Alaska Airlines has resumed flights after the failure of a critical piece of hardware forced the airline to ground all its planes for approximately three hours, but the effects will linger into Monday, the company announced.
The carrier issued a system-wide ground stop for Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air flights around 8 p.m. Pacific time Sunday. The stop was lifted at 11 p.m., the Seattle-based company said in a social media post. More than 150 flights have been canceled since Sunday evening. The FlightAware tracking site reported 84 cancellations and nearly 150 delays Monday.

MHCare renews calls for government to release AHS procurement investigation

Edmonton-based MHCare Medical Corporation renewed its call this week for the government to release an external audit report initiated by the since-fired head of Alberta Health Services (AHS) that it believes could exonerate the company and its CEO Sam Mraiche. Article content In a news release, MHCare says its lawyers have new questions about the audit which it claims was provided to former AHS CEO Athana Mentzelopoulos before she was fired in early January. Article content Article content Article content The following month, Mentzelopoulos launched a $1.7-million wrongful dismissal lawsuit, claiming she was fired after she investigated health procurement practices and contracts for private surgical facilities. Article content Article content Her lawsuit does not list MHCare as defendant, though it is mentioned in her statement of claim, with the company claiming those those references have resulted in ongoing reputable harm for itself and Mraiche. Article content MHCare's lawyers released copies of correspondence with a government of Alberta lawyer where they repeat their request for the audit to be released, saying it could help clear the company's name or lead it to pursue future litigation. Article content 'This information in particular is important for our client to obtain as they expect evidence and information to be available that will support a lawsuit against other currently unknown third parties, or will support our client's defence to any potential lawsuits against them,' the July 10 letter reads. Article content Article content It poses six questions to the government's lawyer, asking why a Toronto-led law firm and private investigator were chosen to lead the audit as well as additional queries around the cost and mandate of that audit. Article content It adds that details from the audit could be used by MHCare staff in potential questioning as part of ongoing investigations by the auditor general and the province's own inquiry led by retired Manitoba chief judge Raymond Wyant. Article content Wyant's was scheduled to report back this past spring but his initial report is now due Sept. 24 ahead of the final report on Oct. 15. The RCMP is also investigating. Article content On July 16, the government lawyer replied to MHCare's letter, saying the report could not be released as it was subject to legal privilege. Article content 'I am not in a position to respond to the various questions in your letter as they involve specific matters relating to the litigation and are subject to various privileges as well as the deemed undertaking under the rules,' the correspondence released by MHCare reads.

"Codex Labs is delighted to be attending The Society for Pediatric Dermatology's 50th Annual Meeting and presenting a novel plant-based biotech eczema lotion and cleanser for children as young as 3 weeks old,' says founder and CEO Dr. Barbara Paldus. 'We believe that these new topicals, when combined and targeted with pre- and probiotics, will usher in a future of highly effective, steroid-free alternatives for the management of pediatric atopic dermatitis." The SPD comprises over 1,800 members worldwide, including pediatricians, dermatologists, pediatric dermatologists, and other healthcare professionals. At this year's milestone 50th SPD Annual Meeting, Codex Labs will be one of many organizations gathering to support the advancement of pediatric dermatology. The SPD's 50th Annual Meeting will take place over four days and feature networking opportunities, support group discussions, lecture sessions, companies and exhibitors showcasing their products, and organizations dedicated to pediatric dermatology research and advancement. Some key topics highlighted at this year's meeting include infections, medications and therapies, psoriasis and inflammatory skin conditions, tumors and neoplasms, vascular lesions, and more. Codex Labs will be attending this year's 50th Annual Meeting and sponsoring the Early Career Networking Reception on Wednesday, July 23rd at 6:00 pm. This event is for medical doctors completing a fellowship or those out of training for five years or less, where they can share experiences and connect with other young dermatologists. Dr. Jessica Maloh, Naturopathic Doctor and Head of Naturopathic Medicine at Codex Labs, will be attending the event and presenting a research poster that highlights the use of oral probiotics as adjunctive interventions for acne. 'Acne is one of the most common skin conditions affecting adolescents, often impacting not only the skin, but also self-esteem and quality of life,' says Dr. Maloh. 'At the SPD, I'm excited to share a summary of the research on the adjunctive use of oral probiotics in acne management- an intervention that may complement conventional dermatologic treatments like antibiotics and oral isotretinoin. Integrative strategies like this have been found to enhance acne treatment efficacy while also supporting the gut microbiome.'
