Postural Sway and Counterpressure Maneuvers for Pediatric Syncope
Recruiting
The investigators are interested in whether discrete counterpressure maneuvers, or muscle movements in the lower body, will boost blood pressure and cardiovascular control in children who faint. We will record cardiovascular responses to maneuvers of exaggerated sway, leg crossing, crouching, and gluteal muscle tensing in children who faint (N=20), as well as their height, weight, muscularity, and pubertal (Tanner) stage. Autonomic cardiovascular control will be measured using a Valsalva manoeuv... Read More

A Parent-child Yoga Intervention for Reducing Attention Deficits in Children with Congenital Heart Disease: a Feasibility Study
Recruiting
The proposed study aims to determine the feasibility of the procedures for a future full randomized controlled trial (RCT), which will test the efficacy of a parent-child yoga intervention in reducing attention deficits in children with congenital heart disease (CHD). Specific aims of this single-blind, two-arm, two-center feasibility trial are to evaluate recruitment rates and capacity, withdrawal and dropout rates, adherence to the intervention, acceptability of the randomization process by fa...

Duration of Face Down Positioning for Full-Thickness Macular Hole Repair
Recruiting
A full-thickness macular hole is when there is a small gap that opens in the center part of the retina (the light-sensitive layer of tissue in the back of the eye). Following surgical repair of these holes, patients have to lie face down for a number of days and nights. The exact amount of time necessary to position is however unknown. The goal of this randomized feasibility clinical trial is to compare 3 days and nights of face-down positioning to 7 days and nights of face-down positioning foll... Read More

Quality of Labour Epidural Analgesia With Intrathecal Morphine as a Component of Combined Spinal Epidural
Recruiting
Neuraxial analgesia has shown to be the gold standard for effective labor pain relief, offering numerous benefits including enhanced pain control and maternal satisfaction. The methods to achieve neuraxial analgesia include lumbar epidural (LE), and combined spinal epidural (CSE). While LE may not consistently provide optimal pain relief, leading to frequent maternal requests for supplemental analgesics, CSE presents a promising advancement. This is due to the rapid onset of pain relief from int... Read More

The Patient AS EDUcator in Anesthesia: Exploring the Patients' Experience During and After Unexpected Cesarean Delivery Under General Anesthesia to Inform Anesthetic Practice
Recruiting
This study aims to explore the patients' and providers' perspectives and inform future anesthetic practice for patients undergoing unexpected cesarean delivery (CD) under general anesthetic (GA). The consideration of patients' concerns, preferences, expectations, and suggestions may lead to enhanced patient satisfaction, compliance, and quality of care that future patients receive during unexpected CD under GA. The investigators will possibly be able to identify gaps in procedural performance th... Read More

NSCLC Liquid Biopsies and Exhaled VOC
Recruiting
The objective of the study is to determine the feasibility of recruiting participants and using sputum, Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and exhaled Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) in addition to blood, as biological samples for detecting mutations in extracted cell-free DNA in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, before and after surgery, and any recurrence within a 24-month postoperative follow-up period. This is a pilot feasibility study, proposed as a 24-month prospective, single-cente... Read More

Melanoma Margins Trial-II: 1cm v 2cm Wide Surgical Excision Margins for AJCC Stage II Primary Cutaneous Melanoma
Recruiting
Patients with a primary invasive melanoma are recommended to undergo excision of the primary lesion with a wide margin. There is evidence that less radical margins of excision may be just as safe. This is a randomised controlled trial of 1 cm versus 2 cm margin of excision of the primary lesion for adult patients with stage II primary invasive cutaneous melanomas (AJCC 8th edition) to determine differences in disease-free survival. A reduction in margins is expected to improve patient quality of... Read More

Mindfulness-Based Interventions for OCD
Recruiting
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a severe and debilitating anxiety disorder afflicting about 2% of the population. It is characterized by the presence of recurrent obsessions and/or compulsions that are time consuming and cause marked distress and/or impairment. Untreated, OCD runs a chronic and deteriorating course. According to the World Health Organization, OCD is among the top 10 leading causes of disability worldwide. Examination of non-medicinal treatments for OCD has focused on two... Read More

Respiratory Outbreak Mitigation in Long-Term Care Using Point-of-Care Testing
Recruiting
Outbreaks of seasonal respiratory viruses can spread rapidly in long-term care homes. Timely results for diagnostic tests remains a challenge for respiratory viruses due to the logistics of using a reference laboratory with delays leading to missed opportunities to implement virus-specific control measures to interrupt transmission resulting in larger outbreaks. Use of a point-of-care testing platform is a potential solution that provides faster results, but it is uncertain whether this translat... Read More
