Challenges in conducting community-driven research created by differing ways of talking and thinking about science: a researcher’s perspective.
Download2013
Geary, J., Goodman, K.J., Colquhoun, A.
Increasingly, health scientists are becoming aware that research collaborations that include community partnerships can be an effective way to broaden the scope and enhance the impact of research aimed at improving public health. Such collaborations extend the reach of academic scientists by...

ABSTRACT Wnt signalling is of great biological importance as it has been implicated in development and cancer. The Wnt canonical pathway (WCP) is the best characterized signalling pathway. Based on my preliminary studies in my first and second years I found that the WCP is not linear and that it...

Cognitive Dysfunction in non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma Patients Treated with Front-Line Chemotherapy
DownloadSpring 2015
Despite the research to date, the characteristics and impact of cognitive dysfunction (CD) in cancer patients following chemotherapy is still not well understood. It is estimated approximately 20% of patients will manifest measurable cognitive deficits on neuropsychological testing...

There is a concern that brain tumours are underreported in the Alberta Cancer Registry (ACR), yet no studies have been performed to investigate this issue. This study addresses the concern of underreporting of brain tumours in the ACR by assessing case ascertainment of primary brain tumours cases...

Comparison of tooth loss between intensity modulated and non-intensity modulated radiotherapy in head and neck cancer patients
DownloadFall 2011
Advanced radiotherapy (RT) systems (intensity modulated radiotherapy, IMRT) is widely used to treat head and neck cancer. A combination of radiation and chemotherapy potentially increases toxicity as well as dental complications. Tooth loss was retrospectively assessed using oral cavity,...

Composition and correlation studies of fatty acids in seed oil of yellow sarson (Brassica campestris L.) cultivars and backcross derived zero erucic acid yellow sarson populations
Download1999-01-01
Rahman, M. H., Stølen, O., Rahman, L., Rahman, M. M.
The Yellow Sarson (Brassica campestris) cultivars of Bangladesh origin contain a high level (54%) of erucic fatty acid (C22:1). In the seeds of backcross derived zero-erucic acid Yellow Sarson populations, absence of erucic acid caused a simultaneous reduction in the content of arachidic (C20:0),...

The analysis of wide-angle cellular light scattering patterns is a challenging problem. Small changes to the organization, orientation, shape, and optical properties of scatterers and scattering populations can significantly alter their complex two-dimensional scattering signatures. Because of...

Computational identification of residues that modulate voltage sensitivity of voltage-gated potassium channels
Download2005
Background: Studies of the structure-function relationship in proteins for which no 3D structure is available are often based on inspection of multiple sequence alignments. Many functionally important residues of proteins can be identified because they are conserved during evolution. However,...

Deciphering the mechanism(s) which limit reovirus spread in resistant lung and HNSCC cancer cells
DownloadFall 2016
Reovirus is a naturally benign virus that preferentially replicates in transformed cells and is currently undergoing clinical trials as a promising oncolytic therapy. In normal mouse fibroblasts, transformation by constitutively activated Ras oncogene is sufficient to promote reovirus infection....

Delivery of STAT3 inhibitor cucurbitacins to tumor by polymeric nano-carriers : Implications in cancer chemo- and immunotherapy
DownloadFall 2009
Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3 (STAT3), a common oncogenic mediator, is constitutively activated in many types of human cancers and plays a critical role in tumor growth and cancer immune evasion. The focus of this dissertation is the delivery of STAT3 inhibitor cucurbitacins...
