Validation of a System Using Aerosol Glycerine to Detect and Localize Intraoperatively Pulmonary Air Leaks
Air leaks represent one of the most common complications and postoperative morbidity in thoracic surgery. Air leaks have been associated with the largest preventable morbidity associated with increased costs following lobectomy (typically related to increased length of stay). However, the standard used to detect and localize the air leaks, the …
No Surgery Trial / Two Dose-escalation Strategies
A randomized study of 145 patients. Patients with a clinical T2-3 N0 rectal cancer will be randomized to two arms (arm A: standard chemoradiation (45 Gy in 25 with concomitant 5-FU or Xeloda chemotherapy) and an external beam boost of 9 Gy compared to arm B: standard chemoradiation (45 Gy …
Effect of High Dose Insulin on Infectious Complications Following Major Surgery
Despite improvements in surgical techniques and perioperative care, the high incidence of postoperative surgical site infections remains a major problem in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery (liver, pancreatic and colorectal surgery). Using the hyperinsulinemic-normoglycemic clamp technique, i.e. continuous infusion of insulin combined with dextrose titrated to "clamp" blood glucose between …
Topical Infliximab for Sterile Corneal Melt
Corneal melt is a complication that could affect very ill eyes and lead to the thinning of the cornea (the clear window covering of the eyes). This thinning can lead to severe consequences such as the leakage of the liquid inside the eye (ocular perforation), or even blindness. Corneal melt …
Local Bisphosphonate Effect on Recurrence Rate in Extremity Giant Cell Tumor of Bone
The purpose of the clinical study is to investigate whether the local delivery of bisphosphonate as a surgical adjuvant can decrease the chance of a giant cell tumor of bone coming back to the same location. The hypothesis is that the local administration of bisphosphonate will decrease the rate of …

In this Phase II, the drug will be used to treat pediatric patients diagnosed with recurrent Adamantinomatous Craniopharyngioma including patients who have undergone surgery …
Comparing Hypothermic Temperatures During Hemiarch Surgery
Hypothermic circulatory arrest is an important surgical technique, allowing complex aortic surgeries to be performed safely. Hypothermic circulatory arrest provides protection to cerebral and visceral organs, but may result in longer cardiopulmonary bypass times during surgery, increased risks of bleeding, inflammation, and neuronal injury. To manage these consequences, a trend …
Identifying Predictors Of Response To Mepolizumab In CRSwNP
The investigators propose a real-world study to assess the mechanism of action of long-lasting response to mepolizumab in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) and identify clinically useful predictors of response. Mepolizumab is a monoclonal antibody targeting IL-5 and is approved for use in asthma and CRSwNP. In …
VR-CBT With Inuit in Quebec
The study design is a two-arm randomized controlled pilot trial. The investigators will recruit Inuit in Montreal and randomly assign them to two treatment groups (n=20 each). The active psychotherapy group will receive a ten-week manualized virtual reality (VR) assisted cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy (VR-CBT) at the clinic and guided by a …
Autologous Cultured Corneal Epithelium (CECA) for the Treatment of Limbal Stem Cell Deficiency
The study " Autologous cultured corneal epithelium (CECA) for the treatment of corneal lesions associated with limbal stem cell deficiency" is the first clinical trial of this product manufactured at the LOEX laboratory. The culture of corneal epithelium strives to produce a reconstructed tissue with the therapeutical aim of treatment …
