Contributing factors of unmet needs among young adult survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia with comorbidities
Unmet needs of childhood leukemia survivors
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2020-09-14)Purpose: This study aimed to: (1) describe the domains and levels of unmet needs of young adult survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (cALL) with comorbidities, and (2) to explore the factors associated with higher levels of unmet needs. ... -
Word-finding in confrontation naming and picture descriptions produced by individuals with early post-stroke aphasia
(Routledge, 2020-09-13)Objective The present study aims to assess the relationship between quantitative measures of connected speech production and performance in confrontation naming in early post-stroke aphasia (8-14 days post-stroke). Method: We collected connected speech ... -
Neuroanatomic correlates of distance and direction processing during cognitive map retrieval
(Frontiers Media, 2020-08-24)Navigating toward a goal and mentally comparing distances and directions to landmarks are processes requiring reading information off the memorized representation of the environment, that is, the cognitive map. Brain structures in the medial temporal ... -

(Équipe RENARD, 2020-08-12)Éditorial du numéro 1, volume 4 de la Revue Tuc, Revue francophone de recherche sur le transfert et l’utilisation des connaissances. -
Does practising hypnosis-derived communication techniques by oncology nurses translate into reduced pain and distress in their patients? : an exploratory study
(SAGE, 2020-06-27)Objectives: To explore the effects of a hypnotic communication (HC) training for pediatric nurses in decreasing patients’ pain and distress during venipunctures. Methods: A 4- day theoretical and practical HC training was offered to 5 pediatric ... -
Waking EEG functional connectivity in middle-aged and older adults with obstructive sleep apnea
(Elsevier, 2020-06-14)Objectives: The present study aimed at investigating changes in waking electroencephalography (EEG), most specifically regarding spectral power and functional connectivity, in middle-aged and older adults with OSA. We also explored whether changes ... -
Sleep spindles are resilient to extensive white matter deterioration
(Oxford University Press, 2020-06-13)Sleep spindles are an essential part of non-rapid eye movement sleep, notably involved in sleep consolidation, cognition, learning and memory. These oscillatory waves depend on an interaction loop between the thalamus and the cortex, which relies on ... -
Deformation-based shape analysis of the hippocampus in the semantic variant of primary progressive aphasia and Alzheimer’s disease
(Elsevier, 2020-06-03)Background Increasing evidence shows that the semantic variant of primary progressive aphasia (svPPA) is characterized by hippocampal atrophy. However, less is known about disease-related morphological hippocampal changes. The goal of the present study ... -
Task-induced functional connectivity of picture naming in healthy aging : the impacts of age and task complexity
(MIT Press, 2020-06-01)The topological organization of the brain, governed by the capacity of brain regions to synchronize their activity, allows for cost-effective performance during everyday cognitive activity. Functional connectivity is an fMRI method deemed task-specific ... -
Changes in regional cerebral perfusion over time in idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder
(Wiley, 2020-05-27)Background Idiopathic rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder is associated with increased risk of neurodegeneration, but the temporal evolution of regional perfusion, a marker of cerebral activity, has not been characterized. The objective of the ... -
Do professionals change their communication behaviours following a training in hypnosis-derived communication? : a feasibility study in pediatric oncology
(Elsevier, 2020-05-21)Objectives The purpose of this study was to test the feasibility of a training in hypnotic communication techniques (HCTech) for pediatric nurses to prevent procedural pain and distress in children during venipunctures. Specifically, this study aimed ... -
Inconsistencies between measures of cognitive dysfunction in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia survivors : description and understanding
Cognitive dysfunction in childhood leukemia survivors
(Wiley, 2020-05-11)Objectives The frequency of cognitive difficulties in childhood cancer survivors varies according to the measurement strategy. The goal of this research is to (a) describe agreements and differences between measures of working memory and attention (b) ... -
Mindful parenting programs in non-clinical contexts : a qualitative review of child outcomes and programs, and recommendations for future research
(Springer, 2020-05-07)Mindful parenting programs, providing mindfulness training for parents and caregivers, have been gaining increasing attention in recent years. Parents participating in these programs have reported benefits in emotional awareness, listening, and ... -
Moderate to severe acute pain disturbs motor cortex intracortical inhibition and facilitation in orthopedic trauma patients : a TMS study
(Public library of science, 2020-03-20)Objective Primary motor (M1) cortical excitability alterations are involved in the development and maintenance of chronic pain. Less is known about M1-cortical excitability implications in the acute phase of an orthopedic trauma. This study aims to ... -
Cerebral white matter diffusion properties and free‐water with obstructive sleep apnea severity in older adults
(Wiley, 2020-03-13)Characterizing the effects of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) on the aging brain could be key in our understanding of neurodegeneration in this population. Our objective was to assess white matter properties in newly diagnosed and untreated adults with ... -
Effects of menopause on sleep quality and sleep disorders : Canadian longitudinal study on aging
(Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2020-02-29)OBJECTIVES:Sleep complaints are common during the menopause transition. However, it is difficult to disentangle changes in sleep related to aging from those directly due to menopause. We compared sleep disorders in 45 to 60-year-old women in a large ... -
Validity of actigraphy for nighttime sleep monitoring in hospitalized patients with traumatic injuries
(American academy of sleep medicine, 2020-02-15)Study objectives: Sleep-wake disturbances are frequent among patients hospitalized for traumatic injuries but remain poorly documented due to the lack of tools validated for hospitalized patients. This study aimed to validate actigraphy for nighttime ... -
