Abdominal motion tracking with free-breathing XD-GRASP acquisitions using spatio-temporal geodesic trajectories
Correction to: Abdominal motion tracking with free‑breathing XD‑GRASP acquisitions using spatio‑temporal geodesic trajectories
(Springer, 2022-01-14)Free-breathing external beam radiotherapy remains challenging due to the complex elastic or irregular motion of abdominal organs, as imaging moving organs leads to the creation of motion blurring artifacts. In this paper, we propose a radial-based MRI ... -

L'accord de l'adjectif chez les enfants francophones avec un trouble spécifique du langage
Adjective concord in Young French-speakers with specific language impairment
La concordancia adjetival en franco hablantes con trastorno especifico del lenguaje(École d'orthophonie et d'audiologie, 2010)En dépit du fait que l’étude de la production du syntagme nominal puisse fournir des données riches sur les phénomènes d’accord et de concordance, cette structure demeure peu étudiée. L’étude rapportée ici décrit l’accord intra-nominal, - c’est-à-dire ... -
L’acquisition du genre quand il est déjà acquis : l’expérience d’enfants hispanophones apprenant le français
The acquisition of gender once it has already been mastered: The experience of Spanish-speaking children learning French
(Orthophonie et Audiologie Canada, 2015)This study tests the acquisition of French in Spanish-speaking children by documenting the acquisition of noun phrases in sequential bilingual (Spanish-French) children, compared to native French speakers, matched according to age or language development ... -
Acquisition of French adjectives in Quebec French as revealed by elicitation data
Acquisition of Quebec French adjectives as revealed by elicitation data
(Cambridge University Press, 2010)This study presents data from an elicitation study on French size and color adjectives in noun phrases (DPs), both early acquired structures. Thirty-two francophone children aged 3–5 years participated in the study. Adjectives were elicited using ... -
Active nuclear import and cytoplasmic retention of activation-induced deaminase
(2009)The enzyme activation-induced deaminase (AID) triggers antibody diversification in B cells by catalyzing deamination and consequently mutation of immunoglobulin genes. To minimize off-target deamination, AID is restrained by several regulatory mechanisms ... -
Activity monitor placed at the non-paretic ankle is accurate in measuring step counts during community walking in post-stroke individuals : a validation study
(Wiley, 2019-01-28)Background: Different environmental factors may affect the accuracy of step-count activity monitors (AM). However, the validationconditions for AM accuracy largely differ from ecological environments.Objectives: To assess and compare the accuracy of ... -
Acute carotid stenting in patients undergoing thrombectomy : a systematic review and meta-analysis
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2020-06-12)Background The benefit of acute carotid stenting compared with no acute stenting on clinical outcomes among patients with tandem lesions (TL) undergoing endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) remains unknown. Methods We conducted a a systematic review and ... -
Acute insult of ammonia leads to calcium-dependent glutamate release from cultured astrocytes, an effect of pH
(2005)Hyperammonemia is a key factor in the pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy (HE) as well as other metabolic encephalopathies, such as those associated with inherited disorders of urea cycle enzymes and in Reye's syndrome. Acute HE results in increased ... -
Acute invariant NKT cell activation triggers an immune response that drives prominent changes in iron homeostasis
(Nature research, 2020-12-03)Iron homeostasis is an essential biological process that ensures the tissue distribution of iron for various cellular processes. As the major producer of hepcidin, the liver is central to the regulation of iron metabolism. The liver is also home to ... -

(American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, 2023-09-27)Purpose: Main concept (MC) analysis is a well-documented method of discourse analysis in adults with and without brain injury. This study aims to develop a MC checklist that is culturally and linguistically adapted for Canadian French speakers and ... -
The added value of quantitative ultrasound to shear-wave elastography for assessment of steatohepatitis in a rat model
(Institute of electrical and electronics engineers, 2019-12-08)Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is a highly prevalent condition, which may progress to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), an advanced form found in 3 to 5% of the population. As liver biopsy is invasive, there is a need for a non-invasive technique ... -
Addition of exogenous polypeptides on the mammalian reovirus outer capsid using reverse genetics
(Elsevier, 2012-02)Addition of exogenous peptide sequences on viral capsids is a powerful approach to study the process of viral infection or to retarget viruses toward defined cell types. Until recently, it was not possible to manipulate the genome of mammalian reovirus ... -
Adhesion and transcellular migration of neutrophils and B lymphocytes on fibroblasts
(2009)During tissue inflammation, infiltrated leukocytes may have physical contacts with fibroblasts. We observed that neutrophils and B lymphocytes adhered in a larger proportion than T cells on cultured fibroblasts. Microscopy showed that adhesion was also ... -
Adipose tissue (P)RR regulates insulin sensitivity, fat mass and body weight
(Elsevier, 2016-08-23)Objective We previously demonstrated that the handle-region peptide, a prorenin/renin receptor [(P)RR] blocker, reduces body weight and fat mass and may improve insulin sensitivity in high-fat fed mice. We hypothesized that knocking out the adipose ... -
