Les propriétaires de certains bars et restaurants du Québec se préparent à riposter au projet de loi sur le tabac déposé par Québec le mois dernier. Radio-Canada a appris que l'Union des tenanciers de bars du Québec effectue des tests sur les terrasses de plusieurs établissements en vue de faire plier le gouvernement [Couillard]. Julie Dufresne. Perdre des clients, c'est exactement ce que craignent certains propriétaires de bars et de restaurants, qui préparent la riposte. Leur arme... (Bip!) ... cet appareil aux allures de manette pour voiture téléguidée, et qui leur permettra d'évaluer les impacts de la fumée secondaire sur les terrasses. La ministre de la Santé publique se dit ouverte à entendre tous les points de vue sur son projet de loi lors de la commission parlementaire. Mais elle insiste : elle a en mains plusieurs études qui font la démonstration que la fumée secondaire est nuisible, même en petite quantité. Ici Julie Dufresne, Radio-Canada, Québec.

Le maire de Thetford Mines avait de quoi sourire aujourd'hui. Accompagné de responsables de la Santé publique, il a présenté une étude qui conclut que la présence de fibres d'amiante dans l'air de sa ville n'a pas d'impact majeur sur la santé de ses citoyens. Mais le rapport de cette étude est beaucoup plus nuancé. Michel Rochon.

With a new planetwide analysis of vertebrate life, an international team has used 21st century science to update an iconic 1876 map of Earth's zoological regions. By incorporating data on 21,037 species of mammals, birds and amphibians, Jean-Philippe Lessard of McGill University in Montreal and his colleagues have revised a zoological map created by Alfred Russel Wallace, an oft-overlooked cofounder of the theory of evolution. Wallace's map divided Earth's landmasses into six major regions, each with its own distinctive blend of vertebrates.

The last years of Gloria's mother's life were an ordeal. While in her nursing home, the 86-year-old woman had unexplained bruises and open sores on her back. She fell 16 times and almost died of dehydration before pneumonia finally took her. [Janice Lessard] was on a panel of geriatric experts and elder advocates who told the Romanow commission on health care that the system is failing a vulnerable segment of the population. \"In (an) Ontario university teaching hospital complex, the prevalence of malnutrition and/or dehydration in the hospitalized elderly was found to be 60 per cent,\" the panel noted. Those findings have been borne out in studies south of the border as well, Lessard says.

Heart-breaking tales of physical neglect -- diaper rash and bed sores -- coupled with vile verbal abuse, are coming out of nursing- homes across Canada, prompting critics to insist there is a systemic problem facing the elderly in long-term care facilities The last years of Gloria's mother's life were an ordeal.
