Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) enables assessment of regional lung ventilation at the bedside. EIT has been safely used in newborn infants to image intrathoracic lung volume patterns as early as from the first minute of life. This prospective single-centre observational st…

Telecare consultation, which is defined as a two-way synchronized visual (voice and image) communication between patients and healthcare professionals using telecommunication applications such as Zoom, has become a major trend in recent years. The current COVID-19 pandemic provid…

The etiology of tourniquet pain is complex, and the study team hypothesizes that blocking with Interscalene brachial plexus block (ISBPB) is more efficient in decreasing the incidence of tourniquet pain in comparison with other techniques. As there is a paucity of studies that e…

Antibodies are the primary mediators of the protection against infection provided by vaccination. Antibodies become most powerful after the B cells that produce them undergo an evolutionary process called affinity maturation, in which antibodies increase their ability to bind to …

The purpose of this study is to clinically validate new measures of the Personal KinetiGraph® (PKG®).

The purpose of this study is to describe and compare the kinematic deficiencies specifically associated with each of the 3 main clinical phenotypes of patellofemoral pain syndrome. The prevalence of patellofemoral pain is high with a high rate of chronicity and recurrence and an …

This study explores the associations between maternal stress, breastmilk composition, and feeding and neurodevelopment for preterm infants in the NICU and at 4 months corrected age.

Aging is an independent risk factor for developing hypertension and cardiovascular disease; however, the mechanisms underlying age-related cardiovascular disease remain poorly understood. One hallmark of aging is an increase in sympathetic nervous system activity, which can decre…

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the quality of the performance of opportunistic salpingectomies in women scheduled for adnexectomy. The main questions it aims to answer are: * How many salpingectomies are incomplete? * Are there any factors related to incomplete resec…

Coronary revascularization, such as heart bypass surgery (CABG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI \[inserting a stent to open up blood vessels\]) improve survival for people with coronary artery disease. Yet, many patients suffer from poor physical and mental health aft…

The aim of this study was to investigate whether individualized PEEP application improves respiratory function and reduces the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) in patients undergoing laparoscopic total hysterectomy. Investigators hypothesized that individ…

This is a phase 2 research study that enrolls adult subjects with Nonseminomatous Germ Cell Tumors (NSGCT). The purpose of this study is to create a repository and explore the presence of modified T cells in the subject's plasma or tumors. This study collects biospecimens (such …

The purpose of this study is to investigate the behavioral and neural correlates of stress exposure. Results from this study will enrich the understanding of how sociocultural, behavioral, and neural factors combine to influence alcohol use.

As the occurrence of thrombosis in post surgery is rare, it seemed difficult to study only this one. This is why we decided to test the bioimpedance, temperature and green, red and infrared light absorption measurements of the prototype during the weaning of the flap during surge…

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of a permanent embolic (Embosphere Microspheres) for embolization of the geniculate artery for the treatment of moderate to severe knee osteoarthritis.

This is a non-interventional primary use of data study utilizing de-identified patient-level onboarding and adherence data managed through the MSGo patient support service platform and includes a sub-study to explore the impact of ofatumumab on relevant patient reported outcomes …

There is great interest in improving cognitive performance and eye health as working from home becomes more prominent. Working from home as well as stress in the workplace is an increasing problem. Students and work professional can therefore benefit from improved attention and t…

The morbidity of recurrence of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and minimal change disease (MCD) after transplant is well-recognized and include contemporary reduction in quality of life, edema, early graft loss and mortality. Efforts to understand its mechanisms and imp…

Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) is a disorder characterized by itching, elevated fasting serum bile acids ≥10μmol/L (and elevated serum transaminases), with increased risks of perinatal complications, including spontaneous preterm labor, fetal distress, infant respira…
