The role of tissue Doppler imaging using transesophageal echocardiography in the non-invasive assessment of left ventricular filling pressures during cardiac surgery
(2012-03-12)
Background: Cardiac surgical patients often require invasive pulmonary artery catheters (PAC) to determine left ventricular filling pressures (LVFP) in order to guide fluid management. Tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) as derived ...
Viral Co-Morbidity as a Factor Effecting Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome in H1N1 Influenza Cases Requiring Intensive Care Treatment
(2012-03-12)
The 2009 H1N1 pandemic caused severe disease around the world. H1N1 caused disease in younger, healthier people than typically observed for seasonal influenza. Another difference between H1N1 and the seasonal variant is ...
Chromosome territory position of chromosome X and 11 is non-random and cell-type specific in mouse cells of B cell lineage
(2012-03-12)
The interphase nucleus of a cell is organized into non-random, cell-type specific
chromosome territolies (CTs). In lymphocytes, a gene-density correlated radial arrangement has
been identified, with gene-dense CTs located ...
Long-term follow-up of ACL reconstruction: Insight into the natural history of altered biomechanics of the knee joint
(2012-03-12)
The goal of ACL reconstruction is to restore stability to the knee joint and prevent the onset of osteoarthritis. Little is known of the long-term natural history of a knee joint that has undergone ACL reconstruction. Our ...

Population Outcomes in Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma: Provincial Experience and National Survey
(2012-03-12)
Introduction: Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is rare and carries a poor prognosis. A retrospective review of Manitoba data for patients diagnosed with PCNSL spanning 1998-2008 was undertaken along with a ...
Dynamic Novel Cardiac Imaging Parameters in Home Nocturnal Hemodialysis
(2012-03-12)
BACKGROUND: Most patients on dialysis have left ventricular hypertrophy (L VH) as seen on
cardiac imaging. Nocturnal home hemodialysis (NHD) may produce regression of L VH and
may also improve other cardiac and non-cardiac ...
Host-Viral Protein-Protein Interactions in Influenza virus Infections
(2012-03-12)
Influenza virus infection remains a worldwide problem today. Pathogenicity can be attributed in part to the changing protein structure of the virus, allowing it to evade the host immune system. For example, the hemagglutinin ...
