Non-ablative Oligofractionated Radiation Therapy Before Surgical Transplantation As Radiovaccination
This is a prospective phase I study to determine the safety and feasibility of non-ablative oligofractionated radiation therapy (NORT) before lung transplantation for patients with underlying pulmonary malignancy. We hypothesize that heterogeneous dose distributions could generate a vaccination effect against the tumor by creating anti-tumoral immune response in the body …
MR-guided Focused Ultrasound Plus GCase
The goal of this study is to establish safety and feasibility of intracerebral delivery of GCase via MRgFUS. This technique may offer potential benefits given the exposure of the putamen to GCase in animal models has been shown to be efficacious in improving Parkinson's disease pathology and phenotype.
A Intervention for Reducing Sedentary Behaviour Among Prostate Cancer Survivors
This randomized controlled trial (RCT) will aim to examine the effect of a 12-week behavioural intervention on changing the sedentary behaviours (SB) of prostate cancer survivors (PCS) compared to a control group (FitBit-only group). PCS in the intervention group will receive a FitBit and 6 behavioural support sessions with a …
Cannabis for Chronic Headaches in Adolescents: the CAN-CHA Trial
Chronic headaches are a major cause of disability among adolescents. Cannabis products have supported the management of headaches in adults and may play a role in pediatric chronic pain. We propose a multisite, open-label, tolerability study conducted across three centers in Canada of Cannabidiol-enriched Cannabis Herbal Extract in adolescents (ages …
Cone-beam CT Guided Microcoil Localization of Pulmonary Nodules During Video Assisted Thoracic Surgery(VATS)
The Guided Therapeutics (GTx) program at the University Health Network is a network of clinicians, scientists, and engineers focused on the development and translation of image-guided technologies focused on minimally-invasive, adaptive therapies. Technologies developed within the GTx program include a portable intra-operative cone-beam CT (in collaboration with Siemens) that has …

Feasibility of Reducing Respiratory Drive Using the Through-flow System
Mechanical ventilation can lead to diaphragm and lung injury. During mechanical ventilation, the diaphragm could be completely rested or it could be overworked, either of which may cause diaphragm injury. Mechanical stress and strain applied by mechanical ventilation or by the patient's own respiratory muscles can also cause injury to …
Study to Investigate an Association Between Brain Activity and Tidal Volume in Humans (BATMAN)
The communication between the lungs and the brain has drawn a lot of attention recently. Animal studies have shown that the breathing cycle is coupled with brain activity, showing that the greater the volume of air delivered to the lungs via a breathing machine greater the brain activity and also …
CLinical Evaluation of ANtiseptic Skin Preparation in Revision Total Joint Arthroplasty of the Hip and Knee
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two types of solutions (chlorhexidine gluconate-alcohol solution or povidone-iodine solution) that help eliminate harmful bacteria on the skin at the time of surgery. The main outcome of interest is: • the need for re-operation for a wound complication or an infection …
