Technologies, professions de santé et réformes publiques : les projets professionnels des techniciens ambulanciers paramédics et des inhalothérapeutes au Québec, 1990-2022.

A blind spot in the history of the healthcare professions is the evolution of "technical" professions, particularly after 1970. However, these professions underwent major changes at the end of the 20th century. We propose two case studies, on Quebec's paramedics and respiratory therapists' professional projects.

Distance-based indicators for evaluating environmental multi-contamination and related exposure: how far should we go?

Assessing environmental exposure to pollution is a challenging task, and scientists often use distance-based or proximity indicators when field or modeled data are unavailable. Although buffers are commonly used to represent the impact of a pollution source on neighboring populations, they can result in high-exposure misclassification. Euclidean distance-based indicators offer a promising alternative, but practices vary significantly in the literature.

Association between air pollution levels and drug sales for asthma and allergy in 63 million people in metropolitan France.

Introduction: Air pollution is known to have an impact on respiratory health. However, the assessment of this relationship is far from complete and is rarely extended to the country level. We used drug sales data, both Over-The-Counter (OTC) and prescription drugs, to assess exhaustively the impact of air pollution on asthma and allergy at the national level in France.
