From the trenches: a cross-sectional study applying the GRADE tool in systematic reviews of healthcare interventions.
Download2012
Dryden, D. M., Vandermeer, B., Seida, J., Hartling, L., Fernandes, R. M.
Background GRADE was developed to address shortcomings of tools to rate the quality of a body of evidence. While much has been published about GRADE, there are few empirical and systematic evaluations. Objective To assess GRADE for systematic reviews (SRs) in terms of inter-rater agreement and...

Tjosvold, Lisa, Klassen, Terry P., Bialy, Liza M., Hartling, Lisa, Vandermeer, Ben, Johnson, David W., Patel, Hema, Plint, Amy C., Fernandes, Ricardo M.
BACKGROUND: Previous systematic reviews have not shown clear benefit of glucocorticoids for acute viral bronchiolitis, but their use remains considerable. Recent large trials add substantially to current evidence and suggest novel glucocorticoid-including treatment approaches. OBJECTIVES: To...

Identifying Major Depressive Symptoms and Major Depressive Episodes in Adolescents with Cancer
DownloadFall 2015
Cancer is the leading cause of death from disease among adolescents in Canada. Although cancer is a well-researched disease process in the medical and nursing literature, adolescence is relatively understudied, with minimal evidence on strategies to promote healthy emotional adjustment...

IL-6 indirectly modulates the induction of glyceroneogenic enzmes in adipose tissue during exercise
Download2012
Wan, Zhongxiao, Beaudoin, Marie-Soleil, Castellani, Laura, Wright, David C., Ritchie, Ian, Chan, Catherine B.
Background Glyceroneogenesis is an important step in the control of fatty acid re-esterification with PEPCK and PDK4 being identified as key enzymes in this process. We have previously shown that glyceroneogenic enzymes such as PDK4 are rapidly induced in white adipose tissue during exercise....

Impact of a low fructose, low glycemic index and low glycemic load dietary intervention on liver function, body composition and cardio metabolic risk factors in children and adolescents with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease
DownloadSpring 2013
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common liver disease in obese children. Diets high in added fructose (high fructose corn syrup; HFCS)/glycemic index (GI)/glycemic load (GL) in children with NAFLD are associated with increased inflammation and liver dysfunction. We hypothesized that...

Individualized Health Related Quality of Life Measures: their use in children and their psychometric properties
DownloadFall 2012
Health related quality of life (HRQL) has recently been recognized as an essential outcome of patient-centered care. Individualized HRQL (iHRQL) measures propose a patient-centered approach to HRQL measurement; these measures allow patients to nominate areas of life that are important and then...
