Intellectual Differences Between Boys and Girls, 35 Years of Evolution in France from WISC-R to WISC-V.

The French adaptation of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale of Children, 5th edition (WISC-V) was an opportunity to examine if some common representations of gender differences in intellectual abilities are supported by empirical evidence. The WISC-V standardization sample provided data on a wide range of cognitive tests in a large sample of 6- to 16-year-old children representative of the French population. This sample included 517 boys and 532 girls.

Prevention and Management of Cardiovascular Disease in Primary Care: A Comment on the PEER Simplified Lipid Guideline.

Background: In Canada, 2 guidelines provide guidance for the management of dyslipidemia. The Patients, Experience, Evidence, Research simplified lipid guidelines, intended for primary care practitioners, and the Canadian Cardiovascular Society guidelines, intended for all practitioners, are based on differing methodologies with distinct priorities and preferences. The disparate approaches may contribute to confusion among family practitioners and their co-managed patients, with the potential for compromised care, differing standards for training in the fundamentals of lipidology, and differing criteria that might be used in practice audits to evaluate quality of care.

Automated monitoring of electrocatalyst corrosion as a function of electrochemical history and electrolyte formulation.

Automated platforms assessing the stability of electrocatalysts are key to accelerate the deployment of clean energy technologies. Here, we present a robust system that allows the study of corrosion behavior in conjunction with the electrochemical protocol and electrolyte composition over many individual electrodes. Oxygen reduction reaction on Pt is used as a proof-of-concept platform, where the influence of the potential window and phosphoric acid (PA) addition on Pt dissolution is probed.
