Older driver estimates of driving exposure compared to in-vehicle data in the Candrive II study
(Taylor and Francis, 2015-01)
OBJECTIVE: Most studies on older adults' driving practices have relied on self-reported information. With technological advances it is now possible to objectively measure the everyday driving of older adults in their own ...
Collagen morphology and texture analysis: from statistics to classification
(Nature, 2013-07-12)
In this study we present an image analysis methodology capable of quantifying morphological changes in tissue collagen fibril organization caused by pathological conditions. Texture analysis based on first-order statistics ...
Geographic and facility-level variation in the use of peritoneal dialysis in Canada: a cohort study
(CMA, 2014)
Background Peritoneal dialysis is associated with similar survival and similar improvement in quality of life and is less costly compared with in-centre hemodialysis. We examined facility and geographic variation in the ...
The Manitoba IBD Cohort Study: A population-based study of the prevalence of lifetime and twelve-month anxiety and mood disorders
(American Journal Gastroenterology, 2008)
BACKGROUND AND AIMS:
Given the impact of anxiety and mood disorders on health, it is important to consider these disorders in persons with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We assessed the prevalence of anxiety and mood ...

(Gut, 2012-04)
OBJECTIVE:
To determine the prevalence of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) use over time in a population-based cohort of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
METHODS:

SLC22A23 is an orphan gene in the SLC22 family of organic membrane transporters, and its single-nucleotide polymorphism rs17309827-T was recently nominally associated with intestinal inflammation in ...
The Manitoba IBD Index: Evidence for a New and Simple Indicator of IBD Activity
(American Journal Gastroenterology, 2009-07)
OBJECTIVES:
A single-item indicator of disease activity over an extended period of time, the Manitoba Inflammatory Bowel Disease Index (MIBDI), is introduced and compared against several standard measures for assessing ...
Predicting complicated Crohn’s disease and surgery: phenotypes, genetics, serology and psychological characteristics of a population based cohort
(Alimentary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, 2012-08)
BACKGROUND:
Predictors of complicated Crohn's disease (CD), defined as stricturing or penetrating behaviour, and surgery have largely been derived from referral centre populations.
AIM:
To investigate whether serological ...
A supplementary circuit rule-set for the neuronal wiring
(Frontiers, 2013-05-01)
Limitations of known anatomical circuit rules necessitate the identification of
supplementary rules. This is essential for explaining how associative sensory stimuli induce nervous system changes that generate internal ...
Advances in the indirect, descriptive, and experimental approaches to the functional analysis of problem behavior
(Psicothema, 2014)
BACKGROUND:
Experimental functional analysis is an assessment methodology to identify the environmental factors that maintain problem behavior in individuals with developmental disabilities and in other populations. ...
