Using Rectal Hydrogel Spacer for Salvage SABR in Prostate Cancer
There are several single institutional series that have reported their experience with salvage radiotherapy options that include EBRT, LDR and HDR brachytherapy. Gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity with salvage radiotherapy range between14-58%, respectively for patients undergoing re-irradiation. There is a concern for an increased risk of fistula development in these patients who …
Addressing Depression and Positive Parenting Techniques (ADAPT)
Children with emotional and behavioural difficulties (EBD) experience disproportionate social, family and academic impairment and have between two to five times increased likelihood of developing an anxiety disorder, mood disorder or other severe mental illness in adolescence and adulthood. There is a close association between parental depression and the emergence …
Time Restricted Eating and Cardiac Rehabilitation
This study will use a form of intermittent fasting called time-restricted eating (TRE) where individuals consume ad libitum energy intake within a set window of time, commonly 8 hours, which induces a fasting window of 16 hours per day (i.e., 16:8 TRE). TRE could be an effective addition to cardiac …
Intensive Care Unit Resident Scheduling Trial
Many patients, doctors and others worry that tired doctors provide worse patient care, may not learn well and become burnt-out. In response to these concerns, some countries changed their laws to limit work-hours for doctors in training ('residents'). In Canada, most residents work six or seven 24-30h shifts each month. …
Biofeedback for Hemianopia Vision Rehabilitation
Patients with brain injury secondary to stroke, surgery, or trauma frequently suffer from homonymous hemianopia, defined as vision loss in one hemifield secondary to retro- chiasmal lesion. Classic and effective saccadic compensatory training therapies are current aim to reorganize the control of visual information processing and eye movements or, in …
Study of IDE196 in Patients With Solid Tumors Harboring GNAQ/11 Mutations or PRKC Fusions
This is a Phase 1/2, multi-center, open-label basket study designed to evaluate the safety and anti-tumor activity of IDE196 in patients with solid tumors harboring GNAQ or GNA11 (GNAQ/11) mutations or PRKC fusions, including metastatic uveal melanoma (MUM), cutaneous melanoma, colorectal cancer, and other solid tumors. Phase 1 (dose escalation …
Partial Breast Re-irradiation Using Ultra Hypofractionation (PRESERVE)
Breast-conserving surgery followed by re-irradiation with partial breast irradiation (rPBI) has recently been found to be a safe alternative to mastectomy for women who have undergone prior whole breast radiation. By reducing the volume of tissue receiving radiation, rPBI has been associated with less toxicity and improved cosmetic outcomes. For …
Exercise as a Primer for Brain Stimulation in Vascular Cognitive Impairment No Dementia (VCIND)
People with vascular conditions are at risk of having memory problems, and these memory problems increase the risk for further cognitive decline. Brain stimulation has been used to improve mood and memory. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is believed to work best on brain cells that are active or "primed" …
Metabolic Imaging of the Heart Using Hyperpolarized (13C) Pyruvate Injection
The prevalence of congestive heart failure (CHF) in Canada is high, representing one of the health care system's most expensive diagnoses. Despite major advances in medicine, the mortality and morbidity from CHF remains great. Currently, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used for non-invasive imaging of the cardiovascular system to enable …
The Role of Stereo-tActic BoDy RadIotherApy iN Oligo-Progressive MalignanT Disease
Systemic therapy is the main treatment for patients with metastatic cancers. Oligo-progression has become a recognized entity for metastatic cancer and it is thought that a subset of cancer cells may develop heterogeneity and resistant clones while receiving systemic therapy. This results in overall tumor response but progression in metastatic …
