Autosomal recessive spastic ataxia of Charlevoix-Saguenay (ARSACS) is a rare degenerative movement disorder impacting balance and mobility. Rehabilitation helps to reduce disease severity and increase the quality of life of people with ARSACS. However, rehabilitation programs require many trips to dedicated facilities, posing a significant challenge for individuals living with ARSACS. This study aimed to develop a home-based t...

Successful bottom planting of indigenous macroalgae Saccharina latissima aimed at coastal restoration purposes require the mass production in controlled conditions of strongly fixed, healthy sporophytes followed by optimal transfer techniques in order to ensure viability and vigor of the young seedlings about to be directly introduced in the coastal environment. Early development of S. latissima submitted to different combinat...

We explore the role of lakes in carbon cycling and global climate, examine the mechanisms influencing carbon pools and transformations in lakes, and discuss how the metabolism of carbon in the inland waters is likely to change in response to climate. Furthermore, we project changes as global climate change in the abundance and spatial distribution of lakes in the biosphere, and we revise the estimate for the global extent of c...
