Dietary counselling plus fish oil supplementation in the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder: A randomized wait-list controlled pilot trial

Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) has a large impact on the wellbeing of Canadians. Some people find the available treatments helpful, but some do not. There is a need for new treatment approaches. This project will provide 6 nutritional counselling sessions along with fish oil supplementation to 40 adult women with moderate to severe GAD. The study will be 12 weeks long. We will ask the participants if the program was acceptable. We will also measure changes in anxiety symptoms and eating habits. The findings of this study will provide the industry partner with information about the role of nutrition in the treatment of anxiety disorders. This information will also be used to design additional studies in this area.

Understanding the fate of tin in cyanide-free bronze electrodeposition baths

The Loony is a symbol, recognized by all Canadians. While it looks golden, the Royal Canadian Mint is producing its yellow color with an alloy coating on the coin surface. Yellow bronze is a hard and esthetically pleasing material that can be used as a coating for such coins. Internationally, yellow bronze coatings are predominantly produced from cyanide-based electroplating baths. This comes with significant risks to workers and the environment, regulatory restrictions and costs for waste treatment. The Royal Canadian Mint is currently developing a yellow bronze plating bath that is free of cyanide, to be used for yellow metal coatings on Canadian and international circulation coins. This project serves to understanding better how tin binds to other chemicals in these solutions and how to make tin more available for electrodeposition. In doing so, it contributes to the development of cheaper and environmentally friendly coin production technology.

Integrating Reservoir System Information for Cyclic Solvent Injection Process to Support Post-CHOPS Field Development

Heavy oil (high viscosity oil) is trapped underground. Cold heavy oil production with sand (CHOPS) is an enabling technology to extract heavy oil through wormholes forming around wellbore. There are thousands of CHOPS wells in Saskatchewan and Alberta with low primary oil recovery. Cyclic solvent injection (CSI) enhanced oil recovery process stands out as one of the most promising post-CHOPS methods. As the post CHOPS technology with cyclic solvent injection has been advanced into field operation stage, it is essential to focus on understanding and implementing the information embedded in field data of well performance using CSI. This project could identify the highly productive and less productive CSI wells and provide an optimal operation strategy to improve the field post-CHOPS CSI process.

Development and validation of SafeSleep, a smart, accessible, and convenient textile-based technology for remote monitoring of sleep apnea in high-risk population at home

Sleep apnea, which affects 10% of adults, is a disorder that causes breathing to repeatedly stop during sleep, leading to reduced blood oxygen and fragmented sleep. It increases the risk of HF by four times, of hypertension or stroke by three times, and doubles the risk of car accidents. Health care utilization is doubled in sleep apnea patients, and untreated sleep apnea doubles HF mortality and triples COPD mortality. Despite the grave implications of this disorder, 85-90% of individuals with sleep apnea are not aware that they have it and are undiagnosed. One reason for the high rate of underdiagnosed sleep apnea is the reference sleep test requires overnight in-laboratory screening with attachments of >20 sensors on the body. Therefore, it is inconvenient, costly, with long waiting list. Current portable home sleep monitoring devices are either expensive, or inconvenient. The goal of this research is to develop a textile-based sleep screening wearable, called SafeSleep, in the form of a shirt.

Améliorer l’accès aux médicaments en maladies orphelines dans un contexte canadien: s’inspirer des meilleures pratiques à l’internationale

Chaque maladie orpheline n’affecte qu’un nombre restreint de personnes, soit environ 1 sur 100 000 selon l’Agence canadienne des médicaments et des technologies de la santé. On estime toutefois qu’entre 1 et 3 millions de citoyens canadiens en sont atteints. Ces derniers font face à divers enjeux d’accessibilité aux traitements pour leur maladie (délais, peu d’options médicamenteuses, négociations au cas par cas, etc). Le contexte canadien est présentement favorable à une prise de décision concertée au sujet d’une stratégie nationale pour les maladies orphelines. Ce projet vise à identifier les meilleures pratiques d’évaluation des technologies en santé et de remboursement, employées ailleurs dans le monde, dont le Canada peut s’inspirer afin d’amélioration l’accès aux traitements. L’organisme partenaire pourra bénéficier d’une meilleure compréhension de pratiques innovantes, et de leur impact potentiel au niveau de l’accès. Ils pourront également poser un regard plus éclairé sur les décisions de remboursement et l’accès prises par ces autres juridictions.

Application of 3D Pose Similarity in Molecular Docking on Ensemble of Crystal-Structures for Accurate Prediction of Activity

This project aims to develop a method for accurately assessing the enzymatic activity of large libraries of compounds. To do this we will employ computational modeling of small molecules in an ensemble of protein crystal structures. The results of this work will lead to a better understanding of the relationship between docked poses and crystal poses, and of the relationship between docked poses and pharmacological activity. The results of this work will help Variational AI understand how to effectively leverage docked poses to more accurately predict and optimize pharmacological activity, facilitating Variational AI’s drug discovery efforts.

A Prospective Model for Predicting Driver Workload, and Safety Related Distraction, using Heterogeneous Data and Machine Learning

There is an increasing amount of potentially distracting information being made available to drivers. However, applications (e.g., for navigation, work, entertainment, etc.) need to be aware of driver workload so that they don’t create unsafe distraction. This work is important because distracted driving is a major risk factor for road accidents and the threat of distraction is slowing down the implementation of entertainment and productivity applications in vehicles. The goal of this research will be to develop a system that can predict driver workload. This type of prediction is needed so that future AI systems can schedule the availability of technology interactions (e.g., reading out text messages) so that they do not distract the driver at a dangerous time. This research will differ from previous research in that it will focus on predicting future, rather than current workload, to support planning of travel paths and scheduled activities.

Une nouvelle plateforme de nanothérapie contre le cancer de la prostate basée sur la photo-ablation, à l’aide d’imagerie et de surveillance

Prostate Cancer has become the most diagnosed cancer in men in Canada. Nanoparticles have a myriad of unique properties, the most striking is their incredible ability to absorb light and convert this energy into intense heat. Therefore, the placement of particles to a tumor, dissipating extreme near-field energy, would cause complete ablation. In realizing this goal, we have selected multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as they afford us: 1. extreme heat generating properties, 2. easily functionalized with many different molecules, and 3. safe
without systemic toxic effects. In this project, interns will be responsible for applying the nanotherapeutics platform to a prostate cancer animal model. Incorporated into the project will be a novel imaging modality, that will allow for the real-time visualization of the photo-ablative process. With this, Guzzo Nano Research will be responsible for introducing of nanoparticles into clinical medicine and offer a unique opportunity to entertain a new class of cancer agent to both the patients and physicians.
