Introduction: Sleep quality is often thought to be a key determinant of cognitive performance, particularly in older adults who experience age-related changes in sleep architecture. However, the extent to which nightly variations in sleep quality impact next-day cognitive performance remains unclear-in part because it has only recently become practical to ...

Introduction: Exercise therapy is the most recommended treatment for chronic low back pain (LBP), with evidence supporting modest effects, likely due to the heterogeneity of patient presentations. Evidence suggests that matching individuals to the most appropriate exercise type could improve outc ...

Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)-reinforced concrete beams are increasingly used in infrastructure, yet their flexural behavior under fatigue and harsh environmental conditions remains insufficiently studied. This study investigates the fatigue response and structural behavior of 12 glass-FRP (GFRP)-reinforced concrete beams under four environmental regimes ...

Bilingual children regularly hear sentences that contain words from both languages, also known as code-switching. Investigating how bilinguals process code-switching is a crucial component in understanding bilingual language acquisition, because young bilinguals experience processing costs and reduced comprehension when encountering code-switched nouns. S ...

Objective: Focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) causes drug-resistant epilepsy requiring presurgical evaluation. Invasive electroencephalographic (EEG) studies demonstrate that sleep modulates epileptic activity, including interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs), fast oscillations (FOs) in the beta ( ...

Thermoregulatory processes are closely linked to sleep initiation and maintenance throughout the circadian cycle, and may contribute to the increased tendency to nap in older adults. This cross-sectional study examined whether habitual napping in healthy older individuals is associated with alter ...

Introduction: It is unknown whether progressive resistance training (PRT) improves cognitive function in adults with cerebral small vessel disease and mild cognitive impairment (i.e., subcortical vascular cognitive impairment [SVCI]). Methods: We conducted a 12-month randomized trial comparing P ...

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the few cancers that have an established dysplasia-carcinoma sequence that benefits from screening. Everyone over 50 years of age in Canada is eligible for CRC screening. About 20% of those people will undergo a biopsy for a pre-neoplastic polyp and, in many cases, multiple polyps. As such, these polyp biopsies make up th ...

Neural topic models (NTMs) based on variational autoencoders (VAEs) have emerged as a scalable and flexible alternative to classical probabilistic models for uncovering latent thematic structures in text corpora. However, most existing NTMs either overlook the geometric structure of word embeddings or rely on Euclidean priors that are poorly aligned with ...
