Current diagnostic methods, however, lack precision in differentiating ... -
A Borrelia burgdorferi mini-vls system that undergoes antigenic switching in mice: investigation of the role of plasmid topology and the long inverted repeat
(Wilery, Cumming School of Medicine, Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, Microbiology, Immunology & Infectious Diseases, University of Calgary, https://authorservices.wiley.com/author-resources/Journal-Authors/licensing/self-archiving.html, Post-print, 2018-09)Borrelia burgdorferi evades the host immune system by switching the surface antigen. VlsE, in a process known as antigenic variation. The DNA mechanisms and genetic elements present on the vls locus that participate in the ... -
Analysis of recombinational switching at the antigenic variation locus of the Lyme spirochete using a novel PacBio sequencing pipeline
(Wiley, Cumming School of Medicine, Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, Microbiology, Immunology & Infectious Diseases, University of Calgary, https://authorservices.wiley.com/author-resources/Journal-Authors/licensing/self-archiving.html, Post-print, 2018-01)The Lyme disease spirochete evades the host immune system by combinatorial variation of VlsE, a surface antigen. Antigenic variation occurs via segmental gene conversion from contiguous silent cassettes into the vlsE locus. ... -
Intergenerational transmission of adverse childhood experiences via maternal depression and anxiety and moderation by child sex
(Cumming School of Medicine, Paediatrics, University of Calgary, Pre-print, 2018-07-23)Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) of parents are associated with a variety of negative health outcomes in offspring. Little is known about the mechanisms by which ACEs are transmitted to the next generation. Given that ... -
Maternal sensitivity and social support protect against childhood atopic dermatitis
(Springer Nature, Cumming School of Medicine, Paediatrics, University of Calgary, https://www.springernature.com/gp/policies, Pre-print, 2017-05-26)Background: Many studies have identified associations between qualities of maternal–child relationships and childhood asthma, but few have examined associations with childhood atopic dermatitis (AD), a common precursor to ... -

(Elsevier, Cumming School of Medicine, Community Health Sciences, Paediatrics, Psychiatry, University of Calgary, Pre-print, 2018-05-28) -
Social buffering of the maternal and infant HPA axes: Mediation and moderation in the intergenerational transmission of adverse childhood experiences
(Cambridge University Press, Cumming School of Medicine, Paediatrics, University of Calgary, https://www.cambridge.org/core/services/open-access-policies, Pre-print, 2018-08-02)Supportive social relationships can reduce both psychological and physiological responses to stressful experiences. Recently, studies have also assessed the potential for social relationships to buffer the intergenerational ... -
Biological embedding of perinatal social relationships in infant stress reactivity
(Wiley, Cumming School of Medicine, Nursing, Paediatrics, Psychiatry, University of Calgary, Arizona State University, http://olabout.wiley.com/WileyCDA/Section/id-826716.html, Pre-print, 2017-02-21)Whereas significant advances have been made in understanding how exposure to early adversity "gets under the skin" of children to result in long-term changes in developmental outcomes, the processes by which positive social ... -
Vitamin D Deficiency and Antenatal and Postpartum Depression: A Systematic Review
(MDPI, Cumming School of Medicine, Paediatrics, University of Calgary, https://www.mdpi.com/about/openaccess, Publisher's version, 2018-04-12)Vitamin D has been implicated in antenatal depression (AD) and postpartum depression (PPD) in many studies; however, results have been inconsistent due to the complexity of this association. We searched the MEDLINE, Embase, ... -
Short-term autonomic nervous system and experiential responses during a labyrinth walk
(Cogent OA, Cumming School of Medicine, Paediatrics, Alberta Children's Hospital, Memorial University Of Newfoundland, University of Calgary, https://www.cogentoa.com/faq, Publisher's version, 2018-07-10)The labyrinth is a simple geometric form with one path leading to the centre and out. It is often used in religious and health-related institutions for quiet walking and meditation. It is considered a convenient tool for ...
