van Houten, B., Patel, M., Chan, C. B., Orrenius, S. , Fariss, M. W.
Oxidative stress and mitochondrial oxidative damage have been implicated in the etiology of numerous common diseases. The critical mitochondrial events responsible for oxidative stress–mediated cell death (toxic oxidative stress), however, have yet to be defined. Several oxidative events...

Bjerregaard, Peter, Chatwood, Susan, Denning, Bryany, Joseph, Lawrence, Young, T. Kue
Objectives: The objective was to analyze the variation of secondary sex ratios across the Arctic and to estimate the time trend. The rationale for this was claims in news media that, in the Arctic, sex ratios have become reduced due to exposure to anthropogenic contaminants in the environment....

submitted manuscript titled as 'Superior Cognitive Mapping through Single-landmark-related Learning than through Boundary-related Learning'
submitted manuscript titled as 'Superior Cognitive Mapping through Single-landmark-related Learning than through Boundary-related Learning'
Download2016-01-01
Cognitive mapping is assumed to be through hippocampus-dependent place learning rather than striatum-dependent response learning. However, we propose that either type of spatial learning, as long as it involves encoding metric relations between locations and reference points, could lead to a...

Technology Assessment and Resource Allocation for Predictive Genetic Testing: A Study of the Perspectives of Canadian Health Care Providers
Download2009-01-01
Adair, Alethea, Hyde-Lay, Robyn, Einsiedel, Edna, Caulfield, Timothy
With a growing number of genetic tests becoming available to the health and consumer markets, genetic health care providers in Canada are faced with the challenge of developing robust decision rules or guidelines to allocate a finite number of public resources. The objective of this study was to...

The effects of cue placement on the relative dominance of boundaries and landmark arrays in goal localization
Download2019-05-06
Two types of visual features are identified as reference points used by individuals to encode locations: surface-based boundaries and discrete-object-based landmarks. Previous research show that learning locations relative to a boundary can overshadow learning relative to a landmark, but not vice...

The regulation of science and the Charter of Rights: Would a ban on non-reproductive human cloning unjustifiably violate freedom of expression?
Download2004
Caulfield, Timothy, Billingsley, Barbara
Non-Reproductive Human Cloning (NRHC) allows researchers to develop and clone cells, including non-reproductive cells, and to research the etiology and transmission of disease. The ability to clone specific stems cells may also allow researchers to clone cells with genetic defects and analyze...

Training programmes and mealtime assistance may improve eating performance for elderly long-term care residents with dementia
Download2016
Slaughter, Susan, Keller, Heather
Implications for practice and research: Multifactorial rather than single component interventions are more likely to improve eating performance of older adults with dementia in long-term care. Future research is needed to evaluate the effectiveness and fidelity of interventions in real world...

Using bioelectrical impedance analysis in children and adolescents: Pressing issues
2022-05-01
Orsso, Camila E., Gonzalez, Maria Cristina, Maisch, Michael Johannes, Haqq, Andrea M., Prado, Carla M.
Single- and multifrequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) has gained popularity as a tool to assess body composition and health status of children and adolescents, but many questions and misconceptions remain. This review addresses pressing issues researchers and health care providers may...
