Simulation for Operating Room Ergonomics
Ergonomics is the study of how people interact with, and work within an environment. This idea is especially important in a setting such as the operating room (OR), which can be both physically and mentally challenging. Poor ergonomic practices lead to physical discomfort and injuries in \>50% of OR staff …
Efficacy of the COronary SInus Reducer in Patients With Refractory Angina II
Evaluation Compared with traditional NACT, whether PIPAC can increase the incidence of CRS3 determines the rationality of choosing PIPAC.
FDG-PET and Circulating HPV in Patients With Cervical Cancer Treated With Definitive Chemoradiation (II)
Nearly all cervical cancers are caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV), which can be detected in cancer tissue by laboratory tests. There is evidence that the virus can also be detected from a blood sample to monitor the effects of treatment. Previous studies have shown that a special test …
Improving Quality of Life for Patients With Breast Cancer Invading the Chest Wall: A Prospective Registry For Patients Undergoing Full Thickness Chest Wall Resection
Although chest wall recurrence of breast cancer is uncommon, it represents a difficult clinical scenario. The role of full thickness chest wall resection (FTCWR) for breast cancer recurrence in the chest wall is controversial and is complicated by the fact that no prospective evidence exists evaluating the utility of FTCWR …
Reducing Opioid Use for Chronic Pain Patients Following Surgery
Patients with chronic pain are often prescribed long-term opioid therapy, despite the serious risks and growing concerns related to opioid use. The Toronto General Hospital has created the world's first multidisciplinary perioperative Transitional Pain Service Program (TPSP) aimed at reducing the incidence and severity of chronic post-surgical pain. The TPSP …
Study of ADI-PEG 20 or Placebo Plus Gem and Doc in Previously Treated Subjects With Leiomyosarcoma (ARGSARC)
To compare the efficacy and safety in subjects with advanced or metastatic LMS previously treated with an anthracycline.
Accuracy of Community General Pediatrician Diagnosis of Autism Compared to a Multidisciplinary Team Assessment
The goals of this diagnostic study are to determine how accurate general pediatricians are in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) diagnostic assessment and which children might be best suited for this type of assessment. The investigators will also evaluate the use of a new virtual diagnostic tool, the Autism Assessment for …
Comparing the Effectiveness of the Immunotherapy Agents Rituximab or Mosunetuzumab in Patients With Nodular Lymphocyte-Predominant Hodgkin Lymphoma, NORM Trial
This phase II trial compares mosunetuzumab to the usual treatment (rituximab) for improving survival in patients with nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (NLPHL). Rituximab and mosunetuzumab are monoclonal antibodies. They bind to a protein called CD20, which is found on B cells (a type of white blood cell) and some types …
Comparing SBRT to CRT in Patients With Spinal Metastases
This is a single institutional registry-based, prospective, observational study to describe radiation oncologists' decision making during evaluation of patients and to compare real-world outcomes of SBRT vs CRT. A registry-based trial involves observing the effect of something without manipulating it.
Genomic Investigation of Unusual Responders
Studies have shown that tumors from the same patient may respond very differently to the same therapeutic agents. This study aims to investigate the genetic basis of tumors that respond abnormally well or poorly to therapeutic agents in an effort to understand the fundamental genetic basis of this response. The …
