1. Integrated Physiology System: High performance data acquisition and analysis system that integrates a wide range physiological monitoring devices including: ECG, beat-by-beat blood pressure, Doppler ultrasound, muscle sympathetic nerve activity. 2. O2/CO2 analyzers & heated pneumotach: To record respiratory data at rest and during physiological challenges (e.g. handgrip exercise, hypoxia). 3. Portable ultrasound: Used for cardiac and vascular measurements. This machine provides Doppler measurements of the blood flow velocity and vessel diameter and rest and during physiological challenges. We also use this machine for vascular function assessment. 4. Transcranial Doppler: To record cerebral blood velocity and to allow for transformation of the audio signal from the portable ultrasound machine to a digital signal which can be collected via the integrated physiology system. 5. Applanation Tonometry: To measure pulse-wave velocity at the carotid, radial, or femoral arteries. 6. Non-invasive blood pressure device: To measure continuous blood pressure non-invasively using finger photoplethysmography. This in combination with the ECG allows us to evaluate baroreceptor function. 7. Microneurography: To measure muscle sympathetic nerve activity from the peroneal nerve at rest and during physiological challenges. 8. Pulse oximetry: To non-invasively estimate arterial blood oxygen saturation. 9. Vascular analysis software: Software for analysis of carotid intima media thickness, carotid compliance, brachial flow-mediated dilation (FMD) and reactive hyperemia (i.e. vascular function assessment). Testing is done in combination with the portal ultrasound machine.

Canadian Biosample Repository

Biobanking Canadian Biosample Repository

The CBSR facility provides efficient and robust biosample processing, management, storage and retrieval infrastructure. The CBSR operates on a cost-recovery basis to investigators in the Canadian research community. The newly built infrastructure in LKS (>$2 million dollar investment) is equipped with new freezers and robotics, and has the capacity to store in excess of 1 million samples. This enables CBSR to offer extensive temperature ranges at one facility to accommodate exact temperature requirements [Ambient (bone-dry, 18° C to 25° C) to Vapor Phase Nitrogen (-135° C to -196° C)]. With the addition of two (2) Tecan sample handling robots, use of high-throughput technologies are employed wherever possible to improve efficiency and accuracy. Samples are tracked using a customizable barcode labelling template within our Biobank software. 2D barcodes are generated by the program, creating a unique, never duplicated alpha-numeric sequence that provides an inventory ID for each of the samples. Security is a primary focus when storing valuable patient samples for an extended period of time. CBSR’s monitoring, security, and documentation is compliant with regulatory requirements (eg. FDA 21 CFR part 11).

This multi-user facility has three 100% research human MRI scanners for in vivo imaging, each with a unique magnetic field strength at 1.5T, 3T, or 4.7T. The 1.5T MRI can image the whole body with a primary emphasis on heart and brain, while the 3T and 4.7T are limited to brain primarily (and extremities). Structural, functional, spectroscopy, and multi-nuclear acquisitions are all feasible. The 1.5T is equipped with an MRI compatible patient monitor and contrast power injector. Studies on both adults and children are conducted. The Centre also has a volunteer waiting area, patient preparation area, wet lab, and electronics lab. Some limited pre-clinical imaging is possible. Technical support to optimize protocols and run MRI scans include an FSO, research associate, certified MRI technologist (1.5T), research nurse, and engineer. Custom methods can be developed in collaboration with the Centre’s scientific academic staff.

The University of Alberta Evidence-based Practice Center (EPC) is housed within ARCHE (see above). The University of Alberta EPC is one of 11 EPCs in North America and the only EPC outside the United States. The EPC Program is funded by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). The U of A EPC conducts systematic reviews, comparative effectiveness reviews, and technology assessments on topics assigned by AHRQ and of importance to government agencies, professional organizations, clinicians, consumer groups, and others concerned with health care. Topics cover a wide range of therapeutic and diagnostic technologies in the areas of pediatrics, endocrinology, emergency medicine, cardiology, rheumatology, asthma, cancer, diabetes, and complementary or alternative medicine. Through the EPC Program, we also produce technical reports that examine methodological issues in evidence synthesis.

The Cochrane Child Health Field

The Cochrane Child Health Field (CHF) is one of 13 Fields within The Cochrane Collaboration. The purpose of the CHF is to support the conduct, dissemination and utilization of child-relevant evidence syntheses to inform practice. The CHF supports child-relevant Cochrane Review Groups by facilitating clinically-relevant and methodologically rigorous Cochrane reviews on child health topics, developing methods for evidence synthesis and meta-analysis, translating high-quality healthcare evidence through formal and informal partnerships with relevant stakeholders, and providing training in critical appraisal and the use of systematic reviews. The CHF staff produce an online journal called Evidence-based Child Health: A Cochrane Review Journal.
