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 ... -
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 ... -
Synergy between zwitterionic polymers and hyaluronic acid enhances antifouling performance
(American Chemical Society, 2019-09-03)Challenges associated with nonspecific adsorption of proteins on sensor surfaces have steered the development of novel antifouling materials and strategies. Inspired by human synovial fluid composition and structure, we designed synergistic antifouling ... -
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 ... -
Chitosan hydrogel micro-bio-devices with complex capillary patterns via reactive-diffusive self-assembly
(Elsevier, 2019-08-29)We present chitosan hydrogel microfluidic devices with self-assembled complex microcapillary patterns, conveniently formed by a diffusion-reaction process. These patterns in chitosan hydrogels are formed by a single-step procedure involving diffusion ... -
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 ... -
Electrostatic screening length in “soft” electrolyte solutions
(American Chemical Society, 2019-07-30)Using the Surface Forces Apparatus on solutions of polymeric ions, the effect of specific ion–ion correlations is evaluated on the characteristic decay length, λ, of screened electrostatic interactions between charged surfaces. Electrolyte solutions ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Data-adaptive longitudinal model selection in causal inference with collaborative targeted minimum loss-based estimation
(Wiley, 2019)Causal inference methods have been developed for longitudinal observationalstudy designs where confounding is thought to occur over time. In particular,one may estimate and contrast the population mean counterfactual outcomeunder specific exposure ... -
Estimating treatment importance in multidrug-resistant tuberculosis using Targeted Learning : an observational individual patient data network meta-analysis
Estimating MDR-TB treatment importance using TMLE
(Wiley, 2019)Persons with multidrug‐resistant tuberculosis (MDR‐TB) have a disease resulting from a strain of tuberculosis (TB) that does not respond to at least isoniazid and rifampicin, the two most effective anti‐TB drugs. MDR‐TB is always treated with multiple ... -

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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Causal inference with multiple concurrent medications: a comparison of methods and an application in multidrug-resistant tuberculosis
(SAGE, 2018-10-31)This paper investigates different approaches for causal estimation under multiple concurrent medications. Our parameter of interest is the marginal mean counterfactual outcome under different combinations of medications. We explore parametric and ... -
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 ... -
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) ...
