The article is a book review of "Activism Across Borders since 1870" by Daniel Laqua. The book explores transnationalism from a historical perspective, focusing on causes and campaigns that transcend national borders. Laqua examines various progressive movements, including anti-colonialism, anti-imperialism, anti-racism, humanitarianism, pacifism, feminism, gender and sexuality, class struggle, human rights, and environmental activism. The book analyzes transnationalism through four lenses: connection, transience, ambivalence, and marginality. While the book provides a comprehensive view of transnationalism, some critics argue that certain topics are addressed too briefly. Overall, "Activism Across Borders" is recommended for researchers interested in the global history of social movements. [Extracted from the article]

In recent years, many education systems have undertaken an important shift towards results-based management (Bourgault, 2004). This type of management leads us to take a look at the success of students with behavioural difficulties because they are the most likely to drop out of school (ministère de l'Éducation, du Loisir et du Sport, 2006). It is therefore essential to implement an evidence-based intervention system that promotes the prevention of these difficulties. The Positive Behavioural Interventions and Supports (PBIS) system is evidence-based (Lapointe & Freiberg, 2006). PBIS, named Soutien au comportement positif (SCP) in French, is a behavioural response-to-intervention program. In this paper, we describe the SCP. Subsequently, we show its effects on the reduction of student misconduct within Québec schools, thus contributing to the prevention of behaviour problems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in which initial presentation in the palate is particularly rare. Only six cases have been reported in the literature. We present the case of a 70-year-old man was referred to the department of oral surgery with a chief complaint of denture instability. On clinical examination, a sessile and ulcerated mass was noted on the posterior portion of the right hard palate. An incisional biopsy was performed and the diagnosis of MCL was confirmed. The patient underwent multiple chemotherapy treatment and expired several years later from other medical complications. Lymphomas of the oral cavity are rare, and because the prognosis of such tumor is generally poor, a high degree of suspicion should be kept. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Increased blood pressure (BP) during orthognathic surgery may result in excessive blood loss, poor surgical field visualization, and longer surgical time and require blood transfusion. When uncontrollable high BP is encountered in an otherwise healthy patient during orthognathic surgery, the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma should be considered. Pheochromocytomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors of the chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla or extra-adrenal paraganglia (sympathetic ganglia) that secrete catecholamine. They are present in approximately 0.05 to 0.2% of hypertensive patients. Patients can present with hypertension, tachycardia, headaches, and diaphoresis. The clinical presentation may vary and a wide spectrum of nonspecific symptoms may be encountered. The elevated BP can be intermittent (40%) or permanent (60%). About 10% of pheochromocytomas are hereditary and they can be a feature of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2. This report describes the case of a 29-year-old patient with a large pheochromocytoma of the right adrenal gland undiagnosed before orthognathic surgery. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: The goal of this project was to report the complications associated with mandibular angle fractures and identify variables affecting their occurrence. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the charts of patients with a mandibular angle fracture treated at the Centre hospitalier universitaire de Québec between 2009 and 2013. Results: Seventy-eight patients (73 males) aged 15-59 years (mean 25.2 years) met our inclusion criteria. A wisdom tooth was present in 85.9% (n = 67) of the cases and it was removed 62.7% (n = 42) of the time. Thirty-four patients (43.6%) had other mandibular fractures. Most fractures were fixated with a sagittal split osteotomy plate (n = 32; 41.0%) or a 2.0-mm plate on the lateral aspect of the mandible (n = 20; 25.6%). The overall complication rate was 42.3% (n = 33); of these 37.2% were infections, 26.9% involved plate removal and 6.4% were associated with non-union. Older patients had more infections (p = 0.03) and more plates removed (p = 0.03). When a wisdom tooth was extracted, more infections (p = 0.04) and overall complications (p = 0.02) were observed. Conclusion: This study confirms that, when treating a mandibular angle fracture in a healthy patient, it may be beneficial to leave a wisdom tooth in the line of fracture in place, if there is no indication to remove it.
