Facilitators and obstacles to the use of a cognitive orthosis for meal preparation within the homes of adults with a moderate to severe traumatic brain injury : informal caregivers and health-care professionals’ perspectives
(Taylor and Francis, 2021-01-04)A cognitive orthosis named COOK was developed and implemented to facilitate meal preparation for adults with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) living in an alternative housing unit. This study aimed to explore facilitators and barriers to the potential ... -
The factors contributing to teacher predictions of spelling ability, and the accuracy of their assessments
(Canadian Society for Studies in Education, 2016)In this study, teachers of kindergarten and Grade 1 French-speaking students indicated the likelihood their students would develop later writing difficulties. Results showed that language measures, language background, the education levels of parents, ... -
Factors influencing clinicians’ referral or admission decisions for post-acute stroke or traumatic brain injury rehabilitation : a scoping review
(Wiley, 2021-08-13)Demand for post-acute stroke and traumatic brain injury (TBI) rehabilitation outweighs resource availability. Every day, clinicians face the challenging task of deciding which patient will benefit or not from rehabilitation. The objectives of this ... -
Familial deletion 18p syndrome: case report
(2006)BACKGROUND:Deletion 18p is a frequent deletion syndrome characterized by dysmorphic features, growth deficiencies, and mental retardation with a poorer verbal performance. Until now, five families have been described with limited clinical description. ... -
Fear of movement in children and adolescents undergoing major surgery : a psychometric evaluation of the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia
(Wiley, 2020-09-22)Background The objective of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the 17-item Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK) in youth. Methods Participants were 264 children and adolescents (58.7% female, Mage = 14.1 years, SDage = 2.51) ... -
Feasibility of shear wave sonoelastography to detect endoleak and evaluate thrombus organization after endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm
(Springer, 2020-03-04)Purpose To investigate the feasibility of shear wave sonoelastography (SWS) for endoleak detection and thrombus characterization of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) after endovascular repair (EVAR). Materials and methods Participants who underwent ... -
Feature-based tracking of urethral motion in low-resolution trans-perineal ultrasound
(2011-12-01)This paper describes a novel algorithm for tracking the motion of the urethra from trans-perineal ultrasound. Our work is based on the structure-from-motion paradigm and therefore handles well structures with ill-defined and partially missing boundaries. ... -
Finite element model of the shoulder with active rotator cuff muscles : application to wheelchair propulsion
(Springer, 2024-02-20)Purpose: The rotator cuff is prone to injury, remarkably so for manual wheelchair users. To understand its pathomechanisms, finite element models incorporating threedimensional activated muscles are needed to predict soft tissue strains during ... -
Finite volume stiffness matrix for solving anisotropic cardiac propagation in 2-D and 3-D unstructured meshes
(Institute of electrical and electronics engineers, 2005-07-11)The finite volume method (FVM) has been shown recently to be an effective method for discretizing the reaction-diffusion equations that govern wavefront propagation in anisotropic cardiac tissue, as it can naturally handle both complex geometries and ... -
Fitting local repolarization parameters in cardiac reaction-diffusion models in the presence of electrotonic coupling
(Elsevier, 2017)Background: Repolarization gradients contribute to arrhythmogenicity. In reaction–diffusion models of cardiac tissue, heterogeneities in action potential duration (APD) can be created by locally modifying an intrinsic membrane kinetics parameter. ... -
Flt3L-Mediated expansion of plasmacytoid dendritic cells suppresses HIV infection in humanized mice
(Cell Press, 2019-11-26)Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (plasmacytoid DC, pDC) are major IFN-I producers and have been shown to be affected by HIV through ill-defined mechanisms. In this study, we directly assess the role of pDC in early infection, evaluating whether modulating ... -
fNIRS-EEG study of focal interictal epileptiform discharges
(Elsevier, 2014-03)Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) acquired with electroencephalography (EEG) is a relatively new non-invasive neuroimaging technique with potential for long term monitoring of the epileptic brain. Simultaneous EEG-fNIRS recording allows the ... -
Formation and differentiation of multiple mesenchymal lineages during lung development is regulated by {beta}-catenin signaling
(Public Library of Science, 2008)BACKGROUND: The role of ss-catenin signaling in mesodermal lineage formation and differentiation has been elusive. METHODOLOGY: To define the role of ss-catenin signaling in these processes, we used a Dermo1(Twist2)(Cre/+) line to target a floxed ... -
Formation par concordance de script en orthophonie : récit de pratique en évaluation des troubles acquis de la communication
Using learning-by-concordance in speech-language pathology : pilot study in assessment of acquired neurogenic communication impairments
(EDP Sciences, 2023-07-13)Contexte : Le programme de maîtrise professionnelle en orthophonie de l’Université de Montréal a connu une refonte complète de programme en 2020, et s’inscrit maintenant dans une approche par compétence. La formation par concordance de script (FpC) a ... -
Framing the care of injured workers : an empirical four-jurisdictional comparison of workers’ compensation boards’ healthcare policies
(Springer, 2022-01-17)Purpose: The objective of this study was to explore how workers’ compensation policies related to healthcare provision for workers with musculoskeletal injuries can affect the delivery and trajectories of care for injured workers. The principal research ... -
The French noun phrase in preschool children with SLI: morphosyntactic and error analyses
French noun phrase
(Cambridge University Press, 2013-11-13)We studied spontaneous speech noun-phrase production in eight French-speaking children with SLI (aged 5;0 to 5;11 months) and controls matched on age (4;10 to 5;11 months) or MLU (aged 3;2 to 4;1 months). Results showed that children with SLI ... -

Frequency of Chromosome Healing and Interstitial Telomeres in 40 Cases of Constitutional Abnormalities
(S. Karger AG, Basel, 2009-09-04)Human telomeres play a major role in stabilizing chromosome ends and preventing fusions. Chromosomes bearing a broken end are rescued by the acquisition of a new telomeric cap without any subtelomeric sequences being present at the breakpoint, a process ... -
Functional characterization of CaVα2δ mutations associated with sudden cardiac death
(Elsevier, 2015-01-30)L-type Ca(2+) channels play a critical role in cardiac rhythmicity. These ion channels are oligomeric complexes formed by the pore-forming CaVα1 with the auxiliary CaVβ and CaVα2δ subunits. CaVα2δ increases the peak current density and improves the ... -
