The goal of this 14-day randomized pilot trial is to assess the accuracy of a continuous ketone monitoring (CKM) system when compared to standard point-of-care capillary ketone monitors in individuals with type 1 diabetes on insulin pump therapy. The main question it aims to answer is: - Can a CKM system demonstrate equivalent ketone monitoring compared to a capillary ketone monitor with accuracy within a mean absolute difference of no more than ± 0.1 mmol/L. Participants will be asked to wear the SiBio KS1 CKM system for 14-days while undergoing two sequential ketogenic diets which are interspaced by an inpatient insulin-suspension period.

Over 18Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture is one of the most common musculoskeletal injuries in young individuals, particularly those that are active in sports. Up to 30% of individuals under the age of 20 years suffer a re-injury to the reconstructed ACL. Revision ACLR has been associated with degeneration of the articular cartilage and increased rates of meniscal tears, increasing the risk of post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA), additional surgical procedures, reduced physical function and quality of life. As such, strategies to reduce ACLR failure, particularly in young active individuals, are critical to improving short and long-term outcomes after ACL rupture. There is ongoing debate about the optimal graft choice and reconstructive technique. Three autograft options are commonly used, including the bone-patellar-tendon-bone (BPTB), quadriceps tendon (QT) and hamstring tendon (HT). Additionally, a lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET) may provide greater stability to the ACLR; however, its effect on failure rate is unclear and surgery-induced lateral compartment OA is a concern. To definitively inform the choice of autograft and the need for a LET, this multicenter, international randomized clinical trial will randomly assign 1236 young, active patients at high risk of re-injury to undergo ACLR using BPTB or QT autograft with our without LET.

14 - 25This two-arm, double-blind randomized clinical trial will recruit 172 generally healthy, low-risk pregnant individuals aged 19-42 years living in Vancouver, Canada. Participants will be randomized to receive one of two forms of iron (ferrous fumarate or ferrous bisglycinate) in addition to a prenatal multivitamin (without iron) daily during their pregnancy until delivery, with optional continuation until \~4 weeks postpartum for breastmilk sample collection. Blood samples will be taken at baseline (13-25 weeks gestation) and follow-up (35-37 weeks gestation) to assess how different forms of iron impact body iron stores. Stool samples will be obtained within 1 week of both baseline and follow-up visits to assess changes in gut microbiome composition. This research will inform more specific guidelines for optimal iron supplementation practices for the prevention and treatment of iron deficiency for both mother and baby.

Over 1The goal of this interventional clinical research study is to assess the efficacy of a 12-week precision exercise training intervention to improve exercise tolerance in sepsis survivors. The main question it aims to answer is does a 12-week precision exercise training program improve constant load exercise time in sepsis survivors? Participants will: * Answer questionnaires related to patient reported outcomes and give a blood sample * Perform a constant load exercise test * Complete 12-weeks (3 x per week, 36 session in total) of precision exercise training consisting of individualized, nonlinear periodized strength and aerobic exercise training. Researchers will compare the exercise group to an attention control group of sepsis survivors who do not receive exercise training but instead undergo usual care procedures and receive general lifestyle advice 1x per week.

Over 19CCI-001 is a novel colchicine derivative that is being developed by PharmaMatrix Holdings Ltd. (PharmaMatrix). The drug binds to tubulin, a component of the microtubule polymers which are required for a wide range of cellular processes, perhaps most importantly, cell division and mitosis. CCI-001 has been shown to bind more strongly to β-III tubulin, a tubulin subtype which is overexpressed in many cancers. This trial is being undertaken as a first-in-human, Phase I trial in patients with recurrent and/or metastatic solid tumours. Primary Objectives are to examine the compound's safety profile, and to determine the recommended dose. Secondary Objectives are to determine the compound's pharmacokinetic parameters and to evaluate the clinical response rate and survival. Expansion cohorts in in tumour types known to be sensitive to other approved agents with similar mechanism of action will be treated at the recommended dose: transitional cell bladder cancer, pancreaticobiliary adenocarcinomas, gynecologic cancers (ovarian, cervical, endometrial), and lung adenocarcinoma.

Over 18Total hip and knee replacements (TJR) for osteoarthritis are common orthopaedic procedures performed in Canada. Waits for these procedures are already common and lengthy, and the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in the further of delay of thousands of scheduled TJRs. Longer wait times for TJR can be associated with increased pain and functional disability, and up to 80% of patients awaiting TJR use opioids for pain management. Further, pre-operative pain, functional disability and opioid use has been linked to worse recovery and continued opioid abuse post-operatively. Interestingly, some clinical studies have shown that not all patients experience a deterioration in symptoms while on the waitlist for TJR, and a longer wait time is not always associated with poor post-operative outcomes. However, there is insufficient evidence surrounding the relationships between wait time, patient characteristics, and outcomes both prior to and following hip or knee replacement. The Investigators aim to establish a large prospective cohort of patients with osteoarthritis waiting for TJR with key research questions and the overarching objectives of identifying which patients deteriorate while on the waitlist, and how wait time affects patient-important outcomes following surgery. The study will enroll 3008 patients awaiting TJR at 10 Centres from across Canada. All participating site investigators are fellowship trained Orthopaedic surgeons, working in acute care facilities with active research programs and dedicated research staff. The study will follow the patients from their waitlist enrolment up to two years post-operatively. During this time, the research team will collect pain, function, opioid use, and quality of life measures at regular intervals. In addition, an economic analysis will be conducted to determine the impact of length of time on a waitlist on patient and healthcare system costs. The data will highlight the consequences of long waits for patients undergoing TJR, information that will improve patient care and provide insight for refining wait list policies.
