The adaptation of parents to a disabled infant was studied in relation the type disability presented by baby. Participants were divided according three types and one control group: infants with (1) Down’s syndrome (DS), (2) congenital heart disease (CHD), (3) cleft lip and/or palate (CLP), (4) no (ND). data collected using self‐administered questionnaire given each parent 6 months after birth their measures included parenting stress, stress appraisal, psychological distress. Overall, results...
Canine transmissible venereal tumour (CTVT) is a clonally cancer that originated approximately 11,000 years ago and affects dogs worldwide. Despite the clonal origin of CTVT nuclear genome, mitochondrial genomes (mtDNAs) have been acquired by periodic capture from transient hosts. We sequenced 449 complete mtDNAs global population CTVTs, show mtDNA horizontal transfer has occurred at least five times, delineating clades whose distributions track two millennia dog migration. Negative...
The canine transmissible venereal tumor (CTVT) is a cancer lineage that arose several millennia ago and survives by "metastasizing" between hosts through cell transfer. somatic mutations in this record its phylogeography evolutionary history. We constructed time-resolved phylogeny from 546 CTVT exomes describe the lineage's worldwide expansion. Examining variation mutational exposure, we identify highly context-specific process operated early cancer's evolution but subsequently vanished,...
Abstract Evaluation of the therapeutic alliance is crucial for understanding process and its results. However, few instruments are available in French. This article aims to validate a French short form Working Alliance Inventory (WAI). Unlike other questionnaires, WAI most widely used psychotherapy research as well social psychiatry. Confirmatory factor analyses were carried out on sample 150 client‐case manager dyads order determine validity this short‐form instrument. The results these...
The CAGE scale is a short test developed in the 1970s to screen for alcoholism or covert drinking problems. reliability and validity of has been demonstrated majority studies conducted clinical settings, but general population surveys not yet shown conclusively.The goal this study was assess criterion survey.Data from large health survey 1992 province Quebec (Canada) (N = 23,564) were used define various measures heavy problems calculate, male female drinkers separately, standard...
Abstract This study examines the effect of early relational antecedents (ERA, i.e. quality parenting parents recalled receiving as children), stress, marital socio‐economic factors and children's characteristics (gender disability condition) on parental sensitivity mothers fathers. The sample consisted 116 84 fathers 117 eighteen month old children drawn from a larger longitudinal adaptation to child with disability. Thirty‐four were diagnosed Down syndrome (DS), 51 cleft lip and/or palate...
Canine mast cell tumours (MCTs) typically spread to lymph nodes (LNs) before reaching distant sites, and LN assessment is an important part of MCT staging. Sentinel (SLN) mapping techniques identify draining LNs are being developed could improve the accuracy The primary objective this feasibility study was determine safety effectiveness contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) SLNs. Secondary objectives were if SLNs identified by CEUS coincided with regional predicted anatomical lymphosomes,...
Abstract Autonomous replication and segregation of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) creates the potential for evolutionary conflict driven by emergence haplotypes under positive selection ‘selfish’ traits, such as replicative advantage. However, few cases this phenomenon arising within natural populations have been described. Here, we survey frequency mtDNA horizontal transfer canine transmissible venereal tumour (CTVT), a contagious cancer clone that occasionally acquires from its hosts....
Objective: This study examines, in a general population, how the association of wives' alcohol use with their husbands' is mediated by social conditions such as working and child-rearing roles, age, marital happiness socioeconomic levels. Method: Data come from Québec Health Social Survey 1992-93. The sample comprised 6,582 couples; 3,872 couples after weighting. Regression analyses assessed contribution drinking to drinking, independently, well interaction conditions. Frequency frequency...
The purpose of this study was to qualitatively explore and describe the evaluation a psychiatric day hospital by group participants. Clients attending between 1999 2003 completed program questionnaire during their last week (N = 567). A qualitative content analysis 104 questionnaires conducted three investigators. Results indicated that clients had both positive negative views health care professionals, structure, therapy. Participants highlighted they learned about themselves illness,...

The examined degree acceptability for several specific conditions as well physicians' perceptions their role women's decision to abort. shows consensus (over 75 per cent surveyed) aborting fetus with trisomy 21.

Abstract Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) cut‐offs for antimicrobial prophylaxis in veterinary cancer chemotherapy patients are empirical and vary between institutions. Evidence based vital stewardship, particularly as global resistance rises. The primary objectives of this study were to evaluate the tolerability a <0.75 × 10 9 /l ANC cut‐off dogs after receiving its impact on prescription. Predicted nadir ANCs (pnANCs) stratified into six groups (<0.75 [receiving prophylaxis],...
A nine–year‐old female neutered Somali cat presented with a one‐month history of weight loss and inappetance. Thoracic radiographs revealed an extensive cranial mediastinal mass, fine needle aspirate cytology core biopsies were initially suggestive thymoma. The mass was excised via mid‐ine sternotomy partial pericardectomy. Clinical signs recurred four weeks postsurgery investigations recurrence pleural effusion additional small to the right kidney.

Based on a sample of 2,015 adult drinkers from the Montreal metropolitan area (Quebec, Canada), this study investigates relationship between eight social representations drinking (i.e., compensatory, convivial, relaxing, disinhibitory, harmful, sexually enhancing, conventional, socially enabling) and measures (QF Index, frequency, maximum number drinks one occasion) according to age sex. The explain up 34% variance in measures. Representations differed strength their relation population...
Aim – Instruments to measure the process - daily activities of home care workers have received little attention and may impede research in refining active ingredients, clientele best served continuous quality improvement. We developed a decade ago Quebec, Canada, new contact log ( relevé quotidien des contacts or RQC ) that has now reached practice 1 million entries. Methods Three features distinguish development, namely, practical ergonomics, clear logic, response categories easy understand...
Today's political climate is turbulent and polarized. It appears that liberals conservatives their respective parties are continuing to grow further apart ideologically, making it increasingly difficult work together for the good of our country. Marketing researchers use segmentation positioning analysis gain a better understanding consumers' perceptions increase success in marketplace. In this paper, we demonstrate these same multivariate methods can be used investigate current climate....
Chez les patients schizophrènes adultes, l'incidence des dyskinésies tardives (DT) durant premiers cinq ans de traitement aux neuroleptiques peut atteindre 35 %.
