This is a longitudinal study of the long-term health impact of e-cigarette smoking on the lungs. Participants will be followed over a period of 5 years, and impacts of e-cigarette smoking on the lungs will be measured with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using hyperpolarized xenon-129 gas, pulmonary function tests, exercise capacity, computed tomography images and questionnaires.

This is an open-label, multi-center, phase 1b study designed to determine a tolerable dose of CX-5461 administered by IV infusion on Day 1 and Day 8 of a 28-day cycle in patients with selected solid tumours and associated mutations for future Phase II trials. The safety and tolerability of CX-5461, preliminary evidence of antitumor effect and the effect of CX-5461 on the Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) will also be evaluated. The study will also evaluate the predictive value of mutational signatures and explore the significance of dynamic changes in ctDNA levels and plasma DNA methylome profiling in this study's exploratory cohort.

The purpose of this study is to test the impact of Healing Circuits™; a structured mental health support model on IBD patients. The eligible study participants will be randomly divided into two groups: 1. the group receiving structured mental health support with a social worker and 2. the group receiving structured mental health support via a self-directed online curriculum. Both groups will be receiving the same type of therapy, Healing Circuits™, but the group receiving the therapy via the online self-directed curriculum will be receiving the therapy mostly by web-based video instruction. The two groups will be evaluated over a period of 12 months.

The main goal of CaNICM is to create a central database that includes a biobank and an imaging data repository for patients with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM), as well as for at-risk family members. This includes people who carry rare genetic variants linked to NICM but do not show symptoms, and first-degree relatives. The specific goals of this database and biobank are to: Enhance investigators' ability to predict the risk of heart rhythm disorders in patients with NICM. Optimize the timing and approach for screening family members who may carry the disease - determining who to test, when, and how. Find the best ways to treat family members early to prevent or slow the disease. Future Phase - Phase 2 Goal: 4\. Prospectively evaluate how well this risk prediction model works in real-life clinical settings, and compare it to the current approach, which is often based on a single risk factor.

Penile Inversion Vaginoplasty (PIV) is a transition-related surgery (TRS) that is associated with severe postoperative pain. The optimal pain management strategies for this surgery remain unknown. We hypothesized that the addition of a saddle block with intrathecal morphine would yield clinically important analgesic benefits.

The goal of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of using a regular menstrual tampon or a Uresta pessary to reduce urine leakage associated with running-induced stress urinary incontinence (RI-SUI) in females aged 18 and older. Secondly, the study aims to assess whether either intervention mitigates transient changes in pelvic morphology that occur following a single running bout. Lastly, we aim to evaluate whether participants continue using either intervention during running over the 4-week period following their in-lab participation. The hypotheses are: Hypothesis 1: Among females with RI-SUI, both a tampon and pessary used during a single running bout will reduce urinary leakage symptoms, with greater symptom reduction observed when using the pessary. Hypothesis 2: Participants will report high satisfaction and perceived symptom improvement with both the tampon and pessary, with higher satisfaction and greater improvement reported for the pessary. Hypothesis 3: Both the tampon and pessary will reduce pelvic floor strain incurred by the end of the run, as evidenced by less bladder neck descent, levator plate lengthening, and levator hiatus area increasing relative to that observed when no tampon or pessary is used. Hypothesis 4: A greater proportion of participants will report continued use of the pessary compared to the tampon over the 4-week post-lab period, with higher frequency of use and fewer reported discontinuations. We will perform within-subject comparisons against baseline values to determine the effect of each intervention on RI-SUI symptoms and pelvic organ support. Participants will complete a baseline questionnaire to collect demographic information and assess incontinence severity. They will then attend three laboratory visits within a 10-day period. At each visit, bladder volume will be standardized to between 100 and 200mL, then the participant will undergo three-dimensional (3D) transperineal ultrasound imaging conducted in a standing position. Following imaging, participants will complete a treadmill protocol consisting of 25-minutes running at a moderately difficult pace (rated at 13 - 14 on the Borg Perceiver Rate of Exertion scale), followed by 5 minutes of running at a higher intensity pace. During the run, participants will be asked at 5 minute intervals whether they experienced any urine leakage and to report their perceived amount of leakage. The ultrasound image protocol will be repeated immediately after the run. Participants will be allowed to keep the pessary and will be contacted 4-weeks after the final visit to evaluate whether or not they continued use of a tampon or the pessary, and, if so, we will ask them to report their satisfaction with the intervention(s) they used.
