Physician- vs Questionnaire-Based Screening for Psoriatic Arthritis in Psoriasis
Early diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) requires close collaboration between dermatologists (as the skin manifestations of psoriatic disease in most cases precede the musculoskeletal manifestations) and rheumatologists (who are usually responsible for the final diagnosis of PsA and treatment of the musculoskeletal manifestations). Previous epidemiological studies suggest that there may …
Bootle Blast: Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial
One in 500 Canadians has cerebral palsy (CP), a lifelong condition affecting movement and function. Physical and occupational therapies greatly benefit children with CP but can be costly and difficult to access. Children, parents, and clinicians are interested in using movement-tracking video games for home-based hand/arm therapy. Yet, the technologies …
Menstrual Cycle vs. Oral Contraceptives: Effects on Muscle Protein Metabolism After Resistance Exercise
The muscles of the body are constantly breaking down old proteins and building new ones. These two processes, protein breakdown and protein synthesis, together are known as protein turnover. Protein turnover is essential for maintaining healthy muscle. Despite its importance, females have historically been underrepresented in protein metabolism research. A …
The Genetics Navigator: Evaluating a Digital Platform for Genomics Health Services
Genetic testing (GT) (including targeted panels, exome and genome sequencing) is increasingly being used for patient care as it improves diagnosis and health outcomes. In spite of these benefits, genetic testing is a complex and costly health service. This results in unequal access, increased wait times and inconsistencies in care. …
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for Nicotine Dependence: An Effectiveness-Implementation Trial
Tobacco smoking is the leading preventable cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. However, currently available treatments, including standard pharmacotherapy and behavioural support, are limited in their efficacy, tolerability, and acceptability by patients. Additionally, tobacco use is substantially higher in individuals with comorbid mental illness, constituting a particularly vulnerable population. As …
Micro-ultrasound-Guided Focal Laser Ablation for Intermediate-Risk Prostate Cancer: Safety & Effectiveness
This clinical research study is intended to show that Micro-Ultrasound Guided Focal Laser Ablation (MicroUSgFLA) is a safe procedure that can significantly postpone or eliminate the need for patients with intermediate-Risk prostate cancer (PCa) to undergo a definitive treatment (i.e., Radical Prostatectomy or Radiation Therapy) for their disease.
tDCS as Treatment for Motor Function
Previous preliminary results are sufficiently impressive to suggest that tDCS stimulation does have the potential to improve motor function when that ability is trained during stimulation. In the proposed study, the investigation will assess whether walking sessions combined with tDCS lead to improvements in motor function: gait, articulation, eye gaze, …
Magnetic Seizure Therapy for Schizophrenia - Trial
This trial aims to assess the clinical effects and tolerability of Magnetic Seizure Therapy (MST) as an alternative to electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) for Treatment Resistant Schizophrenia (RS).
Interaction Between White Potato Consumption and Meal Timing on Glycemic Response and Appetite in Adults
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the interaction between white potato consumption and meal timing on glycemic response, subjective appetite, and energy intake in adults. The investigators hypothesize that white potatoes will modulate glycemic response, enhance satiety, and mitigate subsequent meal consumption and overall food intake when compared …
Alternative Physical Activity Strategies for Breast Cancer Survivors
The primary aim of this study is to compare the acute glycemic effects of two novel, alternative physical activity (PA) strategies (dispersed post-meal PA, PA snacks) to a no PA condition and to exercise sessions representing the PA guidelines (standard 30-minute walking bout performed under fasting and under postprandial conditions …
