Drug Exposure Definition and Healthy User Bias Impacts on the Evaluation of Oral Anti Hyperglycemic Therapies
DownloadFall 2017
Accurate estimation of medication use is an essential component of any pharmacoepidemiological research as exposure misclassification will threaten study validity and lead to spurious associations. Many pharmacoepidemiological studies use simple definitions, such as the categorical “any versus no...

Exploring the Relationship Between Depression and Adherence in Individuals with Type 2 Diabetes
DownloadFall 2020
Background: Depression is a well-known risk factor for poor medication adherence in individuals with diabetes; however, this association is based on cross-sectional and cohort studies measuring adherence after depression is diagnosed. Symptoms of depression often progress before medical...

Feeding high oleic acid Canola oil or olive oil alters inflammation, insulin resistance and lipid metabolism in a rodent model of diet induced obesity
DownloadFall 2011
To determine the efficacy of feeding monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) via a high MUFA Canola oil on T2D risk factors diet induced obese rats were fed either a low fat diet (LF), a high fat low MUFA diet (HF), a high fat high MUFA olive oil diet (OO), or a high fat high MUFA Canola oil diet...

Histories, Bodies, Stories, Hungers: The Colonial Origins of Diabetes as a Health Disparity among Indigenous Peoples in Canada
DownloadFall 2018
Indigenous people in Canada suffer disproportionately from health disparities, such as obesity and type 2 diabetes, and I have explored these health disparities among Indigenous peoples through the lens of embodiment. Framed within the Developmental Origins of Health and Disease (DOHaD) model,...

Spring 2022
Background: In metabolic disease statues, such as diabetes and obesity, dyslipidemia is characterized by a dysregulation of lipid homeostasis, due in part to elevated triglyceride (TG)-rich very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL-TG) production and secretion by the liver. Further, these metabolic...

In-line Ozonolysis coupled to Mass Spectrometry- A New Dimension of Structural Determination for Lipids
DownloadFall 2014
The location of double bonds within unsaturated lipids can greatly affect their biological functions. Liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC/MS) has become a powerful tool for lipid separation and structural elucidation. However, the determination of double bond position remains...

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...
