Gestational weight gain, physical activity, and nutrition counselling practices of prenatal health care providers: What influences practice?
DownloadFall 2016
Appropriate gestational weight gain is important for maternal and child health. Data from a recent Alberta cohort showed 49% of pregnant women gained weight in excess of Health Canada guidelines. Regional studies have shown low rates of gestational weight gain counselling by health care...

Integration of Nanomechanical Resonators in Microfluidic Systems for Specific Protein Detection
DownloadFall 2009
Nanomechanical resonators offer a pathway towards highly sensitive and label-free detection of biomolecules by transducing the mass of bound analytes into resonant frequency shifts. Zeptogram level and even single cell detections have been successfully achieved by others. However, these...

Development of a Multisectorial Electroactive Nanowell Platform for Selective Single-Cell Sorting and Quantification
DownloadSpring 2022
The rapid isolation of specific rare target cells is of rising importance in current targeted patient treatment plans. Common cell sorting approaches such as stream-based dielectrophoresis (DEP) based cell sorters are limited by their spatial dimensions as only a number of cell types...
