Head‐to‐Head comparison of consensus‐recommended platelet function tests to assess P2Y12 Inhibition : insights for multi‐center trials
(MDPI, 2020)The vasodilator‐associated stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP) phosphorylation level is a highly specific method to assess P2Y12 receptor inhibition. Traditionally, VASP phosphorylation is analyzed by flow cytometry, which is laborious and restricted ... -
Hotspot or blind spot? Historical perspectives on surveillance and response to epidemics in the Central African Republic
(Springer, 2020-02-12)Objectives The Central African Republic (CAR), a site of recurrent disease emergence, developed a noteworthy epidemiological surveillance system from the colonial period, but its health measures have remained among the world’s lowest. To understand ... -
Hydration forces at solid and fluid biointerfaces
(American Vacuum Society, 2016-01)We review the different molecular mechanisms giving rise to the repulsive hydration force between biologically relevant surfaces such as lipid bilayers and bio-ceramics. As we will show, the hydration force manifests itself in very different and ... -
Impact of discretization of the timeline for longitudinal causal inference methods
(Wiley, 2020-09-01)In longitudinal settings, causal inference methods usually rely on a discretization of the patient timeline that may not reflect the underlying data generation process. This paper investigates the estimation of causal parameters under discretized ... -
Implications of the antiplatelet therapy gap left with discontinuation of prasugrel in Canada
(Elsevier, 2020-12-16)Background The current Canadian Cardiovascular Society antiplatelet therapy guidelines recommend the use of ticagrelor or prasugrel over clopidogrel as first-line platelet P2Y12 receptor antagonists for treatment of moderate- to high-risk acute coronary ... -
(In)stability of ligands at the surface of inorganic nanoparticles : a forgotten question in nanomedicine?
(Elsevier, 2022-06-14)Multiple inorganic nanoparticles (NPs) are currently being developed for nanomedicine. Various core materials and shapes are explored, but they all display a common hybrid structure, with organic ligands on their surface. These ligands play a key role ... -
Increased platelet reactivity and platelet–leukocyte aggregation after elective coronary bypass surgery
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-11-13)Inflammatory mechanisms are activated, and thrombotic complications occur during the initial months after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Therefore, changes over time of platelet activation and platelet–leukocyte interactions after CABG are ... -
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 ... -
Interaction forces between pegylated star-shaped polymers at mica surfaces
(American Chemical Society, 2017-08-03)We present a study focused on characterizing the interaction forces between mica surfaces across solutions containing star-shaped polymers with cationic ends. Using the Surface Forces Apparatus, we show that the interaction forces in pure water between ... -
Interfacial forces across ionic liquid solutions : effect of ion concentration and water domains
(American Chemical Society, 2019-07-23)Using the surface force apparatus (SFA), the interaction forces between mica surfaces across ionic liquid (IL) solutions are studied. The IL solution, 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide in propylene carbonate solvent, is used ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Mechanistic insights into the directed assembly of hydrogel blocks mediated by polyelectrolytes or microgels
(2017-04-18)In this study, we report the directed assembly of hydrogel blocks mediated by electrostatic interactions. We compared two different assembly mechanisms, one mediated by microgel particles and another mediated by direct interaction between ... -
A meta-analysis of the effect of paper versus digital reading on reading comprehension in health professional education
(American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy, 2021-12-29)Objective. Despite a rise in the use of digital education in health professional education (HPE), little is known about the comparative effectiveness of paper-based reading and its digital alternative on reading comprehension. The objectives of this ... -
Modeling treatment effect modification in multidrug-resistant tuberculosis in an individual patient data meta-analysis
(SAGE, 2021)Effect modification occurs while the effect of the treatment is not homogeneous across the different strata of patient characteristics. When the effect of treatment may vary from individual to individual, precision medicine can be improved by identifying ... -
Monoclonal antibodies and immunotherapy : theory and applications
(2023-06-27)The primary goal of this course is to provide the theoretical background necessary to better understand the mechanism of immunotherapy and in particular the mode of action of monoclonal antibodies currently available in immunotherapy. -
Monoclonal antibodies and immunotherapy : theory and applications
(2024)This document is an update of a previous one published on the Papyrus site of the University of Montreal in 2023. It takes into account new therapeutic targets as well as monoclonal antibodies approved last year by the FDA. This update consists of ... -
A multi-modal miniature surface forces apparatus (µSFA) for interfacial science measurements
(American Chemical Society, 2019-07-30)Advances in the research of intermolecular and surface interactions result from the development of new and improved measurement techniques and combinations of existing techniques. Here, we present a new miniature version of the Surface Force Apparatus ... -
Nanonization of megestrol acetate by laser fragmentation in aqueous milieu
(2011-02-10)Nanonization is a simple and effective method to improve dissolution rate and oral bioavailability of drugs with poor water solubility. There is growing interest to downscale the nanocrystal production to enable early preclinical evaluation of new ... -
Nanoparticle heterogeneity : an emerging structural parameter 2 influencing particle fate in biological media?
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018-11-27)Drug nanocarriers’ surface chemistry is often presumed to be uniform. For instance, the polymer surface coverage and distribution of ligands on nanoparticles are described with averaged values obtained from quantification techniques based on particle ...
