Kitchener woman who killed her baby granted absolute discharge - CTV News

One of the ringleaders of the thwarted Toronto 18 terror plot has been granted full parole after the Parole Board of Canada found he no longer showed “any signs of holding onto extremist beliefs or radical ideologies.” Zakaria Amara, who helped recruit members for a group that aimed to storm Parliament Hill and bomb several locations around Toronto, has been on day parole with multiple conditions for four years, and the board upgraded his release after reviewing his case last week. In a written decision issued Friday, the two-member panel says Amara, 41, undertook a process to deradicalize while incarcerated and has used his day parole “for its intended rehabilitative purpose,” demonstrating “positive change, both in attitude and in behaviour.”It says he was closely supervised while on day parole and his internet use, friendships and relationships were monitored, with no reported safety concerns or breaches.

Quin Denfeld, PhD, discusses her findings from the BIOMES-HF study, indicating worsening symptoms in patients with HF over time. Although dyspnea generally improves in patients after heart failure (HF) hospitalization, symptoms can remain persistent or worsen in >1/3 of all cases, according to data from the BIOMES-HF study.1 Quin Denfeld, PhD, associate professor at Oregon Health & Science University, presented these data at the Heart Failure Society of America (HFSA) Annual Scientific Meeting 2026 in Phoenix, Arizona, by Quin Denfeld, PhD, associate professor at Oregon Health & Science University. In an interview with HCPLive, Denfeld discussed the implications of her research and why these symptoms are critically important.1“The cardinal symptom of heart failure is dyspnea, or shortness of breath. That’s what brings people into the hospital,” Denfeld told HCPLive. “We wanted to see, after that hospitalization, how did these patients fare afterwards in terms of their dyspnea? Did it go up?
