Angiography
Anyone who's had a heart trouble knows you have to pinpoint
the source of the problem. And all your doctor needs is
a hollow tube and a bottle of dye. Well, it's a bit more
complicated than that but our medical professor Dr. Paul
Caldwell makes angiography easy to understand.

Muscles

do your flexor carpi radialis and your palmaris longus have
in common? Well, they're just 2 of hundreds
of muscles and all of them fascinate Dr. Paul Caldwell.

Testicular
Cancer
It wasn't that long ago that nobody talked about
breast
cancer or prostate cancer. Now of course that's changed.
The taboo is gone, and there's information everywhere about
early detection and prevention.
But there's another type of cancer that's only recently
started to get attention. Testicular cancer is the leading
type of the disease in men
aged 20 to 44. And for a lot of men it's still a taboo subject.
Now, some people are determined to change that. http://www.cancer.ca/files/testicularcancer_e.pdf
Hormone Replacement Therapy
Millions of Canadian women on hormone replacement therapy
were shocked earlier this year when they found out the hormones
they‚d been taking did more harm than good.
A major U.S. study found that the combination of estrogen
and protestin increased the risk of heart disease, stroke
and breast cancer.
Women are still asking what they should do and here to help
answer those questions are Dr. Paul Goss, an oncologist
at Princess Margaret Hospital and Dr. Sandy Messner, the
medical director of HealthWatch at Sunnybrook and Women's
College Health Sciences Centre.

Lice
They're tenacious, they like girls more than boys, and once
they've found a warm home, they're almost impossible to
turf out. Head lice. They're not particular about clean
or dirty heads, any scalp will do. And as anyone who's done
battle with them knows, nitpicking
an be a nightmare…even for the pros.
Controlled
Drinking
If you abuse alcoholic can you be taught to control your
drinking? There's a fine line between a problem drinker
and an alcoholic and ten years ago a program was developed
to help so-called problem drinkers control their intake.
DrinkWise was controversial then but has it made a difference
in people's live? Dr. Karen Spivak is a psychologist and
runs a DrinkWise program. Dr. Graeme Cunningham is the director
of addiction treatment at the Homewood Health Centre in
Guelph.
