Therapeutic Plasma Exchange in Septic Shock: A Pilot Study
The investigators propose to conduct a multi-center randomized pilot feasibility trial comparing therapeutic plasma exchange to standard of care in patients diagnosed with septic shock.
Intra-Operative Adductor Canal Blocks
Adductor canal blocks (ACB) have been recommended in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) to provide better control of post-operative pain, facilitate early ambulation, and reduce length of stay in the hospital. ACB is typically done before surgery by an anesthesiologist, which may increase time per case, cost, and requires the specialized …
The ALOFT Pilot Trial
The ALOFT Pilot Trial will evaluate three pragmatic elements (recruitment, adherence, and follow-up) of neuraxial versus general anesthesia for lower limb revascularization surgery that are necessary to support a successful, large-scale evaluation. We will concurrently use implementation science methodology to further refine processes for the larger trial. The future full …
Improving Strength and Balance Through Exercise With LudoFit
The goal of this mixed methods cohort study is to explore how an innovative game-based, technology-enabled home exercise software compares to a conventional home-based exercise program in older adults at risk for falls. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: Does the exercise software lead to better or similar …
Cold Versus Room Temperature Storage of Platelets for Bleeding in Hematologic Malignancy - a Pilot Trial
This is a pilot trial to discover the feasibility of recruiting 50 pts over the course of 12 months. The trial is testing the efficacy of using cold-stored vs. room temperature stored (current standard of care) platelets to treat bleeding in persons with hematological disorders and thrombocytopenia.
Early Genomic Testing for Inherited Bleeding Disorders
The investigators aim to test the introduction of genomic testing early in the diagnostic pathway for inherited bleeding disorders in patients who have not received a diagnosis after first-line testing. The goal of this clinical trial is to test the introduction of genomic testing early in the diagnostic pathway for …
Efgartigimod in IVIG Dependent Myasthenia Gravis Patients
This study is an open label, single center, prospective, 26 weeks study with descriptive analysis where IVIG is replaced by efgartigimod therapy. MG-ADL and MGQOL evaluations will occur weekly throughout the study to week 26.
Identifying the Limits of Survivability in Heat-exposed Older Females
Climate change increases extreme heat events, elevating global heat-illness risk. Females have reduced heat loss capacity (~5%) compared to males, driven by differences in skin blood flow and sweating responses. While findings on sex-mediated mortality are mixed, some studies suggest older females (≥65 years), face higher heat-related mortality/morbidity risks, evidenced …
Personalized Hypoglycemia Outpatient Treatment - a Feasibility Study
This study will offer two study interventions designed to bring on a mild low blood sugar (capillary blood glucose result 3.0 to 3.8 mmol/L), in order to study the effectiveness of each study participant's personal choice of treatment and first recheck time. The two study interventions that the participant can …
The Impact of Wearing the Hijab on Whole-body Heat Loss During Exercise-heat Stress
The hijab (headscarf and cloak) is a Muslim dress, which covers the head, neck and chest, and conceals the female hair, leaving the face uncovered. It is worn by Muslim women worldwide including young Muslim women engaging in sports and exercise. As with any clothing worn on the body, the …
