Il est relevé dans la documentation scientifique que les enfants ayant subi de la maltraitance (p. ex., abus, négligence) manifestent davantage de problèmes de comportement. Cette relation peut s’expliquer par l’effet de la maltraitance sur le développement, chez l’enfant, de représentations insécurisantes des liens d’attachement ainsi que par la présence de traits de personnalité limite […]

L’étude vise à évaluer les représentations d’attachement, les symptômes de troubles de l’attachement ainsi que les difficultés émotionnelles et comportementales chez des enfants de 7 à 12 ans hébergés dans des institutions de protection de la jeunesse, ayant vécu des situations potentiellement traumatiques et répétées au sein de leurs relations d’attachement primaires (p. ex., négligence, […]

Hoarding involves keeping so many objects that the home becomes unsafe or unhealthy. Due to fire risks and other issues, hoarding can also be unsafe for neighbours – risks that housing providers must manage. A common strategy in social housing settings is to evict the tenant or forcibly clean out the unit, traumatic practices that […]

The research project will look at modes and types of localized knowledge on the span of diseases under the umbrella of dementia. The project will try to detect and compare modes of knowledge transition, dispersion, and production about dementia prevention and early detection within and across two different cultural and social settings: the Canadian and […]

Le but de cette recherche est d’améliorer les propriétés thérapeutiques d’un produit sanguin qui peut sauver des vies des patients avec une infection sévère due à un système immunitaire affaiblie. Ces patients ont un nombre insuffisant de neutrophiles ou des neutrophiles qui ne fonctionnent pas très bien. Les neutrophiles sont des globules blancs qui jouent […]

Over the last decade, chemical biology approaches have proven increasingly successful, delivering new solutions to problems that were previously unresponsive to traditional chemical and biochemical techniques. In the fields of proteomics and genomics, new diagnostics and therapeutic strategies are revolutionizing healthcare. However, in the field of glycomics, tractable strategies to study glycan (carbohydrate)-mediated processes remain […]

Overcrowded emergency rooms and inadequate primary care, especially for marginalized segments of society, are two of the most important challenges faced in the Canadian Healthcare System. A new initiative by Vancouver Coastal Health is working to address both challenges through Urgent and Primary Care Centres, which provide care on a walk-in basis to people with […]

Online Digital Hubs (ODH) have the capacity to promote resiliency and connectivity, countering barriers to accessibility and disruption (Lamport-Lewis & Deacon 2020; McShane et.al 2012; Rundel et.al 2020). This is of particular relevance in rural and peri-rural spaces as traditional third spaces such as churches and community centers are in decline, taking with it opportunity […]

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is associated with a reduced quality of life and an increased risk of kidney failure, cardiovascular events, and all-cause mortality. The goal of this project is to investigate whether the consumption of resistant potato starch (RPS) in addition to current standard care for CKD will reduce uremic toxins and symptoms by […]
