Background: Health behaviors such as physical inactivity, unhealthy eating, smoking tobacco, and alcohol use are each leading risk factors for non-communicable chronic disease. Better understanding which behaviors tend to co-occur (i.e., cluster together) and co-vary (i.e., are correlated) may pr ...

The local fluid dynamics experienced by circulating microbubbles vary across different anatomical sites, which can influence ultrasound-mediated therapeutic delivery efficacy. This study aimed to elucidate the effect of fluid flow rate in combination with repeated short-pulse ultrasound on microbubble-mediated endothelial cell permeabilization. Here, a se ...

Lignocellulosic biomass represents an abundant, renewable resource that can be used to produce biofuels, low-cost livestock feed, and high-value chemicals. The potential of this bioresource has led to intensive research efforts to develop cost-effective methods to break down lignocellulose. The efficiency with which the anaerobic fungi (phylum Neocallimas ...

We examined cognitive domains and brain regions associated with olfactory performance in cognitively unimpaired older adults (CU-OAs) and individuals with or at risk for Alzheimer's Disease (AD). We compared CU-OAs (N = 55), individuals with subjective cognitive decline (SCD, N = 55), mild cognitive impairment (MCI, N = 101), and AD (N = 45) on measur ...

Both common pain and anxiety problems are widespread, debilitating and often begin in childhood-adolescence. Twin studies indicate that this co-occurrence is likely due to shared elements of risk, rather than reciprocal causation. A joint genome-wide investigation and pathway/network-based analys ...

Objectives: The objectives of the study were to determine, among a population-based sample of Canadian adults, if risk factors for cardiovascular disease (alone and in combination) were associated with hearing loss. Cross-sectional and longitudinal associations (the latter with about 3 years of follow-up) were examined. Risk factors considered included di ...
