Objectives In Canada, it is estimated that 5 to 31% of police interventions involve people with mental health disorders. The objective of this review of the scientific literature is to raise a myriad of issues in the approach to these patients in the community. We then illustrate this context with a Montreal initiative: The ÉCHINOPS Project (Hybrid Community Team for Innovative Interventions NPO-Psychiatry-SPVM).

Background: When sufficient maternal milk is not available, donor human milk or formula are the alternative forms of enteral nutrition for very preterm or very low-birthweight (VLBW) infants. Donor human milk may retain the non-nutritive benefits of maternal milk and has been proposed as a strategy to reduce the risk of necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) and associated mortality and morbidity in very preterm or VLBW infants.
Objectives: To assess the effectiveness of donor human milk compared with formula for preventing NEC and associated morbidity and mortality in very preterm or VLBW infants when sufficient maternal milk is not available.
Objectives: To compare the image quality of deep learning accelerated whole-body (WB) with conventional diffusion sequences.
Methods: Fifty consecutive patients with bone marrow cancer underwent WB-MRI. Two experts compared axial b900 s/mm and the corresponding maximum intensity projections (MIP) of deep resolve boost (DRB) accelerated diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) sequences (time of acquisition: 6:42 min) against conventional sequences (time of acquisition: 14 min).
Topic Importance: Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is a common disease encountered by pulmonologists, cardiologists, and critical care physicians throughout the world. For patients with high-risk acute PE (defined by systemic hypotension) and intermediate high-risk acute PE (defined by the absence of systemic hypotension, but the presence of numerous other concerning clinical and imaging features), intensive care often is necessary. Initial management strategies should focus on optimization of right ventricle (RV) function while decisions about advanced interventions are being considered.

We tested the accuracy of CPET for detecting inadequate stroke volume (SV) augmentation during exercise, a pivotal manifestation of cardiac limitation in patients with pulmonary vascular disease.
Methods: We reviewed patients with suspected pulmonary vascular disease in whom CPET and right heart catheterization (RHC) measurements were taken at rest and at anaerobic threshold (AT).
