Abstract	Background: We describe the development, testing, and analysis of the B.E. S.T.R.O.N.G. program, a comprehensive family-based multidisciplinary child obesity treatment program. The program uses an innovative Internet-based health tracker that was developed by the Children's Wellness Institute (CWI) for data collection, analysis, and storage. Methods: Data were obtained on 112 subjects who enrolled in the B.E. S.T.R.O.N.G. program in several healthcare institutions during the 2013-2014 academic year. There were 74 females and 38 males. The mean age was 9.75 ± 2.21 years. There were 89 white, 14 African American, 3 Hispanic, and 6 listed as other. Height and weight data were collected during the first, fourth, and seventh week. Diet and exercise data were collected in a HIPAA-compliant manner each week for seven weeks, using the health tracker, and transmitted electronically for statistical analysis and storage. Results: Subjects involved in the program demonstrated significant weight loss, averaging 3.8% reduction in BMI from their starting point. Weight loss in these subjects was associated with significant and measurable changes in diet, physical activity, and screen time. Participants in the B.E. S.T.R.O.N.G. program increased fruit and vegetable consumption to more than five daily servings and also demonstrated significant increases in the consumption of grains and protein foods. Furthermore, they maintained screen time at less than one hour per day, and increased all forms of physical activity to exceed one hour daily. Conclusions: The Internet-based health tracker demonstrated the effectiveness of the B.E. S.T.R.O.N.G. program, delivered by several healthcare institutions, in treating childhood obesity.

Article ; Online: "Grabbing" Autonomy When the Learning Environment Doesn't Support it: An Evidence-based Guide for Medical Learners.

Neufeld, Adam

Abstract	According to self-determination theory (SDT), environments which support the basic psychological needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness will facilitate autonomous motivation, learning, and wellness. On the other hand, environments which introduce external controls and power dynamics into the equation will do the opposite. Educational studies support these principles, yet most have focused on learners' need satisfaction as a passive process (e.g., via support or hindrance by educators), rather than the agentic pursuit that SDT emphasizes. In this commentary, I draw on my experience as a practicing physician and SDT researcher, and focus on how medical learners can "grab" more autonomy when the learning environment does not support it. I present a hypothetical case of a preceptor whose teaching style is controlling and unfortunately well-known to medical learners. I then unpack the case and outline different strategies that medical learners can use to navigate this type of interpersonal conflict.

Abstract	Plexins are a family of nine single-pass transmembrane receptors with a conserved GTPase activating protein (GAP) domain. The plexin family is divided into four subfamilies: Type-A, type-B, type-C, and type-D plexins. Plexins function as receptors for axon guidance factors of the semaphorin family. The semaphorin gene family contains 22 genes that are divided into eight subclasses of which subclasses three to seven represent vertebrate semaphorins. The plexins and their semaphorin ligands have important roles as regulators of angiogenesis, cancer proliferation, and metastasis. Class 3 semaphorins, with the exception of sema3E, are the only semaphorins that do not bind directly to plexins. In order to transduce their signals, they bind instead to complexes consisting of receptors of the neuropilin family and various plexins. Some plexins also form complexes with tyrosine-kinase receptors such as the epidermal growth factor receptor ErbB2, the mesenchymal epithelial transition factor receptor (MET), and the Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) and, as a result, can modulate cell proliferation and tumor progression. This review focuses on the roles of the different plexins in the control of cancer cell proliferation and invasiveness. Plexins also affect tumor progression and tumor metastasis by indirect mechanisms, such as modulation of angiogenesis and immune responses. However, these topics are not covered in the present review.

Abstract	The aim of this study was to validate a novel sperm purification device, the VetCount™ Harvester, for use in bovine in vitro fertilization (IVF). The device's performance was compared to BoviPure™ gradient centrifugation, a commercially available and accepted routine technique. Semen quality parameters were assessed for frozen-thawed semen from six different bulls (n = 6) following sperm purification. For each bull two semen subsamples were purified utilizing BoviPure™ gradient centrifugation and the VetCount™ Harvester, including a third subsample as untreated control. Both treatments significantly increased the proportion of progressively motile sperm cells (84.4 ± 14.1% and 85.1 ± 7.8%, respectively) compared to the untreated semen (41.9 ± 18.8%). BoviPure™ gradient and VetCount™ Harvester selected predominantly viable acrosome intact (VAI) sperm cells with low membrane fluidity and low free intracellular calcium concentration [Ca

Abstract	In this work, the protein quality of defatted hemp hearts and protein-enriched hemp fractions was determined. Protein quality was assessed using a rodent bioassay to evaluate growth and protein digestibility, while amino acid composition was determined via HPLC. A method for determining in vitro protein digestibility was compared to in vivo methodology and used to generate an in vitro protein quality score. The true protein digestibility of hemp protein 2, a hemp protein concentrate, was significantly lower than that of either defatted hemp hearts or hemp protein 1, a hemp protein concentrate (

Abstract	In this paper, we study random neural networks which are single-hidden-layer feedforward neural networks whose weights and biases are randomly initialized. After this random initialization, only the linear readout needs to be trained, which can be performed efficiently, e.g., by the least squares method. By viewing random neural networks as Banach space-valued random variables, we prove a universal approximation theorem within a large class of Bochner spaces. Hereby, the corresponding Banach space can be significantly more general than the space of continuous functions over a compact subset of a Euclidean space, namely, e.g., an $L^p$-space or a Sobolev space, where the latter includes the approximation of the derivatives. Moreover, we derive approximation rates and an explicit algorithm to learn a deterministic function by a random neural network. In addition, we provide a full error analysis and study when random neural networks overcome the curse of dimensionality in the sense that the training costs scale at most polynomially in the input and output dimension. Furthermore, we show in two numerical examples the empirical advantages of random neural networks compared to fully trained deterministic neural networks. Comment: 64 pages, 3 figures

Article ; Online: How medical students cope with stress: a cross-sectional look at strategies and their sociodemographic antecedents.

Abstract	Background: Medical training can be highly stressful for students and negatively impact their mental health. Important to this matter are the types of coping strategies (and their antecedents) medical students use, which are only characterized to a limited extent. A better understanding of these phenomena can shed additional light on ways to support the health and well-being of medical students. Accordingly, we sought to determine medical students' use of various coping reactions to stress and how their gender and year of study influence those behaviours. Methods: A total of 400 University of Saskatchewan medical students were invited to complete an online survey. Using the Brief COPE inventory, we assessed students' reported use of various adaptive and maladaptive coping strategies. Descriptive and comparative statistics were performed, including multivariate analysis of variance, to explore how gender and year influenced coping strategies. Results: The participation rate was 49% (47% males and 53% females). Overall, the students' coping strategies were mostly adaptive, albeit with a few exceptions. Females used more behavioural disengagement, while males used less emotional and instrumental support. Additionally, third years used more denial to cope with stress than students in any other year. Conclusions: While few studies report significant sociodemographic effects on medical student coping, our findings raise the possibility that males and females do engage in different coping strategies in medical school, and that the clinical learning environment in third year may provoke more dysfunctional coping, compared to pre-clinical stages of training. Potential explanations and implications of these results are discussed.
