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 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,...

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,...

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...

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....
