Quantifying Mid-Pregnancy Placental Metabolism In Guinea Pigs Fed A Lifelong Western Diet, Mary-Ellen E.T Empey
Quantifying Mid-Pregnancy Placental Metabolism In Guinea Pigs Fed A Lifelong Western Diet, Mary-Ellen E.T Empey
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Maternal consumption of a Western diet (WD) has been linked to alterations in fetoplacental metabolic programming and risk for the exposed fetus to develop obesity, cardiovascular disease, and type II diabetes mellitus. It may also cause oxidative damage to the placental mitochondria. This thesis investigated the metabolic effects of a WD on placentae using a guinea pig model of pregnancy and hyperpolarized 13C MRI for metabolic quantification. It was hypothesized that placental glycolytic metabolism would increase, and placental oxidative metabolism would decrease in WD-fed sows. Control diet- and WD-fed, pregnant sows underwent metabolic MRI at 33 days gestation and …
Evaluating The Implementation Of A Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Management Program Using The Consolidated Framework For Implementation Research: A Case Study, Stefan Paciocco
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a prevalent chronic disease that requires comprehensive approaches to manage. Interprofessional teams are effective at providing chronic disease management and care that meets the needs of patients. As part of an ongoing spread, an interprofessional primary care COPD management program was implemented at a family health team in Ontario. A qualitative case study was performed to determine the supporting or hindering factors to the implementation of the program. Data collected was deductively analyzed using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research. Eleven constructs were determined to meaningfully affect implementation. Cosmopolitanism, networks and communication, engaging, design …
