Application of ROC curve analysis to metabolomics data sets for the detection of cancer in a mouse model
DownloadFall 2010
The goal of this study was to show that quantifiable metabolic changes may be used to screen for cancer. NIH III nude mice (n=22) were injected with human GBM cells, with daily urine samples collected pre and post-injection. 14 mice were injected with saline to serve as controls. The...

Background: Cancer-associated venous thromboembolism (VTE) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Cancer patients are at higher risk of VTE recurrence despite anticoagulation and bleeding complications while on anticoagulation. There are some risk factors of bleeding specific...

Fall 2020
Around the world, cancer is a leading cause of death and the burden of cancer is expected to increase in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs), where 82% of the world’s population resides. In these countries, which include Pakistan, aspects of the culture and traditions, inaccessibility to...

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 the degree of external root resorption of lower incisors and canines when using the Forsus Spring® over the arch or as part of a Crossbow® device in a RCT
DownloadFall 2020
Objective: Assess the degree of external root resorption among lower incisors and canines undergoing orthodontic movement with two Forsus® springs approaches. Materials and methods: The sample of this RCT consisted of 23 patients treated with Forsus® springs over the arch and in 20 patients as...

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,...

Cone-Beam Computed Tomography Evaluation of Oropharyngeal Airway Dimensions in Adolescents with Maxillary Transverse Deficiency
DownloadFall 2012
Objectives: The objective of this study is to analyze cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images to measure changes in oropharyngeal airway (OPA) dimensions after treatment with rapid maxillary expansion (RME), and compare these changes with those from a matched control group. Methods: This...
