2 Ablative RadioTherapy Treatments for Prostate Cancer
Favorable-risk prostate cancer represent a large proportion of patients diagnosed with prostate cancer and image guided radiation therapy (IGRT) is commonly used to treat these patients using protracted courses of up to 39 treatments over 8 weeks. Stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR) protocols hold the promise of more convenience, less …
SBRT vs. Conventional Fractionation With HDR Boost for Prostate Cancer
Random assignment between SBRT and conventionally fractionated boost following HDR brachytherapy for prostate cancer.
Switching From Twice-Daily to Once-Daily Clozapine Dosing in Schizophrenia
Plasma half-life has routinely been used to establish the dosing schedule of antipsychotics; for example, it is recommended that agents with a short plasma half-life be administered multiple times per day. However, to date, several randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have shown no differences in clinical outcomes between once- and twice-daily …
Intravitreal Topotecan in the Repair of Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment with Proliferative Vitreoretinopathy
Intravitreal topotecan has anti-inflammatory, anti-proliferative and anti-fibrotic activity that we hypothesize may exhibit high efficacy for the treatment of proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) in patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). A high efficacy for intravitreal topotecan has been exhibited in cell cultures of PVR. At the same time, intravitreal topotecan has …
Time Spent In Target Glucose Range in Women With T2D Diabetes in Pregnancy
Prospective cohort study to determine to what extent women with type 2 diabetes are achieving the time in the target range outlined for women with type 1 diabetes (70-140 mg/dl or 3.5-7.8 mmol/l), overall and by trimester, by standard CGM measures and functional data analysis
Oropharyngeal Exercises to Treat Obstructive Sleep Apnea
The goal of this study is to determine whether a randomized controlled trial using oropharyngeal exercises to treat sleep apnea is feasible. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the standard therapy for Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), but it is poorly tolerated by many patients. Oropharyngeal exercises (OPEs) which are commonly …
Tele-rehabilitation in Chronic Respiratory Disease: an Observational Cohort Study
Pulmonary rehabilitation is a program that helps people with lung disease improve their function. It uses exercise, education, and self-management strategies to improve physical ability and quality of life. Because some people are unable to visit West Park Healthcare Centre, we established a remote supervised pulmonary rehabilitation program that patients …
Promoting Intensive Transitions for Children and Youth With Medical Complexity From Pediatric to Adult Care
Medical advances have allowed many more children and youth with medical complexity (CMC) to survive well into adulthood. However, this has not been matched with increases in knowledge of complex conditions or the availability of supports as they transition into the adult care system. The goal of this randomized control …
Does tDCS Change Synaptic Density in the Brains of Patients With Schizophrenia
This study will examine changes in synaptic density with transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in the brains of patients with schizophrenia. Synaptic density levels will be measured using a novel positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracer \[18F\]SDM-8, which is currently the best-in-class method to quantify synaptic density in humans. This will …
ENhancing Outcomes in Cognitive Impairment Through Use of Home Sleep ApNea Testing
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which causes abnormal pauses in breathing during sleep, is common in patients with vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) and Alzheimer's disease (AD), and exacerbates the cognitive deficits seen in these conditions. OSA is typically treated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), which has been shown to improve …
