Breathing Dynamics for Non-speech and Speech Tasks Following Intensive Voice and Speech Treatment in Children with Motor Speech Disorders Secondary to Cerebral Palsy
DownloadFall 2015
Introduction. Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most frequently occurring cause of movement disorders in children. It has a prevalence of 2-2.5 cases per 1000 live births and is a chronic condition, requiring lifelong rehabilitation. The ability to communicate is a primary factor in positive...

Characteristics Associated with Increased Pain and Low Functional Recovery Three- Five Years Following Total Knee Arthroplasty
DownloadFall 2012
The incidence of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in Canada is steadily escalating; however, some recipients do not experience optimal outcomes. The objective of this study was to identify patient demographics associated with inferior pain and functional outcomes at 3-5years post-TKA. A secondary...

To overcome the limitations of lens aberrations in an electron microscope, Dr. Dennis Gabor invented electron holography, a technique that uses no lenses. The technique uses low energies (60-200eV), which makes it ideal for imaging fragile biological samples. To suspend samples, graphene has been...

Experimental evaluation and model development for analysis of pressure drop in the lungs of children
DownloadFall 2018
Airway resistance describes the ratio between pressure drop and flow rate through the conducting respiratory airways. Analytical models of airway resistance for tracheobronchial airways have previously been developed and assessed without upper airways positioned upstream of the trachea. This...

Sleep Disordered Breathing: Contribution of Abdominal Muscle Activation and Hormonal Intervention in Healthy and Pathological Conditions
DownloadSpring 2024
Breathing and sleep are both imperative and intricate physiological processes that require development in the perinatal period to sustain life and adapting to changes in postnatal life. Inspiration and expiration are generated by oscillatory microcircuits located in the ventrolateral medulla and...
