GENDER DIVIDE EXISTS EVEN

COMMON ANTIBIOTIC, LOSING
EFFECTIVENESS, MAY BE

« Professor ANTONIO ZADRA and coauthor GENEVIEVE ROBERT, of the
University of Montreal, collected 9,796 dream
reports. Themes of interpersonal conflict were
twice as frequent in women's nightmares as
men's, while men were more likely to report
nightmares involving disaster or calamity, such as
floods or wars. »
« STEPHEN HANESSIAN, and co-workers at
the University of Montreal, Canada, and Sophia
University, Tokyo, Japan, replaced the 4’–OH
group in the A ring of neomycin with an axial
fluorine atom via a multistep synthesis to create a
powerful analogue which has been shown to evade
the deactivating AMEs in vitro tests. »

« La santé mentale au travail n'évolue pas en
vase clos; elle est au contraire fortement
influencée par le reste du quotidien. Le premier
auteur ALAIN MARCHAND, de l'École de
relations industrielles de l'Université de
Montréal, explique que tout est dans l'adoption
d'une vision holistique. »
A REVOLUTION IN THE
TREATMENT OF BLOOD
DISEASES
LA POPULATION VIEILLIT?
AUCUN PROBLÈME.
AU CONTRAIRE
Each year, hundreds of Canadians living with a
blood cancer or leukemia learn that their only
chance of living lies in a bone marrow
transplant. A discovery could revolutionize the
way now to treat blood disorders.
« Le professeur YVES CARRIÈRE du
département de démographie de l'Université de
Montréal pense que le vieillissement de la
population canadienne comporte son lot
d'avantages : garde des enfants par les grandsparents, bénévolat et autres activités non
rémunérées mais qui apportent beaucoup à
la société. »
Dr. GUY SAUVAGEAU and his team at
the Institute for Research in Immunology and
Cancer (IRIC) of the Université de Montreal
have managed to harvest stem cells from cord
blood. A breakthrough that has earned him the
2014 Scientist of the Year title by RadioCanada, and Personality of the Year by La
Presse in the Science category.

« We observed more than 90 stars and have found

PhD student in the department of Physics at the
University of Montreal. »
« Les auteurs de l'étude, parmi lesquels des
chercheurs de l'Institut national de la santé et de
la recherche médicale (Inserm) et de
l'Université de Montréal, soulignent que
leurs résultats “renforcent la suspicion d'un lien
direct possible” entre prise de benzodiazépines et
la maladie d'Alzheimer. »
