Post
Polio Sydrome
At
the time, they called themselves "the lucky polios"
-- people who survived the polio virus, fought their way
back from paralysis, and went on to lead full and productive
lives. But decades after their original polio, thousands
of these survivors are discovering they have post polio
syndrome – a progressive and debilitating condition
with symptoms that are all too familiar.
Bioterrorism
If
you think anthrax scares have been rampant since September
11th, just wait until flu season hits. It seems the
symptoms are the same, raising the possibility that everyone
with a sore throat will think "anthrax" rather
than the much more likely influenza. We thought it
was time for a reality check on anthrax, smallpox and other
types of germ warfare. And interview with Gavin Clark,
professor of microbiology in the faculty of medicine at
the University of Toronto.

Crohn's
Disease
Until
recently, it was a disease no one wanted to talk about,
or raise money for, or admit they had. But with the
emergence of a new drug therapy, Remicaid, Crohn's disease
is slowly coming out of the closet. We'll meet
three members of one family who've lived most of their adult
lives with Crohn's.
Farming
and Antibiotics
Alot
of us are aware that antibiotics are over-prescribed, and
that it's leading to the creation of antibiotic-resistant
superbugs. And the World Health Organization has just
reiterated that patients need to stop pressuring their doctors
for drugs that won't fight their virus anyway. But
the WHO also singled out farmers and veterinarians for contributing
to the superbug problem.
