BACKGROUND Two sets of diagnostic criteria of paediatric multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) were published by Proulx in 1996 and by Goldstein in 2005. We hypothesized that this changes the epidemiology of MODS. Thus, we determined the epidemiology of MODS, according to these two sets of diagnostic criteria, we studied the intra- and inter-observer reproducibility of each set of diagnost...

Taxonomic status of Forsterinaria inornata magdalena (Hayward, 1957) from Cochabamba, Bolivia is revised, and a detailed redescription of adult male morphology, including the genitalia is presented. Forsterinaria Gray (1973) is a widespread neotropical genus, originally described by Forster (1964) as Haywardina, which turned out to be a junior homonym of Haywardina Aczél, 1952 (Diptera). It occ...

We studied HIV genetic diversity in a cohort of 127 pregnant, HIV-infected women who received prenatal care at Sainte-Justine Hospital in Montreal, Canada, between 1999 and 2003. Clade assignments were derived by phylogenetic analysis of amplified pol sequences. Genotyping was successful in 103 of 127 women, 59 (57.3%) of whom were infected with clade B HIV-1, and 44 (42.7%) with nonclade B vir...

The idea of bringing together the arts and sciences is not new. In almost every age, these two disciplines have had a difficult and fragile relationship. Where does this mutual fascination come from? What are the limits of this dialog? How can we avoid misunderstanding, and manage this encounter in a productive way? As an artist, I am often asked “Why do you need this?” Actually my answer is th...

INTRODUCTION The need for intubation after a noninvasive ventilation (NIV) failure is frequent in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). One reason is patient-ventilator asynchrony during NIV. Neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) is a mode of ventilation controlled by the patient's neural respiratory drive. The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility and tolerance of NIV-NAVA ...

This is a descriptive retrospective case series of 14 pregnant women treated with ondansetron for hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) at CHU Sainte-Justine, from January 2002 to October 2011. Two of the patients received ondansetron during two separate pregnancies. Both pregnancies were analyzed separately for the purposes of this study. Another woman had twins who were included in the analysis. Theref...

The development of any region or territory stems from its own dynamic nature. Economic activity and employment are stimulated by the number of local initiatives plus the crossfertilisation of those same initiatives. Globalisation, external constraints and technological change are therefore not really obstacles to be overcome but rather opportunities to be seized. In our experience, participator...
