Nonlinear Identities for Bernoulli and Euler Polynomials
(2018)It is shown that a certain nonlinear expression for Bernoulli polynomials, related to higher-order convolutions, can be evaluated as a product of simple linear polynomials with integer coefficients. The proof involves ... -
Derivatives and Special Values of Higher-Order Tornheim Zeta Functions
(2018)We study analytic properties of the higher-order Tornheim zeta function, defined by a certain $n$-fold series ($n\geq 2$) in $n+1$ complex variables. In particular, we consider the function $\omega_{n+1}(s)$, obtained by ... -
Synthesis of Prodigiosene-Estrogen Conjugates: optimization of protecting group strategies and anticancer properties
(Canadian Journal of Chemistry, 2015)The tripyrrolic prodigiosene skeleton was conjugated to several estrogen ligands. The conjugation was achieved via an ester linker that proved to be unusually sensitive to hydrolysis during synthesis. This work describes ... -
The Acceptability of Deception in Pediatric Research
(Wolters Kluwer, 2015)Objective: Deception has been used to investigate the role of developmental and behavioral factors in child health; however, its acceptability for use in pediatric research has received little empirical attention. This ... -
Sex differences in experimental pain among healthy children: A systematic review and meta-analysis
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2014)Sex differences in response to experimental pain are commonly reported in systematic reviews in the adult literature. The objective of the present research was to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of sex ... -
Impact of threat level, task instruction, and individual characteristics on cold pressor pain and fear among children and their parents
(John Wiley & Sons, 2015)The cold pressor task (CPT) is increasingly used to induce experimental pain in children, but the specific methodology of the CPT is quite variable across pediatric studies. This study examined how subtle variations in CPT ... -
The epidemiology of chronic pain in children and adolescents revisited: A systematic review
(Wolters Kluwer, 2011)Chronic and recurrent pain not associated with a disease are very common in childhood and adolescence, but studies of pain prevalence have yielded inconsistent findings. This systematic review examined studies of chronic ... -
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Pediatric Chronic Pain: The Problem, Research, and Practice
(Springer, 2012)The purpose of this paper is to outline the rationale and use of cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) for the treatment of pediatric chronic pain. The paper begins by demonstrating the scope and impact of the problem of ... -
“Pain is not over when the needle ends”: A review and preliminary model of acute pain memory development in childhood
(Future Medicine Ltd, 2012)Over the past several decades, the field of pediatric pain has made impressive advances in our understanding of the pain experience of the developing child, as well as the devastating impact of inadequately managed pain ... -
Remembering the Pain of Childhood: Applying a Developmental Perspective to the Study of Pain Memories

Dyadic analysis of child and parent trait and state pain catastrophizing in the process of children's pain communication
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2016)Explored separately, child and parent catastrophic thoughts about child pain show robust negative relations with child pain. The objective of this study was to conduct a dyadic analysis to elucidate intra- and inter-personal ... -
Regioselective Substituent Effects upon the Synthesis of Dipyrrins from 2-Formyl Pyrroles
(Canadian Journal of Chemistry, 2018)The synthesis of symmetric α-free meso-H-dipyrrin hydrobromides from 5-H-2-formyl pyrroles was investigated. The self-condensation produces regioisomeric dipyrrins through the adoption of two mechanistic pathways. The key ... -
Synthesis of symmetric meso-H dipyrrin hydrobromides from 2-formyl pyrroles
(Synlett, 2014)The reaction of 2-formyl pyrroles in acidic methanol gives the corresponding symmetric, meso-H 4,6-dipyrrin hydrobromides. This convenient strategy involves initial deformylation under the acidic conditions, followed by ...
