In this paper, we applied texture analysis to evaluate cerebral degeneration in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Two well-known methods, the gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) and the gray level aura matrix (GLAM) were employed to extract texture features from routine T1 and T2 MR images....

Giles, M. A., Lawrence, S. G., Klaverkamp, J. F.
In order to conduct oil sands mining operations in the surface mining region of the Athabasca oil sands deposits, most regions require depressurization of the basal sandstone formations. The groundwater produced by depressurization operations is of poor enough quality to be toxic to fish. The...

The evaluation of toxic effects induced by exposure of mammals to oil sands process-affected water and its organic fraction
DownloadSpring 2018
Oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) produced by the surface-mining oil sands industry in Alberta, has been shown to be toxic to a variety of organisms. Much of this toxicity has been attributed to the dissolved organic compounds, primarily naphthenic acids (NAs). Under a no-release practice,...

The impact of saline waters upon freshwater biota, having special reference to the AOSERP study area, is reviewed. Available information on water quality in the AOSERP study area indicates that: the natural regional surface water quality does not appear to have any toxic effects, and chloride...

Anderson, P. D., D'Apollinia, S., Perry, S., Dick, J., Deluca, J., Spear, P.
This study was initiated in early 1976 during the early stages of the Alberta Oil Sands Environmental Research Program. The goal of the project was the establishment of criteria safeguarding fish from toxic effects of mixtures of vanadium, nickel, and phenol to fish. All three constituents are...

Baracos, Vickie, Dieleman, Levinus, Farhangfar, Arazm, Lin, Xiaoxi B., Gänzle, Michael G., Sawyer, Michael B., Valcheva, Rosica, Schieber, Andreas
CPT-11 is a drug used as chemotherapy for colorectal cancer. CPT-11 causes toxic side-effects in patients. CPT-11 toxicity has been attributed to the activity of intestinal microbiota, however, intestinal microbiota may also have protective effects in CP!-11 chemotherapy. This study aimed to...

Niño, Maria Eugenia, Serrano, Sergio Eduardo, Niño, Daniela Camila, McCosham, Diana Margarita, Cardenas, Maria Eugenia, Villareal, Vivian Poleth, Schulz, Richard
Matrix metalloproteinases and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases could be promising biomarkers for establishing prognosis during the development of sepsis. It is necessary to clarify the relationship between matrix metalloproteinases and their tissue inhibitors. We conducted a cohort study...

Toxicity of saline groundwater from Syncrude's Lease 17 to fish and benthic macroinvertebrates
Download1977
Peltzner, A., McMahon, B., McCart, P., Walder, G.
The mining of the tar sands which are included in the area to be developed by Syncrude Canada Ltd. will require the dewatering of the mine pits. This will involve the pumping of large volumes of saline groundwater. Present plans call for its eventual disposal through Ruth Lake, the Poplar River...

Lung cancer has the highest mortality rates of all cancers worldwide, with a 5-year survival rate less than 15%. Screening methods are in need for the high risk population, as lung cancer is asymptomatic in its early stages. Proper screening methods would allow earlier diagnosis and curative...
