Speaking more than one language is hypothesized to lead to greater brain resilience in aging and Alzheimer's disease, resulting in a delay in the symptom onset of Alzheimer's disease. While previous research has used structural neuroimaging measures to explore the neural underpinnings of this protective effect, few studies have used functional b ...

Background: Phenylalanine is an essential aromatic amino acid that can only be synthesized de novo by microorganisms and plants. In microorganisms, phenylalanine is synthesized through the prephenate pathway, requiring the activity of a prephenate dehydratase (PDT). In plants, phenylalanine is synthesized instead mostly through the arogenate pathway, re ...

Antioxidants added to tires to prevent degradation have recently been recognized as emerging environmental contaminants. While their acute aquatic toxicity has raised concern, these compounds are also emitted to the atmosphere and can be associated with particulate matter (PM). On PM they can r ...

Bilingual children learn their languages through rich interactions with caregivers within dynamic family contexts. However, little is known about how families align their two languages to support bilingual acquisition and how this varies across bilingual communities. This study examines language choice alignment across two communities: French-English fa ...

Few studies have characterized metabolically healthy (MHO) and unhealthy obesity (MUO) in pediatric populations over time. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of MHO in children and adolescents enrolled in a weight management program and examine changes in cardiometabolic indicators over 1 year.Methods: Participants from the CANa ...

eXtended Reality (XR) technologies often embed ableist design assumptions, privileging hand-based interaction and vision-centric interfaces that presume a normative able-bodied user. As a result, many disabled people-including those with limited mobility or blindness-are excluded from the outset, with accessibility added only as an afterthought. We crit ...

Three new isatin-pyridine-2-oxime hybrids (AM01-03) were synthesized and experimentally evaluated as reactivators of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibited by a surrogate of the nerve agent A-242, in comparison with their 4-oxime isomers previously reported by our research group. Furthermore, th ...
