Effect of Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) on the predictability of orthodontic treatment with clear aligners.

Low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) when used in conjunction with clear aligner orthodontic treatment has been shown in clinical studies literature to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement, reduce orthodontically induced tooth root resorption, and shorten the overall duration of orthodontic treatment. In-market use of LIPUS technology as an adjunct the clear...

Automated Electrographic Analysis of Cerebral Organoids for Characterization of Pharmacological Intervention

Through our previous work, we’ve been able to take blood samples from patients with genetic epilepsy and make 3D miniature brains (organoids) from their own cells. These organoids then retain that patient’s genetic predisposition to epilepsy, which we can then study in a lab to find the best drug that...

Investigation of eDNA air sampling as a tool for bat conservation and management: implications for mine reclamation and closure planning

A new method to determine whether wildlife are present in certain habitats has been developed that involves collecting environmental samples (water, soil, air) and testing them in a laboratory for the presence of cells and tissue that have been shed by wildlife into their environment. These cells and tissue can...

Re-Envisioning the Landscape: Photography and Îyârhe Nakoda Resurgence

Between 1888 and 1958, several hundred government surveyors worked across the mountainous regions of what is now western Canada to create topographic maps. To do so, they used a made-in-Canada technique employing photography and a transit. Left in the wake of their map-making are more than 120,000 photographic negatives. Today...

Development of Spatial Normalization Methods for Ventilation-Perfusion Scintigraphic Images

Ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) scintigraphy has a major role to play in the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism (PE). V/Q scintigraphy rather helps infer the presence of PE based on compromised perfusion of the occluded segmental and sub-segmental pulmonary arteries. Therefore, expert knowledge of the bronchopulmonary segmental anatomy on the various 2D planar...
