Optimizing the Treatment Strategy for Age-related Macular Degeneration
The purpose of this study is to compare two different treatment protocols for wet macular degeneration; the new protocol called "Observe and Plan" against the current standard protocol "Treat and Extend". Studies suggest that patients achieve equally good visual acuity with fewer controls and that they are more satisfied with …
Pediatric Caudal Injection Volume on Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter and Cerebral Oxygenation
Caudal anesthesia is a commonly used neuraxial anesthesia method for children. Injection of a certain volume of fluid into the epidural space for cauda anesthesia may push some cerebrospinal fluid towards the head, which may lead to mild increase of pressures inside the head. Such mild changes are compensated well …
Targeting Risk Factors for Diabetes in Subjects With Normal Blood Cholesterol Using Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Every 3 minutes a new case of diabetes is diagnosed in Canada, mostly type 2 diabetes (T2D) increasing the risk for heart disease. T2D and heart disease share many common risk factors such as aging, obesity and unhealthy lifestyle. Paradoxically however, while lowering blood LDL, commonly known as "bad cholesterol", …
Lutetium-177-PSMA-I&T in Oligo-metastatic Hormone Sensitive Prostate Cancer
Radioligand therapy (RLT) using Lutetium-177 labelled PSMA is a promising new therapeutic approach to treat metastatic prostate cancer. This tumor-specific treatment is directed against prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), which is overexpressed in prostate cancer cells. In the last few years, several lutetium-177 (177Lu, emitter) labeled PSMA ligands have been …
A Study With Pembrolizumab for Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)
This study is a randomized, national multicenter clinical study which is designed to compare the efficacy of the safety and efficacy of treatment every 3 weeks or 6 weeks in (Non-small-cell-cell cancer, NSCLC) subjects without systematic treatment who used Pembrolizumab after 6 cycles of combined chemotherapy estimated with stable efficacy …
Using Advanced Imaging Studies to Develop a Profile of High-grade Serous Ovarian Cancer
The researchers are doing this study to find out whether the researchers can combine information provided by PET/MRI scans with information from tests on blood and tissue samples to develop a very detailed description (profile) of high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC), which could improve our ability to treat this disease. …
18F-DCFPyL PET/CT Impact on Treatment Strategies for Patients With Prostate Cancer
The main purpose of this phase II trial study is to determine whether a positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) scan using 18F-DCFPyL affects the clinical management plan in Veterans. In this study, the management plan prior to and after 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT will be recorded by specific questionnaires and corresponding …
Aspirin Resistance and Stroke Risk: Platelet Function Analysis in Patients With Ischemic Events
The purpose of this study is to determine if PFA results correlate with ischemic event outcomes as well as bleeding complications. Hypothesis is antiplatelet agents will be more efficacious if they are administered in a dose-adjusted manner using PFA results as a guide.
Prediction of Clinical Course in COVID19 Patients
In the context of the COVID19 pandemic and containment, chest CT is currently frequently performed on admission, looking for suggestive signs and basic abnormalities of COVID19 compatible viral pneumonitis pending confirmation of identification of viral RNA by reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction(PCR), with a reported sensitivity of 56-88% in the first …
