Maitake for Integrative Cancer Care
Maitake is an edible mushroom that is used for both its nutritional and medicinal properties. Human and animal studies have shown Maitake may help improve immune function; however, its effectiveness in people with cancer is not clear. The investigators aim to measure if Maitake has any immunomodulatory effects when given …
Autologous Hair Follicle Derived Secretome as Adjunct to Aesthetic Procedures
Non-interventional, multi-site, prospective, open-label, observational, real-world study of autologous hair follicle secretome use.
The Diaphragmatic Initiated Ventilatory Assist (DIVA) Trial
DIVA is a pragmatic randomized clinical trial (RCT) to determine: among (P) preterm infants born 23 0/7-28 6/7 weeks gestation undergoing extubation from mechanical ventilation, whether (I) Non-invasive neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NIV-NAVA) (C) compared with Non-synchronized nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NS-NIPPV), will reduce the incidence of (O) extubation …
Ultrasound Imaging and Spectroscopy as Early Indicators of Locally-Advanced Breast Cancer Response
This work explores the possibility of using ultrasound imaging and spectroscopy as a way of monitoring cell death, hence, tumour response to treatment. The hypothesis here is that it can be used as a way of monitoring early response to cancer treatment and predicting which patients continue on in their …

CAPTURE ALS is a long-term data and biorepository platform that will facilitate future ALS research. CAPTURE ALS will provide the standardized systems and tools necessary to collect, store, and analyze vast amounts of multimodal information about ALS. These multimodal datasets and biosamples will be made available for use by researchers …
2 Ablative RadioTherapy Treatments for Prostate Cancer
Favorable-risk prostate cancer represent a large proportion of patients diagnosed with prostate cancer and image guided radiation therapy (IGRT) is commonly used to treat these patients using protracted courses of up to 39 treatments over 8 weeks. Stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR) protocols hold the promise of more convenience, less …
SBRT vs. Conventional Fractionation With HDR Boost for Prostate Cancer
Random assignment between SBRT and conventionally fractionated boost following HDR brachytherapy for prostate cancer.
Intravitreal Topotecan in the Repair of Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment with Proliferative Vitreoretinopathy
Intravitreal topotecan has anti-inflammatory, anti-proliferative and anti-fibrotic activity that we hypothesize may exhibit high efficacy for the treatment of proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) in patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). A high efficacy for intravitreal topotecan has been exhibited in cell cultures of PVR. At the same time, intravitreal topotecan has …
Oropharyngeal Exercises to Treat Obstructive Sleep Apnea
The goal of this study is to determine whether a randomized controlled trial using oropharyngeal exercises to treat sleep apnea is feasible. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the standard therapy for Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), but it is poorly tolerated by many patients. Oropharyngeal exercises (OPEs) which are commonly …
Tele-rehabilitation in Chronic Respiratory Disease: an Observational Cohort Study
Pulmonary rehabilitation is a program that helps people with lung disease improve their function. It uses exercise, education, and self-management strategies to improve physical ability and quality of life. Because some people are unable to visit West Park Healthcare Centre, we established a remote supervised pulmonary rehabilitation program that patients …
