Summer and Sunburn Shouldn't be Synonymous

ST JOHN'S, Newfoundland - May 13, 2013 /Canada NewsWire/ - The Victoria Day long weekend is just around the corner and dermatologists want to remind Canadians to grab the sunscreen as they head outside to enjoy the sunshine. The Canadian Dermatology Association (CDA) feels sun safety and regular skin checks should be part of the everyday routine, which is why they are hosting a public skin cancer screening at the Avalon Mall today.

"With four months of long summer days ahead of us, it's extremely important people start thinking about their skin's health now," says Dr. Ian Landells, St John's dermatologist and regional director of the CDA's Sun Awareness Program "Putting on sunscreen with an SPF 30 or higher, wearing a hat and sunglasses, and seeking shade when the sun's UV rays are strongest are easy changes to work into your day."

Estimates for 2012 expected over 81,000 new cases of skin cancer would be diagnosed. Skin cancer is the only form of cancer that is clearly visible on the skin and one of a small number of cancers that is highly preventable. "Diligence is key to skin cancer prevention and early detection really does save lives," says Landells. The CDA urges all Canadians to make regular at-home skin cancer self-examinations part of their routine and have created a guide, Know the Signs, Save a Life, to help Canadians do just that.

People who need help choosing a sunscreen should look for bottles or packaging bearing the CDA's Sun Protection Program recognition logo. The formulae of these products have been reviewed by CDA member dermatologists and have met the strict approval criteria, through independent laboratory testing.

Making sun safety part of the everyday routine will not only save Canadians from painful sunburns, it will, most importantly, reduce the risk of developing skin cancer.

During National Sun Awareness Week, June 3 - 9, 2013, dermatologists will volunteer at free public skin cancer screenings and other community events.

Canada's National Science Festival is Taking Science to the Streets

World-leading scientists come face-to-face with the public, May 11, 2013. Be There!

TORONTO, May 9, 2013 /Canda NewsWire/ - Science Rendezvous, Canada's largest science festival is opening the doors of over $5-billion in state of the art research laboratories to the public across the country this Saturday.

Science won't just be limited to the lab, this interactive festival takes science to the streets, shopping malls, community centers, hospitals, and universities. There will be a series of stage-show demonstrations at Dundas Square (an outdoor venue in the heart of downtown Toronto) with host Dan Riskin of Discovery's Daily Planet. Plus events unique to Science Rendezvous, including the Amazing Science Chase at the University of British Columbia, Simon Fraser University, University of Windsor, and University of Toronto. Modelled after the TV series, the Amazing Science Chase is a scavenger hunt-style competition that blends a science and physical challenge.

New to the festival this year is the Vaccine Tent at UofT, where participants will learn the stories of patients suffering from various vaccine-preventable diseases. Visitors will also have the chance to meet experts in the medical field, and debunk issues of public health.

Additional new exhibits include a demonstration that allows presenters to hold fire in the palm of their hand, a pool-playing robot, creating invisibility, and the chemistry of fireworks.

Science Rendezvous has something for the whole family, from the chemistry of ice cream to the physics of rock and roll.

Over 2,000 of Canada's greatest researchers, engineers, and scientists from 80 partner organizations will open their doors and close city streets to present exciting demonstrations, hands-on activities, and explosive experiments.

Toronto alone has 17 venues participating, including 4 universities, 2 hospitals, the Ontario Science Centre, and libraries. Across Canada, there will be experiments and activities for the kids, lectures for the adults, and interactive demonstrations for people of all ages. And, It's all FREE!

"Our goal is to inspire the next generation of researchers and innovators by bringing them face-to-face with the leaders of today and re-invigorating a passion for discovery in Canadian youth. That is why the Science Rendezvous festival is so important, it brings science and the public together so we can explore, create, and discover right there on the spot. That is what Science Rendezvous is all about, doing it for yourself," said Kelsey Miller, Science Rendezvous executive director.

Dan Riskin, co-host of Discovery's Daily Planet echoes Ms. Miller's assertion,

"This is a unique event that gives ordinary people a chance to indulge their curiosities, to experience the thrill of discovery with some of the best scientists and science communicators in the world. There's a pure joy that comes from finding something out yourself, instead of looking it up on Wikipedia, and Science Rendezvous brings that kick to families across the country."

Participants will be able to ride a hovercraft at the University of British Columbia, race a SCUBA tank-powered cart at the University of Regina, discover glow-in-the-dark crystals at Memorial University, and compete in Science Jeopardy at UOIT.

With over 300 events across 30 cities and thousands of mind-blowing activities, Science Rendezvous is lighting the spark of curiosity in young minds from Vancouver to St. John's.

Celebrate Doctors' Day on May 1 by Saying Thanks Doc!

TORONTO, May 1, 2013 /Canada NewsWire/ - Master Corporal Michael Blois suffered a traumatic brain injury in Afghanistan during a firefight with the Taliban. Toronto resident Carolyn Ovell was diagnosed with cancer at age 24. Today, both of them are taking a moment to say thanks to the doctors who saved their lives.

"Dr. Donna Ouchterloney not only saved me from never-ending pain and frustration with my condition. She was also instrumental in giving me a new life by teaching me that I was not my injury - and that my future was only limited by my ambition." - Ret. Master Corporal Blois, of Exeter, who is studying to become a lawyer

"Fighting cancer challenged me in every way possible. Thankfully, I never had to face any of these challenges alone. It wasn't just my doctors' job to save my life, it was their mission. That's why I'm encouraging everyone in Ontario to take a minute to thank a doctor who has championed your health." - Carolyn Ovell, 30, of Toronto, who is now in remission

There are thousands of stories just like theirs yet to be told; so patients across Ontario are invited to help celebrate the third annual Doctors' Day on May 1 by sharing a positive story about their doctors at thanksdoc.oma.org.

"Every day, I hear stories of the kindness, compassion, and talent of Ontario's doctors. I was hospitalized recently, and the experience reminded me that we really do have some of the finest physicians in the world. That's why I'd like to say Thanks Doc!" - Dr. Doug Weir, President, Ontario Medical Association

Ontario's doctors treat more than 400,000 people every day and these interactions are the foundation of our health system. Whether at the hospital, the long-term care facility, or the patient's home, doctors work hard to make sure Ontarians get the care they need. To help recognize the important work of Ontario's physicians, Reza Moridi, the Liberal MPP from Richmond Hill, successfully introduced a motion recognizing May 1 as Doctors' Day in Ontario in 2010. The date is symbolic: it's the birth date of Emily Stowe, Canada's first female practicing physician.

Beginning on May 1st and lasting for 30 days, patients can help celebrate their doctor by participating in the Thanks Doc! campaign in a number of easy ways. Patients can send a personalized thank you card to their doctor by visiting thanksdoc.oma.org or share their story on Facebook.com/Ontariosdoctors. Patients who take the time to say Thanks Doc! will be entered into a draw to win an iPhone5 or a Fitbit One Wireless Activity and Sleep Tracker.
