By Dr. Colin Lee, Associate Medical Officer of HealthSince 2018, the number of syphilis cases in Simcoe Muskoka has increased fivefold.

The largest increase in cases has been among women, although most cases are still in men. We are also seeing a concerning trend of increased infections in pregnant people and newborns throughout Canada.

Highlights • Two doses AZD1222 and BNT162b2 dose 3 show lower neutralization in older individuals • Reduced neutralization is not related to binding antibody or spike-specific B cell frequency • Reduced neutralization associates with circulating “atypical” B cells in the elderly • T cell responses, especially IL-2 secretion, show age-associated impairment post dose 3 Summary Suboptimal responses to a primary vaccination course have been reported in the elderly, but there is little information...

AbstractSimilar design characterizes neuronal networks for goal-directed motor control across the complex, segmented vertebrates, insects, and polychaete annelids with jointed appendages. Evidence is lacking for whether this design evolved independently in those lineages, evolved in parallel with segmentation and appendages, or could have been present in a soft-bodied common ancestor.

THE SENTENCING OF Bernard Phelan to 6.5 years in an Iranian jail on charges of ‘providing information to an enemy country’ has naturally come as a great worry to his family and close friends.

Phelan’s arrest, detention and sentencing are typical of many foreign nationals in Iran, where the regime has used them as bargaining chips with respective governments.

Property investors are copping a lot of flak recently as rents increase. You only need to look at social media posts that landlords are seen as greedy and mercenary when it comes to rental increases.
