In a landmark study led by Dr. John Bienenstock published in Nature Communications, researchers at St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton and McMaster University have discovered that this is true for laboratory mice.
This is only the beginning when it comes to understanding how these findings impact humans, but it brings up many questions about antibiotic use in pregnant mothers and infants. It also places the spotlight again on the benefits of eating probiotics and the infinite connections between our gut and our brain.
Dr. Darin Treleaven, Medical Director of Transplantation and Head of Clinical Service for the Kidney and Urinary Program at St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton, is passionate about the difference a transplant can make in a patient's life.
>>> Dr. Treleaven explains what gaps still exist in helping patients receive life changing transplant surgery, and the positive impact a transplant can have on a patient's life.

Going the Distance for RESEARCH at St. Joe's!
On Sunday, April 30thjoin us at Paris to Ancaster: A Ride for Research (P2A) in support of research at St. Joe’s and the good health of our community!
Funds raised from P2A support St. Joe’s research into areas like mental health and addiction, respirology, nephrology, robotics, eye medicine and in the Intensive Care Unit, to name a few. Many St. Joe’s department teams who walked, ran and fundraised in the Around the Bay Road Race are now cycling in P2A to raise a total of $10,000 between both events and to have the funds directed back to approved research projects in their departments. Join the ranks of Team Robot, Team Nephrology, Team Seniors Mental Health and Team Scleroderma Research.
