Virtual Reality Distraction for Dental Anxiety (RCT)
The aim of this randomized clinical trial is to verify the efficacy of VR immersion over a muted cartoon on a wall-mounted TV to decrease dental fear and anxiety of children undergoing dental procedures. The study also aims to gain insight on the satisfaction of parents and healthcare providers on …
Patient Specific Biomechanical Modeling of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm to Improve Aortic Endovascular Repair
This project is aiming at the integration of a biomechanical computer program with a guidance code to simulate the endovascular repair (EVAR) procedure of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). The computational time associated with finite element simulation generally renders its usage impractical for real-time application. Based on data collected during clinical …
Dexmedetomidine and Ketamine in VATS Surgery
Postoperative pain after VATS surgery is significant and associated with moderate to high post operative morphine requirements, which can cause opioid related side effects and delay postoperative recovery. To reduce this requirement, multimodal analgesia with non opioid medication such as dexmedetomidine and ketamine can be used. These drugs have demonstrated …
Neurocognitive Disorders After Major Surgery in Elderly
The objective of the study is to investigate, in patients aged 70 years and over undergoing major non-cardiac surgery, the effect of electroencephalic (EEG)-guided anesthesia on postoperative neurocognitive disorders when controlling for intraoperative nociception, personalized blood pressure targets and using full information provided by the processed EEG monitor (including burst …
Topical Infliximab in Eyes With Penetrating Keratoplasty
Penetrating keratoplasty is a cornea surgery involving several inflammatory complications, of which the most important is glaucoma. Researchers wish to determine whether it is safe to administer infliximab (an anti-inflammatory drug) eye drops after surgery, and whether this eye drop could prevent the occurrence of glaucoma.
Restrictive Fluid Management In Liver Transplantation (REFIL)
Hypothesis: A Canadian multicentre clinical trial is feasible. Study Design: Multicenter internal pilot parallel arm randomized controlled trial Study population: Patients with end-stage liver disease undergoing a liver transplantation not meeting any exclusion criteria. Primary endpoint: The primary feasibility endpoint is an overall recruitment rate ≥ 4 patients/month across all …
A Combined Multidomain Intervention to Prevent Cognitive Decline Associated With Cardiovascular Risk Factors.
The ACTIONcardioRisk trial is designed to investigate the effect of aerobic and progressive resistance training exercises combined with cognitive training, on neurocognitive functioning of sedentary older adults with and without cardiovascular risk factors.
Choline-PET: Exploratory Study Assessing the Potential Role of F-choline PET Imaging in New and Emerging Indications
Choline is an important building block of phospholipids in cell membranes. Certain cancers and medical conditions are known to demonstrate increased absorption and incorporation of choline into their cell membranes. 18-F-fluorocholine (F-choline) and 11-C-choline (C-choline) are diagnostic positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracers that can be used to image, in vivo, …
Study of Personalized Instrument in Total Shoulder Arthroplasty The P.I.T.S.A. Study
Total shoulder arthroplasty is an effective procedure to improve patients function and to relieve shoulder pain in cases of glenohumeral arthritis. The main challenge of this procedure is implanting the glenoid component. Indeed, surgical exposure is difficult and proper visualization of the glenoid is demanding. The current free-hand method is …
68Ga-DOTATATE Neuroblastoma Imaging Pilot
Neuroblastoma is the most frequent extracranial childhood tumor, with an annual incidence of approximately 10.2 per million children. Staging of the disease can be done by different imaging strategies (CT, MRI, scintigraphy and PET/CT). Discrepancies may be observed among these different strategies resulting in different treatment strategies. The goal of …
