(2013)No abstract available. -
A case study of nurse practitioner role implementation in primary care: what happens when new roles are introduced?
(2013)Background: At the time of this study (2009) the role of the nurse practitioner was new to the province of British Columbia. The provincial government gave the responsibility for implementing the role to health authorities. ... -
Horizontal Semicircular Canal Occlusion in a Patient with Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo
(2008-06)The article presents a case study of a 39 year old man who presented to physicians with vertigo and nausea. A discussion of diagnostic testing which was conducted on the patient and resulted in him receiving a diagnosis ... -

Exercise hemodynamic and neurohormone responses as sensitive biomarkers for diltiazem in rats
(2006-05)Purpose. To investigate the potential of exercise hemodyanamic and neurohormone variables as sensitive biomarkers for pre-clinical evaluation of diltiazem (DTZ). Methods. Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided ... -
Development and validation of a sensitive and specific HPLC assay of cladribine for pharmacokinetics studies in rats
(2007)PURPOSE: To develop and validate a sensitive and specific HPLC assay for cladribine (CdA) in plasma for pharmacokinetic studies in rats. METHODS: CdA and the internal standard AZT were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich Chem. ... -
Incidence of Deep Vein Thrombosis in Hospitalized Chinese Medical Patients and the Impact of DVT Prophylaxis
(2011)Objective. To evaluate the incidence of deep vein thrombosis in hospitalized Chinese medical patients and the impact of DVT prophylaxis. Methods. All cases of confirmed proximal DVT from 1 January 2005 to 31 December ... -
Universal intermittent properties of particle trajectories in highly turbulent flows
(2008-06)We present a collection of eight data sets from state-of-the-art experiments and numerical simulations on turbulent velocity statistics along particle trajectories obtained in different flows with Reynolds numbers in ... -
Development and validation of the Chinese version of the Reintegration to Normal Living Index for use with stroke patients
(2011-02)OBJECTIVE: To develop and validate a Chinese version of the Reintegration to Normal Living Index. DESIGN: Descriptive case-series. SUBJECTS: Seventy-five individuals with chronic stroke and 55 age-matched healthy subjects. ... -
Embryonic lethality in mice lacking the nuclear factor of activated T cells 5 protein due to impaired cardiac development and function
(2011)Nuclear factor of activated T cells 5 protein (NFAT5) is thought to be important for cellular adaptation to osmotic stress by regulating the transcription of genes responsible for the synthesis or transport of organic ... -
A Method for Structure-Activity Analysis of Quorum-Sensing Signaling Peptides from Naturally Transformable Streptococci
(2009-12)Many species of streptococci secrete and use a competence-stimulating peptide (CSP) to initiate quorum sensing for induction of genetic competence, bacteriocin production, and other activities. These signaling molecules ... -
Lipophilic sugar nucleotide synthesis by structure-based design of nucleotidylyltransferase substrates
(2008-02)Structure-based design of alkyl sugar-1-phosphates provides an efficient nucleotidylyltransferase-catalyzed synthesis of a series of new lipophilic sugar nucleotides possessing long or branched alkyl chains, thereby ... -
Structure-activity analysis of quorum-sensing signaling peptides from Streptococcus mutans
(2007-02)Streptococcus mutans secretes and utilizes a 21-amino-acid signaling peptide pheromone to initiate quorum sensing for genetic competence, biofilm formation, stress responses, and bacteriocin production. In this study, we ... -
Antimicrobial Activities of Jadomycin B and Structurally Related Analogues
(2009-03)Natural products are leads for new antibiotics as a result of their structural complexity and diversity. We have isolated a series of structurally related polyketide-derived natural products from Streptomyces venezuelae ... -
