Abstract:
"Gaspard is a warrior" is a metaphor highlighting the long battle undertaken by mental health patients to recover from their condition. At each stage, Gaspard, a fictional character embodying many of the patients seen by professionals, is given several therapeutic tools to help him carry out his fight. In the background, nurses, thanks to their key role and position, are important allies as they support the person with mental health problems on their path towards rehabilitation. This article reflects on the clinical approach.

Fates of Pyruvate
In aerobic organisms, pyruvate is metabolized via the citric acid cycle to produce reduced coenzymes NADH and FADH2. These coenzymes are then oxidized in the electron transport chain to produce ATP and, in the process, regenerate the NAD+ and FAD. As seen in some cell types and organisms, fermentation...
Noble Gases
The elements in group 18 are noble gases (helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon). They earned the name “noble” because they were assumed to be nonreactive since they have filled valence shells. In 1962, Dr. Neil Bartlett at the University of British Columbia proved this assumption to be false.
