Reports and Findings

Research

A systematic review of prevention interventions to reduce prenatal alcohol exposure and fetal alcohol spectrum disorder in indigenous communities

There is little evidence that previous interventions aiming to reduce the risk of prenatal alcohol exposure or FASD in Indigenous populations have been effective

Research

The role of coping in the association between subclinical psychotic experiences and functioning: A within study replication in two independent adolescent samples

The within study replication consistently found that coping style mediates subclinical psychotic experiences and psychosocial functioning

Research

New therapeutic opportunities from dissecting the pre-B leukemia bone marrow microenvironment

We provide evidence that targeting leukemia-induced bone loss is a therapeutic strategy for pre-B ALL

Research

Interleukin-1 is associated with inflammation and structural lung disease in young children with cystic fibrosis

Our data associates IL-1α with early structural lung damage in CF and suggests this pathway as a novel anti-inflammatory target

Research

Transplacental immune modulation with a bacterial-derived agent protects against allergic airway inflammation

These data provide proof of concept supporting the rationale for developing transplacental immune reprogramming approaches for primary disease prevention

Research

Moraxella catarrhalis Restriction-Modification Systems Are Associated with Phylogenetic Lineage and Disease

We observed an association between Type III DNA methyltransferase presence and Otitis Media-associated middle ear isolates

Research

Basophil counts in PBMC populations during childhood acute wheeze/asthma are associated with future exacerbations

Our findings suggest that the proportion of degranulated basophils can also be associated with recurrent exacerbations

Research

Evolving Trends of Gastrostomy Insertion Within a Pediatric Population

New gastrostomy insertion among children who require long-term enteral feeding support increased over the study period

Research

Measuring the impact of genetic knowledge on intentions and attitudes of the community towards expanded preconception carrier screening

Having good genetic knowledge may not be enough to understand core concepts of preconception carrier screening
