The Oasis Evaluation and Expansion research team has been working with Oasis communities since 2018 to expand the program across Canada and to evaluate a number of health and well-being outcomes. This photo depicts a mural that represents the power of communities coming together. Each square of this mural was designed by an Oasis member from communities across Kingston and Belleville. Together, these squares form the Oasis logo, which was designed by members of the original Oasis community.</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-location field-type-text field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Location of photograph:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Kingston, Ontario</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-year-of-entry field-type-list-text field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Submission Year:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">2022</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-photo field-type-image field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><img typeof="foaf:Image" data-echo="/research/sites/default/files/Malvern_2022_2560x.jpg" data-icon="" src="/research/sites/all/modules/contrib/lazyloader/image_placeholder.gif" width="2560" height="1920" alt="[Photo of a mural designed by Oasis members]" title="Aging with Oasis" /><noscript><img typeof="foaf:Image" src="/research/sites/default/files/Malvern_2022_2560x.jpg" width="2560" height="1920" alt="[Photo of a mural designed by Oasis members]" title="Aging with Oasis" /></noscript></div></div></div> Tue, 31 May 2022 14:32:41 +0000 kvd1 25277 at /research The Tiniest Tree of Life /research/photos/tiniest-tree-life <div class="field field-name-field-photographer-s-name field-type-text field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Elahe Alizadeh, PhD</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded">COVID-19, the second pandemic of the current century, is still an ongoing global health emergency. Its complications and mortality are associated with pneumonia and alterations in the pulmonary vasculature. Acquiring 3D images of vascular trees in animal models provide a useful tool to evaluate the effects of COVID-19 in humans. In our research aimed at finding new drugs for COVID-19 under the supervision of Dr. Stephen Archer, vascular trees of a mouse were pressure perfused to maximal dilation with a radio-opaque material (barium). The heart and lungs were fixed and scanned using VECTor4CT scanner. VECTor4CT is the first tri-modality imaging system equipped with an ultra-high-resolution micro-computed tomography (µCT) scanner at Queen’s University.</div></div></div><div class="field
