    Abstract : Because of its geographical location, Montreal experiences long winters with extremely variable weather conditions. Old people, who represent an increasingly large social group in the city, are among the most vulnerable to the difficult climate. In order to better understand what the winter means to these people and to gain insights into its potential impact on individual lives, research was undertaken into the different representations of winter. The study reveals the diversity of the representations of winter among old people, and compares these representations with those of the younger population. It is only through greater understanding of the representations, attitudes and behaviour of old people that effective measures can be introduced to improve management of the winter for this section of the population.Les personnes âgées et l'hiver à Montréal (Québec, Canada) Old people and the winter in Montreal (Quebec, Canada) Pierre André, Isabelle Trudeau, Claude Marois et Hervé Gumuchian Résumé : A cause de sa position géographique, la ville de Montréal connaît des hivers longs et des conditions météorologiques extrêmement variables. Les personnes âgées, groupe social en pleine croissance, figurent parmi les groupes les plus vulnérables à ces conditions climatiques difficiles. C'est afin de mieux comprendre ce que l'hiver représente pour les gens et son impact potentiel sur la vie des individus que cette recherche sur les représentations de l'hiver a été entreprise. Celle-ci met en évidence la diversité des représentations de l'hiver chez les personnes âgées et les compare avec celles des plus jeunes. Ce n'est que par une meilleure connaissance d'abord des représentations, puis des attitudes et des comportements, des personnes âgées que des mesures efficaces de gestion de l'hiver pourront être mises en place.André Pierre, Trudeau Isabelle, Marois Claude, Gumuchian Hervé.

    A Simple Classification of Pancreatic Duct Size and Texture Predicts Postoperative Pancreatic Fistula: A classification of the International Study Group of Pancreatic Surgery

    Objective: The aim of this study was to develop a classification system for pancreas-associated risk factors in pancreatoduodenectomy (PD). Summary Background Data: Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is the most relevant PD-associated complication. A simple standardized surgical reporting system based on pancreas-associated risk factors is lacking. Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted to identify studies investigating clinically relevant (CR) POPF (CR-POPF) and pancreas-associated risk factors after PD. A meta-analysis of CR-POPF rate for texture of the pancreas (soft vs not-soft) and main pancreatic duct (MPD) diameter was performed using the Mantel-Haenszel method. Based on the results, the International Study Group of Pancreatic Surgery (ISGPS) proposes the following classification: A, not-soft (hard) texture and MPD >3 mm; B, not-soft (hard) texture and MPD ≤3 mm; C, soft texture and MPD >3 mm; D, soft texture and MPD ≤3 mm. The classification was evaluated in a multi-institutional, international cohort. Results: Of the 2917 articles identified, 108 studies were included in the analyses. Soft pancreatic texture was significantly associated with the development of CR-POPF [odds ratio (OR) 4.24, 95% confidence interval (CI) 3.67-4.89, P 3 mm diameter MPDs (OR 3.66, 95% CI 2.62-5.12, P < 0.01). The proposed 4-stage system was confirmed in an independent cohort of 5533 patients with CR-POPF rates of 3.5%, 6.2%, 16.6%, and 23.2% for type A-D, respectively (P < 0.001). Conclusion: For future pancreatic surgical outcomes studies, the ISGPS recommends reporting these risk factors according to the proposed classification system for better comparability of results

    Le rouge et le bleu

    Au Québec, le rouge et le bleu ont traditionnellement servi d'étendards aux partis qui se sont affrontés sur la scène politique - même si ces couleurs ont pu rallier, au fil du temps, des causes bien différentes. Les 79 textes de cette anthologie rendent compte des débats qui ont façonné la société québécoise depuis la Conquête jusqu'à la Révolution tranquille. On y rencontre les principaux acteurs de cette histoire et les représentants des divers courants de pensée qui l'ont agitée : Étienne Parent, lord Durham, Louis-Joseph Papineau, Robert Nelson, Mgr Lartigue, Louis-Hyppolite La Fontaine, George-Étienne Cartier, Arthur Buies, Wilfrid Laurier, Jules-Paul Tardivel, Henri Bourassa, Olivar Asselin, l'abbé Groulx, Idola Saint-Jean, André Laurendeau, Maurice Duplessis, Fernand Dumont, Pierre Elliott Trudeau et René Lévesque
