The last decade, notably the past two years, have seen significant advancements in virtual reality (VR) technology, especially within the development of 3D and 360° virtual environments. Smart Phone technology now allows ... -
What's Real Is Immaterial: What Are We Doing With New Materialism?
(University of Ottawa, 2020)New materialism is emerging as one of the most significant developments in healthcare research in recent years, offering radical new ways to rethink our critical relationship with forms, matter, objects and things. As with ... -
New Avenue for the Geriatric Depression Scale: Rasch Transformation Enhances Reliability of Assessment
(Elsevier, 2019)Background Depression is a common problem in older adults. The 15-item Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15) is a widely used psychometric tool for measuring depression in the elderly, but its psychometric properties have ... -
Effect of Selective Head-neck Cooling on Signs and Symptoms of Sport Originated Brain Injury in Amateur Sports: A Pilot Study
(Biomedical Research Network+, 2019)Background: During contact sports, body temperature can elevate to between 38.9°C and 40.0°C at the peak of activity, and the temperature increase may be more long-lasting in hot environments. Mild traumatic brain injury ... -
Reliability of a Two-probe Ultrasound Imaging Procedure to Measure Strain in the Achilles Tendon
(BioMed Central, 2019)Background: Alteration in the strain properties of the Achilles tendon may lead to adaptations such as pathological stiffening. Stiff tendons have reduced adaptive ability, which may increase the risk for developing ... -
Values Exchange: Using Online Technology to Raise Awareness of Values and Ethics in Radiography Education
(John Wiley & Sons, 2018)Introduction: Ethics and values are increasingly significant aspects of patientcentred healthcare. While it is widely agreed that ethics and values are essential for healthcare delivery, there is also an acknowledgement ... -
The Effect of Cerebellar Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation on Motor Learning: A Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials
(Frontiers Media, 2019)Background: Cerebellar transcranial direct current stimulation (ctDCS) appears to modulate motor performance in both adaptation and motor skill tasks; however, whether the gains are long-lasting is unclear. Objectives: ... -

Association of Plasma C-reactive Protein With Ischemic Stroke: A Mendelian Randomization Study
(John Wiley & Sons, 2019)BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) is associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke (IS). However, the causality of this association is uncertain. We aim to investigate whether genetically ... -
Transport-mediated Oxaliplatin Resistance Associated With Endogenous Overexpression of MRP2 in Caco-2 and PANC-1 Cells
(MDPI AG, 2019)Our recent publications showed that multidrug resistance protein 2 (MRP2, encoded by the ABCC2 gene) conferred oxaliplatin resistance in human liver cancer HepG2 cells. However, the contribution of MRP2 to oxaliplatin ... -
Interprofessional Practice: Beyond Competence
(Springer Verlag, 2019)Interprofessional practice is commonly discussed in the literature in terms of competencies. In this study we move away from the theoretical notions of criteria, concepts and guidelines to adopt an ontological approach ... -
Sled-pull Load-velocity Profiling and Implications for Sprint Training Prescription in Young Male Athletes
(MDPI, 2019)The purpose of this study was to examine the usefulness of individual load-velocity profiles and the between-athlete variation using the decrement in maximal velocity (Vdec) approach to prescribe training loads in resisted ... -
Identification of MRP2 As a Targetable Factor Limiting Oxaliplatin Accumulation and Response in Gastrointestinal Cancer
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019)Oxaliplatin is important for the clinical treatment of colorectal cancer and other gastrointestinal malignancies, but tumour resistance is limiting. Several oxaliplatin transporters were previously identified but their ... -
