Bruno-Marie Bechard, who has been rector ofUdeS since 2001, was awarded the rank of officier, the second of three grades of the Ordre des Palmes By Tory Davis ¦i.—.—he rector of TUniversité de Sher-Drooke was bestowed on Mon- ! day with an academic honour .A.from France.Bruno-Marie Béchard, who has been rector of the university since 2001, was chosen by the government of France to receive the prestigious Ordre des Palmes académiques.Fie was awarded the rank of officier, the second of three grades of the academic honour.The gesture is of significance, as it is rare for a person to receive the second level of merit immediately.Normally, a person begins as a chevalier and ascends to the position of officier.The French government informed Béchard via the French Embassy that he would be receiving the award for his contributions to the spreading of the French language and culture, and also for forging and stoking relationships between Québécois and French universities.Under Béchard’s stewardship, 1’Uni-verisité de Sherbrooke signed 54 new partnership agreements with universities in France, taking the number from 17 to 71.He formed a strong alliance between the universities and cities of Sherbrooke and Montpellier, and was also integral to the foundation of the first Franco-Quebecois international laboratory, which specialises in nanotechnology.The announcement was at the behest of French Prime Minister François Fillon.The award was inaugurated in 1808 by Napoleon I as a tribute to the educators at the Université de Paris.The distinction fell out of use until it was resurrected in 1955 by then-Presi-dent René Coty.The award is used to honour distinguished contributions to education, and less-formally to honour those who contribute to the advancement of French language and culture.The distinction used to be limited to teachers and professors, but now can be awarded to anyone who makes major contributions to French education and culture.The award has also been expanded to include contributions made by foreigners, which qualifies Béchard, as well as French nationals who contribute from abroad.“There’s no pandemic in Quebec” By Corrinna Pole Sherbrooke Eight new cases of the influenza A (H1N1), “swine flu”, have been confirmed in Quebec, bringing the total number of recorded cases to 192 since the end of April.In the wake of the new infections the OSCQ (L’Organisation de la sécurité civile du Québec), the coordination group that responds to any natural disaster such as wildfires or floods, is continuing to keep a close watch on the situation.While OSCQ is adjusting its intervention strategy as needed, it also announced it is preparing an intervention plan for the possibility of a stronger presence of the virus in the fall.Despite the new cases, the Quebec government has declared there is no pandemic in the province on the website, www.pandemiequebec.gouv.qc.ca.The report of new cases comes just days after the WHO (World Health Organization) released its update on the numbers of outbreaks worldwide and a week after the PHAC (Public Health Agency of Canada) showed the spread of infection in Canada.At the time, statistics indicated that the spread of the virus has been waning since May 17.The cumulative data from Quebec includes people who have recovered from the infection and does not refer to current patients because laboratory tests are needed to confirm the presence of this particular strain.H1N1 mimics the symptoms of seasonal flu such as fever, cough, loss of appetite, headache and muscle pain.Some infected individuals may also experience runny nose, sore throat, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.More severe symptoms include shortness of breath, chest pain, and loss of consciousness and sufferers should seek immediate medical evaluation.One of the differences between H1N1 and seasonal influenza is the target.The very young and those over 65 years are more likely to experience acute symptoms of seasonal flu whereas H1N1 seems drawn to those in the prime of heath.For both influenzas those with pre-existing medical conditions, such as chronic diseases, immunosuppression, cancer, HIV or pregnancy, may find themselves vulnerable to the more severe symptoms and have a higher risk of experiencing complications.Good hygiene practices such as washing hands with soap and water or an antibacterial hand rinse, coughing or sneezing into the bend of your elbow or a tissue, disinfecting your environment and staying home when experiencing symptoms, can reduce the spread of the virus.Since H1N1 made its appearance and set off a heightened sense of fear among the public, it also raised questions and polarized opinion on whether consuming pork is safe.Health organizations such as the WHO, PHAC and the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) seem to agree that influenza A (HlNl) has not been shown to be transmissible to people through eating properly handled and prepared pork.As a preventive measure, the MAPAQ (ministère de l’Agriculture, des Pêcheries et de l’Alimentation) in collaboration with several partners, is keeping a vigilant watch on the evolution of the virus.Sample kits have been distributed to veterinarians and 71 analysis sites across the province examine specimens that have been collected.To date none of the samples have revealed the presence of a virus strain in pigs causing the MAPAQ to reiterate that eating pork is very safe.For health questions about influenza A (HlNl) contact Info-Santé 8-1-1 or visit

This year the Fédération des médecins résidents du Québec (Quebec federation of medical residents) declared May 28 to be Residents Day.This is a perfect opportunity for the CHUS to highlight the major role played by its 540 medical residents.Because the residents are worth their weight in gold! ?c-4 y s'.* W SHH! llü¦' ' What is a resident?He or she is a student of medicine who has completed their course (four years at the Université de Sherbrooke) and has begun practical training.Depending on the specialty chosen, additional training may take up to six years.For family physicians, the average is two years.During this time, the resident works in the hospital to increase their knowledge and perfect their skills."Residents become more independent as their training progresses," says Dr.Donald Echenberg, director of education at the CHUS and professor in the faculty of medicine and health sciences of the Université de Sherbrooke."They are often the first to meet patients and examine them.They make a diagnosis and decide upon treatment with the advice and guidance of the supervising doctor who is ultimately responsible for the patient.Residents are also required to perform a certain number of call duties." It’s a crazy but very exciting life The life of a medical resident is a bit crazy.The workweek is about 70 hours long, to which is added dozens of hours studying, performing call duty at the hospital or at home (on call) and moving from place to place for internships."We also have the responsibility of teaching younger residents and, since there are more and more students, it can be demanding.Fortunately, those who choose medicine are used to hard work and, with a healthy lifestyle, it works out alright," says Dr.jean-Christophe Carvalho, 6,h year resident in cardiology and vice-president of the Association des médecins résidents de l’Université de Sherbrooke (AMRES), association of medical residents."It must be said that residency is a very stimulating time for us because we are putting to use the things we have learned," adds Vd year anesthesia resident and AMRES president Dr.Marie-Noelle Larochelle-Girard."We can finally begin providing health care and have the chance to be involved in teaching and research -while we continue learning! We have the opportunity to develop alongside knowledgeable teams and supervisors in an environment at the cutting edge of technology.We are young and full of energy and dreams!" “An enormous help" What residents enjoy, above all, are the relationships they build with their patients."Most people welcome us kindly because they expect to meet medical residents in a university hospital," adds Dr.Carvalho."We can develop close relationships with them and follow their progress.And the best reward of all is watching them heal." "It is very satisfying to belong to a care team and to feel that we have our place," says Dr.Larochelle-Girard."And the more experience we gain, the more our skills complement those of other members of the care team and the better we can help the patients.The CHUS is a very pleasant place where medical residents can grow and prepare to strike out on their own." Today's residents are tomorrow's family physicians and specialists.That’s why the CHUS is proud to train them through its alliance with the Université de Sherbrooke."The fact of having residents challenges us to provide them with the best education," concludes Dr.Echenberg."It also enables us to have and use the latest equipment and technology, which is a direct benefit to patients.In addition, they are an enormous help, and it is an honour to have them."
