[Peer support for recovery in early intervention for psychosis: Issues surrounding its implementation in Quebec and the French-speaking world].

Objectives To describe the different issues surrounding the integration of peer support workers (PSW) and family peer support workers (FPSW) into early intervention for psychosis services (EIS): their roles, the impacts of these interventions for patients, their families, and treatment teams, as well as the challenges and facilitators of this process. Method This article, co-authored with PSW and FPSW, presents a description and discussion of the experience of implementing peer support and family peer support in EIS in Québec, supported by a perspective of a review of the scientific and grey literature published in French or English in the last twenty years. Results Eight of the 36 scientific articles and two of the 14 grey literature publications selected were specific to early intervention for psychosis; the remainder were on mental health intervention.

[Comment les services d'intervention précoce pour la psychose peuvent-ils mieux servir les migrants, les minorités ethniques et les populations autochtones ?].

Objectives To synthesize the available epidemiological and clinical evidence relevant to the mental health care of migrant, ethnic minority and Indigenous populations in the context of early psychosis. Methods This study provides a narrative review of the literature on psychosis in these populations, including issues related to the provision of early intervention services for psychosis. Results Migrant status has long been reported as a significant risk factor for psychosis in many geographic contexts.

Dialogue between Staphylococcus aureus SA15 and Lactococcus garvieae strains experiencing oxidative stress.

Background: Staphylococcus aureus is an important foodborne pathogen. Lactococcus garvieae is a lactic acid bacterium found in dairy products; some of its strains are able to inhibit S. aureus growth by producing HO.

New Insights into the Anti-pathogenic Potential of against Based on RNA Sequencing Profiling.

The bio-preservation potential of lies in its capacity to inhibit the growth of , especially , in dairy products and . , inhibition is modulated by the level of aeration, owing to hydrogen peroxide (HO) production by under aeration. The response to this inhibition has already been studied.

Staphylococcus aureus transcriptomic response to inhibition by H2O2-producing Lactococcus garvieae.

Growth of the foodborne pathogen Staphylococcus aureus can be inhibited in milk and in cheese by the hydrogen peroxide-producing Lactococcus garvieae N201 dairy strain. Transcriptomic responses of two S. aureus strains, the S.

Functional movement screen test: a reliable screening test for young elite ice hockey players.

Objectives: To determine inter-rater and intra-rater reliability of the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) test among young elite hockey players.

Design: Reliability study.

Setting: Inter-rater reliability was evaluated by two raters in the field.

Cow teat skin, a potential source of diverse microbial populations for cheese production.

The diversity of the microbial community on cow teat skin was evaluated using a culture-dependent method based on the use of different dairy-specific media, followed by the identification of isolates by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. This was combined with a direct molecular approach by cloning and 16S rRNA gene sequencing. This study highlighted the large diversity of the bacterial community that may be found on teat skin, where 79.

Comparison of different strategies in prenatal screening for Down's syndrome: cost effectiveness analysis of computer simulation.

Objectives: To assess and compare the cost effectiveness of three different strategies for prenatal screening for Down's syndrome (integrated test, sequential screening, and contingent screenings) and to determine the most useful cut-off values for risk.

Design: Computer simulations to study integrated, sequential, and contingent screening strategies with various cut-offs leading to 19 potential screening algorithms.

Data Sources: The computer simulation was populated with data from the Serum Urine and Ultrasound Screening Study (SURUSS), real unit costs for healthcare interventions, and a population of 110 948 pregnancies from the province of Québec for the year 2001.

PhylArray: phylogenetic probe design algorithm for microarray.

Motivation: Microbial diversity is still largely unknown in most environments, such as soils. In order to get access to this microbial 'black-box', the development of powerful tools such as microarrays are necessary. However, the reliability of this approach relies on probe efficiency, in particular sensitivity, specificity and explorative power, in order to obtain an image of the microbial communities that is close to reality.
