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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
2D, 3D and 4D active compound delivery in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine
(2015-07-01)
Recent advances in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine have shown that controlling cells microenvironment during growth is a key element to the development of successful therapeutic system. To achieve such control, ...
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 ...
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 ...
Effect of polymer architecture on Curcumin 1 encapsulation and release from PEGylated polymer nanoparticles: toward a drug delivery nano-platform to the CNS
(2015-10-01)
We developed a nanoparticles (NPs) library from poly(ethylene glycol)–poly lactic acid comb-like polymers with variable amount of PEG. Curcumin was encapsulated in the NPs with a view to develop a delivery platform to treat ...
Effect of Polymer Architecture on the Structural and Biophysical Properties of PEG-PLA Nanoparticles
(2015-05-01)
Polymers made of poly(ethylene glycol) chains grafted to poly(lactic acid) chains (PEG-g-PLA) were used to produce stealth drug nanocarriers. A library of comb-like PEG-g-PLA polymers with different PEG grafting densities ...
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 ...
