Response Variability to Exercise
In this proposal, the investigators challenge the assumption that following the physical activity guidelines implies benefit for ALL adults, and that if benefit is not achieved in response to first line therapy, it will be by simply exercising more. Thus, for improving cardiorespiratory fitness and cardiometabolic risk factors, unanswered questions …

Combined Anodal Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) and Cognitive Training and Decision-making
This study aims to (i) assess the effects of combined tDCS and cognitive training on decision-making on a trained task (Iowa Gambling Task; IGT); and (ii) test generalization to a closely related cognitive domain, namely motor impulsivity. It is hypothesized that combined anodal tDCS and cognitive training will result in …
Seizure Recurrence After Unprovoked First Seizure
One in 10 people have a seizure during their life. Usually no cause is identified. Seizures without an identified cause are called unprovoked first seizure (UFS). Most people with UFS do not have further seizures. Being able to predict the risk of more seizures as soon as possible would help …
Near Remote Method to Guide Performance of Regional Anesthesia
Ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia/analgesia techniques (or simply, 'regional blocks') have gained popularity as they can reduce, and sometimes even eliminate, the need for opiate analgesics (and, consequently, their side effects), thereby improving patient safety, reducing length of hospital stay and medical costs, and improving patient satisfaction. However, a major barrier to …
Using a Blood Test to Monitor Metastatic Breast Cancer Treatment
The goal of this observational study is to assess the effectiveness of the mDETECT breast cancer blood test at monitoring treatment response in women with metastatic breast cancer undergoing treatment.
Promoting Cognitive Health in Schizophrenia
The goal of this clinical trial is to effectively implement virtually-delivered interventions in mental health institutions nationwide to improve the cognitive health of individuals living with schizophrenia. The main objectives are: To determine the clinical effectiveness of two virtual cognitive health interventions (i.e., Action-Based Cognitive Remediation or MetaCognitive Training). To …
