2013 May 16: Regular screening for glaucoma is critical to diagnosing glaucoma says a Queen’s University study led by Hotel Dieu ophthalmologist Dr. Sanjay Sharma. Known as a silent thief of vision, glaucoma affects nearly 3% of the population. A new meta-analysis of literature on glaucoma conducted by the Queen’s research team was published this month in JAMA – the Journal of the American Medical Association. The study highlights the importance of regular screenings for glaucoma especially for those over the age of 40. To learn more click here

May 15: A study released this week by Cancer Care Ontario has found digital computed radiography mammography, or CR mammography, to be less effective in detecting breast cancer than conventional screen film mammography and digital direct radiography mammography, or DR mammography. At Hotel Dieu Hospital, we have never used CR mammography. We have used DR mammography exclusively since 2008, and prior to that we used screen film mammography. If you have any further questions regarding the technology, please contact Cancer Care Ontario at 1-800-668-9304 or speak to your doctor.
