A Longitudinal Examination of the Social-Ecological Correlates of Exercise in Men and Women Following Cardiac Rehabilitation
(MDPI, 2019-02-16)Cardiac patients who engage in ≥150 min of moderate- to vigorous-intensity physical activity (MVPA)/week have lower mortality, yet MVPA declines even following cardiac rehabilitation (CR), and is lower in women. A randomized ... -
Maintenance of Gains, Morbidity, and Mortality at 1 Year Following Cardiac Rehabilitation in a Middle‐Income Country: A Wait‐List Control Crossover Trial
(American Heart Association, 2019-02-15)Background-—Despite the epidemic of cardiovascular diseases in middle-income countries, few trials are testing the benefits of cardiac rehabilitation (CR). This trial assessed (1) maintenance of functional capacity, risk ... -
Masters or pawns? Examining injury and chronic disease in male Masters Athletes and chess players compared to population norms from the Canadian Community Health Survey
(Biomed Central, 2018-11-30)Background: Identifying the optimal type and amount of activity for the maintenance of function in older adults has proved challenging. On the one hand, Masters Athletes have been proposed as the ideal model of successful ... -
Metabolic Coordination of Pericyte Phenotypes: Therapeutic Implications
(Frontiers, 2020)Pericytes are mural vascular cells found predominantly on the abluminal wall of capillaries, where they contribute to the maintenance of capillary structural integrity and vascular permeability. Generally quiescent cells ... -
Models of Concurrent Disorder Service: Policy, Coordination, and Access to Care
(Frontiers, 2019-02-19)Background: Societal capacity to address the service needs of persons with concurrent mental health and substance-use disorders has historically been challenging given a traditionally siloed approach to mental health and ... -
Motor Learning Without Moving: Proprioceptive and Predictive Hand Localization After Passive Visuoproprioceptive Discrepancy Training
(PLOS, 2019)An accurate estimate of limb position is necessary for movement planning, before and after motor learning. Where we localize our unseen hand after a reach depends on felt hand position, or proprioception, but in studies ... -
Movement kinematics and proprioception in post-stroke spasticity: assessment using the Kinarm robotic exoskeleton
(BMC, 2019)Background Motor impairment after stroke interferes with performance of everyday activities. Upper limb spasticity may further disrupt the movement patterns that enable optimal function; however, the specific features of ... -
Nucleus-specific linker histones Hho1 and Mlh1 form distinct protein interactions during growth, starvation and development in Tetrahymena thermophila
(Springer Nature, 2019)Chromatin organization influences most aspects of gene expression regulation. The linker histone H1, along with the core histones, is a key component of eukaryotic chromatin. Despite its critical roles in chromatin structure ... -
On-ice measures of external load in relation to match outcome in elite female ice hockey
(MDPI, 2019)The aim of this study is to investigate the differences between select on-ice measures using inertial movement sensors based on match outcome, and to determine changes in player movements across three periods of play. Data ... -
A proof of concept application of aptachain: ligand-induced self-assembly of a DNA aptamer
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2019-01-14)A challenge for the use of aptamers as biosensors is how to signal the occurrence of their ligand binding event into a signal that can be exploited in a detection scheme. Here, we present the concept of “aptachain” formation, ... -
Pseudoaneurysm of thoracic aorta presenting as inappropriate sinus tachycardia and chronic cough
(BMC, 2019)Background Pseudoaneurysm of thoracic aorta as a complication of blunt trauma to the chest, can present with a variety of symptoms due to mass compression effect. Here we report the first pseudoaneurysm of thoracic aorta ... -
Regulating the fast-food landscape: Canadian news media representation of the Healthy Menu Choices Act
(BMC, 2019)With the rapid rise of fast food consumption in Canada, Ontario was the first province to legislate menu labelling requirements via the enactment of the Healthy Menu Choice Act (HMCA). As the news media plays a significant ... -
Sexual communal motivation in couples coping with low sexual interest/arousal: Associations with sexual well-being and sexual goals
(PLOS, 2019-07-17)Women coping with female sexual interest/arousal disorder (FSIAD) report lower sexual and relationship satisfaction compared to healthy controls. In community samples, high sexual communal strength (i.e., the motivation ... -
Shrubs indirectly increase desert seedbanks through facilitation of the plant community
(Public Library of Science, 2019)The mechanisms supporting positive ecological interactions are important. Foundation species can structure desert biodiversity by facilitating seedbanks of annual plants, but the direct and indirect mechanisms of shrub ... -
Smad7:β-catenin Complex Regulates Myogenic Gene Transcription
(Springer Nature, 2019)Recent reports indicate that Smad7 promotes skeletal muscle differentiation and growth. We previously documented a non-canonical role of nuclear Smad7 during myogenesis, independent of its role in TGF-β signaling. Here ... -
Space and time in episodic memory: Effects of linearity and directionality on memory for spatial location and temporal order in children and adults
(PLOS, 2018-11-08)Episodic memory is a critical capacity that involves remembering past events along with their spatial and temporal contexts. Relatively little is known about the relations between spatial and temporal information in long-term ... -
Ten simple rules for writing statistical book reviews
(PLOS, 2019-01-24)Statistical books can provide deep insights into statistics and software. There are, however, many resources available to the practitioner. Book reviews have the capacity to function as a critical mechanism for the learner ... -
A Test for Pre-Adapted Phenotypic Plasticity in the Invasive Tree Acer negundo L.
(PLoS ONEPLoS ONE, 2013-09-09)Phenotypic plasticity is a key mechanism associated with the spread of exotic plants and previous studies have found that invasive species are generally more plastic than co-occurring species. Comparatively, the evolution ...
