If the missing children project is just a research exercise then they re losing it cautioned Michael Ca Hagee head of the National residential school survivors society. The research should go ahead Only after the commission has a protocol in place to help families Deal with grief. For Many confronting the remains of missing or Long dead relatives will be a Shock he said. The society is one of More than half a dozen aboriginal Church government and archival groups working with the Indian residential schools truth and reconciliation commission on the missing child working group. The commission has confirmed a massive research project to find out what happened to children who died at the schools or never returned Home. Meanwhile lawyers participating in the commission into Indian residential school abuse have tabled a proposal aimed at moving the stalled process Forward. The $ 60 million five year truth and reconciliation commission was derailed Only months after it began when its head Justice Harry Laforme suddenly resigned last week. Lawyers for the Federal government and representatives from the Catholic anglican United and presbyterian churches gathered in a closed door meeting in Toronto on wednesday to discuss the proposal with members of the Assembly of first nations and inuit officials. The contents of the proposal Are not being disclosed while the groups review it. The Surprise resignation of Laforme Canadas first aboriginal appellate court judge waylaid an already stalled investigative forum into decades of widespread sexual and physical abuse in the now defunct schools. Laforme has said disagreements arose Over whether his role As chairman gave him authority to overrule the two other commissioners on the panel. Alexandra. Paul free press. My. Ca with files from Canadian press a $ 10 generic drug could potentially save thousands of critically ill canadians from fatal infections according to a new study by two Winnipeg doctors. Intensive care physicians or. Ryan Zarichanski and or. Anand Kumar studied the effect of heparin a cheap blood thinner that dates Back to the 1950s in intensive care patients treated for septic Shock Between 1989 and 2005. Sepsis is the second most common cause of death in intensive care units infection spreads throughout the body and can Lead to Organ failure. Experts estimate there Are As Many As 70,000 cases of sepsis in Canada and about 400 cases of septic Shock in Winnipeg intensive care units every year. Patients typically receive antibiotics to treat the infection but about half of patients will die. Currently there is Only one drug other than antibiotics approved to treat sepsis and it costs about $ 10,000 for one patient. Research teams in Winnipeg and Ottawa Analysed medical records of 695 Winnipeg ice patients with septic Shock who received heparin for suspected heart attacks or blood clots and 695 patients with septic Shock who did not. The study found patients with severe sepsis who were Given heparin lowered their risk of death by 30 per cent. Overall there were 15 per cent fewer deaths among patients Given heparin. The findings Are published in the november Issue of critical care Medicine. An old drug like this should be studied because it probably works just As Well As the new drug thatus so expensive Zarichanski said during a phone interview from Ottawa. It would be so wonderful to have a drug to treat severe infections and have this therapy available to people around the world who would never have Access to an expensive drug. Zarichanski said the stud yes findings Are controversial since they refute the idea that cutting Edge pricey drugs Are the Best medical solution. He said theress no incentive for pharmaceutical companies to study generic medicines like heparin since theress no profit in it. The study was funded by the University of Manitoba and health sciences Centre foundation and Zarichanski is currently submitting a proposal for additional Money to do a randomized clinical trial next year. The proposed trial has already generated interest from researchers outside Canada and Zarichanski Hopes that if the drug works doctors could be using it for septic Shock in the next couple of years. You re talking about a dirt cheap drug that can potentially save thousands of lives in Canada per year Kumar said. There Are some really simple ideas in Medicine that should be revisited and looked at that have been ignored. Jen. Skerritt free press. My.
