I will clear my pathways and driveways on my property, since they are my responsibility. I will not risk being injured and unable to work while trying to clear city property because the city plows bury the sidewalks in ice and slush. Sean O., Nanaimo: Two years ago my pregnant sister fell on the sidewalk across the street covered in snow. She called the city and was told there was no bylaw officers that actually do complaints on snow removal. Luckily the kid was ok. The same jerk drug dealer across the street has plowed snow in front of the sidewalks. The city doesn't do crap, you would think fines would be a good way to subsidies the cost of snow removal for the city but no… Nanaimo is a joke im from port Coquitlam and ive had a $300 fine and you bet your ass I shoveled everytime after. NanaimoNewsNOW : As frustrating, and at times inconsistent, as it is, the rules around clearing snow are primarily the same from community to commu...

Treatments to clear the 'superbug' meticillin-resistant ... - Cochrane

Review question We looked for evidence for the effects of different ways of clearing meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a so-called 'superbug', from the lungs of people with cystic fibrosis. Background MRSA is a type of bacteria resistant to some types of antibiotics (medicines that kill or inhibit bacteria). Because MRSA is hard to treat, it is sometimes called a 'superbug'. Infection with MRSA is particularly worrying for people with cystic fibrosis, an inherited condition which, amongst other things, causes thick mucus to build up in the lungs. It is very difficult for people with cystic fibrosis to cough up this thick mucus, making it an ideal breeding ground for bacteria, including MRSA, and making these people more prone to chest infections. It is thought that MRSA can cause more damage than other bacteria which are not resistant to antibiotics. We wanted to identify research evidence to support the best way for treating MRSA infections and also to...
