Effect of Canagliflozin on Ultrafiltration & Fibrosis in Patients on Peritoneal Dialysis
This is a phase II, proof-of-concept, placebo-controlled, double-blind, cross-over randomized clinical trial, assessing the effect of canagliflozin on peritoneal membrane function in patients on PD. The primary aim of this trial is to determine the short-term effects of canagliflozin, an SGLT-2 inhibitor, on glucose absorption by the peritoneal membrane and …
Analysis of Inflammatory Biomarker Changes in Dry Blood Spot Versus Venous Blood Samples
The purpose of this study is to see whether dried blood spot (DBS) samples can measure inflammatory biomarkers as accurately as venous blood samples. Investigators will be measuring inflammatory biomarkers changes obtained in DBS compared with paired venous blood samples following a controlled physiological stressor (i.e. after a vaccine or …
Comparison of Non-Invasive Mean Arterial Blood Pressure Measurements at the Arm and Ankle During Elective Cesarean Delivery.
This observational study aims to compare mean arterial pressure measurements obtained using an ankle blood pressure cuff with those obtained using a standard upper-arm cuff in pregnant individuals undergoing elective cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia. The primary objective is to determine the level of agreement between the two measurement sites.The …
Virtual Reality for Post-Stroke Gait Rehabilitation
The goal of this clinical trial is to: (1) implement and test the feasibility of a new VR-ODT intervention offered as part of usual therapy time of patients with a sub-acute stoke; (2) explore the acceptability of the intervention from the perspective of clinicians and patients and; (3) implement measures …

The Pain Reduction Using Immersive Virtual Reality During Wound Care Evaluation Study at Maimonides (PRISM) - Pilot Study
This study will test whether immersive virtual reality (iVR) can reduce pain and discomfort during wound care for residents living in long-term care (LTC). Pressure ulcers are common and painful among older adults, and dressing changes often cause additional distress. Up to 20 residents at the Donald Berman Maimonides Geriatric …
Protocol for Rapid Onset of Mobilization in Patients With Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury II (PROMPT-SCI II) Trial
Spinal cord injuries (SCI) are among the most catastrophic survivable events experienced by human beings. Affected individuals remain with lifelong neurological impairment involving motor, sensory, bladder and bowel functions, which in turn impacts quality of life and independence. Currently, patients have no access to exercise therapy for weeks to months …
Palliative Steroeotactic Body Radiotherapy vs Palliative Standard Radiotherapy in Patients With Advanced Head and Neck Cancer
This study is being done to answer the following question: Does stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) provide better cancer control compared to standard radiation therapy (RT) for those with advanced head and neck cancer?
Colchicine to Quench the Inflammatory Response After Deep Vein Thrombosis (The Conquer-DVT Pilot Trial)
This trial seeks to assess the feasibility of a full-scale, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial assessing whether low-dose colchicine (0.5 mg daily) reduces the risk of post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) in patients with proximal lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
REnin-guided TherApy With MinEralocorticoid Receptor Antagonists in Primary Aldosteronism - Feasibility Study
High blood pressure, or hypertension, can be caused by a condition called Primary Aldosteronism (PA), where the body produces too much of a hormone called aldosterone. People with PA have a higher risk of heart problems compared to those with regular high blood pressure. To treat PA, some patients need …
