Prenatal, concurrent, and sex-specific associations between blood lead concentrations and IQ in preschool Canadian children
(Elsevier, 2018-11-02)Background: Lead exposure predicts altered neurodevelopment and lower intelligence quotient (IQ) in children, but few studies have examined this association in children who have relatively low blood lead concentrations. Objectives: To test the associations ... -
Prevalence and correlates of prescription opioid residue injection
(Elsevier, 2016-09-01)Background: There is growing evidence of intravenous administration of prescription opioids (POs) in several countries. Preparation of POs for injection may leave residues in containers and filters used by people who inject drugs and may lead to adverse ... -
Preventing corneal calcification associated with xylazine for longitudinal optical coherence tomography in young rodents
(Association for research in vision and ophthalmology, 2017-01)PURPOSE. Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) is widely used in clinical ophthalmology and recently gained popularity in laboratory research involving small rodents. Its noninvasive nature allows repeated measurements, thereby ... -
Previous pregnancy outcomes and subsequent pregnancy anxiety in a Quebec prospective cohort
(Taylor & Francis, 2017-06)Introduction— Pregnancy anxiety is an important psychosocial risk factor that may be more strongly associated with adverse birth outcomes than other measures of stress. Better understanding of the upstream predictors and causes of pregnancy anxiety ... -
The priming of priming : Evidence that the N400 reflects context-dependent post-retrieval word integration in working memory
(Elsevier, 2017-05)Which cognitive processes are reflected by the N400 in ERPs is still controversial. Various recent articles(Lau et al., 2008; Brouwer et al., 2012) have revived the idea that only lexical pre-activation processes(such as automatic spreading activation, ... -
Prior history of feeding–swallowing difficulties in children with language impairment
(American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, 2017-02-01)Purpose This study updated and extended our previous investigation (Malas et al., 2015) of feeding–swallowing difficulties and concerns (FSCs) in children with language impairments (LI) by using more stringent inclusion criteria and targeting children ... -
Priorities and needs regarding sexual rehabilitation for individuals in the subacute phase post-stroke
(Springer, 2020-10-26)It is recommended that sexuality be addressed at all transition points along the continuum in stroke rehabilitation. However, little is known about needs specific to the subacute phase. (1) Explore priorities and needs of individuals who have had a ... -

Progressive resistance training prevents loss of muscle mass and strength in bile duct‐ligated rats
(Wiley, 2018-11-05)BACKGROUND: Loss of muscle mass and strength is common in cirrhosis and increases the risk of hyperammonaemia and hepatic encephalopathy. Resistance training optimizes muscle mass and strength in several chronic diseases. However, the ... -
The proprotein convertase PC5/6 is protective against intestinal tumorigenesis: In vivo mouse model
(2009)The secretory basic amino acid-specific proprotein convertases (PCs) have often been associated with cancer/metastasis. By controlling the cleavage of cancer-associated proteins, PCs play key roles in multiple steps of cancer development. Most analyses ... -

Prorenin/renin receptor blockade promotes a healthy fat distribution in obese mice
(Wiley, 2016-09)ObjectiveAdministration of the handle region peptide (HRP), a (pro)renin receptor blocker, decreases body weight gain and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) in high-fat/high-carbohydrate (HF/HC) diet-fed mice. The objective of this study was to elucidate ... -
Proximal-to-distal sequences of attack and release movements of expert pianists during pressed-staccato keystrokes
(Taylor and Francis, 2021-08-12)The aims of this study were to i) evaluate proximal-to-distal sequencing (PDS) in pianists’ attack and release movements during pressed-staccato keystrokes, and ii) investigate if trunk motion facilitates PDS of upper-limb movements. Nine expert pianists ... -
Psychiatric services utilization in completed suicides of a youth centres population
(2006)BACKGROUND:From a retrospective study of youth centres (YCs) and coroner's files, we investigated youths' history of medical service utilization who died by suicide. This is the second of two papers on YCs population, the first paper having shown that ... -
Pubertal maturation and sex effects on the default-mode network connectivity implicated in mood dysregulation
(Springer Nature, 2019-02-25)This study examines the effects of puberty and sex on the intrinsic functional connectivity (iFC) of brain networks, with a focus on the default-mode network (DMN). Consistently implicated in depressive disorders, the DMN’s function may interact with ... -
QT interval measurement and correction in patients with atrial flutter : a pilot study
(Elsevier, 2014)Background and Purpose Measurement of QT intervals during atrial flutter (AFL) is relevant to monitor the safety of drug delivery. Our aim is to compare QT and QTc intervals in AFL patients before and after catheter ablation in order to validate QT ... -
