Cree women speak: Intergenerational perspectives on weight gain during pregnancy and weight loss after pregnancy
Download2008
Brennand, Erin A., Vallianatos, Helen, Dannenbaum, David, Petawabano, Beatrice, Raine, Kim, Willows, Noreen D., Stephen, Queenie
Obesity is prevalent among the First Nations population in Canada, with serious associated health risks. Recent studies also indicate that a high percentage of First Nations women are overweight or obese at the start of their pregnancies, with a tendency to retain weight after their children are...

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of prion protein bound to the Fab fragment of the POM1 antibody
Download2011
James, Michael N. G., Swayampakula, Mridula , Polymenidou, Magdalini , Kav, Nat N. V., Aguzzi, Adriano, Wieland, Barbara, Baral, Pravas K.
Prion diseases are neurodegenerative diseases that are characterized by the conversion of the cellular prion protein PrPc to the pathogenic isoform PrPsc. Several antibodies are known to interact with the cellular prion protein and to inhibit this transition. An antibody Fab fragment, Fab POM1,...

Crystallization and preliminary x-ray diffraction studies of DNA decamer d(CCAGGCCTGG) complexed with cobalt(III)-pepleomycin
Download2004
Kamiya, Nobuo , Tsujimoto, Gozoh, Kawano, Yoshiaki, Yaguma, Kouji, Guan, Leluo, Sugiura, Yukio, Matsumoto, Osamu
Crystals of the self-complementary oligonucleotide d(CCAGGCCTGG) [Heinemann & Alings (1989), J. Mol. Biol. 210, 369-381] complexed with the hydroperoxide of cobalt-pepleomycin (CoPEP) were obtained by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method at 298 K. An X-ray diffraction data set was collected...

Current issues surrounding the definition of trans-fatty acids: Implications for health, industry and food labels
Download2013
The definition of trans-fatty acids (TFA) was established by the Codex Alimentarius to guide nutritional and legislative regulations to reduce TFA consumption. Currently, conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is excluded from the TFA definition based on evidence (primarily preclinical studies) implying...

Wang, Juli, Singer, Stacy D., Souto, Bernardo A., Asomaning, Justice, Ullah, Aman, Bressler, David, Chen, Guanqun
Abstract The expanding use of fossil fuels has caused concern in terms of both energy security and environmental issues. Therefore, attempts have been made worldwide to promote the development of renewable energy sources, among which biofuel is especially attractive. Compared to other biofuels,...

Daily steps are low year-round and dip lower in fall/winter: Findings from a longitudinal diabetes cohort
Download2010
Pilote, Louise, Chan, Cathy, Joseph, Lawrence, Strachan, Ian, Sigal, Ron J., Dasgupta, Kaberi
Background Higher walking levels lead to lower mortality in type 2 diabetes, but inclement weather may reduce walking. In this patient population, we conducted a longitudinal cohort study to objectively quantify seasonal variations both in walking and in two vascular risk factors associated with...

Design and synthesis of arylthiophene-2-Carbaldehydes via suzuki-miyaura reactions and their biological evaluation
Download2013
Riaz, Muhammad, Zubair, Muhammad, Ali, Shaukat, Rasool, Nasir, Ullah, Aman, Nasim, Faiz-ul-Hassan, Rashid, Umer, Yaqoob, Asma
A series of various novel 4-arylthiophene-2-carbaldehyde compounds were synthesized in moderate to excellent yields via Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling with different arylboronic pinacol esters/acids. The synthesized products were screened for their antibacterial, haemolytic, antiurease, and nitric...

Detection of enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli in food by droplet digital PCR to detect simultaneous virulence factors in a single genome
Download2020-09-01
He, Li, Simpson, David, Gänzle, Michael G.
Shiga toxin producing E. coli are a problem for food producers. STEC's require a combination of virulence factors to cause disease, so ideally detection techniques should detect the presence of multiple virulence factors in a single cell directly from food. Droplet Digital PCR (ddPCR) is commonly...
