COVID Infection in Pediatric Surgical Patient
Children infected with COVID-19 are mostly asymptomatic. There is a dearth of data on the epidemiology of COVID-19 in the pediatric population. This is a prospective observational clinical study of pediatric surgical patients. COVID-19 rapid antigen testing will be performed on pediatric patients.
SuPA Mobility: Supporting Physical Activity for Mobility in Mobility-Limited Older Adults
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to investigate the effectiveness of a health-coaching intervention to improve physical activity in older adults with limited mobility when compared to a control, health education group.
Vascular Complications in Children From T1D Diagnosis
Cardiovascular disease is a complication of type 1 diabetes (T1D), a life-long disease, usually diagnosed in childhood. The goal of this project is to determine the timing and factors leading to vascular damage in children from T1D diagnosis.
Monitoring and Managing Glucose Levels in People With Pancreatic Cancer
This study will investigate whether or not it is feasible to closely monitor and manage glucose levels in people with pancreatic cancer. It will also investigate what impact glucose management may have on pancreatic cancer. This is a pilot study that will use continuous glucose monitors (CGM) to monitor glucose …
LSALT Peptide for Prevention or Attenuation of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) in Patients Undergoing On-Pump Cardiac Surgery
To evaluate the percentage of subjects with AKI within 7 days following on-pump cardiac surgery defined by the KDIGO (Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes) criteria: Increase in baseline (pre-surgery) serum creatinine (SCr) by ≥26.5 μmol/L (≥0.3 mg/dL) within 7 days; OR Increase in baseline SCr to ≥1.5 times baseline, which …
Impact of Blood Phobia on Fainting Susceptibility
The primary purpose of this study is to characterize cardiovascular autonomic function to emotional stimuli (blood-injection-injury phobia \[needle phobia\]) during an orthostatic (upright) challenge in individuals with and without known needle phobia. It is well established that emotional stress can produce hypotensive (low blood pressure) reactions. Interestingly, these hypotensive reactions …
Antibiotic Cement Bead Pouch Versus Negative Pressure Wound Therapy
The Beads vs Vac trial is a multi-centre randomized controlled trial of 312 participants with a severe open tibia fracture requiring multiple irrigation and debridement surgeries. Eligible participants will be randomized to receive either an antibiotic bead pouch or negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) for their temporary open fracture wound …
Postural Sway and Counterpressure Maneuvers for Pediatric Syncope
The investigators are interested in whether discrete counterpressure maneuvers, or muscle movements in the lower body, will boost blood pressure and cardiovascular control in children who faint. We will record cardiovascular responses to maneuvers of exaggerated sway, leg crossing, crouching, and gluteal muscle tensing in children who faint (N=20), as …
Strength After Elbow Fractures in the Elderly
Elderly patients strength and function, specifically the ability to rise from a seat after either operative or non operative treatment of an mayo type 2 olecranon fracture.
Ketamine Enhances Analgesia and Mood in Chronic Pain Patients
Most chronic pain patients have mood disorders. The mood disorders may improve with better analgesia produced by Ketamine injections. A prospective study of patients undergoing interventional pain therapy using Ketamine injections. Pre-injection and post-injection patient data is collected. Pain is measured using numeric pain rating scale, and change in pain …
