Access to Medical Imaging in Nordic and Isolated Communities: Mixed-Methods Evaluation of Quality and Cultural Safety of Services in Quebec – Year two

The access to medical imaging is still limited for Indigenous and non-Indigenous population in remote communities. Teleradiology is now the standard of practice due to the small population size and the large geographical area to cover. The process of teleradiology is quite complex as it requires a very good coordination between the local and remote […]

MBSE for Modeling, Evaluation, and Optimization of Modular Robotic Systems: Case Study on AIS

Since 1960, System engineering has been used as an approach for multidisciplinary and concurrent design of complex systems. It relies on a system-centered thinking to solve problems and different design process models have been used for system engineering such as V-model. Model-based System engineering (MBSE) was developed to replace documents with models. AIS is developing […]

Supporting adolescent athletes through a team building and mental health program

Canadian adolescent athletes suffer many mental health challenges such as hyper competitiveness and a culture of silence which often precludes individuals from discussing mental health issues. These challenges have been compounded by the COVID-19 pandemic. Team Unbreakable (the partner organization) have run a highly successful physical activity and mental health program which is implemented through […]

Advanced Analytical Techniques integrated with Machine Learning for Proactive Raw material Characterization for Vaccine Production – Year two

Over the last several decades, challenges in the development, production, supply, and use of vaccines have been raised and by consequence had led to increasing concern around the world. As a result, an increase in research and innovation in the vaccine industry is needed. In this sense, one of the most critical factors in the […]

3D spine imaging using tracked ultrasound and artificial intelligence

Obtaining accurate images of the spine is important for different medical purposes. For example, to measure how deformed the spine is in patients with scoliosis and select the most suitable treatment. Images can also be used to guide a clinician while inserting a needle to reach a exact location in the spine to administer anesthesia. […]

The Application of Single Domain Antibodies in Biasing GPCR Signal Pathways – A Case Study with the Adenosine A2A Receptor

Single domain antibodies (sdAbs) represent a versatile class of heavy chain antibodies lacking a paired light chain and encoded by VHH germline genes typically expressed in camelids. KisoJi Biotech has developed a transgenic mouse line in which each mouse expresses multiple camelid VHH genes capable of specifically binding any antigen of interest. The small molecular […]

The Narreme Engine: A Tool for Narrative Analysis and Construction

In my PhD dissertation, I proposed a renewed theory of the “narreme” – the minimum basic unit of narrative structure, a concept which originated in the 1960s but which has been largely neglected since then. I suggested that a Narreme Theoretic approach could be tremendously useful not only for the purposes of narrative analysis, but […]

Understanding the neural underpinnings of a novel PTSD therapy: Goal Management Therapy

A wide range of cognitive faculties are commonly compromised in numerous trauma-exposed populations, leading to impaired functioning, and reduced treatment response rates. There is a dire need for novel therapies that can directly target such deficits in top-down cognitive control. Goal management training (GMT) is one such cognitive remediation therapy found to be effective for […]
