Home-based Heat Therapy for Type 2 Diabetes
Insulin resistance and hyperglycemia predispose individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) to endothelial dysfunction and a greater risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Increased CVD risk in individuals with T2DM persists despite optimal pharmacological therapy, highlighting the need to identify complementary lifestyle interventions that improve cardiometabolic functions in this population. …
Using Micro-filaments to Detect "Fast Ripples" and Improve the Identification of the Epileptogenic Zone
record fast ripples with novel intracranial electrodes with micro-tetrodes to improve the identification of epileptogenic zone (EZ) and investigate the neuronal circuits underlying brain dynamics associated with epilepsy
AQUABEAM® Robotic System and Ultrasound Accessories
Lower urinary symptoms (LUTS) affect many older men and their frequency and severity increase with age. In the age group between 65 and 79 years the rate of men with moderate and severe LUTS is 20 - 25% (Hunter et al. 1994). The complaints are potentially associated with a considerable …
Empagliflozin in Acute Heart Failure
The objective is to study in a prospective, interventional, single arm, cohort study the potential synergistic diuretic effect of empagliflozin, in addition to furosemide, in hypervolemic patients admitted with acutely decompensated heart failure and diuretic resistance at the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC). The investigators hypothesize that the sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 …
Integrative Couple Treatment for Gambling/Substance Use Disorder
The aim of the study is to compare couple-based treatment to individual treatment (treatment as usual) for addiction (gambling or substance use disorder).
Effects of Individualized Cognitive Training on Cognition in Heart Failure
The SYNAPSE trial is designed to study the effects of an individualized home-based cognitive training program on cognitive functions in heart-failure patients.
STING MARK Universal Fiducial Marker System
Currently available fiducial marker and fiducial insertion strategies are rudimentary, imprecise, not compatible with multiple insertion catheters/needles and are overall unreliable. STING-MARK device is the first universal, fully detachable and non-premounted radiopaque fiducial device system. Allowing biopsy prior to insertion, STING-MARK is easily and reliably delivered through-the-needle to the tumor, …
Use of Ex Vivo Lung Perfusion (EVLP) in Reconditioning Marginal Donor Lungs for Transplantation
The overall objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of the novel technique of donor EVLP in increasing lung transplant activity by allowing previously unusable donor lungs to be safely used in clinical lung transplantation. Furthermore, to utilize the EVLP technique in research settings thus allowing the …
Exercise to Improve Sleep in Parkinson's Disease
This study will investigate the impact of three common exercise modalities, cardiovascular, resistance, and multimodal (i.e., a combination of the previous two) training, on sleep quality and architecture in persons with Parkinson's disease (PD). Furthermore, the project will investigate whether the potential positive exercise-induced changes in sleep are associated with …
Evolution and Adaptation to Caregiver of a Socio-geriatric Evaluation
With the COVID-19 pandemic, elderly people (EP) living at home have seen their health deteriorated, thus increasing their needs in support and care. Indeed, while it was estimated that before the pandemic120 000 unattended living at home EP required care and services (taking bath, access to medication and food, etc.), …
