Efficient DNA repair and limitation of genome rearrangements rely on crosstalk between different DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair pathways, and their synchronization with the cell cycle. The selection, timing and efficacy of DSB repair pathways are influenced by post-translational modifications of histones and DNA damage repair (DDR) proteins, such as phosphorylation. While the importance of kinases and serine/threonine phosphatases in DDR have been extensively studied, the role of tyrosine phosphatases in DNA repair remains poorly understood.

Acute bleeding from the esophageal varices is a life-threatening situation. In therapy, a distinction is made between primary prophylaxis of bleeding, control of acute bleeding and prevention of recurrent bleeding.

Based on Vallerand's methodological approach, we conducted forward and parallel inverse-translations. Subsequently, an expert panel evaluated the translations to create a preliminary experimental French-Canadian version.

To standardize the test, it is important to know which factors influence the outcome. This study investigated the impact of two factors, a concurrent cognitive task and step height, on the Fukuda stepping test in healthy individuals.
