Liver Disease, Myocardial Fibrosis and Collaterals in the Adult Fontan Patient a Metabolomics and Proteomics Approach
Out objective is to identify the mechanisms that promote hepatic and myocardial fibrosis, and collateral vessel formation in patients with complex congenital heart disease and Fontan circulation.
Genomic Profiling in Recommending Treatment for Patients With Metastatic Solid Tumors
This research trial studies using genomic profiling to recommend anticancer treatment to patients with cancer that has spread beyond the original site of the tumor (metastatic cancer). Genomic profiling studies the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of a tumor to detect genetic changes or abnormalities. This information can then be used to …
Interstitial Assessment of Architectural Heterogeneity in Prostate Cancer Using a Fine Needle Photoacoustic Probe
In this project, we will integrate the Photoacoustic (PA) technology into a prostate biopsy procedure through a fine needle probe. The needle probe will be in the shape of a biopsy needle and compatible with the needle insertion mechanism in the transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) probe. When inserted into the prostate, …

The overall aim of this observational study is to investigate how individual differences influence the effects of mindfulness meditation to uncover for whom mindfulness is beneficial and for whom it may be harmful. The first objective is to identify the mechanisms underlying the effects of mindfulness meditation on mental health. …
MRI Based Biomarkers in Pediatric Autoimmune Liver Disease
Autoimmune liver diseases (AILD), which include Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC) and Autoimmune Hepatitis (AIH) are a common etiological factors for chronic liver disease among adolescents. In all these conditions, autoimmune lymphocyte responses are thought to orchestrate inflammatory injury against hepatocytes (primarily in AIH) or cholangiocytes (in PSC). In this proposal …
Investigating the Tumour Immune Response of Radiotherapy
This study aims to investigate immune changes which occur before and following standard radiotherapy in a range of tumour types. We will collect tissue and blood samples before and after radiation treatment from participants across six cancer types: cervical, rectal, Head and Neck cancer, nodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma, cutaneous lymphoma and …
Corticosteroid Injection Effectiveness in Carpel Tunnel Patients With Negative or Mild EMG Studies
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is the most common nerve entrapment syndrome worldwide. There are currently no studies examining the effectiveness of corticosteroid injections in patients with normal (negative) EMG studies. The purpose of this study is to gain a better understanding of the duration of symptom improvement post corticosteroid injection …
Respiratory and Cardiovascular Alterations in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major cause of disability and death worldwide. People with COPD often have cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) that are associated with increased risk for hospitalization and prolonged stay as well as all-cause and CVD-related mortality. Nevertheless, CVDs in patients with COPD are tend to be …
