    Abstract This article discussed the issue of low PA levels among school-aged children and highlights the promising approach of school-based interventions, including physically active learning (PAL), to increase PA levels. The study aimed to co-design and to assess the implementation of a PAL program for 8 weeks in 4 elementary classrooms (82 students and 7 teachers), emphasizing the potential of integrating PA with academic learning and the importance of co-designing programs with teachers to maximize their effectiveness. Technology was found to support PAL practices in promoting PA and academic achievement. The study underscores the need for further research to explore the societal implications of PAL programs, including their potential to improve the health and well-being of children while promoting positive academic outcomes.

    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 Annual bluegrass, Poa annua L., is an important component of the vegetation on golf course greens and fairways throughout Canada and is widely distributed across the world (2). The barley root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne naasi Franklin, infects and damages cereals such as barley (Hordeum vulgare), sorghum (Sorghum vulgare), and wheat (Triticum durum and T. vulgare), mainly in Europe. Of the root-knot species, M. naasi in particular, prefers grasses over other hosts, and infestations of this nematode can reduce the growth and vigor of turfgrasses (1). In July 2005, annual bluegrass at Beaconsfield Golf Club in Pointe Claire (45°26'N, 73°50'W), Quebec showed signs of an unidentified disease. Irregular yellowish/chlorotic patches were observed on the collar of one golf green. Lower turfgrass density in the turf areas with symptoms was noted. When roots were examined under a dissecting microscope, galling was observed. Upon dissection of washed galls, root-knot nematode egg masses and mature females inside the roots were observed. Nematode extractions of the soil from two samples of 50 g from the green and around the collar and perimeter were also done by the modified Baermann pan method. No juveniles were recovered from soil samples from the healthy area and an average of 400 and 1,500 juveniles/kg dry soil were counted in collar and perimeter samples of the patches. Morphological identification of mature females and juveniles were performed and confirmed to be M. naasi. Currently, there are no regulations to control the introduction of this nematode into Canada. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the occurrence of M. naasi in Canada where it is causing noticeable damage to turfgrass in Quebec. A soil survey is currently underway to examine the distribution of this nematode on golf course turfgrasses in Ontario and Quebec. References: (1) R. Cook and G. W. Yeates.

    Title translation The advantages of 3D imagery in diagnosing and supervising children's and teenagers' scoliosis.
    Abstract Scoliosis is an abnormal curvature of the spine. One or several curves of more than 10 degrees in the frontal plane can be seen with the rotation of vertebrae in the axial plane, which modifies sagittal curves. In addition to esthetic harm, the morbidity of a scoliosis depends on the extent of the deformation. Treatment, whether it be orthopedic or surgical, is aggressive and never completely cures the condition. At best the deformation will be stabilized at the end of growth. Therefore, it is essential to detect any slight curve and quickly identify any potential progressive form in order to treat it. Visualization of scoliosis in 3D through spine modeling has several advantages at each stage of care. First, with slight curvatures, 3D modeling allows the medical staff to confirm the scoliosis by showing the modification in the three different planes. All curvatures will not progress. Orthopedic treatment is constraining and expensive; only progressive forms will receive it. When the curvature is slight and does not need immediate treatment, 3D modeling at each successive check-up will help detect any sign of likely progression quickly and reliably. Moreover, the medical observation of corset treatment and the preoperative work-up are improved because all 3D parameters of the deformation are accessible. The need for 3D modeling for scoliosis has been known for a long time, but no tool allowing a vertical study with a low level of radiation was available. The EOS imagery system meets these criteria through an optimal analysis of deformations caused by scoliosis.

    Abstract Creeping bentgrass, Agrostis stolonifera L., is the most important turfgrass species cultivated on golf greens in Canada. The needle nematode, Longidorus breviannulatus Norton & Hoffman, has several plant hosts including Gramineae such as corn, Zea mays L. (3), and creeping bentgrass (1). This large, plant-parasitic nematode is found most frequently in sandy soils and is encouraged by irrigation (2). In 2006, irregular, yellowish/chlorotic, and dead turfgrass patches were observed for the first time on several sand-based creeping bentgrass cv. Penncross greens on a golf course in Bromont, Québec (45°19'N, 72°39'W). Furthermore, a noticeable decline of the turfgrass root system was observed. Creeping bentgrass was grown with the following management practices: mowing height 3.18 mm, fertilization 2.27 kg N/0.45 kg P
