Patterns of Opioid Exposure in the Emergency Care System and Prolonged Opioid Use Among Opioid-Naïve Adults With Low Back Pain
(2022-08-02)The objectives of this thesis were to: 1) describe the characteristics of opioids delivered to opioid-naïve adults with low back pain as they transition through a Canadian emergency care system; 2) identify different ... -
PATTERNS OF RUBISCO CONCENTRATIONS IN GLACIERIZED AND NON-GLACIERIZED ENVIRONMENTS ACROSS JONES SOUND, NU
(2022-11-21)Tidewater glaciers can enhance delivery of nutrients to the surface ocean. The Canadian Arctic Archipelago (CAA) has a high density of tidewater glaciers, but their influence on the marine environment, particularly ... -
PAVLOVIAN CONDITIONED ODOUR MEMORY IN THE NRXN1+/- MOUSE MODEL OF AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER AND MODULATION ON DOPAMINE CIRCUITRY
(2023-08-28)Individuals with autism are impaired not only in social behaviors, but also in higher-order sensory processes. Neurexin-1, a presynaptic cell adhesion molecule is also commonly affected in autism. Here we asked whether ... -
Peaceful Abiding Soldiers: Incorporating Mind Training into the Canadian Forces
