization Booking Line at 811 between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. for the Calgary or Edmonton zones.

    “Alberta Health is providing regular updates on measles cases at alberta.ca/measles, including expanded data for age groups, estimated data for those outside their contact period and information on the immunization status of cases and the number of immunization doses received.”

    “It is important that Albertans do their part to stop the spread of measles. For more information, please visit alberta.ca/measles.

  • Study finds Microplastics in nearly all seafood samples

    Study finds Microplastics in nearly all seafood samples

    Canada Global (Web News) A recent study has revealed extensive microplastic contamination in seafood, highlighting potential risks to human health. Researchers found microplastics in 99% of 182 seafood samples collected from stores and fishing boats in Oregon, with shrimp showing the highest levels.

    The study identified that 80% of the detected microplastics were fibers from clothing and textiles, emphasizing the significant impact of synthetic materials. Co-author Elise Granek from Portland State University noted that widespread plastic use makes contamination in food inevitable.

    Microplastics have been found in water sources globally, and food is a key exposure pathway. Previous studies have detected them in various meat and produce products, raising further concerns about their presence in the food chain.

    These pollutants can contain thousands of chemicals, including PFAS, bisphenol, and phthalates, which have been linked to cancer, hormone disruption, and neurotoxicity. They can also cross critical barriers in the body, increasing the risk of severe health conditions.

    Despite these findings, researchers do not advise avoiding seafood, as microplastics are present in many food sources. However, rinsing food before consumption may help reduce exposure.

  • Gaza babies dying from cold as winter temperatures plummet

    Gaza babies dying from cold as winter temperatures plummet

    Canada Global (Web News) Yahya al-Batran tightly held the clothes of his newborn son, Jumaa, who tragically died from the cold just days after being born in their makeshift tent in war-torn Gaza.

    “We are watching our children die before our eyes,” said Yahya, 44.

    Jumaa was one of seven children who perished from the freezing temperatures within a week, according to Gaza’s health ministry. The Batran family, displaced from Beit Lahia due to bombings, now faces an even greater threat: the bitter cold.

    “We fled the bombings, only for them to die from the cold here?” said Noura al-Batran, the child’s mother. Noura, still recovering from a premature birth, now cares for her surviving twin, Ali, who is being treated in an ICU in southern Gaza.

    The family, like many others in Gaza, lives in a fragile tent in Deir el-Balah, constructed from worn blankets and fabric. As temperatures plummeted to 8°C (46°F), they struggled to stay warm and dry amidst heavy rains.

    “We don’t have enough blankets or proper clothing. I saw my baby freeze, his skin turned blue, and then he died,” Noura sobbed.

    The twins were taken out of an incubator in the absence of heating, leaving them vulnerable to the harsh conditions.

    In another part of Gaza, Mahmoud al-Fasih found his infant daughter Seela “frozen from the cold” in their small tent near al-Mawasi beach. Despite rushing her to a hospital in a designated “humanitarian zone,” she was already dead from hypothermia.

    Another child, Aisha al-Qassas, also succumbed to the cold in the same region.

    “In Gaza, everything leads to death,” said Aisha’s uncle, Mohamed al-Qassas. “Those who don’t die from bombings die from hunger or cold.”

    The Hamas government warned that worsening weather in the coming days poses a “real threat” to the two million displaced people in Gaza, most of whom are living in tents. Dr. Ahmad Al-Farra, a hospital director, warned that the cold, combined with a lack of heating, will likely lead to more deaths, particularly among children and the elderly.

    China claims full transparency in sharing COVID-19 details

    Canada Global (Web News) Beijing asserted on Tuesday that it had shared all available information on COVID-19 openly and transparently, following calls from the World Health Organization (WHO) for more data and access to investigate the virus’s origins.

    COVID-19, first identified in Wuhan in December 2019, caused widespread devastation globally, resulting in millions of deaths, severe economic disruptions, and overwhelmed healthcare systems.

    On Monday, the WHO issued a statement emphasizing the importance of China providing additional information, calling it a “moral and scientific imperative.”

    In response, China defended its contributions, claiming to have played a pivotal role in the global effort to trace the virus’s origins.

    “China immediately shared epidemic information and the viral genome sequence with the WHO and the international community five years ago,” said Mao Ning, a spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry. She further stated, “We shared our prevention, control, and treatment experience comprehensively and without reservation.”

    However, the WHO has previously criticized China for insufficient transparency and cooperation during the pandemic.

    In early 2021, a WHO-led team, along with Chinese researchers, conducted an investigation into the origins of the pandemic. Their joint report supported the theory that the virus likely spread from bats to humans via an intermediary species, possibly at a market.

    Despite these efforts, WHO experts have not been permitted to return to China since the initial investigation. The organization has repeatedly called for further data.

    On Tuesday, Mao suggested that emerging evidence indicates the virus’s origins may have a broader, global context. She also emphasized China’s commitment to collaborating with international partners to advance scientific research into the origins of the virus and to help prevent future infectious diseases.
