Activation of Smad2 but not Smad3 is required to mediate TGF-β signaling during axolotl limb regeneration
(2016-10-01)Axolotls are unique among vertebrates in their ability to regenerate tissues, such as limbs, tail and skin. The axolotl limb is the most studied regenerating structure. The process is well characterized morphologically; however, it is not well ... -
Assessment of the potential role of muscle spindle mechanoreceptor afferents in chronic muscle pain in the rat masseter muscle
(2010-06)Background: The phenotype of large diameter sensory afferent neurons changes in several models of neuropathic pain. We asked if similar changes also occur in ‘‘functional’’ pain syndromes. Methodology/Principal Findings: Acidic saline (AS, pH 4.0) ... -
Association entre les affections buccodentaires et le cancer colorectal : une revue et synthèse de la littérature
Association between oral conditions and colorectal cancer : a literature review and synthesis
(2016-04-01)Position du problème: La parodontite chronique et l’édentement sont des affections buccodentaires chroniques qui, depuis quelques décennies, sont incriminées dans la survenue de différents types de cancers. Cette revue de littérature avait pour but ... -
An astrocyte-dependent mechanism for neuronal rhythmogenesis
(2015-06)Communication between neurons rests on their capacity to change their firing pattern to encode different messages. For several vital functions, such as respiration and mastication, neurons need to generate a rhythmic firing pattern. Here we show in the ... -
Barriers and facilitators in the integration of oral health into primary care: a scoping review
(2017-09)Objective This scoping study has been conducted to map the literature and provide a descriptive synthesis on the barriers and facilitators of the integration of oral health into primary care. Methods Grounded in the Rainbow conceptual model and using ... -
Bone healing response in cyclically loaded implants : comparing zero, one, and two loading sessions per day
(Elsevier, 2018-05)When bone implants are loaded, they are inevitably subjected to displacement relative to bone. Such micromotion generates stress/strain states at the interface that can cause beneficial or detrimental sequels. The objective of this study is to better ... -
Cariology education in Canadian dental schools: where are we? Where do we need to go?
(2017)The aim of this study was to document cariology education across Canadian dental schools. Ten faculty members who supervise cariology education at each of the ten Canadian dental schools were invited to participate in the study in 2016. An adapted ... -
Channel selection for test-time adaptation under distribution shift
(2023-12-15)To ensure robustness and generalization to real-world scenarios, test-time adaptation has been recently studied as an approach to adjust models to a new data distribution during inference. Test-time batch normalization is a simple and popular method ... -
Chronic pain and pain processing in Parkinson’s disease
(2017-10-12)Pain is experienced by the vast majority of patients living with Parkinson’s disease. It is most often of nociceptive origin, but may also be ascribed to neuropathic (radicular or central) or miscellaneous sources. The recently validated King’s Parkinson’s ... -
Detection of Fusobacterium nucleatum in feces and colorectal mucosa as a risk factor for colorectal cancer : a systematic review and meta-analysis
(BMC, 2020-12-03)Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major cause of cancer deaths worldwide. Accumulating evidence suggests a potentially important role of colorectal infection with Fusobacterium nucleatum (F. nucleatum) in colorectal carcinogenesis. We conducted ... -
Diagnosis and management of benign fibro-osseous lesions of the jaws: a current review for the dental clinician
(2017-05-31)Benign fibro-osseous lesions of the maxillofacial skeleton constitute a heterogeneous group of disorders that includes developmental, reactive (dysplastic) and neoplastic lesions. Although their classification has been reviewed multiple times in the ... -
Does immediate loading affect clinical and patient-centered outcomes of mandibular 2-unsplinted-implant overdenture? : a 2-year within-case analysis
(2016-07-01)Objective To provide 2-year clinical- and patient-oriented data with regard to mandibular overdenture assisted by 2 immediately loaded unsplinted implants. Material and methods In this pre-post design, Phase-I clinical trial, 18 edentate ... -
Drug-induced parkinsonism: diagnosis and management
(2016-09-23)Drug-induced parkinsonism (DIP) has been known for >60 years. It is the second leading cause of parkinsonism, but still underdiagnosis is likely to influence reported incidence figures. Since DIP is clinically undistinguishable from Lewy-body Parkinson’s ... -
The effect of nocturnal wear of dentures on the sleep quality: A systematic review and meta-analysis
(2017-03-29)Purpose The effect of nocturnal wear of denture on sleep quality and integrity is still not well understood. Therefore, this systematic review was conducted to provide evidence on this topic. Methods Electronic searches were conducted from ... -
Endothelin-1 in osteoarthritic chondrocytes triggers nitric oxide production and upregulates collagenase production
(2005)The mechanism of endothelin-1 (ET-1)-induced nitric oxide (NO) production, MMP-1 production and MMP-13 production was investigated in human osteoarthritis chondrocytes. The cells were isolated from human articular cartilage obtained at surgery and were ... -
Fluid management for critically Ill patients with acute kidney injury receiving kidney replacement therapy : an international survey
(Lippincott, Williams and Wilkins, 2023-03-28)Background In critically ill patients receiving kidney replacement therapy (KRT), high ultrafiltration rates and persistent fluid accumulation are associated with adverse outcomes. The purpose of this international survey was to evaluate current ... -
From theoretical concepts to policies and applied programmes: the landscape of integration of oral health in primary care
(2018)Background: Despite its importance, the integration of oral health into primary care is still an emerging practice in the field of health care services. This scoping review aims to map the literature and provide a summary on the conceptual frameworks, ... -
GABAergic control of action potential propagation along axonal branches of mammalian sensory neurons
(2003-03)The main axons of mammalian sensory neurons are usually viewed as passive transmitters of sensory information. However, the spindle afferents of jaw-closing muscles behave as if action potential traffic along their central axons is phasically regulated ... -
The impact of stroke public awareness campaigns differs between sociodemographic groups
(Cambridge University Press, 2021-04-20)Background: Prehospital delays are a major obstacle to timely reperfusion therapy in acute ischemic stroke. Stroke sign recognition, however, remains poor in the community. We present an analysis of repeated surveys to assess the impact of Face, Arm, ...
