For a second year in a row, the MUHC is opening the doors of its labs and operating rooms to Montrealers as part of "24 heures de science," an event that celebrates science and technology in Quebec. Go behind the scenes at our hospitals and research facilities to discover what only a few patients before you have seen!
All the events will be in French.
May 8th, 2009 - 2:30 p.m. and 4:00 p.m.
Montreal Chest Institute, MUHC
Lung cancer: How to uncover a serial killer?
Lung cancer is both the easiest cancer to avoid and the most deadly. Discover how doctors can refine their diagnoses by exploring deeper into the lungs-without opening them-thanks to a technique called EBUS (endobronchial ultrasound). With Dr. Anne-Valérie Gonzalez, MUHC respirologist.
May 9th, 2009 - 9:30 a.m., 10:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m.
Royal Victoria Hospital, MUHC
Save a life by giving birth
Umbilical cords contain precious stem cells that can be used in transplants for certain types of cancer patients. Learn about the innovative research project of the MUHC Clinical Research Cord Blood Bank, which aims to increase transplant numbers and save more patients. With Linda Peltier, Director of the Clinical Research Cord Blood Bank.

As we age, the number and quality of stem cells that circulate in our body gradually decrease, leaving our body more susceptible to injury and other age-related health challenges. StemTech Health Science's Stem Enhance is the alternative to the controversial stem cells we hear about in the news. Patented oroduct, StemEnhance supports the natural release of stem cells to promote optimal healing and stem cell physiology. There is a new book just released "The Stem Cell Theory of Renewal" by Christian Drapeau, MSc., Chief Science Officer & Co-Founder of STEMTech Health Sciences. He formulated the all natural patented oroduct, StemEnhance which supports the natural release of stem cells to promote optimal healing and stem cell physiology. It has been proven in scientific studies to support the release of adult stem cells from the bone marrow, increasing the number of circulating stem cells by up to 30%, or 3 to 4 million more adult stem cells. I'm a Health Coach and I have seen tremendous benefit using this natural stem cell enhancer for myself and with my family and clients. I truly believe that because of the scientific studies we have available and the proven results with both adult stem cell transplants and also stem cell enhancers we can end the controversy from the use of embryonic stem cell research for good. I write about adult stem cells research in my blog at askjacki.wordpress.com for those interested in learning more or go to stemcellhotline.com & watch the video. Jacki Smith 817-510-3600
