In addition, all participants agreeing to participate in the study will be asked to will their brains to The Krembil Neuroscience Centre Concussion Project at the Toronto Western Hospital with the consent and full knowledge of their …
Host Response to Infection and Treatment in Filarial Diseases
This study will evaluate and treat patients with filarial infections to explore in depth the immunology of the disease, including susceptibility to infection, disease development, and response to treatment. Filarial infections are caused by parasitic worms. The immature worm (larva) is transmitted to a person through a mosquito bite and …
Neurocognitive Outcomes After Whole Brain Radiation Therapy for Hematologic Malignancies
This study assesses neurocognitive outcomes after receiving radiation therapy to the brain (whole brain radiation therapy) in patients with blood cancers (hematologic malignancies). This may help researchers learn more about the effects of whole brain radiation therapy on memory and thinking in patients with blood cancer.

Ultrahigh-frequency Ultrasonography (UHFUS) in Detection of Small Pulmonary Ground Glass Opacity (GGO)
The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of UHFUS on detection of GGOs in excised lung tissue and investigate UHFUS features of GGO in vitro. Each GGO was detected by palpation, UHFUS and open biopsy in sequence. The comparison of detection rate and time consumption were analyzed …
Pre-operative Screening of Functional Fragilities Before Open Aortic Surgery: a New Area
Aneurysmal or occlusive abdominal aortic pathology has seen its prevalence increase over the years despite the various cardiovascular risk factor management campaigns deployed. Currently, a large proportion of these aortic pathologies require effective and definitive treatment by open surgery. In fact, minimally invasive endovascular treatment, which can provide good results …
