This article presents the experience of a rehabilitation program that un- dertook the challenge to reorganize its services to address accessibility issues and im- prove service quality. The context in which the reorganization process occurred, along with the relevant literature justifying the need for a new service delivery model, and an historical perspective on the planning; implementation; and evaluation phases of the process are described. In the planning phase, the constitution of the working committee, the data collected, and the information found in the literature are presented. Apollo, the new service delivery model, is then described along with each of its components (e.g., community, group, and individual interventions). Actions and lessons learnt during the implementation of each component are presented. We hope by sharing our experiences that we can help others make informed decisions about service reorganization to im- prove the quality of services provided to children with disabilities, their families, and their communities.

There is a general consensus that new service delivery models are needed for children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD). Emerging principles to guide service delivery include the use of graduated levels of intensity and evidence-based services that focus on function and participation. Interdisciplinary, community-based service delivery models based on best practice principles are needed. In this case report, we propose the Apollo model as an example of an innovative service delivery model for children with DCD. We describe the context that led to the creation of a program for children with DCD, describe the service delivery model and services, and share lessons learned through implementation. The Apollo model has 5 components: first contact, service delivery coordination, community-, group- and individual-interventions. This model guided the development of a streamlined set of services offered to children with DCD, including early-intake to share educational information with families, community interventions, inter-disciplinary and occupational therapy groups and individual interventions. Following implementation of the Apollo model, waiting times decreased and numbers of children receiving services increased, without compromising service quality. Lessons learned are shared to facilitate development of other practice models to support children with DCD.

Aims : This study evaluates the impact of a Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) evidence-based online module including synthesized resources, practical strategies, and interactive component on self-reported physical therapist (PT) knowledge, skills, and practice. Methods : PTs from across Canada completed questionnaires before, immediately after, and 2 months following completion of the module. Questionnaires used 7-point Likert scale items and short open-ended questions; analyzes used paired t-tests and a thematic approach. Results : Fifty PTs completed both pre- and post-questionnaires; 41 of these completed the follow-up questionnaire. Most items (79%) evaluating self-reported knowledge and skills increased significantly following module completion and this increase was maintained two months later. Most participants (92%) reported an increase in their confidence to provide DCD evidence-based services. Participants plan to modify their evaluative practices (e.g., involving children in goal setting) and their management of DCD (e.g., using best practice principles, providing resources to families and physicians). At the 2- month follow-up, 46% of participants had returned to the module to review information (e.g., video, resources) or to download handouts. Conclusion : An online module developed collaboratively with PTs has the potential not only to increase PTs’ knowledge, but also to support them in implementing evidence-based services for children with DCD.

Aims: Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is a chronic condition with potential negative health consequences. Clinicians working with children with DCD need access to tailored, synthesized, evidence-based DCD information; however a knowledge-to-practice gap exists. The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate an evidence-based online DCD module tailored to physical therapists’ (PTs) identified needs. Methods: Guided by the Knowledge to Action framework, we interviewed PTs working with children with DCD (n=9) to identify their information needs. Their recommendations, along with synthesized DCD research evidence, informed module development. PTs (n=50) responded to scaled items and open-ended questions to evaluate module usefulness. Results: The module incorporated important PT DCD content areas including: 1) Identification; 2) Planning Interventions and Goals; 3) Evidence-Based Practice; 4) Management; and, 5) Resources. Case scenarios, clinical applications, interactive media, links to resources, and interactive learning opportunities were also embedded. PTs perceived the module to be comprehensive and useful and provided feedback to improve module navigation. Conclusions: Involving end-users throughout the development and evaluation of an online PT DCD module contributed to its relevance, applicability, and utility. The ongoing clinical use of this module may have the potential to improve the quality of PT DCD services.

Dès le départ, l'élaboration d'une formation en ligne pour le cours Projet interdisciplinaire et Probabilités et statistique offert au Collège Gérald-Godin est apparue comme une solution intéressante aux préoccupations des enseignantes et enseignants et aux différents problèmes rencontrés. Les enseignantes et enseignants du regroupement de mathématiques trouvaient important de développer l'autonomie chez les étudiantes et les étudiants afin de bien les former pour l'université. La partie mathématique du cours présentait aussi certaines difficultés au niveau de la détermination de moments de rencontres permettant la réalisation du projet de sondage réalisé en équipe, ainsi qu'au niveau de la reprise de la partie mathématique échouée du cours qui entraînait un retard dans l'obtention du diplôme d'études collégiales. La récension des écrits a permis de définir le projet de formation en ligne développée dans cet essai. Cette formation en ligne a été réalisée de façon modeste par l'auteure de cet essai. Même les étudiantes et les étudiants ont suivi la formation en ligne, il y a aussi eu des rencontres en présence avec l'enseignante. Cette formation en ligne a utilisée un mélange de trois modèles : la classe technologique ouverte, l'autoformation Web hypermédia et l'enseignement en ligne. Elle a respecté la structure d'apprentissage suivant la séquence Unités d'apprentissage/Objets d'apprentissage/Ressources pédagogiques et a été présentée sur la plate-forme Moodle du Collège Gérald-Godin. En plus de présenter les différentes notions dans différents contextes, cette formation a favorisé une approche constructiviste dans laquelle nous retrouvons un projet de sondage. En nous basant sur la recension des écrits, la méthodologie de cet essai présente de quelle façon nous avons procédé à l'élaboration de la formation en ligne. Elle indique comment nous avons structuré la formation; les activités d'apprentissage privilégiées lors de l'élaboration de la formation en ligne; les ressources pédagogiques à rendre disponibles ainsi que la forme de ces ressources pédagogiques afin d'assurer la qualité des ressources rendues disponibles. De plus, elle présente de quelle façon nous avons utilisé l'ensemble des ressources disponibles sur la plate-forme afin d'assurer le meilleur encadrement possible.

Contexte: L’inactivation des androgènes est majoritairement régulée par des enzymes du métabolisme de la famille des UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT). Ce procédé métabolique permet de contrôler la biodisponibilité des hormones stéroïdiennes systémiques et locales. Objectif : L’objectif était d’étudier la relation entre l’expression de l’enzyme UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 2B polypeptide 28 (UGT2B28), impliquée dans la biotransformation des hormones, avec les niveaux hormonaux circulants, et les caractéristiques clinico-pathologiques dans le cancer de la prostate (CaP). Conception et participants : Nous avons utilisé dans cette étude la technique d’immunohostochimie à grande échelle (tissue microarray) sur les tissus de 239 patients ayant un CaP localisé. L’étude des 51 patients additionnels ne possédant pas l’enzyme UGT2B28 dans leur génome, a été effectuée pour confirmer l’importance de cette enzyme sur les niveaux hormonaux circulants. Résultats : La surexpression de l’enzyme UGT2B28 a été associée à des niveaux d’antigène prostatique spécifique (APS) au diagnostic plus faibles, à un score de Gleason plus élevé, à des marges et statuts nodaux positifs, et fut associée de façon indépendante au risque de progression. La surexpression de l’enzyme fut également associée à des niveaux circulants de testostérone (T) et dihydrotestostérone (DHT) plus élevés. Les patients n’exprimant pas le gène UGT2B28 avaient des niveaux plus bas de T (19%), de DHT (17%), de métabolites glucuronidés (18-38%), et des niveaux plus élevés du précurseur surrénalien androsténédione (36%). Conclusion : L’enzyme UGT2B28 modifie les niveaux circulants de T et DHT, et sa surexpression est associée avec un CaP à plus haut grade. Notre étude a permis de découvrir un nouveau rôle d’UGT2B28, celui de régulateur de la stéroïdogenèse, et a souligné l’interconnexion entre les capacités de biotransformation hormonale des cellules cancéreuses, des niveaux hormonaux, des caractéristiques clinicopathologiques et du risque de progression.

Monocarboxylates have been implicated in the control of energy homeostasis. Among them, the putative role of ketone bodies produced notably during high-fat diet (HFD) has not been thoroughly explored. In this study, we aimed to determine the impact of a specific rise in cerebral ketone bodies on food intake and energy homeostasis regulation. A carotid infusion of ketone bodies was performed on mice to stimulate sensitive brain areas for 6 or 12 h. At each time point, food intake and different markers of energy homeostasis were analyzed to reveal the consequences of cerebral increase in ketone body level detection. First, an increase in food intake appeared over a 12-h period of brain ketone body perfusion. This stimulated food intake was associated with an increased expression of the hypothalamic neuropeptides NPY and AgRP as well as phosphorylated AMPK and is due to ketone bodies sensed by the brain, as blood ketone body levels did not change at that time. In parallel, gluconeogenesis and insulin sensitivity were transiently altered. Indeed, a dysregulation of glucose production and insulin secretion was observed after 6 h of ketone body perfusion, which reversed to normal at 12 h of perfusion. Altogether, these results suggest that an increase in brain ketone body concentration leads to hyperphagia and a transient perturbation of peripheral metabolic homeostasis.

The Loyal Orange Association of British America is a Protestant fraternal society. The Loyal Orange Association originated in Ulster, Ireland during the late eighteenth century. Its purpose was to promote Protestant rights and privileges. The association was exclusively Protestant, fraternal, democratic, and benevolent. Orange principles were brought to Upper Canada by Protestant Irish settlers after 1815. The first Canadian Orange Lodge was formally established in Brockville, Leeds County, 1830. By the late 19th and early 20th century, the Loyal Orange Association of British North America had gained considerable popularity and political influence. Many prominent politicians, including several prime ministers, were members. Orangemen were particularly concerned with issues such as separate school funding, language rights, immigration, religious freedom and conscription. Further, they demanded the execution of Louis Riel and opposed the Jesuits Estates settlement. Administrative sketch courtesy Archives of Ontario.
