Le système alimentaire traditionnel à la base du développement de Hanoï, la capitale du Vietnam, fait face à des pressions de la part du gouvernement local qui a pour objectif de moderniser le pays. Les avantages de ce système traditionnel, dont des marchés publics qui sont l’élément clé de ce système, sont beaucoup théorisés dans […]

In India, maternal mortality rate is one of the highest in the world. It is therefore crucial to improve health care for pregnant women to prevent pregnancy complications, premature births and maternal and infant deaths. As the nurse is one of the key health professionals interacting with pregnant women, it is essential to redefine her […]

Prostate biopsies can be difficult to interpret using standard pathology techniques. Because cancer can be fatal, the development of technologies providing complementary information could improve current pathology practice resulting in improved patient outcome. Raman micro-spectroscopy is a molecular imaging technique using backscattered light following tissue laser excitation to indicate whether or not prostate samples contain […]

Colorectal cancer remains within the three most lethal cancers, largely due to the inevitable development of resistance to chemotherapy. Recent breakthroughs demonstrate that cancer immunotherapy can be highly effective in patients with skin cancer using T cells from the human immune system to fight off cancer. Our laboratory has found that T cells can recognize […]

Colorectal cancer, a leading cause of death worldwide, awaits new treatments due to high resistance of metastases toward chemotherapy. Similarly to infection, cancer cells can be recognized as foreign by T cells from the immune system because they express mutated proteins. Actually, T cells can be isolated from tumors, expanded in vitro and infused to […]

People affected by head and neck cancer go to the oncology outpatient clinic to receive their chemotherapy treatment in Fortis Institute of Nursing in Mulund, Mumbai, India. After their treatment, they go back home. How can nurses potentialise the transition between the clinic and homebased oncology care? What are the best practices regarding these kind […]

Maternal and under-five mortality are still high in India but it could be reduced by strengthening the access to quality maternal health services. Given the importance of primary care nursing as mediators with families, home care nursing is among one of best options for quality maternal and child health in countries such as India. However, […]

India is the country with the greatest burden of tuberculosis (TB), a very deadly infectious disease. Yet, TB is treatable with a drug regimen. However, as the treatment is very demanding, it is challenging even the most enthusiastic patient to remain compliant. Innovative strategies, such as the use of mobile phones, could complement existing methods […]

Le projet consiste a? de?velopper un mode?le d’e?quations diffe?rentielles pour la production des plaquettes sanguines, et des me?gacaryocytes qui sont les cellules a? partir desquelles sont cre?e?es les plaquettes. Ce processus est controle? par une hormone nomme?e thrombopoie?tine (TPO), dont la pre?sence augmente le nombre de plaquettes : la quantite? de TPO pre?sente de?pendant elle-meme […]

Le projet de recherche vise à élucider, les mécanismes d’interaction du peptide A?1?42 impliqué dans la maladie d’Alzheimer avec les membranes neuronales. Ces interactions conduisent à la mort des neurones provoquant la détérioration des facultés cognitives chez l’être humain. Pour évaluer ces interactions, il faut faire appel à des instrumentations innovantes pour l’étude de systèmes […]

Actuellement, au delà de 8 millions de chats vivent dans les foyers canadiens. Plusieurs maladies induisent des pertes de sang dans l’urine et, par conséquent, celle-ci peut être un indicateur de problèmes de santé potentiellement graves telles que des infections microbiennes et diverses maladies du rein. La Dre Élodie Khenifar, vétérinaire aux études supérieures à […]
