The proposed research will investigate two brain imaging measures that hold potential as tools for the diagnosis and assessment of traumatic brain injury (TBI), including mild TBI (mTBI)/concussion. One type of image provides information about structural damage to the brain’s anatomical connections, and the other about the functional connectivity of networks of brain regions that […]

Bovine colostrum is the milk produced by cows immediately after calving. It contains high levels of proteins that improve immune protection and may act to prevent colds. During intense training, athletes often have compromised immune function. This may be especially true in club-level rugby players who abruptly start high intensity training in the spring in […]

Deamination of cytosine (C) and 5-methylcytosine (5mC) lead to GC to AT point mutations, which represent the major fraction of spontaneous mutations in a variety of genomes. We propose that most GC to AT mutations arise from the initial oxidation of C and 5C by reactive oxygen species followed by deamination of the intrinsic exocyclic […]

Pain is a complex unpleasant experience that varies from a person to another. Learning, priors and expectations are known to have a substantial influence on subjective pain experience. For example, having expectations or being told that an event will be painful can be sufficient to shift a person’s pain experience into a more painful realm. […]

La transfusion de produits sanguins contaminés par des bactéries peut être fatale pour les patients la recevant. Les banques de sang utilisent des méthodes pour détecter les bactéries dans les produits sanguins avant de les envoyer aux hôpitaux. Cependant, ces méthodes ne détectent pas les produits contaminés par des biofilms. Les biofilms sont des communautés […]
