Cessation of Somatostatin Analogues After PRRT in Mid, Hind-Gut and Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumours
Neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) are slow growing cancers, which commonly present as metastatic incurable disease. Some neuroendocrine tumours, termed functional NETs, overproduce hormones which result in a variety of symptoms. However, approximately 75% of NETs are considered non-functional meaning that they do not result in hormone overproduction. The main treatment for …
Evaluating Tetrahydrocannabinol as an Adjunct to Opioid Agonist Therapy
This pilot study will evaluate the feasibility and safety of using 1:1 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC):Cannabidiol (CBD) cannabis oil as an adjunct therapy to methadone-based Opioid Agonist Therapy (OAT) for individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD) in a community setting.
Streamlined Treatment of Pulmonary Exacerbations in Pediatrics
The STOP PEDS RCT is a multicenter, parallel, open label randomized controlled trial evaluating the long-term (one year) and short-term safety and efficacy of two antibiotic treatment strategies for the management of outpatient pulmonary exacerbations (PEx) in the pediatric CF population.
The Use of Ultrasound Detection of Lipohypertrophy to Improve Glycemic Control
Lipohypertrophy is swelling of the fatty tissue located below the skin ("subcutaneous tissue") where many patients with diabetes inject their insulin. Lipohypertrophy can sometimes be felt as firm swelling, lumps or small bumps near insulin injection sites.

Pediatric Outcomes and Recovery With Peri-Operative Iron Supplement Evaluation
Varus-derotation osteotomy (VDRO) is a surgery to prevent or address hip displacement in children. Many children having this surgery have cerebral palsy or other neuromotor disorders, who have a higher rate of malnutrition, including low iron or anemia. This can affect their surgical outcomes, such as increasing their need for …

β2-Agonists, commonly used to treat asthma, have also been used by athletes to enhance performance, leading to their ban by the International Olympic Committee in 1972. Research has shown non-asthmatics receive no benefit from these drugs at therapeutic dosages; however, many elite athletes still use them, and asthmatic athletes often …
HELP Study - Towards High Throughput and Efficient Long-axial PET With Oral [18F]FDG
Typically, PET scans involve an IV injection of 18F-FDG that helps identify cancer. Patients are scanned 60 minutes after injecting 18F-FDG. This study aims to assess the feasibility of a different method of administration - oral ingestion (rather than IV) of 18F-FDG through delayed imaging to identify the optimal time …
