AGP Executive Report
Last update: 42 minutes agoMeasles: Manitoba declared its outbreak over after 1,038 reported cases, but measles is still spreading elsewhere. Officials urge people to check their vaccination status; two MMR doses are about 97% effective. Mental Health Access: A study of insurance directories found callers secured an appointment with a listed psychiatrist or psychologist in just 24% of successful calls, underscoring the gap between coverage and care. Stroke Prevention: Research involving more than 650,000 people linked ethnic differences in stroke rates mainly to unequal rates of risk factors such as high blood pressure and diabetes—not different stroke risk once those conditions were present. Everyday Nutrition: Peanuts offer more protein per serving than pistachios, while pistachios provide more complete protein; dietitians say including a variety of nuts can broaden nutrient intake. Shingles: Vaccination may reduce pain even when infection occurs, and sharply lowers the risk of lingering nerve pain.
