Researchers are tracking and identifying ticks in Canada because of concerns that climate change is allowing the disease-carrying parasites to spread further north. We talk to Robert Colautti, an associate professor in the department of biology at Queen's University in Kingston, Ont., and a member of the Canadian Lyme Disease Research Network; and Jade Savage, a professor in the department of biological sciences at Bishop's University in Sherbrooke, Que., who runs a tick-tracking website and app called eTick.

Synthia Edima Mbala est une jeune étudiante camerounaise de 29 ans, maman d'un garçon de deux ans et épouse. Elle vit à Sherbrooke au Québec. Avec Diane Audrey, elles parlent de maladie mentale et des non-dits qui l'entourent. Synthia a découvert sa bipolarité à 16 ans après un séjour en hôpital psychiatrique. Les mots de Diane Audrey : Synthia est le second épisode que nous réalisons à distance. Comme celui de Louise, Il est peut être beaucoup plus rassurant pour certains de mes invité.e.s. J'ai apprécié faire cet épisode car Synthia a pris la peine de libérer la parole sur ses troubles mentaux afin que ceux et celles qui en souffrent aient et gardent espoir. Elle m'a dit : « j'ai un diagnostic de bipolarité depuis mes 16 ans, mais cela ne m'empêche pas de vivre ma vie. J'ai des rêves, de l'ambition et des projets de vie comme tout le monde mais mon plus grand souhait par dessus tout est de démystifier les maladies mentales au sein de la population ». En effet, il y a encore beaucoup de tabous autour de la maladie mentale. Cela fait en sorte que l'on ne comprend pas toujours de quoi il s'agit et qu'il y a plusieurs fausses idées qui circulent à ce sujet. Dans un premier temps, il faut différencier la santé mentale de la maladie mentale.  La santé mentale est la capacité qu'a chacun d'entre nous de ressentir, de penser et d'agir de manière à améliorer notre aptitude à jouir de la vie et à relever les défis auxquels nous sommes confrontés. Les maladies mentales sont caractérisées par des altérations de la pensée, de l'humeur ou du comportement (ou une combinaison des trois) associées à un état de détresse et à un dysfonctionnement marqués. D'après différentes études, les troubles bipolaires débutent le plus souvent à l'adolescence entre 15 et 19 ans soit par un épisode dépressif soit par un épisode maniaque. C'est à 16 ans après son premier séjour en hôpital psychiatrique que sa tante lui dit que sa mère aussi avait la même maladie… et plus tard son père lui dira que sa grand-mère aussi. Malgré sa volonté d'en savoir plus, sa mère n'a jamais souhaité avoir cette conversation en lui demandant constamment de se tourner vers la réligion.  À l'écoute de Synthia, Les troubles bipolaires retentissent sur la personne touchée mais aussi sur ses proches. Les proches peuvent avoir un rôle crucial dans les processus du traitement de la bipolarité, par leur présence, leur disponibilité, leur compréhension et leur volonté d'aider.

In this episode, Dr. Jacob Fleming interviews Dr. Olivier Clerk-Lamalice about basivertebral nerve ablation for vertebrogenic back pain, including indications, procedure technique and exciting tech on the horizon in minimally invasive spine interventions. --- CHECK OUT OUR SPONSOR RADPAD® Radiation Protection https://www.radpad.com/ --- SHOW NOTES Dr. Clerk-Lamalice trained in Canada, first in engineering, and then medicine and diagnostic radiology at the Université de Sherbrooke in Calgary. He then completed a neuroradiology fellowship at Harvard, and a fellowship in interventional pain at The Spine Fracture Institute in Oklahoma City with Dr. Douglas Beall. Furthermore, he obtained his credentials as a fellow of interventional pain practice (FIPP), which is a widely recognized international designation. He now works at a comprehensive outpatient radiology center, where he practices both diagnostic and interventional radiology daily. They offer intrathecal drug administration, spinal cord stimulators, vertebral augmentation, Spine Jack, disc augmentation, nucleolysis, and various nerve blocks and ablations in and out of the spine. Their goal was to create a one stop shop for patients to come for consultation, imaging, expert advice and treatment. Next, we discuss vertebrogenic back pain and the basivertebral nerve (BVN). The BVN is a nonmyelinated, intraosseous nerve, while most other peripheral nerves are myelinated, meaning they can regenerate. The BVN cannot, so ablation of this nerve is a permanent treatment. It is located within the central portion of the vertebral body midway between the superior and inferior end plates, one third ventral to the posterior wall of the vertebral body. On a sagittal T2 sequence on MRI, there is a triangle at the posterior aspect at the midpoint of the vertebral body called the basivertebral canal, which contains the nerve, artery and vein. The BVN is responsible for vertebrogenic back pain, which is a form of anterior column pain characterized by low back pain worsened by flexion and sitting. It is diagnosed via MRI using the Modic classifications. Modic type 1 (edematous), and type 2 (fibrofatty end plate) changes can be seen in this disease. It can be difficult to distinguish vertebrogenic from discogenic pain due to the fact that the sinuvertebral nerve (SVN), responsible for discogenic pain, crosses paths with the BVN. However, with MRI and an anesthetic discogram, it is possible to determine the etiology and choose the right treatment. Finally, we discuss the steps of the procedure. Dr. Clerk-Lamalice uses an 8 gauge needle via a transpedicular approach, as is common for other spine procedures. He ensures the probe is positioned in the center of the vertebral body, parallel to the endplates. The nerve is ablated for 15 minutes at 85 C. The procedure takes 45 minutes, which includes an epidural steroid injection to bridge pain control during the periprocedural period. Patients usually go home within one hour after the procedure, and begin to experience the results within a couple days. There have been two trials for BVN ablation, which have made this intervention the most minimally invasive and evidence-based treatment for vertebrogenic pain. These studies indicated 25% of patients had a 50% reduction in pain, while 75% of patients had a 75% reduction of pain. Within that 75%, 30% reported being almost entirely pain free. To date, the study has followed participants to 8 years, and the results show the treatment is durable. --- RESOURCES Ep 210: Modern Vertebral Augmentation https://www.backtable.com/shows/vi/podcasts/210/modern-vertebral-augmentation Ep 94: Spine Interventions https://www.backtable.com/shows/vi/podcasts/94/innovation-in-spine-interventions Relievent device for BVN ablation: https://www.relievant.com/intracept/procedure-details/ Find this episode on backtable.com to view the full list of resources.

Episode 210 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features a fun, story time-style interview with long-time professional goalie and pro scout Rick Knickle.In the feature interview, presented by Sense Arena, Knickle shares stories and valuable insights from a pro career that included 17 teams in four leagues over 18 seasons, including finally making the NHL with Wayne Gretzky's Los Angeles Kings at age 32, three years after he originally decided to retire. Knickle shares incredible memories of everything from a Memorial Cup brawl before puck drop, to being chosen ahead of a then-unknown Patrick Roy in a trade from Sherbrooke that might have changed that Hall of Famers early path, to rooting through used equipment bins (happily) after making the WHL for the first time and deciding to try an old Glen Hanlon fibreglass mask that left him bleeding and with a nasty scar above the eye that's still there today. Knickle also gets into coaching young goalies with Steel Hockey in Vancouver, lessons from his 16 seasons as a pro scout in the NHL, and his new company, Team 33, a scouting service that tries to help NHL teams compare pro player values when making trades.All that, plus a trip to The Hockey Shop Source for Sports for some insights from Cam on how best to secure your knee pads so they won't slip or shift while you are playing.

That's the best way to find people.”“And with my expertise on the partnership, I would say that you get one to two entrusted people out of 10 calls. That's my stats: 10 to 20% will say yes, after you present your project.”“Do you have some money available to invest in a project? That's the first question. And if they say, ‘No,' I don't have to spend the next 10, 15, 20 minutes explaining the project. And I get the ‘No' idea.”“You should communicate with investors every month or every three months, at least.”“And one thing why they want to be on the management committee is they learn. They see us with a lot of expertise. When we have a problem, what do we do? What do we do? And they are involved in the decision also, that's by voting.”“The more investors are involved, the less they will come back to you and say you didn't do a good job.”“Every month, what we send investors all of the financial paperwork so they cannot say, 'You spent something that wasn't planned?'”“If a project is in a downturn, and there's only 1% of ROI for the investors, I won't go into the project.”“Passive investors have to make sure that they love the project.”Links Mentioned in Today's Episode: ghislain@immofacile.caImmofacile About Ghislain Larochelle Ghislain Larochelle is the founder of Immofacile, a real estate coaching and investment training company in Canada.

Professor Melanie Plourde, a full professor at the Université de Sherbrooke, Québec, Canada, found a disconnect in the important role of omega-3 for the brain. So she dived deep into this, filling in the gaps with her research program around two themes: (1) to understand how omega-3s are transferred from the blood to the brain, (2) to maximize omega-3s transport to the brain. In this episode, she joins Corinna Bellizzi to take us to the emerging research world of omega-3 as it relates to brain health. Professor Melanie investigates further by sharing how much of the foods we consume, and the nutrition we get from omega-3 can impact later expressions of health challenges. She then shares how we can supplement it to our diet and offers us a look into her recent research on how lipids traveling in the blood are transported to our brain. Key takeaways from this episode:- How omega-3s affect brain health- How nutrition impacts later expressions of health issues- The different genome types in relation to diseases- How people can augment their diet on a daily basis Guest Social Links:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/m%C3%A9lanie-plourde-949a1636/Research Article: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0955286322002492?fbclid=IwAR1tnRpHEWsbZEwtWatSZK0EK8Q2NatYO3mZSSuuHWN-cP2bDkcyAzG4W34#!

Can genes in single species act as keystones in ecosystems? What is AOP2, and how does it affect community composition and persistence? In this episode, we talk to Matt Barbour, a professor at the University of Sherbrooke, about “keystones” in biology. You're probably familiar with the keystone species concept, but Matt's research focuses on whether genes can play a similarly fundamental role in an ecosystem. In an incredible set of experiments, Matt and his colleagues used simple experimental food webs to find that the stability of these miniature complex systems was strongly associated to the genotype at one specific locus in the plant, Arabidopsis thaliana, called AOP2. The particular genetic variant led to complete breakdown of community stability, imbuing that gene with a keystone-like function. We talk to Matt about his recent publication in the journal Science and discuss how results from his simple lab setup relates to keystone effects in natural communities. Cover art: Keating Shahmehri

Sixteen ounces per day of the blackcurrant nectar were associated with reductions in the activity of creatine kinase, a blood marker of muscle damage, by 6.7%, compared to 82% increases in activity in the placebo group 48 hours after exercise, report the researchers in the Journal of Dietary Supplements . Researchers led by Alexander Hutchison, PhD, also report that levels of the inflammatory compound interleukin-6 decreased after exercise in participants in the blackcurrant group, compared with increases seen in the placebo group. “In partial support of our primary hypotheses, we found that consumption of black currant nectar for four days before and three days after a bout of eccentric leg exercise significantly reduced circulating markers of muscle damage while maintaining circulating antioxidant capacity,” they wrote in their paper. “Although pain scores in the blackcurrant nectar group returned to baseline a day earlier than the placebo group, there were no significant differences observed between groups at any time point after exercise. The study included 16 college students randomly assigned to consumer either the blackcurrant nectar beverage (CurrantC provided by CropPharms from Staatsburg, NY) or placebo twice a day for eight days. On day 4 the participants performed a bout of knee extension exercises, and blood samples taken 24, 48, and 96 hours after the exercise. Results showed that ORAC levels in the blood significantly decreased in the placebo group, while no significant decreases from the baseline values were observed in the blackcurrant group. In addition, significant differences between the groups were observed for IL-6 levels 24 hours after exercise, while significant differences were observed in creatine kinase activity between the groups after 48 and 96 hours.. How does what we eat affect our health span and longevity? It's a complex, dynamic system Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health, September 21, 2022 How does what we eat affect how we age? The answer to this relatively concise question is unavoidably complex, according to a new study at the Butler Columbia Aging Center at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health. The findings are published online in the journal BMC Biology. While most analyses had been concerned with the effects of a single nutrient on a single outcome, a conventional, unidimensional approach to understanding the effects of diet on health and aging no longer provides us with the full picture: A healthy diet must be considered based on the balance of ensembles of nutrients, rather than by optimizing a series of nutrients one at a time. Until now little was known about how normal variation in dietary patterns in humans affects the aging process. “”This study therefore provides further support to the importance of looking beyond ‘a single nutrient at a time' as the one size fits all response to the age-old question of how to live a long and healthy life.” Cohen also points that the results are also concordant with numerous studies highlighting the need for increased protein intake in older people, in particular, to offset sarcopenia and decreased physical performance associated with aging. The researchers analyzed data from 1,560 older men and women, aged 67-84 years selected randomly from the Montreal, Laval, or Sherbrooke areas in Quebec, Canada, who were re-examined annually for three years and followed over four years to assess on a large scale how nutrient intake associates with the aging process. Aging and age-related loss of homeostasis (physiological dysregulation) were quantified via the integration of blood biomarkers. The effects of diet used the geometric framework for nutrition, applied to macronutrients and 19 micronutrients/nutrient subclasses. Researchers fitted a series of eight models exploring different nutritional predictors and adjusted for income, education level, age, physical activity, number of comorbidities, sex, and current smoking status. Four broad patterns were observed: The optimal level of nutrient intake was dependent on the aging metric used. Elevated protein intake improved/depressed some aging parameters, whereas elevated carbohydrate levels improved/depressed others; There were cases where intermediate levels of nutrients performed well for many outcomes (i.e. arguing against a simple more/less is better perspective); There is broad tolerance for nutrient intake patterns that don't deviate too much from norms (“homeostatic plateaus”). Optimal levels of one nutrient often depend on levels of another (e.g. vitamin E and vitamin C). Simpler analytical approaches are insufficient to capture such associations. Mediterranean diet could play a key role in preventing cognitive decline Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard University, September 20, 2022 Individuals of minoritized ethnic or racial groups are often underrepresented in research, thus hindering the understanding of risk factors and the efficacy of treatments for diseases in these minoritized groups. A recent study published in the journal Alzheimer's & Dementia found that the levels of six plasma metabolites were associated with lower cognitive function across all racial/ethnic groups, and the levels of most of these blood metabolites were associated with adherence to a Mediterranean diet. Speaking to Medical News Today, the study's corresponding author Dr. Tamar Sofer, a professor at Brigham and Women's Hospital at Harvard University, said: “We identified a few metabolites (small molecules) in blood that their levels are correlated with cognitive function, and they are all related to diet. Characterizing metabolites associated with cognitive function can help researchers understand the mechanisms underlying the development of dementia. Moreover, blood metabolites can be easily measured and could serve as biomarkers for cognitive function. A previous study involving older Puerto Rican individuals showed that the levels of 13 blood metabolites were associated with global cognitive function, which is a composite measure of multiple cognitive abilities. Metabolite levels are influenced by the interplay between genetics, health status, and environmental factors, including diet, other lifestyle factors, and socioeconomic factors, which may differ among and even within ethnic/racial groups. The meta-analysis showed that six blood metabolites were associated with lower cognitive function across all ethnic/racial groups. Four out of the six metabolites associated with overall cognitive function were sugars, including glucose, ribitol, mannose, and mannitol/sorbitol. Out of the six metabolites, the analysis revealed a potential causal effect of only ribitol on cognitive function. The researchers also assessed the association between dietary habits, including adherence to a Mediterranean diet and intake of food groups (i.e. intake of legumes, fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, etc.), and blood metabolite levels. They found that adhering to a Mediterranean diet or its component food groups was correlated with several blood metabolites assessed in the study. Notably, the strongest association was observed between beta-cryptoxanthin and fruit intake participants. Beta-cryptoxanthin is a carotenoid with antioxidant properties found in fruits and vegetables, and beta-cryptoxanthin levels are associated with a lower risk of insulin resistance and liver dysfunction. “[T]his study is a step in the right direction in relation to examining the role of diet and the body's metabolism for brain health. It provides suggestive evidence that adherence to a good diet such as the Mediterranean style diet may be beneficial for brain health over a wide age range.” Indigo Rose Tomatoes Contain An Antioxidant That Fights Diabetes, Cancer and Neurodegenerative Diseases Oregon State University, September 15, 2022 Not only do dark tomatoes turn heads, but they are also healthier than normal red varieties, according to plant scientists. Indigo Rose Tomatoes were cultivated by breeding red and purple tomato plants, and are being heralded as a new superfood with potent antioxidants. Scientists bred purple tomatoes containing anthocyanin, an antioxidant said to help fight several diseases, with normal red varieties. ‘There are some dark coloured tomatoes but Indigo Rose is the only real black tomato and is the darkest that has ever been bred. “It's not genetically modified or GMO-based as many assume,” said Botanist Marjorie Varga. “People often get confused between GMO and hybridization which farmers have been using to cultivate new plant varieties for thousands of years.” “It is the first improved tomato variety in the world that has anthocyanins in its fruit,” he said. Myers' team found some tomatoes with purple pigmentation and tests revealed that anthocyanins were providing the colour, the same as blueberries. They crossed the purple tomatoes with some wild tomatoes and eventually came up with a black strain. Foot massage effective in improving sleep quality and anxiety in postmenopausal women Çankiri Karatekin University (Turkey), September 21, 2022 The therapeutic benefits of massage have long been recognized. A new study suggests that foot massage, in particular, can help minimize a number of common menopause symptoms, including sleep disruption, effectively extending sleep duration by an average of an hour per day. Study results are published online today in Menopause. During the menopause transition, estrogen deficiency can lead to a number of physical and mental health problems, including insomnia, hot flashes, vaginal dryness, headaches and anxiety. Although hot flashes and negative moods commonly seen in in the menopause transition often improve, conditions such as sleep complaints and vaginal dryness tend to persist or worsen over time. Previous studies have suggested that foot reflexology is an effective intervention in reducing stress and fatigue in premenopausal women. However, no previous studies were found that evaluated the effects of foot massage on anxiety, fatigue and sleep at the same time in postmenopausal women. In this new, small-scale study, researchers specifically sought to evaluate the effects of foot massage on anxiety, fatigue and sleep in postmenopausal women. Study results determined that foot massage applied during menopause increases the average daily sleep duration—as much as an hour per day—and reduces women's fatigue and anxiety levels. “Sleep disturbances, fatigue and anxiety symptoms are common during menopause. This small study in Turkish women shows how a simple, inexpensive intervention such as foot massage can improve these bothersome symptoms in postmenopausal women. Lack of sleep negatively impacts immune stem cells, increasing risk of inflammatory disorders and heart disease Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, September 21, 2022 Chronic insufficient sleep can negatively affect immune cells, which may lead to inflammatory disorders and cardiovascular disease, according to a new study from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. More specifically, consistently losing an hour and a half of sleep a night potentially increases the risk. The research, published in the Journal of Experimental Medicine, is the first to show that sleep alters the structure of DNA inside the immune stem cells that produce white blood cells—also known as immune cells—and this can have a long-lasting impact on inflammation and contribute to inflammatory diseases. Immune cells fight infection, but if the number of these cells gets too high, they overreact and cause inflammation. The study is also the first to show that catching up on sleep doesn't reverse the effects of sleep disruption. “This study begins to identify the biological mechanisms that link sleep and immunological health over the long-term. It shows that in humans and mice, disrupted sleep has a profound influence on the programming of immune cells and rate of their production, causing them to lose their protective effects and actually make infections worse—and these changes are long-lasting. This is important because it is yet another key observation that sleep reduces inflammation and, conversely, that sleep interruption increases inflammation,” says lead author Filip Swirski, Ph.D., Director of the Cardiovascular Research Institute at Icahn Mount Sinai. “This work emphasizes the importance of adults consistently sleeping seven to eight hours a day to help prevent inflammation and disease, especially for those with underlying medical conditions.” A team of investigators analyzed 14 healthy adults who regularly sleep eight hours a night. First, researchers monitored them sleeping at least eight hours a night for six weeks. They drew their blood and analyzed their immune cells. Then, the same group of adults reduced their sleep time by 90 minutes every night for six weeks, and had their blood and immune cells reanalyzed. At the end of the study researchers compared the blood and cell samples from the full night's sleep and restricted sleep periods. All participants had significant changes in their immune cells (also known as hematopoietic cells) due to a lack of sleep—there were more of them, and the DNA structure was altered. After six weeks of sleep restriction, they had an increased number of immune cells. Results in humans showed that fragmented sleep had significant changes to their immune stem cells, producing an increased number of immune cells, and also showed evidence of rewiring and reprogramming. A notable finding from the mouse group was that even after sleep recovery, the immune stem cells retained this rewiring structure, and they continued to produce additional white blood cells, making the mice susceptible to inflammation and disease. “Our findings suggest that sleep recovery is not able to fully reverse the effects of poor-quality sleep. We can detect a molecular imprint of insufficient sleep in immune stem cells, even after weeks of recovery sleep. This molecular imprint can cause the cells to respond in inappropriate ways leading to inflammation and disease,” says co-lead investigator Cameron McAlpine, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Medicine (Cardiology) at Icahn Mount Sinai.

"When he was about nineteen - which places the event in 1978 - Gerald was out driving with his older and a third person, Regis and another. Gerald was sitting in the back, Regis was in the passenger seat, and the third person was driving the car. It was in the evening, and they picked up a hitchhiker in Lennoxville. Gerald thought he and the girl were about the same age, so also nineteen. The girl got in the car and sat in the back with Gerald. Gerald began kissing her. From the passenger seat, Regis reached back and began stroking her thighs. I'm guessing it was a lot more than kissing and fondling, but you get the picture.Regis asks the driver to stop the car. He then dragged the girl with him. Some time passed, Gerald got out of the car to see what's going on. He says he was going to help the girl. Gerald went down in a field and found Regis holding the girl's head down in water. Gerald mimes the gesture of Regis holding her down in the water by the back of her neck. Regis yelled at Gerald to get back in the car, the girl didn't move anymore and appeared to be dead."For more information please visit the website: www.theresaallore.com

"Corporal Patrick Hall of the Sûreté du Québec's drug, alcohol and morality squad headed up the raid on Chez Robert's. Recall that it was Hall's phone number that was found in Grimard's pocket at the dump site on Astbury Road. In testimony at Coroner Jean-Pierre Rivard's inquiry from September 1978, Hall said he had known Raymond Grimard for five years and that during their frequent meetings, because of the numerous information the double murder victim had accumulated during his criminal career, he would occasionally give news of the goings-on in the underworld: “He said that he was doing well but that what he was doing was okay, that he had wanted to hang up the gloves.”"For more information please visit the website: www.theresaallore.com

Douglas is a mean-ass, uh, spy? and lord of something or other.  Alex is the plainer sister of The Most Beautiful Woman in England but she's got some knockout knockers.  They throw chairs at each other and get kidnapped.  It's our sixty-ninth episode, The Sherbrooke Bride by Catherine Coulter! By the way, there's some discussion in this about whether a fancy Regency lady would pee in the woods on a long carriage ride - despite Google trying to autocomplete "how did travelling Regency women" with "use the litter box" (???) I did a little "research" and it seems she'd probably have used a bourdaloue, which is like a teacup for your tinkle, and not gotten kidnapped in the first place at all.  Here's a picture of one: The more you know!  Her maid would have had to deal with it, and of course this is one of those books that forgets about maids all the time.  Whatever.  That's not the biggest historical issue with this book and I don't know why it bothered us so much, compared to the ghost who gives GPS directions and weather reports. There's some pretty upsetting content in this book, including but not limited to the truly grotesque (but not graphic) sexual assault of a side character, a graphic (but not grotesque) miscarriage that's actually dealt with in a serious way, some "light ravishing" on the part of the main character and a major secondary character - there's a lot of crying during sex in this one.  There's also a ghost!  Napoleon! Proxy marriages that are also stealth trick marriages!  Magical boobs!  It's a lot!  Happy Episode 69 to us!
