A Novel Ferumoxytol-enhanced Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging for the Detection of Intracardiac Thrombus
The incidence of thrombosis in ventricular aneurysm was reported to be 35%-40%, which may lead to systemic thromboembolism. Patients with ventricular aneurysm without detectable thrombus are not routinely treated with anticoagulation. Therefore, the accuracy of intracardiac thrombus detection has an important impact on clinical management decisions. Currently, transthoracic echocardiography is …
Impact of Metabolite Supplementation to Restore Mitochondrial Dysfunction During Septic Shock: a Preclinical Study
Septic shock is defined as a subset of sepsis with severe metabolism alterations, leading to organ failure. Septic shock is associated with a high mortality, around 40% according to the SEPSIS 3 definition. Metabolic alterations are responsible for lactic acidosis, and results in mitochondrial dysfunction. This study aims at evaluate …
Interstitial Assessment of Architectural Heterogeneity in Prostate Cancer Using a Fine Needle Photoacoustic Probe
In this project, we will integrate the Photoacoustic (PA) technology into a prostate biopsy procedure through a fine needle probe. The needle probe will be in the shape of a biopsy needle and compatible with the needle insertion mechanism in the transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) probe. When inserted into the prostate, …
Improved Diagnosis of Ovarian Cancer by Use of Circulating Tumor DNA as a Biomarker
This project investigates circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in patients with suspected ovarian malignancy. We hypothesize that measurement of ctDNA in women with suspected ovarian cancer can improve the diagnostic efficiency for preoperative differentiation between benign and malignant masses. Specifically, we hope to determine the diagnostic efficiency of ctDNA alone and …
Monitoring of Metabolic Adverse Events of Second Generation Antipsychotics in a Naive Pediatric Population
Introduction: Second Generation Antipsychotics (SGAs) are widely used in the pediatric population. It is currently established that SGAs may induce undesirable metabolic adverse events (AEs) such as weight gain, metabolic changes in blood lipids or glucose with risk of potential cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The Canadian Alliance for Monitoring Effectiveness …
Development of a Wearable Point of Care Monitoring Device for Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Background Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) occurs when the blockage of the airway causes a person to stop breathing involuntarily for 10 seconds or more throughout the night during sleep. Pediatric OSA can be especially concerning and can have long-term effects. Researchers want to see how a monitoring device called near-infrared …
Quantitative MR Parameters in Non-myelopathic Degenerative Cervical Spinal Cord Compression: a Longitudinal Study.
Quantitative Magnetic Resonance Imaging Parameters as Predictors of Outcome for Non-Myelopathic Degenerative Cervical Cord Compression: A Longitudinal Study
World Trade Center Particulate Matter Induced Cardiorespiratory and Vascular Dysfunction: a MultiOmic Approach (CaRVD)
Particulate matter (PM) associated cardiorespiratory and vascular dysfunction (CaRVD) poses a significant global health burden. The World Trade Center (WTC) destruction on September 11, 2001 led to an intense deposition of particulate matter (WTC-PM) into aerodigestive system. WTC associated morbidities include respiratory, gastrointestinal, chronic rhinosinusitis, cancer, mental health concerns and …
Establishing a ctDNA Biomarker to Improve Organ Preserving Strategies in Patients With Rectal Cancer
This study measures the levels of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in patients with stage II-III rectal cancer before, during, and after treatment to find out if the presence or absence of ctDNA in patient's blood using the Signatera test can be used to gauge how different treatments may affect rectal …
A Study of Detection of Paroxysmal Events Utilizing Computer Vision and Machine Learning - Nelli
Nelli is a video-based non-EEG physiological seizure monitoring system. This study is a blinded comparison of Nelli's identified events to gold-standard video EEG review in at-rest pediatric subjects with suspected motor seizures.
