INTRODUCTION Although rural medicine interest groups (RMIGs) are prevalent in Canadian medical schools, there is little research on their contribution to rural education, training and careers. METHODS We explored 2 broad questions by means of an electronic survey to people who were RMIG participants at McMaster University from 2002 to 2007: 1) What are the experiences of undergraduate trainee...

This talk presents work in collaboration withA. Aftalion (Paris-6) and Lia Bronsard (McMaster). We consider the following variational problem arising from a two-dimensional model for rotating Bose–Einstein Condensates (BEC.) Let a = a(r) be a real-analytic radially symmetric function in the plane, with the property that A = {x ∈ R : a(|x|) > 0} is an annulus, and such that a vanishes linearly a...

We consider the Lawrence–Doniach model for layered superconductors, in which stacks of parallel superconducting planes are coupled via the Josephson effect. We assume that the superconductor is placed in an external magnetic field oriented parallel to the superconducting planes and study periodic lattice configurations in the limit as the Josephson coupling parameter r → 0. This limit leads to ...

[Purpose] The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of kinesiology taping therapy on degenerative knee arthritis patients' pain, function, and joint range of motion. [Subjects] To conduct the experiment in the present study, 30 patients with degenerative knee arthritis were divided into a control group (the conservative treatment group) of 15 patients, who received conservativ...

Between 1998 and 2002, 25 patients who were treated with a refrigerated or frozen allograft were evaluated. The mean patient age was 48 years. The mean lesion size was 4.5 cm. Validated outcome instruments [Knee Society Score, Western Ontario and McMaster University Score] were used. Clinical and radiographic evaluations were performed pre-operatively and at the most recent follow-up. Histologi...

[Purpose] There are many types of hyaluronic acid preparations, but no clear data are available about which preparations is more effective. The aim of this trial was to investigate the effectiveness of different types of hyaluronic acid preparations on pain and function of inpatients with knee osteoarthritis. [Subjects and Methods] All patients were diagnosed by clinical examination and x-ray. ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The Chedoke-McMaster Stroke Assessment measures the physical impairments and disabilities that impact on the lives of individuals with stroke. This measure has three overall purposes: 1) to stage motor recovery to classify individuals in terms of clinical characteristics, 2) to predict rehabilitation outcomes, and 3) to measure clinically important change in physical func...
