Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears can be a source of significant morbidity, with the potential for career-altering implications for athletes who sustain them. Specific knee biomechanics during a drop vertical jump have been shown to be associated with an increased risk for ACL injury in collegiate varsity athletes. Presently, the evolutio ...

The opportunistic human pathogen Candida albicans is an important cause of nosocomial infections, in large part because of its propensity to form biofilms on indwelling medical devices such as catheters. The formation of these biofilms is controlled by a complex transcriptional network and involves over a thousand genes, many of which are uncharacterized. ...

Background: This RCT aimed to test the impact of an educational intervention, supported by a Personalized Oral Health Instruction Form (POIF), on oral health indices in institutionalized older adults. Methods: Older adults aged 65 years and above living in a long-term care facility were recruited. Baseline oral health indices were recorded for all partic ...

Microplastics (MPs) have become major contaminants in freshwater ecosystems. While numerous studies have characterized MPs in reservoirs, a comprehensive synthesis focusing on in-reservoir variations and dam-related influences is still lacking. This study investigates the spatial distribution of MPs in reservoir water and sediment based on data synthesize ...

Understanding the response to enzyme supplementation on body composition and nutrient balance creates the potential to increase nutrient utilization efficiency and, consequently, maximize growth performance in growing pigs. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of fungal lysozyme supplementatio ...

Nonreciprocity is most commonly associated with a large difference in the transmitted energy when the locations of the source and receiver are interchanged. This energy bias is accompanied by a difference in the transmitted phase. This work highlights the role of this phase bias in breaking reciprocity in the steady-state vibration transmission characteri ...

Many parents have concerns about raising their children with multiple languages. However, there is a paucity of previous research regarding parental concerns about multilingual child-rearing, particularly in multilingual societies. We address this gap with a corpus-assisted discourse study of parental concerns regarding multilingual child-rearing in Quebe ...

The self-assembly of metal halide perovskite nanocrystals into micrometer-sized supercrystals with a high structural order as influenced by the surface chemistry and particle morphology of the starting building blocks is of interest for a broad spectrum of applications. In this work, we investigated the effects of Mn2+-doping CsPbBr3 perovskite nanocrysta ...

Short-term memory (STM) temporarily stores sensory information, critical for synaptic plasticity, memory, and learning, and is regulated by the glutamate-gated NMDA receptor. While the frontal and parieto-occipital cortices have been implicated in STM, the electrochemical dynamics of the right he ...

Drinking water treatability is defined by multiple parameters that are strongly impacted by climatic and anthropogenic drivers. Working in a shallow reservoir in the Canadian Prairies, generalized additive models (GAMs) were applied to a 33-year dataset to identify drivers of interannual variability in multiple indicators of drinking water treatability. I ...
