Lubrication and wear protection of micro-structured hydrogels using bioinspired fluids
(American Chemical Society, 2018-11-21)We report the fabrication and the use of a bioinspired synovial fluid acting as a lubricant fluid and anti-wear agent at soft and porous chitosan hydrogel tribopairs. This synthetic synovial fluid is composed of sodium hyaluronate (HA) and a bottle-brush ... -
Effect of surface chemistry of polymeric nanoparticles on cutaneous penetration of cholecalciferol
(Elsevier, 2018-10-11)We investigated the influence of nanoparticle (NP) surface composition on different aspects of skin delivery of a lipophilic drug: chemical stability, release and skin penetration. Cholecalciferol was chosen as a labile model drug. Poly(lactic acid) ... -
Biomimetic bottle-brush polymer coatings for fabrication of ultra-low fouling surfaces
(Wiley, 2018-11-13)The increasing demand for long lasting antifouling surfaces has steered the development of accessible, novel, biocompatible and environmentally-friendly materials. Inspired by lubricin (LUB), a component of mammalian synovial fluid with excellent ... -
Clinical importance of thrombocytopenia in patients with acute coronary syndromes : a systematic review and meta-analysis
Thrombocytopenia in acute coronary syndromes
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-10-22)Thrombocytopenia (TP) is common in hospitalized patients. In the context of acute coronary syndromes (ACS), TP has been linked to adverse clinical outcomes. We present a systematic review and meta-analysis of the evidence on the clinical importance of ... -
Preparedness for the next epidemic : health and political issues of an emerging paradigm
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-03-08)‘Preparing for the next epidemic’ has been a recurrent theme in global health in recent years. Starting with SARS, by way of the Avian influenza, and intensifying after the 2013–2016 Ebola outbreak, the urgency of preparing for the next health ... -
Universal cures for idiosyncratic illnesses: a genealogy of therapeutic reasoning in the mental health field
(SAGE Publications, 2014-08)Over the past decades, there has been a significant increase in prescriptions of psychotropic drugs for mental disorders. So far, most of the explanations of the phenomenon have focused on the process of medicalization, but little attention has been ... -
Resistance and mutations of non-specificity in the field of anxietydepressive disorders in Canadian medical journals, 1950-1990
(Elsevier, 2014-12-03)Pharmaceuticalisation is a complex phenomenon, co-constitutive of what scholars identify as a pharmaceutical regime, comprised of networks of actors, institutions and artefacts as well as cognitive structures that underlie the production, promotion ... -
Insiders, smart drugs et pharmaceuticalisation : éléments pour une typologie de la nouvelle déviance conformiste
(Département de sociologie de l’Université du Québec à Montréal & Athéna éditions, 2016)La multiplication des usagers et usagères des smart drugs sur les campus universitaires, des go-pills dans l’armée ou encore des coast-to-coast chez les camionneurs de longue distance invite à revisiter la légitimité croissante des « usages adaptatifs ... -
Intermolecular interactions between Bottlebrush Polymers boost the protection of surfaces against frictional wear
(ACS Publications, 2018-05-30)Polymers exhibiting the bottlebrush (BB) architecture have excellent lubricating properties. However, to motivate their use in real life systems, they must also protect surfaces against frictional damage. In this article, we synthesized a library of ... -
Unified scaling of the structure and loading of nanoparticles formed via diffusion-limited coalescence
(American Chemical Society, 2018-04-30)The present study establishes the scaling laws describing the structure of spherical nanoparticles formed by diffusion-limited coalescence. We produced drug-loaded nanoparticles from a poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(d,l-lactic acid) diblock polymer (PEG-b-PLA) ...
