One slip can change everything
A doctor columnist discusses how aging, personality, and habits affect fall risk. Longitudinal Canadian data show cessation of smoking and reduced drinking oddly predicting more falls, while traits like conscientiousness offer protection. Practical tips include balance exercises, medication review, home safety, proper footwear, vision checks, assistive devices, and social engagement. A North American fall burden is noted with costs and rising injuries. The column closes with a call to modify behavior to prevent missteps.

Public health doctors urge measles vaccination in uncertain cases
Canada urges adults born after 1970 with unclear vaccination history to get the measles vaccine, while pregnant women should avoid the live MMR shot. Public Health Ontario and Dr. Theresa Tam stress immunity testing can help some, but vaccination speeds protection amid rising cases and travel plans. The guidance emphasizes early vaccination if possible and using serology only when pregnancy status and exposure risk require clarity.
