Le projet de recherche vise à développer un algorithme avancé de détection des mouvements des mains et des doigts en 3D en utilisant le Leap Motion Controller, l’objectif est de créer une expérience utilisateur améliorée qui remplace l’utilisation traditionnelle des périphériques comme la souris et le clavier par des gestes de la main. Cet algorithme […]

NYGH has opened a new mental health and addiction-focused area in its emergency department. Part of the development of this new area includes integrating staff from community-based organizations to better connect patients with outpatient treatment services as well as other health and social supports they may need. The practicum will involve developing an understanding of […]

The Greater Fredericton Social Innovation (GFSI) team and its partners have developed an open-access data repository called the Community Prosperity Hub, launched in 2023. This Hub is still in development but to-date it serves as a powerful tool for nonprofits in the Greater Fredericton area by making socioeconomic data accessible through user-friendly visualizations, summaries, and […]

More than 25 million Africans and 800,000 Canadians suffer from chronic wounds. Wound infections are a leading cause of hospitalization and disability in immunocompromised people and vulnerable populations. This is compounded by the indiscriminate use of antibiotics, leading to antimicrobial resistance and failure of treatments. Therefore, antibiotic alternatives are needed. Inspired by traditional wisdom, phytotherapy […]

Patients referred for thyroid nodule (TN) assessment will be invited to participate in the study. Patients will undergo screening using infrared thermography (IT) and ultrasound (US) with needle insertion. Neck IT thermograms will be captured using the FLIR TS865 for all patients’ frontal and lateral norms. With the IT camera software, the regions of interest […]

Parkinson’s disease is commonly described as a brain disorder, but recent research suggests that early events outside the brain (periphery) may influence Parkinson’s disease neuropathology. The blood-brain barrier is a structure that protects the vulnerable brain tissue from blood-borne toxins and circulating immune cells, but barrier function appears compromised in PD. A consequence, there may […]

Myofascial pain syndrome can lead to chronic pain. With fatigue or trauma, muscle spindle reflexes activate spinal motoneurones causing them to fire constantly leading to spasm. These reflex signals can also be transmitted to the brain as well. It could be hypothesized that if massage therapy (roller massager included) could regulate cortical and spinal motoneurone […]

This study aims to assess the improvement in muscle strength in patients with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) after undergoing hip arthroscopy. FAI can cause severe hip pain and functional limitations, potentially leading to early osteoarthritis. While arthroscopic treatment often have good results, dissatisfaction rates can be as high as 30%. This research investigates the potential benefits […]

Docetaxel is a key chemotherapeutic agent for treating locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer, but its effectiveness is often hindered by metabolic inactivation from drug-metabolizing enzymes, leading to multidrug resistance (MDR). This study aims to investigate the anti-metastatic effects of combining kaempferol, a flavonoid known for its anticancer properties, with docetaxel in both 2D and […]

This project will utilise an integrated multi-omics approach for glycosylation-based breast cancer subtype discovery. Glycosylation is the process whereby carbohydrate structures are conjugated to cellular proteins and lipids, and in doing so, determines their functionality. Glycosylation is dysregulated in cancer and incorporating the glycome in cancer research has led to deeper mechanistic insight. Combining glycomic […]

Le projet de recherche Ergocycle S2M vise à créer une version embarquée de l’Ergocycle S2M, un dispositif destiné à la rééducation des personnes à mobilité réduite. Ce système inclut un vélo à bras instrumenté et utilise la stimulation électrique fonctionnelle, qui envoie des impulsions électriques pour activer les muscles paralysés ou faibles, facilitant ainsi le […]

L’objectif de cette recherche est de développer un modèle capable d’analyser automatiquement les vidéos d’angiographies coronaires pour générer un rapport textuel contenant la gravité des sténoses ainsi que la fonction du ventricule gauche et du ventricule droit (VG / VD). Ce modèle repose sur l’intégration d’un encodeur vidéo pour extraire des caractéristiques spatio-temporelles, un tokenizer […]
