While many have strongly suggested that transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) may represent a beneficial intervention for patients with primary progressive aphasia (PPA), this promising technology has not yet been applied widely in clinical settings. This treatment gap is underscored by the absence of any neurally-focused standard-of-care treatments to mitigate the devastating impact of aphasia on patients' family, work, and social lives. Given that tDCS is inexpensive, easy to use (it is potentially amenable to home use by patients and caregivers), minimally invasive, and safe there is great promise to advance this intervention toward clinical use. The principal reason that tDCS has not found wide clinical application yet is that its efficacy has not been tested in large, multi-center, clinical trials. In this study, scientists in the three sites that have conducted tDCS clinical trials in North America-Johns Hopkins University and the University of Pennsylvania in the US, and the University of Toronto in Canada, will collaborate to conduct a multi-site, Phase II clinical trial of tDCS a population in dire need of better treatments.

The purpose of the proposed study is to broaden our understanding on the neural effects of High Definition Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (HD-tDCS) so that its clinical effects can be further improved.

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety of PTC923 in participants with phenylketonuria, and to evaluate the changes from baseline in dietary phenylalanine (Phe)/protein consumption.

Nearly all cervical cancers are caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV), which can be detected in cancer tissue by laboratory tests. There is evidence that the virus can also be detected from a blood sample to monitor the effects of treatment. Previous studies have shown that a special test called 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET-CT) at 3 months after treatment may predict survival in cervical cancer. The purpose of this study is to see how well the FDG-PET Scan and blood tests for HPV can detect leftover cervical cancer cells after treatment. This study is not a particular form of treatment and patients will receive standard of care treatment.

The goal of this study is to evaluate if admission to the Mental Health Virtual Ward (MH vWard) for mental health crisis stabilization is having a meaningful positive impact on patient reported outcomes and healthcare utilization. The objectives of this study are: 1. Prospectively measure demographic, recovery, service delivery, and systems use outcomes in a cohort of MH vWard admissions. 2. establish this cohort for use in future research. As part of the intervention, participants will receive care in the MH vWard for an average of 5 days following a visit to an emergency department or crisis centre for a mental health crisis. While admitted to the MH vWard, participants will: 1. Engage in individual therapy and care planning with a clinician or psychiatry team. 2. Have engagement with formal (community providers) and informal supports (family, friends) for collateral and collaboration. 3. Receive medication reconciliation and management. 4. Participate in group programming. 5. Receive referrals for follow-up services. 6. Have access to after hours support. 7. Have access to the Telus Home Health Monitoring (HHM) App, which is custom designed to complement the services provided by the program.

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is an enzyme that plays an important role in removing triglycerides (TG) (molecules that transport dietary fat) from the blood. Patients with LPL deficiency (LPLD) display during their whole life very high plasma TG levels often associated with episodes of postprandial abdominal pain, malaise, blurred vision, dizziness (hyperchylomicronemia syndrome) that may lead to recurrent pancreatitis episodes. Because of their very slow clearance in blood of their chylomicron-TG, these patients need to severely restrict their dietary fat intake to avoid these complications. Fortunately, novel treatments are being developed to circumvent LPL deficiency (LPLD) metabolic effect on chylomicron-TG clearance. However, there is no data on how LPLD affect organ-specific dietary fatty acid metabolism nor how the novel therapeutic agents may change this metabolism. For example, it is currently not understood how subjects with LPLD store their DFA into adipose tissues and whether they are able to use DFA as a fuel to sustain their cardiac metabolism, as healthy individuals do. This study aims to better understand theses two questions.

There are several single institutional series that have reported their experience with salvage radiotherapy options that include EBRT, LDR and HDR brachytherapy. Gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity with salvage radiotherapy range between14-58%, respectively for patients undergoing re-irradiation. There is a concern for an increased risk of fistula development in these patients who receive second course of radiation. Hypofractionation using SABR has been utilized in the re-irradiation setting for prostate cancer with good tumor control and toxicity outcomes. In order to decrease the rectal toxicity, dose to the rectum should be kept as low as possible. Several techniques can be used to achieve this: tighter dosimetric dose painting, better patient or organ immobilization or use of a biodegradable gel. The Investigators ropose a phase I study to assess placement of a hydrogel spacer between the prostate and rectum, in an effort to decrease toxicity and improve patient's bowel quality of life.

The proposed study is a phase II, single arm, open-label trial of MR-guided radiation therapy (RT) with risk stratified RT dose selection in patients with anal cancer. Based on previous data, a risk adaptive treatment approached is proposed in 4 groups: Low risk, standard risk, intermediate risk, and high risk. Human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA will be analyzed to identify novel biomarkers that predict chemoradiotherapy (CRT) response and toxicity.

The goal of this open-label, placebo-controlled, dosage escalation study is to learn about the safety of a Cannabis/Hemp Isolate Extract in normal healthy adults engaged in elite contact sport competition. The main question it aims to answer is: • Are cannabis/hemp-based products with high CBD safe, well-tolerated and without adverse physiological and psychological dysfunction, when administered on a daily basis? Participants will: * be given CBD and a placebo. The placebo will be taken for 2 weeks prior to starting the CBD. Participants will start on a low dose of CBD, beginning at 5 mg CBD/kg body mass, which will be increased by 5 mg/kg every 2-weeks until 30 mg CBD/kg body mass is taken; * have blood samples taken to analyse how much CBD is used in the body and for how long it lasts in the body (pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics); * have saliva samples collected for genetic analysis; * undergo testing sessions, which will include psychological and health questionnaires, equipment to record signals from the brain and heart, and safety laboratory tests.

The purpose of this Phase I non-therapeutic trial is to examine the neurological effects of cannabis on stress reactivity and inhibition in healthy cannabis users. We expect differences between high ratio CBD:THC cannabis oil, low ratio CBD:THC cannabis oil, and/or placebo on outcome measures.
