Many people with high-risk opioid use visit emergency departments (EDs), facing a high risk of death if they leave before completing care. Peer support workers (Peer) - people with lived experience of substance use - may improve patient comfort, reduce early departures, and potentially lower mortality rates. This study aims to evaluate how a hospital-implemented ED Peer program can enhance patient support, reduce barriers to care, and provide harm-reduction resources in a person-centred and trauma-informed manner. The study will also validate the outcome and obtain preliminary estimates of the benefits of decreasing patients who leave the ED before completing care.

Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor commonly used to reduce stomach acid in the treatment of heartburn, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and gastric ulcers. By blocking the H⁺/K⁺-ATPase pumps in the gastric lining, it raises gastric pH and can alter the normal activation of pepsin, the enzyme responsible for beginning protein breakdown in the stomach. Under normal conditions, dietary proteins are denatured by gastric acid and cleaved by pepsin into smaller peptides. These peptides enter the small intestine, where pancreatic enzymes (trypsin, chymotrypsin) and brush-border peptidases (aminopeptidase, dipeptidase) further hydrolyze them into free amino acids that are absorbed into the bloodstream. Suppressing stomach acidity may allow larger peptides to pass into the intestine, potentially reducing the efficiency of amino acid liberation and absorption. In this randomized, crossover study, adults aged 50-60 years will attend two study visits at least one week apart. In one visit they will take a standard dose of omeprazole before consuming a mixed meal with a fixed protein content; in the other visit they will consume the same meal without medication. Blood samples will be collected before the meal and at multiple time points afterward to measure plasma amino acid concentrations and compare postprandial responses. Older adults experience anabolic resistance, meaning they require higher protein intakes to stimulate muscle protein synthesis effectively. If omeprazole reduces amino acid availability after a meal, individuals taking this medication may need adjusted dietary protein recommendations. Findings from this study will help refine nutrition guidelines for people on proton pump inhibitors and support optimal muscle health and recovery in middle-aged and older adults.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of sonrotoclax as monotherapy and in various combinations in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) multiple myeloma (MM) and chromosomal translocation t(11;14). The study investigates sonrotoclax alone and in combination with dexamethasone and other agents, including carfilzomib, daratumumab, and pomalidomide.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Zanidatamab plus CisGem (Cisplatin and Gemcitabine) with or without the addition of a programmed death protein 1/ligand-1 (PD-1/L1) inhibitor (physician's choice of either Durvalumab or Pembrolizumab, where approved under local regulations) as first line of treatment for participants with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive biliary tract cancer.

The aim of this clinical trial is to examine the feasibility of an enhanced vital sign monitoring solution in-hospital and at-home. This study includes adult patients undergoing inpatient major vascular or abdominal surgery. Researchers will compare the enhanced vitals monitoring group to the standard of care group to see if it may change post-operative management and outcomes. The primary question it aims to answer is if enhanced monitoring of surgical patient vitals can increase the number of days at home alive in the first 30 days after surgery. Participants in the intervention group will test two vitals monitoring devices, one in the hospital and one at home. They will also be asked to complete several questionnaires and a follow up phone call.
