Incidence and prevalence of dementia in linked administrative health data in Saskatchewan, Canada: A retrospective cohort study
Download2015
Kosteniuk, Julie G., Crossley, Margaret, Teare, Gary F., Stewart, Norma J., Quail, Jacqueline M., Kirk, Andrew, Bello-Haas, Vanina Dal, O’Connell, Megan E., Forbes, Dorothy A., Morgan, Debra G., Innes, Anthea
Background Determining the epidemiology of dementia among the population as a whole in specific jurisdictions – including the long-term care population–is essential to providing appropriate care. The objectives of this study were to use linked administrative databases in the province of...

Influenza Vaccination in Patients with Diabetes: Exploration of the Healthy User in Pharmacoepidemiology Studies
DownloadFall 2015
Pharmacoepidemiologic studies of preventive medications or therapies are prone to the healthy user bias, as patients who are prescribed and adhere to preventive medications/therapies are likely different than patients not receiving these medications in multiple aspects of their lives. These...

Lopaschuk, G., Ezekowitz, C., Armstrong, P.W., Michelakis, E., Seldon, R., Ghali, W.A., Archer, S., Anderson, T., Jensen, L., Hayward, R.
Cardiovascular research training is experiential, and \"skills\" are traditionally acquired through a master-apprentice paradigm. The complexity of contemporary clinical research requires a new model for research training. Facilitated through a Strategic Training Program Initiative, the Canadian...

Insights into Membrane Type-1 Matrix Metalloproteinase cleavage of the Low-density Lipoprotein Receptor
DownloadSpring 2021
The Low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) mediated cellular uptake of LDL is the main pathway for plasma LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) clearance. However, the LDLR can be proteolytically cleaved to release its soluble ectodomain (sLDLR) into the extracellular milieu and as such reducing its LDL-C...

International Comparison of Time to Treatment Intensification and Rates of Complications in Metformin Monotherapy Treated Type 2 Diabetes Patients
DownloadFall 2018
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a progressive disease which affects many people in Canada and the United States, and the prevalence of type 2 diabetes is only expected to increase in the future. Pharmacological interventions are a cornerstone of the management of type 2 diabetes as they help to...

Investigating the role of coiled-coil domain containing protein 3 (CCDC3), a novel secreted protein, in endothelial inflammation
DownloadFall 2015
Endothelial inflammation is critical in the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that induces endothelial inflammation via activation of nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) signaling....

Van Moorter, B., Mcloughlin, P. D., Gaillard, J. M., Duncan, P., Boyce, M. S., Delorme, D., Klein, F., Bonenfant, C., Messier, F., Said, S.
The relationship between individual performance and nonrandom use of habitat is fundamental to ecology; however, empirical tests of this relationship remain limited, especially for higher orders of selection like that of the home range. We quantified the association between lifetime reproductive...

Linking occurrence and fitness to persistence: habitat-based approach for endangered greater sage-grouse
Download2007
Detailed empirical models predicting both species occurrence and fitness across a landscape are necessary to understand processes related to population persistence. Failure to consider both occurrence and fitness may result in incorrect assessments of habitat importance leading to inappropriate...

Longitudinal and cross-sectional associations between physical activity, screen time, and fitness in a sample of young children from Edmonton, Canada
DownloadFall 2016
Background: High fitness is associated with several positive health outcomes; however, fitness of Canadian children has declined over the past two decades. Correlates of fitness in children under 10 years of age are relatively unexplored, and few studies involving young children have looked at...

Yasui, Y., Burstyn, I., Li, Q., Beesoon, S., Cherry, N. M., Martin, J. W., Bamforth, F.
We conducted a case-referent study of the effect of exposure to bisphenol-A on fetal growth in utero in full-term, live-born singletons in Alberta, Canada. Newborns <10 percentile of expected weight for gestational age and sex were individually matched on sex, maternal smoking and maternal age to...
