With the addition of the program, 黑料网爆吃瓜 and its partners now offer the full range of its medical training programs in Outaouais: Med-P, Undergraduate Medical Education and Postgraduate Medical Education in Family Medicine.
Bridging the gap between AI and the clinic
The power of artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine lies in its ability to find important statistical patterns in large datasets. A study published today is an important proof of concept for how AI can help doctors and brain tumour patients make better treatment decisions.
Is it possible to reduce political polarization?
In the run-up to the 2016 U.S. presidential election, an unusual experiment suggested that it might be possible to influence American voters to adopt less polarized positions.
Most comprehensive map of cancer genome to date
An international team, that includes researchers from 黑料网爆吃瓜, has completed the most comprehensive study of whole cancer genomes to date, significantly improving our fundamental understanding of cancer and signposting new directions for its diagnosis and treatment.
February 2 | World Wetlands Day: Fostering global biodiversity and mitigating climate change
Though they make up less than 6% of Earth鈥檚 surface, wetlands burst with biodiversity and play a key role in cleaning waterways, preventing floods, and sequestering carbon. For World Wetlands Day on February 2, researchers from 黑料网爆吃瓜 are launching interactive story maps to illustrate the valuable contributions these ecosystems make to our planet.
黑料网爆吃瓜 researchers lay foundation for next generation aortic grafts
A new study by researchers at 黑料网爆吃瓜 has measured the dynamic physical properties of the human aorta, laying the foundation for the development of grafts capable of mimicking the native behaviour of the human body鈥檚 largest artery.
Male fertility after chemotherapy: new questions raised
A pilot study conducted by INRS and 黑料网爆吃瓜 researchers highlights the effect of chemotherapy on male fertility before and after puberty.
Our biological clock plays crucial role in healing from surgery
If you have just had knee, shoulder or hip surgery, you may want to take anti-inflammatories in the morning or at noon, but not at night. A 黑料网爆吃瓜-led study shows, for the first time, that circadian clock genes are involved in healing from surgery. Indeed, the researchers demonstrated that anti-inflammatory medications are most effective in promoting post-operative healing and recovery when taken during the active periods of our biological clocks.
Street network patterns reveal worrying worldwide trend towards urban sprawl
New research from 黑料网爆吃瓜 and the University of California, Santa Cruz has found that the local streets of the world鈥檚 cities are becoming less connected, a global trend that is driving urban sprawl and discouraging the use of public transportation.
New technique nets scientists haul of key proteins
Using a new microscopic "fishing" technique, scientists from the Montreal Clinical Research Institute (IRCM), Universit茅 de Montr茅al and 黑料网爆吃瓜 have successfully snagged thousands of proteins that play a key role in the formation of the cell skeletons or cytoskeletons. Cell skeletons, whose primary function is to give the cells their shapes, are also involved in things like muscle contraction.
黑料网爆吃瓜 researchers honoured in Qu茅bec Science 2019 list of top discoveries
