A Novel Association Between Primary Biliary Cholangitis and Idiopathic Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
DownloadFall 2020
Background and Hypothesis Idiopathic Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (IPAH) and Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) are both rare diseases that are progressive and may be fatal when left untreated. Furthermore, mitochondrial dynamics are fundamental to the pathogenesis of both conditions. An...

A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial of Intravenous N-acetyl Cysteine in Patients Undergoing Pharmaco-invasive Reperfusion Early After an ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction
DownloadFall 2023
Background: N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) effectively breaks down arterial thrombi in animal models and activates cardioprotective cellular pathways in STEMI models. Our study aimed to conduct a pilot trial to translate the beneficial effects of intravenous NAC observed in vascular occlusion models...

A Retrospective Analysis of the Safety and Efficacy of a 6-Week Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program in Patients with Severe Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
DownloadSpring 2014
Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) is progressive disease characterized by reduced exercise capacity and decreased quality of life. Despite the availability of disease targeted therapies outcomes remain sub-optimal. Pulmonary Rehabilitation has proven to improve outcomes in other chronic...

A Retrospective Study on Potential Organ Donation and Transplantation Opportunities in Alberta Emergency Rooms and Intensive Care Units
DownloadFall 2018
Background: In patients with end stage organ failure, organ transplant is often the only life saving treatment. Unfortunately, worldwide, the number of organs needed for transplant far outnumber the number of organs available. This scarcity of organs has led to interest in methods of increasing...

A Study of the Protein Phosphatase 1 (PP1) Regulatory Subunit, TIMAP, in Human Glomerular Endothelial Cells
DownloadFall 2015
TIMAP is a prenylated endothelial-predominant regulatory subunit for the serine/threonine (Ser,S/Thr,T) protein phosphatase 1 catalytic subunit (PP1c). TIMAP was first discovered in glomerular endothelial cells. It is expressed in the developing blood vessels of kidney, and its transcription in...
