Co-Hosted by : WELCOME DELEGATES Welcome to the 4th Annual Canadian National Perinatal Research Meeting (CNPRM). We are delighted that you have all decided to join us for exciting and novel science and great fun at the Fairmont Montebello, Quebec! As you may know, although the CNPRM is only in its fourth year, Canadian perinatal researchers have been meeting yearly for nearly 40 years as Western and Eastern groups, and in February 2014 we came together to form a Canadian National meeting that was held in Banff. It was so successful that this new national annual format was adopted for the 2015 (Montebello) and 2016 (Banff) meetings and has formed the basis for the 2017 meeting as well. The 2017 meeting has achieved record numbers of registrants and trainees, which is evidence of Canada’s vibrant and growing perinatal research community, and our immense contribution to perinatal research and our role in the global effort of supporting and maintaining maternal and child health and policy. This year we have 384 registered delegates and 275 submitted abstracts (65 oral and 210 poster trainee presentations - A big thank you to all the members of the Thematic Committees who judged the submission). We also have three world-class international Plenary speakers, and for this year’s scientific program, we have added a few new themes to the program, increasing the number of these concurrent sessions to 12 in 2017. As in previous years, the meeting in 2017 will host two evening poster sessions; as well, for the first time this year, eight special interest workshop sessions will be included, with topics ranging from how to secure that first faculty position to topics such as neonatal feeding and improving neonatal care with the help of veteran parents. There will also be several topical group meetings, and the conference will conclude with a banquet dinner. The CNPRM is also about trainees, and we work hard every year to ensure that any trainee that is inspired to submit their work to CNPRM is permitted to present in a comfortable and nurturing environment. To honour our emerging scientists, CNPRM 2017 offers at total of 12 trainee awards. Among the many awards given away at the CNPRM, we have four awards of $100 plus registration for CNPRM 2018 kindly sponsored by the CIHR - Institute of Human Development, Child and Youth Health given to the top two oral and top two poster presentations. An additional four oral and four poster presentation awards for our trainees are also to be awarded. Trainee support does not come without cost and this year over $160,000 of sponsorship money was raised to fund the trainees and the meeting logistics. We are grateful to the generosity of so many sponsors from Industry, Research Institutes and University Divisions, Departments and Sections, which enable CNPRM to continue to fully support our young scientists - our perinatal research leaders of tomorrow. Please take advantage of this meeting to exchange ideas, network and discuss science. We hope you will go home with novel ideas, new research avenues, and breakthrough concepts to explore, as well as new collaborators and friends. We would like to thank all our guest speakers, delegates, sponsors and attendees, as well as members of our Thematic Committees, workshop organizers, judges and session moderators, who have travelled from far and wide to join us to make this what we are confident will be a memorable meeting. Finally, without the support of the Fairmont Montebello, and our dedicated admin support staff of Karen Burell and Jennifer Cordick, and student (McMaster and Western) volunteers, the meeting would be impossible, thank you all! On behalf of the CNPRM 2017 Organizing Committee, welcome and enjoy! Dr. Timothy Regnault, PhD Dr. Deborah Sloboda, PhD CNPRM 2017 2 BIENVENUE Bienvenue au 4e Congrès annuel canadien de recherche périnatale! Nous sommes ravis que vous soyez avec nous cette année encore pour écouter et partager les dernières avancées scientifiques dans notre domaine, ici au Fairmont Montebello, Québec. Comme vous le savez probablement, même si ce congrès canadien n’en est qu’à sa 4e édition nationale, les chercheurs en périnatologie de l’Est et de l’Ouest du pays ont tenu des rencontres scientifiques annuellement depuis près de 40 ans. Le premier congrès national a eu lieu en 2014 à Banff; ce fut un tel succès que tous décidèrent de dorénavant tenir annuellement cette rencontre nationale, alternant l’Ouest (Banff 2014, 2016) et l’Est (Montebello 2015 et cette année, 2017). Le congrès 2017 semble atteindre un nombre record de participants, tant chercheurs qu’étudiants, soulignant la vitalité et la croissance de la recherche périnatale au Canada, et notre contribution à l’amélioration des soins et politiques de santé des mères et des enfants. Nous accueillons cette année 384 participants. 275 abrégés ont été soumis (65 retenus pour des présentations orales et 210 présentations par affiches – un grand merci aux Comités thématiques pour leur travail de sélection). Durant les sessions plénières, nous entendrons 3 conférenciers renommés invités de l’international. Nous avons ajouté des thèmes d’intérêt au programme, augmentant à 12 sessions thématiques cette année pour répondre aux intérêts du plus grand nombre. Tout comme par les années passées, nous avons en soirée 2 sessions de présentations par affiches. Nouveauté cette année, nous avons aussi 8 ateliers sur des sujets allant de comment obtenir un premier poste de professeur-chercheur à la nutrition néonatale ou comment améliorer les soins en néonatologie en équipe avec des parents-vétérans. Surveillez aussi les rencontres de divers groupes de discussions. Et surtout, soyez présents au Banquet de jeudi soir! Le Congrès annuel canadien de recherche périnatale est un congrès qui a la relève scientifique au cœur de ses préoccupations. Chaque année, nous travaillons très fort pour assurer à chaque étudiant qui soumet un abrégé de ses travaux l’occasion de présenter et discuter dans un environnement constructif et chaleureux, et avec un minimum de frais. Pour souligner l’excellence de nos étoiles montantes, le congrès cette année attribuera de nombreux prix : 4 prix de 100$ en plus de l’inscription au congrès 2018 offerts par l’Institut du développement et de la santé des enfants et des adolescents des IRSC aux 2 meilleures présentations par affiche et 2 meilleures présentations orales, en plus de 4 prix pour les présentations par affiche et de 4 prix pour les présentations orales. Ce support des étudiants n’est pas sans coût et cette année encore ce sont plus de $170,000 en sponsorship qui ont été amassés pour couvrir les frais des étudiants et l’organisation du congrès. Nous sommes donc très reconnaissants envers nos partenaires de l’industrie, des instituts et centres de recherche, des services et départements cliniques et universitaires de partout au pays qui, cette année encore, permettent à ce congrès d’exister et aux étudiants d’y être particulièrement bien accueillis. Nous souhaitons que vous profitiez pleinement de ce congrès pour échanger des idées, « réseauter » et discuter science. Nous espérons qu’après votre séjour vous rentrerez chez vous avec des idées renouvelées, de nouvelles avenues de recherche, des concepts originaux à explorer et surtout des nouveaux collaborateurs et amis. Nous remercions chaleureusement tous nos conférenciers invités, sponsors et participants, de même que les membres des différents comités thématiques, organisateurs d’ateliers, juges et modérateurs, qui se sont déplacés jusqu’ici pour permettre à ce congrès d’être un événement mémorable! Finalement, il faut souligner le support essentiel et déterminant du Fairmont Montebello, de notre équipe de support administratif Karen Burell et Jennifer Cordick et d’étudiants bénévoles à McMaster et Western U. Au nom du comité organisateur de l’édition 2017 du Congrès annuel canadien de recherche périnatale, bienvenue, merci d’être là et, surtout, profitez-en bien!

    Treatment of ARDS*

    Treatment of ARDS* Roy G. Brower, MD; Lorraine B. Ware, MD; Yves Berthiaume, MD; and Michael A. Matthay, MD, FCCP Improved understanding of the pathogenesis of acute lung injury (ALI)/ARDS has led to important advances in the treatment of ALI/ARDS, particularly in the area of ventilator- associated lung injury. Standard supportive care for ALI/ARDS should now include a protective ventilatory strategy with low tidal volume ventilation by the protocol developed by the National Institutes of Health ARDS Network. Further refinements of the protocol for mechanical ventilation will occur as current and future clinical trials are completed. In addition, novel modes of mechanical ventilation are being studied and may augment standard therapy in the future. Although results of anti-inflammatory strategies have been disappointing in clinical trials, further trials are underway to test the efficacy of late corticosteroids and other approaches to modulation of inflammation in ALI/ARDS.

Depletion of uterine (u) NK cells, recently achieved using gene-ablated and transgenic mice, results in pathology. Pregnancies from matings of homozy- gous NK and T cell–deficient tge26 mice have ,1% of normal uNK cell frequency, no devel- opment of an implantation site–associated metrial gland, and an edematous decidua with vascu- lar pathology that includes abnormally high vessel walls/lumens ratios. Fetal loss of 64% occurs midgestation and placentae are small. None of these features are seen in pregnant T cell–defi- Downloaded from cient mice. To confirm the role of the NK cell deficiency in these reproductive deficits, trans- plantation of tge26 females was undertaken using bone marrow from B and T cell–deficient scid/scid donors. Engrafted pregnant females have restoration of the uNK cell population, in- duced metrial gland differentiation, reduced anomalies in the decidua and decidual blood ves- sels, increased placental sizes, and restoration of fetal viability at all gestational days studied (days 10, 12, and 14). Thus, uNK cells appear to have critical functions in pregnancy that promote decidual health, the appropriate vascularization of implantation sites, and placental size.

HAMILTON MEDICAL has started and continues to lead the quest for PATIENT SAFETY AND STAFF EFFECTIVENESS. Physicians, Respiratory Care Professionals and Nurses work hard every day to care for the patients that we all serve. Despite their best efforts, patients on ventilators are routinely harmed in the process. Ventilator-Induced Lung Injury is fact. Hamilton Medical wants to change that. We are leading the charge to create a standard of care where Intelligent Ventilation protects the patient from harm, reduces chances for errors and promotes better staff effectiveness. Dear Friends and Colleagues, Those of you who know me will understand the unconventional nature of my actions. Who gives some VP “suit” (a joke, since I rarely wear one) the idea that he should use valuable ad space as a bully pulpit? I do. I could not come up with a catchy, visually exciting marketing piece, so I decided to have a simple conversation with you. I consider the Hamilton Medical team on a quest to increase the safety of mechanical ventilation and increase the efficiency of the healthcare system. Hamilton Medical was the first company to offer closed-loop control mechanical ventilation and we still lead the market today. The last year has been a turning point for Intelligent Ventilation. Hamilton Medical has been working with key experts in the specialty of respiratory care to better understand the mechanisms to provide the SAFETY and EFFECTIVENESS of Intelligent Ventilation to as many leading edge clinicians and facilities as possible.
