Abstract

Protein mislocalization and proteostasis deficiencies are two primary hallmark features of neurodegeneration.

You are invited to the Graham Seed Fund Launch Event on Monday, October 31 at 12:00 p.m. ET, presented by Transformative Health Technologies.

The purpose of this session is to give potential applicants to the Health Services Evaluation & Interventions Research (HS) Peer Review Committees of the CIHR Project Grant program an opportunity to hear first-hand about the committee ‘culture’.

Sketchnoting has recently emerged in popular culture, as an alternative to writing text-based notes; it incorporates graphics and illustrations as a means to record and remember materials presented in lectures, and meetings.

Dr. Forster will describe the motivations for change in healthcare and describe how the Ottawa Hospital is supporting transformation using three related concepts: learning systems, data democratization, and open innovation.  At the foundation of these concepts is a need for strong leadership and trust to support the meaningful collaborations required to achieve meaningful impacts.

Abstract

The basic principles and experimental set-ups for Edge Illumination and Beam Tracking X-ray phase-contrast imaging (XPCI) are introduced, along with examples on key applications where phase-based imaging complements and advances the more conventional attenuation-based X-ray imaging. X-ray dark-field techniques are also discussed with an emphasis on the most recent developments on tomography and directional imaging.
