CHECKING IN
A
s Winter finally comes to an end and Spring arrives,
we at Sysco believe it’s important to keep our
customers updated on current healthcare trends
and healthcare related news. This issue of Lifewise features
a number of stories from healthcare experts to help you
get a better understanding of the healthcare topics that
are in the forefront of the industry.
Gord Landry,
Editor
In this issue of Lifewise Karen Owen shares four unique
healthcare related stories that we know you will find
interesting. The first story deals with new ways doctors
have found to treat broken bones. For anyone who has
worn a cast the developments in this study will go a
long way in upgrading the comfort levels of patients
with broken bones. Karen’s second story is about recent
findings regarding the surprising results of botox
treatments for people suffering from chronic migraines.
The third story from Karen in this issue deals with Calgary’s
new Medtronic Carelink system, an online program that
allows people with heart problems an easy way to keep
doctors up to date on their health. Lastly, Karen shares a
story with Lifewise on the risks, and rising growth, of salt
in our diets.
This issue we also have three new stories from Jennifer
Allford. In Jennifer’s first story she writes about recent
findings on how to track the levels of Multiple Sclerosis
in patients through MRI’s. Secondly, Jennifer writes
about an interesting study completed by University
of British Columbia that found babies as young as 8
months old react in surprising ways to the concept of
punishment to others for bad acts. Jennifer’s last feature
is about the surprising findings from the Hospital of Sick
Children and University of Toronto that found students
from lower income families are suffering from a number
of health risks including high cholesterol and elevated
blood pressure.
Enjoy these great stories from our regular contributors
and have a safe and healthy reminder of winter!

An on-line heart checkup
Bruce McRitchie has
b
an implantable cardiac
defibrillator. It keeps his heart
ticking along, but every once
in a while his heart might feel
a little funny, like something
isn’t quite right. However,
instead of racing to an
emergency room he can get
help over the phone using a
remote cardiac monitoring
program.

B
ruce says “it gives me piece of
mind. And someone will phone me
back saying there is something to
worry about or there’s nothing to worry
about, which is usually the case!”
McRitchie is part of the Medtronic
Carelink system in Calgary. It’s a remote
monitoring system which allows his
doctor to check on him without actually
seeing him in person. The system gives
health care providers access to readouts
from patients who have pacemakers,
defibrillators, cardiac resynchronization
devices, and implantable heart monitors.
The patients in this group have
arrhythmia; something is a little wonky
with the heart’s electrical system. Every
time the heart beats, an electrical signal
travels along and makes the heart
contract and pump blood. Any glitch
along the way can cause the heart to
beat too fast, too slow, or too erratically.
The implantable devices can fix the
problem but they aren’t perfect which is
why patients need continuing follow-up.
The remote monitoring system is about
the size of a clock radio. The patient
puts the so-called wand over their
heart and it transmits the signals from
the implanted device down the wire to
the monitor and then right to a doctor’s
computer on a secure Internet website.
The doctor can determine what’s going
on immediately. Dr. Derek Exner, Medical
Director of the AHS Cardiac Arrhythmia
Program at Foothills Medical Centre
says “I’ve been on the other side of
the world on the phone with a patient
letting them know what’s going on with
their heart rhythm device”.
Ultimately the remote monitoring cuts
down unnecessary emergency visits
and unnecessary stress. It is also very
useful for patients who live out of town,
instead of coming in to the city every
three months for a check up, they can
send in a report remotely. Dr. Exner says
“about a third of the patients live more
than 100 kilometres from the clinic,
so this technology saves hundreds of
people a lot of travel time and expense”.
So far the remote cardiac monitoring
is only available in Southern Alberta;
a similar program is currently being
developed in Edmonton.

Lower income, higher risk
Researchers from the
Hospital for Sick Children
and the University of Toronto
have found that elevated
blood pressure as well as
both higher cholesterol levels
and body-mass index (BMI)
are linked to lower income
and education in teenagers.

T
he researchers examined crosssectional data for cardiovascular
risk factors and health behaviours
in more than 4,000 14 and 15 year old
students during the 2009-2010 school
year. The information was collected by
Heart Niagara as part of its Healthy Heart
Schools’ Program which screens all
Grade 9 students in the Niagara region
of Southern Ontario for cardiovascular
risk by recording their height, weight,
BMI, waist circumference, blood
pressure and cholesterol levels.
The researchers matched the teenagers’
data with their postal codes and
socioeconomic status measures from
the 2006 Census Canada, which include
household income, home ownership
and highest educational degree in the
home. And the scientists also examined
physical activity, time the teenagers
spent in front of different types of
screens, smoking, snacking and how
many fruits and vegetables they ate.
The researchers presented the results
of their study—linking elevated blood
pressure, higher BMI and cholesterol
with lower income and education—at
the Canadian Cardiovascular Congress
in Vancouver this past fall. The study
suggests that cardiovascular risk in
teenagers with lower socioeconomic
status are heavily influenced by
behaviours including sedentary lifestyle,
poor nutrition and smoking.
“People with higher socioeconomic status
tend to have more resources, knowledge
and time to devote to a healthy lifestyle,”
said Dr. Brian McCrindle, the principal
investigator of the study and pediatric
professor, cardiologist and senior
scientist at the Hospital for Sick Children.
“Those with lower socioeconomic status
are often focused on more immediate
concerns, like stretching their paycheque
to cover food and rent.”
adaptive interventions to address the
behavioural factors in this population.”
He says educating teenagers in lower
socioeconomic groups about fitness
could also help improve their health.
“As health-care providers, we need
to teach youth that you don’t need
a gym membership to be active,” he
says. “There are low-cost strategies to
maintain a healthy lifestyle.”
McCrindle says by taking socioeconomic
status into consideration: “health-care

A NEW WAY TO TREAT

circular saw can be a daunting, Kyle
says “at first you think it’s a bit creepy
because you think they are going to
cut your arm but then it just tickles”.
Since the cast needs to be removed at
the cast clinic, it doesn’t come off until
a child is healed.
But, what about the removable splint?
After all it is removable! Well Dr. Brauer
says she tells kids they can remove the
splint once the pass a simple test at

if you can do ten pushups and it’s not
hurting you’re probably ready”.

M
y 13-year-old son John
broke his arm recently, but
instead of wearing an itchy
(sometimes smelly!) cast for six weeks,
he wore a removable splint. The splints
can be removed for bathing, even
swimming. Splints are the new casts
for simple fractures. Dr. Carmen Brauer,
a Paediatric Orthopedic Surgeon at the
Alberta Children’s Hospital says simple
fractures are breaks but “because of the
softness of the bone, it can be a not-allthe-way through break, just a buckle, or
a greenstick, more of a bend”.

9-year-old Kyle also broke his arm, but
it was a bad break—his arm was broken
in two places. Serious breaks like Kyle’s
still require casts. Kyle says his cast
“gets really itchy and it’s really heavy”. In
addition, the skin can get irritated and
children lose muscle mass. Dr. Brauer
says “you’ll see when the cast comes off
it’s thin, they’ve lost a lot of muscles in
a short period of time”. Therefore, when
the cast comes off, the healing isn’t over.
Kyle wore a removable splint for several
weeks after his cast was removed.
Many children may prefer splints
because they don’t need to be
Parents should be aware they do have
to pay for the splints. The cost of an arm
splint is approximately 15 dollars, an
air-cast or leg splint is more, over 100
dollars which is one of the reasons they
are not as commonly used for broken
legs or ankles.
While the use of splints instead of casts
is becoming more common, it is not
standard practice yet. Some doctors
are not convinced a splint is adequate,
and sometimes parents need a little
convincing too. But things are changing,
a recent study from Hospital for Sick
Children in Toronto found splints
worked as well as casts, and parents and
kids preferred them.

A powerful MRI yields
powerful results
for MS patients
Researchers at the University
of Alberta have found
that people with Multiple
Sclerosis (MS) have increasing
levels of iron in certain parts
of the brain and they’ve
come up with a way to
track that increase—and
the development of the
disease—using a special MRI.
by Jen Allford

fe a tu re Powerful MRI yields powerful results for MS patients
T
he brain needs iron to function,
but too much iron can be toxic
to brain cells. High levels of iron
in the brain have been associated with
neurodegenerative diseases, such as
MS, but so far there are no tests that
can measure the levels of iron in a living
person’s brain.
“Using this new MRI method would
give physicians a new way to measure
the effectiveness of new treatments for
patients with MS by watching the impact
on iron levels,” says Gregg Blevins, a
neurologist and co-principal investigator
of the study. “This opens up the idea of
having a new biomarker: a new way of
looking at the disease over time, watching
the disease, seeing the progression or lack
of progression of the disease.”
The new MRI method—which uses
a machine that’s 90,000 times the
strength of the Earth’s magnetic field—
may be a better gauge for watching the
disease than just looking at how often a
patient relapses.
“We can get a better handle on where
patients are at,” says Alan Wilman,
co-principal investigator, researcher
and physicist in the Department of
Biomedical Engineering at U of A. “In
terms of clinical symptoms, they may
be fine for quite a while, then they have
a relapse, then they’re fine for quite
a while. Well, the time when they are
actually fine, they may not actually be all
right. The disease may be progressing,
but there is just no marker right now
that shows that.”
The new method will give doctors
a lot more information—and new
insights—about how MS is impacting
a patient’s brain. “People in the medical
research community are very excited
about this discovery, because it could
be a new way of looking at the disease,”
Wilman says.
The researchers studied 22 people who
have been diagnosed with MS and 22
people who don’t have the disease. “If
patients weren’t so willing to help, we
couldn’t do any of this,” says Wilman.
The researchers are hopeful the new MRI
technique could be used in clinical trials
of MS patients within the next couple of
years, and used by doctors treating MS
patients within five.

An assault on salt!
Some of Canada’s top
health experts are worried
about the amount of salt
Canadians eat.
by Karen Owen
T
he Sodium Working Group,
which includes the Heart and
Stroke Foundation of Canada, the
Canadian Restaurant and Foodservices
Association, and Dietitians of Canada,
want the federal government to
consider regulations that would reduce
the amount of salt in our food.
But why are health professionals so
worried about the salt we all eat? In a
word – hypertension. Hypertension, or
high blood pressure, is a major cause of
heart attacks, heart failure, stroke, and
kidney failure. Approximately 30% of
16
sysco.com
hypertension in Canada is caused by
too much salt in the diet. The Cleveland
Clinic website explains why and how
sodium increases blood pressure, “when
you eat too much salt, which contains
sodium, your body holds extra water to
‘wash’ the salt from your body. In some
people, this may cause blood pressure to
rise. The added water puts stress on your
heart and blood vessels”. You do need
some salt or sodium because it helps
regulate fluid levels in your body, assists
nerve impulses, and keeps your muscles
working (MayoClinic.com). However,
we’re getting too much of a good thing!
According to the Sodium Working
Group, the average Canadian consumes
3,400 mg/day of sodium; at most we
should be getting 2,300 mg/day or less.
That’s much; one teaspoon of salt is
2,400 mg. Adequate intake is considered
even less, 1500 mg/day. That’s a lot
of numbers, but you can see that the
bottom-line is—we are all, that’s right
all of us (children and adults), getting
too much salt in our diets. If Canadians
can cut back on salt/sodium, it could
potentially save lives and keep people
out of the hospital.
One simple way to decrease salt in
your diet is to use the salt shaker a lot
less and spice food up with pepper and
other herbs. However, it’s the salt you
can’t see that really adds up. Most of
the salt/sodium we eat comes from prepackaged, processed, and restaurant
food. When you’re buying food look for
the word sodium and choose food with
lower sodium content.
If you’re worried about taste, don’t be.
There are plenty of studies to show that
it doesn’t take long to get used to the
taste of food cooked with less salt. In
fact, the tasters started to like the taste
of the lower-sodium food.

Even babies like to see
the bad guy punished

feat ure Even babies like to see the bad guy punished
It may not be ‘out of the
mouths of babes’ exactly, but
a new study suggests that
infants as young as eight
months old embrace the
concept of people being
punished for antisocial acts.
by Jen Allford
A
rmed with animal hand puppets,
researchers at the University of
British Columbia showed 100
babies four different scenarios, in which
different puppets acted either positively
or negatively towards other characters.
Next, the puppets either gave toys to,
or took them away from, the “good” or
“bad” puppets.
The researchers then prompted the
babies to pick their favourite puppet.
The infants preferred the puppets that
mistreated the bad characters over the
puppets that were nice to them.
They also studied 64 older babies—aged
21 months—who were given treats and
asked to either hand them out or take
them away from the puppets. The older
babies physically took treats away from
the “bad” puppets, and gave treats to
the “good” ones.
“This study helps to answer questions
that have puzzled evolutionary
psychologists for decades,” says
Kiley Hamlin, a professor in the UBC
psychology
department. “Namely,
how have we survived as intensely
social creatures if our sociability makes
us vulnerable to being cheated and
exploited? These findings suggest that,
from as early as eight months, we are
watching for people who might put us
in danger and prefer to see antisocial
behavior regulated.”
Hamlin, who co-authored the study
with researchers at Yale University
and Temple University, says previous
research has shown that babies prefer
kind acts, but this study takes it further
providing insight into the protective
mechanisms we employ as we create
social alliances, alliances humans need
for self-preservation.
“We find that, by eight months, babies
have developed nuanced views of
reciprocity and can conduct these
complex social evaluations much earlier
than previously thought,” she says.
These responses, the researchers say,
could be very early forms of complex
behaviors and emotions that are seen
in humans later on, such as children
telling on kids who break the rules
in the school yard, the excitement
the audience at the movies feels
when the villain is brought to justice
and, even people cheering at public
executions.
The study, by Hamlin, Karen Wynn
and Paul Bloom of Yale University’s
Department of Psychology and Neha
Mahajan of Temple University was
published in the Proceedings of the
National Academy of Sciences.

Botox – A new wrinkle in
headache treatment!
For many years, women
and men have used Botox
to smooth out the wrinkles,
especially near their eyes
and forehead. Along the
way, some of them noticed
that not only were the
wrinkles gone, so were their
migraine headaches.

feat ure Botox – A new wrinkle in headache treatment!
C
algary neurologist and migraine
specialist, Dr. Werner Becker says
the effects of Botox on migraines
were discovered by accident “we were
using Botox for cosmetic purposes, and
some of the patients we gave it to said
their migraines got better”.
Tanya Stewart started getting migraine
headaches when she was 4 or 5 years old,
35 years later she’s still having headaches.
However, over the years, the pain level
and the number of headaches increased
so that eventually she was forced to quit
working. She says when the headache is
really bad she “can’t eat, can’t sleep, I just
need to be in a dark room”. Stewart says
the pain can be so intense, she couldn’t
even stand the movement required to get
some pain medication, and prescription
pain killers are only partially successful.
Stewart says “I’ve tried everything known
to man”.
Five years ago, Dr. Becker suggested
that Stewart try Botox for pain
relief. Stewart says “it hasn’t been
the miracle cure that I would love
to find, but it absolutely improves
my quality of life in the sense that I
don’t get them daily like I used to”.
The frequency and severity of her
headaches have been reduced so now
she actually has headache-free days.
Stewart continues to use prescription
pain medication as well.
It’s still not clear how and why Botox can
alleviate migraine pain, Dr. Becker says
“there’s some evidence that Botox affects
the pain nerves in the head and neck and
that’s how it reduces the migraine attacks”.
Patients usually receive up to 40 injections
every three months. The injections are
given in the forehead, scalp, and the back
of the neck.
Stewart says she is talking about Botox
in the hopes of helping others in pain.
“I just want to encourage those people
you don’t have to suffer, because the
word is suffer, it’s awful”.
Botox is generally recommended for
people who get 15 or more migraine
headaches a month and who haven’t
responded to other treatments. Health
Canada does require a warning on the
label which states there is a risk of the
toxin spreading to “other distant parts
of the body”.
