Cardiac Tissue Sodium Assessment in CKD Patients Using Sodium MRI
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is prevalent worldwide and affects around 10% of people living in developed health economies. As the kidney loses its function in patients with CKD, the kidneys are unable to filter toxins out of the blood as efficiently as those of healthy individuals. Arguably, sodium (salt) is …
MR Evidence of Cardiac Inflammation Post-Stroke
The present study is an investigator initiated, single-centre, prospective, proof-of-concept cohort study aiming to enroll 44 patients with acute middle cerebral artery (MCA) ischemic stroke, involving the right (n=22) and left (n=22) MCA territories and 24 control patients with acute focal neurological symptoms but no evidence of acute brain infarct …
Early Prediction of Oral Cancer by S100A7 Immunohistochemistry Signature-based Assessment
The purpose of this observational study is to evaluate the utility of the S100A7 immunohistochemistry signature-based assessment - STRATICYTE - in determining the risk of progression to cancer of clinically suspicious oral lesions.
Evaluation of the Transitional and Lifelong Care Program
The population cared for in the Transitional and Lifelong Care (TLC) clinic is youth and adults with childhood-onset disability, of which the large majority are adults with brain-based, neurodevelopmental conditions such as cerebral palsy, spina bifida and developmental disability. The TLC program was created to address the health inequities that …
Novel Pulmonary Imaging of Lung Structure and Function in E-cigarette Smokers
This is a longitudinal study of the long-term health impact of e-cigarette smoking on the lungs. Participants will be followed over a period of 5 years, and impacts of e-cigarette smoking on the lungs will be measured with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using hyperpolarized xenon-129 gas, pulmonary function tests, exercise …
Studying the Effects of Cannabis on Vasculature
Cannabis is commonly used globally. It is associated with psychiatric problems, but the effects on the cardiovascular system are unclear. In this project, the investigators plan to study the effects of cannabis on the cardiovascular system. This will be done by using a non-invasive test to measure blood vessel function …
Establishing the Validity and Reliability of a Dexterity Assessment Tool
Every year, thousands of Canadians are diagnosed with degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM), a form of non-traumatic injury caused by spinal cord compression in the neck. While DCM causes a range of symptoms, one of the most disabling is loss of hand dexterity. Surgical decompression is standard treatment for DCM, but …
Impact of COVID-19 on Quality of Life of Seniors With Eye Disease and Implementations to Improve Wellness
The ophthalmology clientele is vulnerable in the context of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic because of their age and comorbidities. Specifically, elderly patients aged 65 and above with glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, or diabetic retinopathy require regular follow-ups and commonly suffer from additional comorbidities. Further, because of the proximity …
Model to Predict pCR and IrAEs in Early Stage Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
Lung cancer is the chief cause of cancer death. The new standard-of-care (SOC) in operable lung cancer combines chemotherapy and an immune-stimulating drug before the surgery (neoadjuvant approach). This results in a large increase in complete cancer clearance rates compared to chemotherapy alone (±30% with combination vs ±4% with chemotherapy …
Confirming Permanent Lack of Blood Flow to the Brain During A-NRP DCC Organ Transplant
This study aims to evaluate the surgical technique used in Abdominal Normothermic Regional Perfusion (A-NRP) in death determination by circulatory criteria (DCC) organ donors. The proposed study will demonstrate that there is no resumption of brain blood flow or activity during the A-NRP procedure. This will be assessed using multimodal …
