    Abstract Background The strengths-based approach (SBA) was initially developed for people living with mental health issues but may represent a promising support option for community participation of people living with a traumatic brain injury (TBI). A community-based organisation working with people living with TBI is in the process of adapting this approach to implement it in their organisation. No studies explored an SBA implementation with this population. This study explores the implementation of key components of the SBA in a community-based organisation dedicated to people living with TBI. Methods A qualitative descriptive design using semi-structured interviews (n  = 10) with community workers, before and during implementation, was used. Transcripts were analysed inductively and deductively. Deductive coding was informed by the SBA fidelity scale. Results Group supervision and mobilisation of personal strengths are key SBA components that were reported as being integrated within practice. These changes led to improved team communication and cohesiveness in and across services, more structured interventions, and greater engagement of clients. No changes were reported regarding the mobilisation of environmental strengths and the provision of individual supervision. Conclusion The implementation of the SBA had positive impacts on the community-based organisation. This suggests that it is valuable to implement an adaptation of the SBA for people living with TBI.

    Abstract Background: Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis is a rare disorder, especially in pregnancy, characterized by excessive immune activation leading to hemophagocytic activity.
    Case report: A 34-year-old woman presented at 31 weeks' gestation with fever, cytopenias, hyperferritinemia and fulminant hepatitis. Bone marrow biopsy was non-contributory, and no trigger was identified. Liver biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, and she received dexamethasone and etoposide, which was changed to anakinra to allow breastfeeding. Prompt diagnosis and treatment of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis is crucial to the survival of pregnant women, but no consensus exists regarding the most appropriate therapy during pregnancy.
    Conclusion: Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis is life-threatening and associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Important treatment considerations in pregnancy include maternal health, fetal prematurity and treatment toxicity. Anakinra has been successfully used in pregnancy and provides a promising alternative.

    Abstract Some highly challenging, seemingly "unsolvable" situations that arise in medical education could be the result of autistic traits (AT) in learners. AT exist in physicians and learners, ranging from profiles compatible with DSM-5's criteria for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to more subtle manifestations of ASD's "broader phenotype." Often associated with strengths and talents, AT may nonetheless pose significant challenges for learning, teaching, and practising medicine. Since AT remain widely under-recognized and misunderstood by educators, clinicians, and affected individuals alike, they represent a blind spot in medical education. The use of a "neurodiversity lens" to examine challenging situations may help educators consider different pedagogical approaches to address those potentially stemming from AT.This paper aims to raise awareness and understanding of AT-related difficulties in struggling medical learners. To overcome the blind spot challenge and help develop this "neurodiversity lens," we explore different angles. Beyond any diagnostic consideration, we offer a series of contextual examples, paralleled with explanatory concepts from the field of ASD. We also underline the role of context on functional impact and describe the often ill-defined pattern of challenges encountered, as well as the fertile grounds for interpersonal misunderstandings and disrespect. We propose historical, cultural, and clinical reasons likely contributing to the blind spot. Mindful of the potential risks of prejudice associated with identifying AT-related difficulties, we underline the necessity and feasibility of conciliating diversity and dignity with accountability standards for medical competence.

    Abstract Objective: The objective of this review is to assess and synthesize the available qualitative evidence on the experiences of social participation of older adults with an early-onset physical disability.
    Introduction: Understanding the experiences of social participation among older adults with a physical disability acquired earlier in life can guide the development of interventions and policies. It will also help with fostering meaningful community participation and aid in improving the quality of their social participation.
    Inclusion criteria: This review will consider primary studies that explore the experiences of social participation of older adults with an early-onset physical disability. The review will focus on qualitative data, including methods such as phenomenology, grounded theory, ethnography, action research, and feminist research. Studies in French or English will be considered for inclusion, and there will be no limitation on publication dates.
    Methods: A keyword search strategy will be carried out in MEDLINE (Ovid), PsycINFO (Ovid), CINAHL (EBSCOhost), Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library. ProQuest Dissertations and Theses (ProQuest) will be searched for unpublished articles. Two independent reviewers will perform the screening and inclusion process, assess the quality of the evidence, and complete data extraction. The JBI approach to critical appraisal, study selection, data extraction, and data synthesis (meta-aggregation) will be used. The ConQual approach will be used to establish confidence in the synthesized findings.

    Title translation Vulnérabilités psychosociales des populations rurales du Québec en temps de pandémie.
    Abstract Introduction: Psychosocial impacts of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, including those on mental health, are now recognized. However, the experience of the COVID-19 pandemic differs from one individual, group or context to another and solutions to cope with it must be adapted and contextualized.
    Aim of the study: This study aims to identify factors of psychosocial vulnerability in rural populations in Quebec (Canada).
    Method: The approach is adapted from previous work on the prevention and reduction of the psychosocial impacts of climate change in non-metropolitan areas. A descriptive qualitative design based on several data sources was used. The data come from a press review, a review of the scientific literature, semi-structured interviews with key actors in the community and municipal domains.
    Results: Data triangulation and validation by community organization teams (public health department) identified forty-one (N = 41) factors (e.g., social cohesion, digital literacy) likely to increase or decrease the psychosocial vulnerability of rural populations in the context of a pandemic. These factors are grouped under six categories of determinants: 1) population's knowledge and attitudes towards the pandemic, 2) previous experience of difficult events, 3) community dynamism, social cohesion and solidarity, 4) citizens, municipalities and government authorities' involvement, 5) health and social services and those from their intersectoral partners, and 6) land use planning.
    Conclusion: These results are useful for local and regional public health teams in developing local portraits of psychosocial vulnerabilities to support plans to strengthen community resilience and reduce social and health inequalities accentuated by the pandemic.

    Abstract Aim: Parents of children born preterm have identified outcomes to be measured for audit and research at 18-24 months of age: child well-being, quality of life/function, socio-emotional/behavioural outcomes, respiratory, feeding, sleeping, and caregiver mental health. The aim was to identify the best tools to measure these seven domains.
    Methods: Seven working groups completed literature reviews and evaluated potential tools to measure these outcomes in children aged 18-24 months. A group of experts and parents voted on the preferred tools in a workshop and by questionnaire. Consensus was 80% agreement.
    Results: Consensus was obtained for seven brief, inexpensive, parent friendly valid measures available in English or French for use in a minimum dataset and potential alternative measures for use in funded research.
    Conclusion: Valid questionnaires and tools to measure parent-identified outcomes in young preterm children exist. This study will facilitate research and collection of data important to families.

    Abstract The appropriate age at which to perform endometrial biopsy for abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is controversial. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of malignant and premalignant pathologies in women aged 41-49 years with AUB and without risk factors for endometrial cancer. Records of women who had undergone a biopsy at the gynaecology clinic of the Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal between 2014 and 2018 were reviewed. Of the 209 women included in the study, 2 had atypical hyperplasia, which resolved without treatment, and 3 had hyperplasia without atypia. The remaining women had benign results, showing that the prevalence of malignant and premalignant endometrial pathologies is low in this subgroup of patients.

    Abstract Background and objectives: Research on outcomes of prematurity frequently examines neurodevelopment in the toddler years as an end point, but the age range at examination varies. We aimed to evaluate whether the corrected age (CA) at Bayley-III assessment is associated with rates of developmental delay in extremely preterm children.
    Methods: This retrospective cohort study included children born at <29 weeks' gestation who were admitted in the Canadian Neonatal Network between 2009 and 2017. The primary outcomes were significant developmental delay (Bayley-III score <70 in any domain) and developmental delay (Bayley-III score <85 in any domain). To assess the association between CA at Bayley-III assessment and developmental delay, we compared outcomes between 2 groups of children: those assessed at 18 to 20 months' CA and 21-24 months.
    Results: Overall, 3944 infants were assessed at 18-20 months' CA and 881 at 21-24 months. Compared with infants assessed at 18-20 months, those assessed at 21-24 months had higher odds of significant development delay (20.0% vs 12.5%; adjusted odds ratio, 1.75; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.41-2.13) and development delays (48.9% vs 41.7%, adjusted odds ratio 1.33; 95% CI, 1.11-1.52). Bayley-III composite scores were on average 3 to 4 points lower in infants evaluated at 21-24 months' CA (for instance, adjusted mean difference and 95% CI for language: 3.49 [2.33-4.66]). Conversely, rates of cerebral palsy were comparable (4.6% vs 4.7%) between the groups.
    Conclusions: Bayley-III assessments performed at 21-24 months' CA were more likely to diagnose a significant developmental delay compared with 18- to 20-month assessments in extremely preterm children.
