INTRODUCTION The frail elderly in Canada face a tough decision when they start to lose autonomy: whether to stay at home or move to another location. This study seeks to scale up and evaluate the implementation of shared decision-making (SDM) in interprofessional (IP) home care teams caring for elderly clients or their caregivers facing a decision about staying at home or moving elsewhere. ME...

The fine structure constant α sets the scale of the electromagnetic interaction so it can be determined in different domains of physics. As α is dimensionless, it does not depend on any unit system. Hence this allows the comparison of various accurate determinations which constitutes an interesting test of the consistency of physics. The most precise determination of α comes from the measuremen...

This article introduces the system concept, specifications, and some measurement results for the Advanced Wireless IP Access System (Advanced WIPAS) compatible with fiber to the home (FTTH), for which a prototype was developed in March 20 0 (IP: Internet protocol). A wireless terminal prototype aimed at commercial use has been completed. Advanced WIPAS is a fixed wireless access system that can...

BACKGROUND Shared decision making (SDM) is fundamental to informed consent and client-centered care. So far, SDM frameworks have been limited to the client-physician dyad, even though care is increasingly delivered by interprofessional (IP) teams. IP collaboration is especially essential in home care, one of health care's most rapidly growing areas. This study will assess whether it is possible...

Incontinentia pigmenti (IP) is a rare genetic multisystem disorder that may affect many organs including the skin, bone, eyes and the central nervous system. Central nervous system manifestations are seen in 30% of cases with seizures and mental retardation. Seizures occurring as the presenting sign of IP are rarely reported. We report a case of a female newborn with IP who had seizures on day ...

Incontinentia pigmenti (IP) is an uncommon genodermatosis that usually occurs in female infants. It is characterized by ectodermal, mesodermal, neurological, ocular, and dental manifestations. The aim of this study was to clarify clinical symptoms, accompanying diseases, and complications of IP. Forty cases of IP have been reviewed by their medical records, laboratory data, clinical photographs...

Let X be a projective algebraic manifold and let CH(X) be the Chow group of algebraic cycles of codimension r on X, modulo rational equivalence. Working with a candidate Bloch-Beilinson filtration {F }ν≥0 on CH(X)⊗Q due to the second author, we construct a space of arithmetic Hodge theoretic invariants ∇J(X) and corresponding map φ X : Gr F CH(X)⊗Q → ∇J(X), and determine conditions on X for whi...

Incontinentia pigmenti (IP) is an X-linked dominant disorder of neuroectodermal development. Based on the observation of six unrelated females with clinical features of nonfamilial IP with constitutional de novo reciprocal X;autosome translocations, a putative incontinentia pigmenti type 1 locus (IP1; MIM No. 308300) was localized to region Xp11.21. Using available regional DNA markers, we cons...

Background: Incontinentia pigmenti (IP), also known as Bloch-Sulzberger syndrome, is a rare X-linked dominant genodermatosis that presents at the time of birth or soon after birth with cutaneous manifestation. This disorder may also affect the ectodermal tissues, such as the central nervous system, skeletal system, eyes, hair, nails, and teeth. The dermatological findings occur in four successi...

Towards the end of the past century, IJnna and Besnier published their studies on histopathology of eczema (now often called "allergic eczematous contact-type dermatitis" a name coined by Sulzberger to distinguish this entity from atopic dermatitis and circumscribed lichen simplex). These descriptions are now classics and have been extensively quoted in most well-known textbooks of dermatology....
