The treatment consists of tumor ablation by Ablathermy Focused Ultrasound (USF), guided by MRI, performed under local anesthesia and sedation.

To study in two cross-sections of healthy volunteers, with single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), the possible changes generated in the mid-term by two rehabilitation techniques: the postural reconstruction and the muscular stretching. The changes in the cortical act…

The purpose of the present Phase 1 study was to assess the cardiac safety of Staccato Loxapine administered to healthy volunteers in a 3 period crossover study.

The project aims to precisely quantify the postprandial amino acid utilization of egg proteins in vivo in humans, and also to assess their satiating power, in relation with nutrient postprandial waves and incretin secretions. For that purpose, 2 independent studies are conducted.…

Drug pharmacokinetics of antimicrobial agents is significantly altered in the burn patients. Additionally, burn patient population exhibits a wide inter- and intrapatient variation in drug handling. Several investigations carried out in burn patients treated with e.g. fluconazole…

This project seeks to measure the effectiveness of a course in self-management strategies (including yoga, mindfulness, and breathing exercises). The course will be provided by a certified yoga instructor to patients being followed at the Pain Management Centre, Hamilton Health S…

Background: \- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies provide important information on the structure and function of various body systems, including the brain, muscles, joints, heart, and blood vessels. Scientific applications of MRI scans often use techniques that need to be …

The purpose of this study is to optimize clinical MR protocols and to validate MR acquisition parameters.

There are receptors to free glutamate in the oral cavity and stomach that may mediate effects of this amino acid on gastrointestinal physiology. The investigators hypothesize that a chronic supplementation of monosodium glutamate (MSG) could modulate gastric emptying and the furt…

Low dose of aspirin is the main cause of gastro-duodenal ulcer. The best prevention is not definite particularly in patients without history of ulcer and infected by H. pylori.The aim of the study is to evaluate the gastric damage induced by aspirin in patients with H. pylori inf…

Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a well-known complication of antipsychotic drug therapy in individuals treated for mental disorders such as schizophrenia. It typically consists of purposeless, involuntary movements involving the mouth area or the trunk and limb muscles, occurring with…

The purpose of this study is determine the agreement of point of care (POC) clotting tests (INR and aPTT) by the POC device by Hemochron Jr versus standard laboratory clotting tests (INR and aPTT) in patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery.

The purpose of this pilot study is to compare the antimicrobial efficacy of silver nanoparticle gel to a commercialized alcohol-based hand gel on bacterial counts isolated from the hands of 40 volunteers seeded with Serratia marcescens, a surrogate microbial marker. Specific aims…

During general anesthesia, airway closure and the formation of atelectasis impair oxygenation. During one-lung ventilation, large tidal volumes are used to resume atelectasis with a risk of regional over distension and Ventilator-Induced Lung Injury (VILI). The reduction in TV sh…

The purpose of this study is to see if the addition of budesonide to oral corticosteroids will result in a decrease in relapse rates compared to oral corticosteroids alone in children who are discharged from the ED after an asthma exacerbation. Secondly, that there will be an imp…

The Hematology Branch of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute is doing a variety of laboratory research experiments that require blood and tissue samples from healthy volunteers. This protocol provides a mechanism for collecting these tissue samples. Research includes st…

The objective of this study was to explore the efficacy, dose-response and safety of PG201 tablet in Korean patients with osteoarthritis.

This is a study to assess the safety and effectiveness of endovascular treatment of aortic aneurysms involving the proximal aortic arch. The investigational operation involves placing a stent-graft over the aortic aneurysm.

Tolvaptan oral administraction phase I PK clinical trial. Two groups of healthy male subjects. One group receives single dose of Tolvaptan. The other group receives multi dose of Tolvaptan.

Hydrolysis of dietary protein may impact their gastrointestinal kinetics and further metabolism. The primary goal of this work was to measure the metabolic fate of intact or hydrolyzed protein using a protein of good nutritional quality, i.e., casein. A second aim of this study w…
