Notre recherche visait à mettre en lumière les pratiques bientraitantes des préposées aux bénéficiaires en milieux d'hébergement pour aînés au Québec. L'objet de l'article est de faire ressortir la dichotomie entre les définitions de la bientraitance et son opérationnalisation.

To identify interventions that best meet their needs, this study interviewed 12 RIAs, including their families, about their experience in CHSLDs. The results show that RIAs face three challenges: food, clothing and play.

- Recent advancements like The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) have created extensive genomic datasets for cancer patients, but current analysis methods primarily focus on genes rather than biological pathways.
- The article introduces Bayes-InGRiD, a new Bayesian model that integrates multiple data types to identify cancer subgroups and key molecular features while considering pathway information.
- This unified approach not only improves accuracy in identifying significant cancer characteristics but also enhances biological interpretation, with a computational tool available for researchers.
The concept of 'bientraitance'(good treatment) of older adults was introduced in Quebec policy a few years prior to the pandemic, and its significance from the perspectives of those directly involved in care remains underexplored. Centring these perspectives, this article presents findings from a study of the meanings, practices and conditions of good treatment. Data was collected at three different residential care settings through world cafés with residents, staff, management, volunteers and family members ( = 61) and through interviews with care aides ( = 13).

Peripheral nerve blocks using liposomal bupivacaine are a potential alternative, though they have not been extensively studied in major cancer operations with an epigastric incision.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of prospectively collected data following the transition from thoracic epidural to liposomal peripheral nerve blocks in patients undergoing major oncologic surgery.
