Treating the Placenta with a Nanoparticle-Encapsulated Mitochondrial Antioxidant Improves Placental Function and Fetal Cardiomyocyte Development in a Rat Model of Prenatal Hypoxia
DownloadSpring 2021
Introduction: Pregnancy complications associated with prenatal hypoxia have been linked to the development of cardiovascular disease in adult offspring. Prenatal hypoxia (due to maternal or placental hypoxia) has been shown to increase placental oxidative stress and impair placental function in a...

Treating Waste with Waste – Calcined Bauxite Residue (CBR) as a Potential Wastewater Treatment Option for Oil Sands Process-affected Water (OSPW) and Municipal Wastewater
DownloadFall 2023
Bauxite residue is a byproduct generated during the extraction of alumina from bauxite ore. It is highly alkaline and has the potential to release toxic substances (metals) into the surrounding environment during storage. Hence, there is a growing interest in exploring the potential for metal...

Treatment effect of Low Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound either alone, with functional appliance and with gene therapy on the mandibular condylar growth
DownloadFall 2016
The aim of this thesis was to investigate the effect of Low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) with or without the use of forward bite jumping appliance, also known as functional appliance (FA) on the mandibular condylar growth in the rat model and also to investigate the biological effect on MC...

Treatment of early age-related macular degeneration in a cell culture model with femtosecond laser pulses
DownloadFall 2017
This thesis work focuses on obtaining preliminary results demonstrating the isolated femtosecond laser ablation of sub-RPE drusen-like deposits. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is an age-onset degenerative condition of the retina that can lead to legal blindness. The early stages of the...
