B.C. approves health research centre construction at new St. Paul's Hospital - CBC.ca

British Columbia's provincial government says it is going ahead with the construction of a $638-million "state-of-the-art'' research centre at the new St. Paul's Hospital in Vancouver.

Premier David Eby said at a news conference after touring the construction progress at the new hospital that the province has approved the business plan and funding for the new research facility.

The research centre will be built directly adjacent to the new hospital and reach roughly 34,000 square metres in size.

The province says the centre will also include emerging technology infrastructure such as 3D bio-printing to support medical and health research conducted at the facility.

The cost of construction will be shared by the province, which will contribute about $332 million, Providence Health Care, the St. Paul's Foundation and ChildCare B.C.'s New Spaces Program.

The province says it hopes the research centre will act "as a cornerstone'' for B.C.'s hub for life-sciences research in Vancouver's False Creek Flats neighbourhood as it attracts scientists and industry players to deliver care and innovation.

Like many things, there's another side to the opioid crisis. While the addiction to opioids is a problem that needs to be addressed, people who are using the drugs exclusively as prescribed — and who still truly need it from a medical perspective — have been swept up in what some have seen as government's knee-jerk reaction to the crisis. In having their ability limited to get the drugs they need in order to function, many of these patients are left suffering debilitating pain. Richard Mark VanWormer w

These gray areas indicate increased density inside the lungs. The term comes from a technique in glassmaking during which the surface of the glass is blasted by sand. This technique gives the glass a hazy white or frosted appearance. There are many potential causes of GGO, including infections, inflammation , and growths. One 2020 review also found that GGO was the most common anomaly among people with COVID-19-related pneumonia. This article will look at what GGO is, some of its causes, and its treatment options. GGO refers to gray areas that can show up in lung X-rays or CT scans . Normally, the lungs appear black
