No full textThe adult frog retina retains a reservoir of active neural stem cells that contribute to continuous eye growth throughout life. We found that Yap, a downstream effector of the Hippo pathway, is specifically expressed in these stem cells. Yap knock-down leads to an accelerated S-phase and an abnormal progression of DNA replication, a phenotype likely mediated by upregulation of c-Myc. This is associated with an increased occurrence of DNA damage and eventually p53-p21 pathway-mediated cell death. Finally, we identified PKNOX1, a transcription factor involved in the maintenance of genomic stability, as a functional and physical interactant of YAP. Altogether, we propose that YAP is required in adult retinal stem cells to regulate the temporal firing of replication origins and quality control of replicated DNA. Our data reinforce the view that specific mechanisms dedicated to S-phase control are at work in stem cells to protect them from genomic instability
Role of saturated covers as oxygen buffers in cold climates
No full text[T]his report explores a hybrid-applied solution: the use of saturated covers, which involve lifting an elevated water table into a tailing impoundment that maintains saturation within the tailing profile without allowing excess water directly along the surface of the embankment. The objective of this project is to evaluate the efficacy of saturated covers in Northern regions by testing oxygen diffusion in a series of experiments with two levels of saturation using an instrumented column. While there has been some research detailing the beneficial use of saturated covers, such as in the Oxygen diffusion in saturated covers methodology and literature review (Gagne Turcotte et al., 2020) completed prior to this lab scale study, the methodology used within this study relied heavily on prediction variables/models: De and Kr, but
these proved to be more complicated than expected (Gagne Turcotte et al., 2020). Additionally, mine tailings by nature are rather unique and each sample of tailings has its own unique characteristics that need to be accounted for. Thus, the creation of this methodology occurred, with a specific emphasis on applied methods.--from IntroductionPublication is a an outcome of the oxygen diffusion in saturated covers project

Beneficios y costes en el uso de un intérprete profesional en el ámbito médico: meta-análisis de 35 estudios en los estados unidos
No full textLas barreras del idioma pueden tener consecuencias negativas para la salud de los
pacientes que no hablan inglés y pueden además traer aparejado un aumento de los costes para la
salud pública. Una de las soluciones sería recurrir a los servicios de unos intérpretes profesionales.
Sin embargo, el hecho de solicitar la participación de dichos profesionales sigue una práctica poco
extendida y la razón que se da a menudo es la falta de recursos financieros. ¿Tiene el uso de un
intérprete profesional un impacto positivo en la prestación de servicios de salud? ¿Qué tipos de
costes supone tal recurso? Para arrojar luz sobre este tema, se llevó a cabo el meta-análisis de
35 estudios científicos realizados en los Estados Unidos que abordan estos temas. La conclusión
más destacada es que la gestión médica del alófono se mejora de manera significativa y que los
costes incurridos son mínimos en comparación con los beneficios obtenidos.Language barriers can have negative consequences for non-English speaking patients’
health and, what’s more, lead to an increase in costs for public health. One of the solutions would
be to use professional interpreters. However, asking for the intervention of these professionals is not
common practice yet and the reason often given is the lack of financial resources. Does the use of a
professional interpreter positively impact the delivery of health care? What are the costs of such use? In order to shed light on this topic, we proceeded with a meta-analysis of 35 scientific studies
conducted in the United States that address these issues. The main result is that the improvement in
the medical management of the non-English speaking patient is noticeable and that the costs are
minimal compared to the obtained benefits
Avantages et Coûts du Recours à Un Interprète Professionnel en Milieu Médical : Méta-Analyse de 35 Études Menées aux États-Unis
No full textRésumé : Les barrières linguistiques peuvent avoir des conséquences négatives sur la santé des patients allophones et entraîner, de surcroît, une augmentation des coûts pour la santé publique. L’une des solutions serait de faire appel à des interprètes professionnels. Or, demander l’intervention de ces professionnels reste encore une pratique faiblement répandue et la raison souvent invoquée est le manque de moyens financiers. Le recours à un interprète professionnel influence-t-il positivement la trajectoire des soins de santé ? Quels sont les coûts de ce recours ? Pour éclairer cette problématique, nous avons procédé à la méta-analyse de 35 études scientifiques menées sur le sol américain qui abordent ces deux questions. Le résultat principal est que l’amélioration de la prise en charge médicale de l’allophone est sensible et que les coûts engagés sont minimes par rapport au bénéfice retiré.Resumen: Las barreras del idioma pueden tener consecuencias negativas para la salud de los pacientes que no hablan inglés y pueden además traer aparejado un aumento de los costes para la salud pública.
