Exercise as a Primer for Brain Stimulation in Vascular Cognitive Impairment No Dementia (VCIND)
People with vascular conditions are at risk of having memory problems, and these memory problems increase the risk for further cognitive decline. Brain stimulation has been used to improve mood and memory. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is believed to work best on brain cells that are active or "primed" …
Metabolic Imaging of the Heart Using Hyperpolarized (13C) Pyruvate Injection
The prevalence of congestive heart failure (CHF) in Canada is high, representing one of the health care system's most expensive diagnoses. Despite major advances in medicine, the mortality and morbidity from CHF remains great. Currently, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used for non-invasive imaging of the cardiovascular system to enable …
The Role of Stereo-tActic BoDy RadIotherApy iN Oligo-Progressive MalignanT Disease
Systemic therapy is the main treatment for patients with metastatic cancers. Oligo-progression has become a recognized entity for metastatic cancer and it is thought that a subset of cancer cells may develop heterogeneity and resistant clones while receiving systemic therapy. This results in overall tumor response but progression in metastatic …
Talazoparib and Thoracic RT for ES-SCLC
This is a phase I, dose escalating study evaluating the safety of combining talazoparib and low dose consolidative thoracic radiotherapy for small cell lung cancer patients. This study will also determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of talazoparib in combination with low dose thoracic radiotherapy. Patients will start on talazoparib …
iParent2Parent Peer Support Program for Parents of Pediatric Kidney Transplant Recipients
The iParent2Parent (iP2P) program is a new, innovative virtual mentorship program that will connect parents one-to-one with other parents of pediatric kidney transplant recipients who are trained to offer vital peer support and mentorship. Parents of children who received a kidney transplant at The Hospital for Sick Children will be …
Feasibility of Reducing Respiratory Drive Using the Through-flow System
Mechanical ventilation can lead to diaphragm and lung injury. During mechanical ventilation, the diaphragm could be completely rested or it could be overworked, either of which may cause diaphragm injury. Mechanical stress and strain applied by mechanical ventilation or by the patient's own respiratory muscles can also cause injury to …
Study to Investigate an Association Between Brain Activity and Tidal Volume in Humans (BATMAN)
The communication between the lungs and the brain has drawn a lot of attention recently. Animal studies have shown that the breathing cycle is coupled with brain activity, showing that the greater the volume of air delivered to the lungs via a breathing machine greater the brain activity and also …
CLinical Evaluation of ANtiseptic Skin Preparation in Revision Total Joint Arthroplasty of the Hip and Knee
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two types of skin preparation solutions (chlorhexidine gluconate-alcohol solution and povidone-iodine solution) that help eliminate harmful bacteria on the skin at the time of surgery for patients having revision arthroplasty surgery of the hip or knee. The main outcome of interest …
De-escalated Dose SBRT in Localized Prostate Cancer (DESTINATION-MRL)
This study is a single centre feasibility trial. The trial will recruit men with intermediate risk localised prostate cancer who will all receive targeted dose (escalated/de-escalated dose directed by MRI) 5 fraction SBRT to the prostate. Trial Objectives are: Primary To develop a 5 fraction de-escalated dose SBRT protocol capable …
Comparing Menghini-type Needle and Franseen-type Needle in EBUS-TBNA for Sarcoidosis
This randomized pilot clinical trial aims to examine whether sample collection with Franseen-type needles are effective for the diagnosis of sarcoidosis, as defined by improved sample quality for pathological diagnosis compared to the conventional Menghini-type needle.
