All the members of the surgical team for a recent liver transplant were women, a first for Nova Scotia, says the Nova Scotia Health Authority. As Dr. Stephanie Hiebert, who completed her residency at Dalhousie Medical School, prepared to transplant a man's liver a few months ago in Halifax, she realized she needed to add a task to her preparation taking a photo. Hiebert's surgical team on that day, seven members in all, was made up of women. The only man in the room was the patient. https://www.cbc.ca//nova-scotia-health-authority-all-femal

Alzheimer's is a disease that affects more than half a million Canadians, and with that number constantly growing, research in this field is key. While there is no known cure, there is some reason for optimism. Dr. Sultan Darvesh, a neurologist, chemist and professor at Dalhousie University, is unlocking the mystery behind the disease. He's confirmed a protein called butyrylcholinesterase, or BChE, is commonly found in patients with Alzheimer's, but there is currently only one way to detect it.

Wishing all of you a safe and happy Thanksgiving!
