Project description:Background The goal of this research project was to identify and suggest means of filling the gaps/needs in Canadian research activity and public policy action on the income and health relationship. Methods The research consisted of an environmental scan and analysis of 321 empirical research pieces from Canada (n=241), the United Kingdom (n=40) and Finland (n=40) followed by a systematic gaps/needs analysis of these studies by members of three advisory committees, consisting of researchers and policy advocates. These data were complemented by key informant interviews with researchers from Canada, the UK and Finland. The gaps/needs were then reviewed and assigned priority rankings by members of the three advisory committees. Findings Numerous gaps/needs in Canadian research on income and health were apparent. They fell into five main areas: (a) training and capacity building in addressing income as a health determinant; (b) developing adequate data and measures; (c) researching specific substantive health issues; (d) researching specific public policy areas; and (e) developing an understanding of the pathways and mechanisms mediating the income and health relationship. Members of the advisory committees achieved a high level of agreement concerning these gaps/needs and means of reducing them. Conclusions The Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and the Institute of Population Health should target specific research initiatives to help fill the identified gaps in knowledge. They should also work together with public policy institutes to synthesize findings concerning income, its distribution, and health, and help distribute these findings to the public in general and policy-makers in particular.

Project description:Cet article vise à offrir une vision d’ensemble des récentes évolutions des pratiques de recherche en psychologie. Un rappel des différents symptômes de la crise de la réplicabilité (et de confiance) ayant affecté la psychologie sera suivi par une discussion approfondie et nuancée des facteurs responsables de cette situation. Il s’agira ensuite, en s’appuyant sur des illustrations et des ressources, de démontrer le rôle crucial des pratiques de recherche ouvertes comme moyen de résoudre ces difficultés. La connaissance et l’adoption de ces pratiques de recherche popularisées par le mouvement de la science ouverte sont indispensables afin de contribuer, via la transparence et l’ouverture, à l’effort collectif d’amélioration de la fiabilité et de la réplicabilité des résultats en psychologie.

Project description:Background A review of infectious disease research activity and capacity was performed in British Columbia and linked to a process for identifying needs, gaps and opportunities from a public health perspective. Methods The study was organized in three phases: an environmental scan to describe current research activity in BC; a consultation to identify needs, gaps and opportunities with those conducting research (key informants) and the end users of research results (stakeholders); and a prioritization of the research needs emerging from the consultation. Results Analysis and synthesis of the consultation data resulted in the identification of nine research themes, which were prioritized in the following order: efficacy and cost-benefit, disease patterns, emerging infectious disease, immunology and vaccines, disease-specific research, health promotion and communications, safe food and water, knowledge translation research and genomics. Six capacity-building themes were also identified: attraction and retention, education and training, collaboration and networks, funding, dissemination of findings, and public health input, surveillance, informatics and databases. Interpretation The findings were helpful in developing a multi-disciplinary, multi-level infectious disease research agenda linking researchers in universities, hospitals and public health institutions with practitioners and policy-makers in British Columbia’s public health system. The approach is both feasible and important to undertake at the national level.

Project description:Introduction La maladie à coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19), due au SRAS-CoV-2, a été déclarée pandémie mondiale le 11 mars 2020. Concomitamment, de nombreux cas d’engelures ont été signalés et l’hypothèse selon laquelle ces lésions étaient liées à l’infection à Covid-19, en tant que forme pauci-symptomatique, a rapidement émergé. Matériel et méthodes Etude prospective monocentrique réalisée au CHU de Rouen durant la période de confinement. Tous les patients se présentant pour des engelures étaient inclus. Un bilan biologique standard, immunologique et une sérologie étaient réalisés chez tous les patients à J0 et J14. Les patients présentant des lésions jugées particulièrement sévères bénéficiaient de biopsies cutanées pour histologie standard, IFD, IFI utilisant un sérum de patient contenant des Ac anti-SARS-CoV-2 et RT-PCR SARS-CoV-2. Résultats Trent trois patients (14 femmes, 19 hommes) d’âge moyen 23,4 ± 8,7 ans étaient inclus. Tous présentaient des papules érythémateuses et purpuriques localisées sur les orteils ± doigts (12 patients, 36,4 %). Le délai médian entre l’apparition des symptômes et la première consultation était de 8 jours (IQR 6,5–18 jours). Les engelures étaient la seule manifestation clinique dans 23 cas (69,7 %) ; dix patients (30,3 %) ont présenté d’autres symptômes : asthénie (n = 4), toux (n = 3), diarrhée (n = 3), fièvre (n = 2), myalgies (n = 2), céphalées (n = 1) et odynophagie (n = 1). Trois patients récemment testés avaient un résultat négatif en RT-PCR sinusale. La biologie était normale chez 26 patients. Une lymphopénie légère (moyenne de 1,15 ± 0,21 G/L) était observée chez 7 patients. La CRP et la VS étaient normales chez tous. Deux patients avaient des FAN positifs et trois patients avaient une cryoglobulinémie de type III. La biopsie réalisée chez 5 patients montrait un infiltrat lymphocytaire dermique superficiel autour des vaisseaux et des glandes eccrines dans tous les cas. L’IFD montrait des dépôts de fibrinogène et de C3 sur les cellules endothéliales dans tous les cas. L’IFI et la RT-PCR sur peau lésionnelle étaient négatives. La sérologie ALBIA-Spike S1 était négative en IgG pour les 33 sérums à J0 et J14, tandis que 1/33 était positif en IgM à J0 et J14. Aucune séroconversion n’était observée (Figure 2). Nos résultats étaient confirmés par la sérologie Abbott® SARS-CoV-2 IgG réalisé sur les sérums du 14e jour, sans séropositivité décelable. Discussion Les données actuelles ne permettent pas d’affirmer qu’il existe un lien entre ces engelures et l’infection par le SARS-CoV-2. Les caractéristiques cliniques et histologiques étaient celles des engelures idiopathiques. Les RT-PCR et IFI sur peau lésionnelle étaient négatives. Par 2 techniques sérologiques différentes et à 2 temps différents, un seul sérum contenait des IgM (3 %), correspondant au taux d’infection par le SRAS-CoV-2 dans la population française.

Project description:Aboriginal peoples are the original inhabitants of Canada. These many diverse peoples have distinct languages, cultures, religious beliefs and political systems. The current dietary practices of Aboriginal peoples pose significant health risks. Interventions to improve the nutritional status of Aboriginal peoples must reflect the realities of how people make food choices and therefore should be informed by an understanding of contemporary patterns of food procurement, preparation and distribution. Most of the literature documenting the health of Aboriginal peoples is primarily epidemiologic, and there is limited discussion of the determinants that contribute to health status. The majority of studies examining dietary intake in Aboriginal communities do not aim to study the determinants of food intake per se even though many describe differences in food intake across sex, age groups, seasons and sometimes communities, and may describe factors that could have an effect on food consumption (e.g., employment status, level of education, household size, presence of a hunter/trapper/fisher, occupation, main source of income). For these reasons, there are many gaps in knowledge pertaining to the determinants of healthy eating in Aboriginal peoples that must be filled. Given the diversity of Aboriginal peoples, research to address the gaps should take place at both the national level and at a more local level. Research would be important for each of Inuit, Métis and First Nations.

Project description:The synthesis of 4-aza-niumyl-2,2,6,6-tetra-methyl-piperidin-1-ium diperchlorate, C9H22N22+·2ClO4-, was carried out from an aqueous reaction of perchloric acid with 4-amino-2,2,6,6-tetra-methyl-piperidine. This compound was characterized by TGA-DSC analysis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The piperidine ring of the dication adopts a chair conformation and the orientation of the C-NH3 bond is equatorial. One of the two crystallographically independent perchlorate anions exhibits disorder [occupancies 0.625?(7) and 0.375?(7)]. The crystal packing is constituted by a succession of mixed layers parallel to the (-102) plane, made up of C9H22N22+ dications and ClO4- anions. These ions are linked by normal and bifurcated N-H?O hydrogen bonds with R44(12) graph-set motifs, generating a two-dimensional network. The inter-molecular inter-actions in the crystal structure were qu-anti-fied and analysed using Hirshfeld surface analysis.

Project description:We wish to respond to the commentary of de la Iglesia et al. [1]. Studies comparing sleep in different communities have different goals. One frequent goal has been to determine how sleep is affected by manipulating specific 'modern' conditions. Many studies have investigated the effect of artificial light and electronic entertainment. Such studies have clearly shown that light, particularly blue light, delays sleep onset [2]. Studying the effect of artificial light on sleep was not a goal of our study.
