The Development, Feasibility, Acceptability, and Efficacy of a 12-Week Online Mind-Body Intervention for People with Primary Biliary Cholangitis
DownloadFall 2022
Introduction: Persons with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) experience significantly higher rates of mental distress, impaired health related quality of life (HrQoL), and fatigue than the general population. While mind-body interventions have been shown to improve mental health and HrQoL, and...

Background Muscular dystrophy (MD) is a group of inherited neuromuscular disorders with heart disease as a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Dystrophinopathies such as Duchenne and Becker MD, limb-girdle MD, type 1 myotonic dystrophy (DM1), and facioscapulohumeral MD are most associated...

The perplexity of calcium-binding protein, spermatid-associated 1 (CABS1): A molecule that despite its name, is present beyond the reproductive tract, with ties to stress, and possessing an anti-inflammatory domain only preserved in simians
DownloadFall 2022
A protein in rat submandibular glands (SMG) led our group to research human calcium-binding protein, spermatid associated 1 (CABS1). In a model of lung inflammation in rats where neural input was interrupted, our group observed that SMG released an anti-inflammatory factor later identified as...

Understanding Heart Failure in Patients with Dilated Cardiomyopathy: A Direct Tissue Analysis from Explanted Human Hearts
DownloadFall 2022
Background Chronic heart failure (HF) remains a rising global epidemic that affects both adults and children population. The causes of HF are heterogeneous, and syndromes are often complicated by concomitant disorders such as iron deficiency (ID) and diabetes. Comorbidities not only complicate...

Evaluation of Frailty Assessment Tools and their Measurement Properties in Chronic Kidney Disease
DownloadSpring 2022
Background: Frailty is three to seven times more common in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) than in those with normal kidney function. Although frailty and its impact in CKD is well-recognized, the measurement properties of the tools used to assess this syndrome are not known. The aim of...

The endomembrane system is one of the hallmark features of all eukaryotes that distinguishes them from prokaryotes. Compared to bacteria and archaea, eukaryotic cells consist of biochemically and functionally distinct membranous compartments such as the endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi apparatus,...

Investigating Primary Biliary Cholangitis for a Human Betaretrovirus Superantigen signature
DownloadSpring 2022
Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) is an idiopathic autoimmune disease characterized by destruction of small hepatic bile ducts and presence of antimitochondrial antibodies (AMA). A Human Betaretrovirus (HBRV) sharing 91-99% sequence similarity with the Mouse Mammary Tumor virus has been...

Exploring the Association Between Frailty and Adverse Clinical Outcomes in Inflammatory Bowel Disease
DownloadFall 2022
Background and Rationale: Chronological age does not always accurately reflect “biological age”, or the extent of physiological reserve an individual possesses to endure stressors. The concept of physiological reserve is best represented by frailty; a multifaceted syndrome or state that...

Identification of Natural Health Product-Associated Adverse Events and Natural Health Product-Drug Interactions in Adults and Children with Cancer
DownloadSpring 2022
Background: Patients with cancer frequently use natural health products (NHPs) to help treat cancer, reduce side effects, or improve effectiveness of conventional cancer treatment, and improve their quality of life. Often oncology healthcare providers do not inquire about NHP use, leading to low...
