Les approches sensibles aux traumas : de la théorie à la pratique

Ce projet s’intéresse au déploiement d’approches sensibles aux traumas en contexte d’intervention pour des populations en situation de précarité sociale. La notion de traumatisme complexe réfère à l’exposition, particulièrement pendant l’enfance et l’adolescence, à des traumatismes interpersonnels répétés, et aux réactions comportementales associées à ces événements négatifs dans de nombreux domaines du fonctionnement (Greeson et […]

Severe Acute Respiratory Illness at The Hospital for Sick Children: A systematic review of SARI case definitions, and development of a novel child-specific case definition

Following the relaxation of policies mandating COVID-19-related non-pharmaceutical interventions, Canadian paediatric hospitals experienced unprecedented volumes of patients hospitalized with acute respiratory infections (ARI) such as influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Clinical presentations among these patients were often more severe, and patients were typically older and with fewer pre-existing conditions than expected based on pre-pandemic […]

East Hastings Corridor Community Economic Development

The East Hastings corridor, from Hamilton to Heatley, lacks a clear understanding of the unmet needs of its primarily low-income and equity-denied residents and community-serving organizations. As health services expand in the area, identifying potential small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to fill commercial unit gaps becomes crucial, especially concerning opportunities for work, shopping, and socializing. […]

Exploring Thalamo-Prefrontal Cortex Connectivity: A multimodal analysis using cutting-edge neuroimaging and a high-resolution histology-based atlas

The prefrontal cortex (PFC), the front part of the brain, plays a crucial role in high-level cognitive functions such as self-awareness, working memory, problem-solving, and emotional regulation. Damage to this region can lead to significant personality changes, as famously illustrated by the case of Phineas Gage, an American railworker in the 19th century who survived […]

Evaluating the Pleins Rayons model for inclusive employment of individuals with intellectual disabilities or autism: A potential pathway for the development of inclusive employment in Québec?

In Québec, few local organizations focus on inclusive employment and training for individuals with autism or intellectual disabilities (ID). Pleins Rayons is one such organization, with promising programs. However, existing research lacks comprehensive evaluation of its impact. Our proposed research aims to fill this gap by assessing Pleins Rayons’ activities and their effects on individuals […]

Élucidation des rôles de la voie hippo dans les adaptations physiologies de l’utérus bovin sous l’effet de l’oestrogène et de la progestérone dans un modèle in vitro d’explants utérins bovins

Une bonne compréhension des mécanismes impliqués dans la physiologie utérine normale est essentielle pour améliorer l’efficacité de la reproduction dans la production animale. L’utérus bovin est un organe dynamique dans lequel diverses adaptations morphologiques et physiologiques sont observées tout au long du cycle de l’œstrus, en particulier sous l’effet de la progestérone et des œstrogènes.

Mucoadhesive and mucopenetrative micelle formulation for anterior segment ocular drug delivery

While eye drops are the most common treatment for anterior segment ocular disorders, they are inefficient due to fast clearance, often requiring frequent and high doses, reducing patient compliance, and increasing the risk of systemic toxicity. To improve the efficiency and efficacy of topically applied therapeutics, a drug-loaded polymeric micelle that interacts with the mucin […]
