The vaccine will be made available to people aged 75 and over from 1 May at local service points (PSL) and pharmacies. It provides excellent long-term protection against the most common complications of this disease, especially post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN), with pain that can last for several months, or hospitalization or death avoid
In Quebec, there are approximately 27,000 cases of shingles each year, 600 hospitalizations and 10 deaths from the disease, approximately 80% of which occur in people aged 80 years and older (MSS, 2023).

Previously unknown new organ discovered in the head, the tubal salivary gland
A new, previously unknown organ in the head discovered, the “tubal salivary gland”. This is a medical revolution by Dutch researchers at the Netherlands Cancer Institute
Hidden in the shadows of the senses, a team of Dutch researchers has made a revolutionary discovery. While scientists at the Netherlands Cancer Institute wanted to unlock the secrets of prostate cancer, they came across a previously unknown organ: the “tubal salivary gland”. The exploration began with CT and PET scans, which used a special radioactive sugar solution to visualize tumors in the body. This sugar solution binds to the PSMA protein, which is not only present in higher quantities in prostate cancer cells, but is also an important indicator for detecting salivary glands. Unexpectedly, the scans showed bright spots inside the head, in places where such illumination was not expected. Furthering the research, scientists identified the tubal salivary gland, which is hidden behind the nose, near the confluence with the throat region. These glands, about four centimeters long, appear to be responsible for moisturizing the upper part of the neck behind the nose and mouth. What is fascinating is that this new organ was found in every one of the 100 patients examined and cadavers analyzed.
Does Freezing Bread Make it Healthier? The Science Behind the TikTok Trend
Exploring the Health Benefits of Freezing Bread: Separating Fact from Fiction
Recent TikToks have caused a buzz around freezing bread, claiming that it can actually make the staple food healthier. While some social media influencers have pointed to research supporting these claims, it’s essential to examine the scientific facts and determine whether this food tip holds true.
The Science Behind It: Gelatinized Starches and Resistant Starches
When bread is baked, the heat transforms its moist dough into a soft, fluffy loaf. This process involves the expansion and gelatinization of starch present in flour. Similarly, adding flour to a sauce and cooking it results in thickening due to starch gelatinization.
“These gelatinized starches are easier to digest, making the glucose (sugars) that these starches contain easier for our cells to get hold of.”
Freshly cooked starchy foods, especially those made from finely milled flours like white bread or potatoes low in fiber content, exhibit this characteristic. The gelatinized starches in these foods enhance digestion by making glucose readily available for our cells.
“But when cooled down, foods containing these gelatinized starches shrink back into what’s known as resistant starch.”

Upsurge in whooping cough in Europe, call for increased vigilance in France
Whooping cough is a highly contagious bacterial infection whose transmission occurs mainly within the family or in communities through contact with a sick person with a cough. Even though the number of cases of whooping cough has decreased significantly since the introduction of the vaccine, the bacteria continues to circulate. Infants too young to be vaccinated and adolescents and adults who have lost vaccine protection are the most affected populations. Outside our borders, Europe is currently experiencing an upsurge in cases of whooping cough with significant epidemics in Croatia, Denmark and the United Kingdom and significant increases in Belgium, Spain and Germany. In France, since the start of 2024, around twenty grouped cases (or clusters) have been reported to Public Health France in 8 French regions versus 2 grouped cases in a single region (Ile-de-France) for throughout 2023. Given this clear increase in the number of cluster cases reported, Public Health France remains vigilant and recalls the importance of vaccination to protect people at risk of serious forms.
A resumption of the circulation of whooping cough begins in France
Whooping cough progresses in cycles of recrudescence every 3 to 5 years. In France, surveillance data from the RENACOQ network (the hospital pertussis surveillance network) have shown six epidemic peaks in recent years: 1997,

The type of cancer that starts in the bone marrow
Within the framework of World Myeloid Leukemia Day celebrated on April 21, various organizations and health professionals seek to increase awareness about this disease, with the aim of informing the general public.
Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is a type of cancer that begins in the bone marrow and spreads to the blood. Sometimes it can spread to other parts of the body, such as the lymph nodes, liver, spleen, central nervous system, and testicles.
In an interview with EL UNIVERSAL, hematologist Sergio Tena explained that myeloid leukemia is not limited to being a single disease, but rather encompasses a set of disorders, since several subtypes are currently recognized.
“There are more than 10 types. Each one of them will be different, that is, with different probabilities of patients responding. Many of them already have specialized treatments that are used in each of these subtypes.“he emphasized.
Also, he stressed that this type of cancer is called myeloid leukemia because the cells that are affected are the myeloid cells found in the bone marrow, and it is called acute because it grows “very quickly.”
“We consider this type of cancer as a hematological emergency for patients,
