Measures of vascular reactivity: prognostic crystal ball or Pandora's box?

Christopher T. Minson, Daniel J. Green
2008 Journal of applied physiology  
Although the goal to develop a simple, noninvasive test of vascular reactivity is laudable, much work remains to bring a "crystal ball" into clinical practice that will provide real prognostic value in  ...

Measuring Conflict in a Multi-Source Environment as a Normal Measure [article]

Pan Wei, John E. Ball, Derek T. Anderson, Archit Harsh, Christopher Archibald
2018 arXiv   pre-print
In a multi-source environment, each source has its own credibility. If there is no external knowledge about credibility then we can use the information provided by the sources to assess their credibility. In this paper, we propose a way to measure conflict in a multi-source environment as a normal measure. We examine our algorithm using three simulated examples of increasing conflict and one experimental example. The results demonstrate that the proposed measure can represent conflict in a

2014 Journal of Substance Abuse Treatment  
Few studies have examined exercise as a substance use disorder treatment. This pilot study investigated the feasibility and acceptability of an exercise intervention comprising the Wii Fit Plus ™ and of a time-and-attention sedentary control comprising Wii ™ videogames. We also explored their impact on physical activity levels, substance use, and psychological wellness. Twenty-nine methadone-maintained patients enrolled in an 8-week trial were randomly assigned to either Active Game Play (Wii

Active Game Play participants reported greater physical activity outside the intervention than Sedentary Game Play participants despite no such differences at baseline. Substance use decreased and stress and optimism improved in both conditions. Active Game Play is a feasible and acceptable exercise intervention, and Sedentary Game Play is a promising timeand-attention control. Further investigations of these interventions are warranted.

Novel Technique of Sampling the Urinary Bladder for Urothelial Carcinoma Specimens

Kien T. Mai, Christopher G. Ball, Joanne Swift, Trevor A. Flood, Eric C. Belanger
2015 International Journal of Surgical Pathology  
Results Conclusions Urinary bladder (UB) sampling in radical cystectomy specimens usually involves taking three or more fullthickness strips of UB, oriented either randomly or in sagittal planes and including areas of interest. Pathological diagnostic information required for adequate clinical follow-up is often adequate; however, pathological assessment of the anatomical relationship of the urothelial carcinoma (UC) with the remaining UB is challenging. A new technique to map and sample the
