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...

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...

Tremblay, Mark S., Shephard, Roy J., Brawley, Lawrence R., Cameron, Christine, Craig, Cora Lynn, Duggan, Mary, Esliger, Dale W., Hearst, William, Hicks, Audrey, Janssen, Ian, Katzmarzyk, Peter T., Latimer, Amy E., Martin Ginis, Kathleen A., McGuire, Ashlee, Paterson, Donald H., Sharratt, Michael, Spence, John C., Timmons, Brian, Warburton, Darren, Young, T. Kue, Zehr, Lori
"This article summarizes the main findings from the papers included in this journal supplement. It consolidates the evidence currently available to inform and advance the development of physical activity guidelines for Canadians, and it highlights the specific needs of various population...

Forbes, D.A., Wood, J., Morgan, D., Taylor, B., Markle-Reid, M., Forbes, S.C.
This is the protocol for a review and there is no abstract. The objectives are as follows: 1.To evaluate the effects of physical activity programs on function (e.g., activities of daily [ADLs], physical function), cognition, mood, behaviour, and mortality in older persons with dementia. 2.To...

Young, T. Kue, Katzmarzyk, Peter T.
"This paper summarizes available information on patterns of physical activity, their determinants and consequences, and the results of various interventions designed to increase the physical activity of Aboriginal peoples in Canada and the United States. There is a paucity of national data on...

A School-Based Randomized Controlled Trial to Improve Physical Activity among Iranian High School Girls
Download2008
Ghofranipou, F., Niknami, S., Taymoori, P., Berry, T. R., Lubans, D.
Background: Physical activity (PA) rates decline precipitously during the high school years and are consistently lower among adolescent girls than adolescent boys. Due to cultural barriers, this problem might be exacerbated in female Iranian adolescents. However, little intervention research has...

Assessing the effects of weather conditions on physical activity participation using objective measures
Download2009
Chan, Catherine B., Ryan, Daniel A.
Habitual physical activity is an important determinant of health, yet many people are considered to be inactive. Identification of the obstacles to greater participation is necessary for the development of strategies to overcome those obstacles. The weather has been identified as a perceived...

Risk of bias versus quality assessment of randomised controlled trials: cross sectional study.
Download2009
Dryden, D. M., Krebs Seida, J., Ospina, M., Hooton, N., Hartling, L., Klassen, T. P., Liang, Y.
Objectives To evaluate the risk of bias tool, introduced by the Cochrane Collaboration for assessing the internal validity of randomised trials, for inter-rater agreement, concurrent validity compared with the Jadad scale and Schulz approach to allocation concealment, and the relation between...

Lix, Lisa M., Bruce, Sharon, Sarkar, Joykrishna, Young, T. Kue
"Background: In Canada, the prevalence of behavioural risk factors and chronic conditions differs for Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal populations, but little research has examined changes over time. This study compares several major risk factors and chronic conditions in Aboriginal and...

Does perceived behavioral control mediate the association between perceptions of neighborhood walkability and moderate and vigorous-intensity leisure-time physical activity?
Download2009
Spence, J. C., Doyle-Baker, T., McCormack, G. R., Berry, T. R.
Background: Research regarding the pathways via which the environment influences physical activity is limited. This study examined the role of perceived behavioral control (PBC) in mediating the relationship between perceptions of neighborhood walkability and frequency of moderate (MODPA) and...
