A study of more than 8 million adults in Ontario, Canada suggests that even a modest loss of kidney function is associated with increased health risks. The study, published in The BMJ, could lead to better approaches to prevent chronic kidney disease and related conditions, particularly in younger adults.

A study from University of Ottawa and the Ottawa Hospital shows immune deficits in space are transient, and disappear back on Earth. Scientists have shown that the expression of (mostly protein-coding) genes in white blood cells changes rapidly when astronauts reach the International Space Station. This may explain why astronauts appear more susceptible to infectious diseases while in space. Most ...

When patients are suspected of having a primary brain tumour, also known as a glioma, they typically undergo a biopsy or a resection — procedures that involve surgically removing a sample of the tumour to further analyze it. Biopsies help oncologists confirm the existence of a tumour and determine whether it’s malignant or benign. This data also guides oncologists in choosing the proper course of ...

It’s that time of year, when nearly 9,000 graduating students walk across the stage to receive their diploma. At this time, we realize the breadth of experiences and the hard work and determination that go into being a uOttawa student.
