Phytoglycogen nanoparticles : nature-derived superlubricants
(American Chemical Society, 2021-05-07)Phytoglycogen nanoparticles (PhG NPs), a single-molecule highly branched polysaccharide, exhibit excellent water retention, due to the abundance of close-packed hydroxyl groups forming hydrogen bonds with water. Here we report lubrication properties ... -
Plasmon-free polymeric nanowrinkled substrates for surface-enhanced raman spectroscopy of two-dimensional materials
(American Chemical Society, 2020-12-21)We report plasmon-free polymeric nanowrinkled substrates for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). Our simple, rapid, and cost-effective fabrication method involves depositing a poly(ethylene glycol)diacrylate (PEGDA) prepolymer solution droplet ... -
Platelet function in aging
(Frontiers Media, 2019-08-07)Aging is associated with an increased incidence of cardiovascular disease and thrombosis. Platelets play a major role in maintaining hemostasis and in thrombus formation, making them a key player in thrombotic disorders. Whereas it is well-known that ... -
Platelet function tests
(Thieme Publishing, 2016-04)Traditionally developed for diagnosis of bleeding disorders, platelet function assays have become increasingly used in basic research on platelet physiology, in phenotype-genotype associations in bleeding disorders, in drug development as surrogate ... -
Platelet quiescence in patients with acute coronary syndrome undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery
(Wiley, 2021)BACKGROUND: The optimal antiplatelet strategy for patients with acute coronary syndromes who require coronary artery bypass surgery remains unclear. While a more potent antiplatelet regimen will predispose to perioperative bleeding, it is hypothesized ... -
Platelets selectively regulate the release of BDNF, but not that of its precursor protein, proBDNF
(Frontiers Media, 2020-11-25)Background: Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) plays a role in synaptic plasticity and neuroprotection. BDNF has well-established pro-survival effects, whereas its precursor protein, proBDNF, induces apoptosis. Thus, it has been suggested that ... -
Postoperative administration of the acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, donepezil, interferes with bone healing and implant osseointegration in a rat model
(MDPI, 2020-09-14)Donepezil is an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor commonly used to treat mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease. Its use has been associated with increased bone mass in humans and animals. However, the effect of postoperative administration of donepezil on ... -
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 ... -
Prescription channeling of COX-2 inhibitors and traditional nonselective nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs: a population-based case–control study
(2005)This pharmacoepidemiologic study was conducted to determine whether risk factors for upper gastrointestinal bleeding influenced the prescription of cyclo-oxygenase (COX)-2 inhibitors and traditional nonselective nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs ... -
Quantification of peptides in human synovial fluid using liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry
(Elsevier, 2018-04-06)A method to explore the stability of two anti-inflammatory peptides in human synovial fluid (HSF) has been developed and validated using liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The two peptides are BQ123 Cyclo(-D-Trp-D-A ... -
A quantitative UHPLC-MS/MS method for the growth hormone-releasing peptide-6 determination in complex biological matrices and transdermal formulations
A quantitative UPLC-MS/MS method for the growth hormone-releasing peptide-6 determination in complex biological matrices and transdermal formulations
(Elsevier, 2021-05-26)Growth hormone-releasing peptide-6 (GHRP-6) is part of a group of small synthetic peptides with potent GH-releasing activity that have gained attention in the last two decades by virtue of their cyto- and cardioprotective effects. Despite numerous ... -
A randomized double-blind feasibility study comparing cetirizine and diphenhydramine in the prevention of paclitaxel-associated infusion-related reactions : the PREMED-F1 study
(Springer, 2022-01-08)Purpose. Cetirizine is a less sedative alternative to diphenhydramine for the prevention of infusion-related reactions (IRR) to paclitaxel. However, its use remains controversial. In this study, we assessed feasibility for a future definitive ... -
Rationing hepatitis C treatment in the context of austerity policies in France and Cameroon : a transnational perspective on thepharmaceuticalization of healthcare systems
(Elsevier, 2017-03-28)New powerful drugs against hepatitis C can cure the disease, but they are not widely distributed because their exorbitant prices are destabilizing healthcare systems in both African and European countries. This article takes access to hepatitis C ... -
Recent developments in natural and synthetic polymeric drug delivery systems used for the treatment of osteoarthritis
(Elsevier, 2021-01-12)Osteoarthritis (OA), is a common musculoskeletal disorder that will progressively increase in older populations and is expected to be the most dominant cause of disability in the world population by 2030. The progression of OA is controlled by a ... -
The relational dimensions of pharmaceutical care : experience from caring for HIV-infected asylum seekers in Montréal
(Elsevier, 2019-09-03)By describing the experience from dispensing antiretroviral drugs to asylum seekers infected with HIV in Montreal we argue for the relational dimensions of pharmaceutical care. Between 2010 and 2016, the Government of Canada changed the medical coverage ... -
Release kinetics from nano-inclusion-based and affinity-based hydrogels: A comparative study
(Elsevier, 2017-06-15)In this study, we compare the release mechanisms from nanocomposite hydrogels. Liposomes made of different compositions of 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC) and 1,2-dihexadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC), nanogels made of ... -
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 ... -
