The Feasibility and Acceptability of a Virtually-Supported Home Exercise Program for People with Multiple Myeloma
DownloadFall 2021
Introduction: Exercise could help alleviate the significant morbidity experienced by people with multiple myeloma (MM). It is unclear if current cancer-specific exercise guidelines are appropriate for this unique population. Supervision, tailoring, and flexibility are proposed as key program...

The pulmonary vasculature during exercise in health and mild chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
DownloadFall 2017
The purpose of this dissertation was to characterize the response of the pulmonary vasculature to exercise in health (including a pharmacological intervention) and in individuals with mild chronic obstructive lung disease. The first project studied the effect of a dopamine receptor blockade on...

The Reliability and In-exercise Reduction of Frontal and Rotational Ultrasound Measurements for Adolescents with Idiopathic Scoliosis Performing Scoliosis-specific Exercises
DownloadFall 2018
Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is a spine deformity of unknown cause characterized by abnormal lateral curvature (Cobb angle>10°) with vertebral rotation. AIS affects 2-3% of all adolescents whom are likely to progress during their growth spurt preceding skeletal maturity. The Scoliosis...

Zebrafish Targeted Mutagenesis to Unveil Normal Physiological Functions of, and Interactions between, Prion Protein (PrP) and Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP): Relevance to Alzheimer’s disease
DownloadSpring 2017
Much of the work on Prion Protein (PrPC) and Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP) biology has focused on the contributions of their misfolded forms or aggregated metabolites to prion diseases and Alzheimer’s disease, respectively. As subversion/partial loss of some normal functions are also likely...
