This will be a multi-centre randomized controlled trial, with London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC) as the lead site. Elderly patients with complex ankle fractures who meet the inclusion criteria and provide consent will be randomized (through a web-based randomization system) to one of the two treatment arms. One group (Group A) will receive primary ankle fusion, and the second group (Group B) will receive primary ankle open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). Patient important outcomes will be compared at one year post injury The Investigators have amended the study to include a second part for patients with less complicated but still unstable ankle fractures. In this part, patients will be randomly assigned to receive either a procedure called ORIF or another one called retrograde intramedullary fibular nailing.

This study is conducted in two phases. The phase 1 portion of the study evaluates the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D), and effectiveness of lurbinectedin monotherapy in pediatric participants with previously treated solid tumors. This is followed by the phase 2 portion, to further assess the effectiveness and safety in pediatric and young adult participants with recurrent/refractory Ewing sarcoma.

The purpose of this study is to understand how the brain responds to sounds and words, and how this response varies between individuals. The purpose if this study is to develop data set comparing the results from one individual with those from other members (a reference interval database of NeuroCatch® Platform 2) and to quantify the expected distribution across sex and age. NeuroCatch® Platform 2, is a medical device approved by Health Canada. The plan is to enroll 810 participants, the study includes screening for eligibility and one brain scan. The study is conducted at the Centre for Neurology Studies in Surrey, BC or at its satellite sites ( if required).

The Staphylococcus aureus Network Adaptive Platform (SNAP) trial is an International Multi-Centered Randomised Adaptive Platform Clinical Trial to evaluate a range of interventions to reduce mortality for patients with Staphylococcus Aureus bacteraemia (SAB).

The causes of neurodegenerative dementias such as Frontotemporal Dementia, Lewy Body Disease and Alzheimer's disease are still largely unknown. While the contribution of some genetic mutations and polymorphisms is associated with autosomal dominant patterns of inheritance of these dementias, in many cases, the specific causative mutation in these families is not yet identified. Further, in many patients, polygenic risk is thought to give rise to pathophysiologic changes, but which specific genes affect risk are largely yet unknown. By examining genotypes in patients that present to our Cognitive Neurology and Alzheimer's Research Clinic with suspected or confirmed neurodegenerative dementia, or have a history of a familial dementia, we aim to help identify and characterize genetic mutations or polymorphisms that give rise to neurodegenerative diseases.

Elderly patients strength and function, specifically the ability to rise from a seat after either operative or non operative treatment of an mayo type 2 olecranon fracture.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety of mRNA-3705 administered to participants with isolated methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) due to methylmalonyl-coenzyme A mutase (MUT) deficiency who have previously participated in other clinical studies of mRNA-3705.

The goal of this observational study is to test the effects of a type of noninvasive brain stimulation called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) on visual processing in adults with body dysmorphic disorder symptoms when combined with modifying visual attention. The main goals are to understand, in people with body dysmorphic disorder and people with subclinical body dysmorphic disorder: * The effects of intermittent and continuous TMS stimulation of parietal brain regions when done right before visual attention modulation on brain functional connections. * The effects of intermittent and continuous TMS stimulation of parietal brain regions when done right before visual attention modulation on global/holistic visual perception. Participants will receive one type of TMS (intermittent or continuous) followed immediately by an fMRI brain scan during which they will view images of their faces. On the second day, they will do the same, but receive either the intermittent or continuous TMS stimulation that they did not receive on the first day.

Chronic pain may cause psychological or behavioral problems. Chronic pain patients occasionally harass the pain care providers. The COVID-19 pandemic caused major stress for the general population. Quantitative and qualitative analysis of prospective electronic and clinic diary data. Evaluation of incidents of clinic staff harassment; caused by patients, before and during COVID pandemic. Analysis of causative factors, incident outcome and lessons learned.

Patient handling is a major risk-factor for the development of musculoskeletal injuries in healthcare providers. To have a significant impact on injury reduction related to patient handling will require the incorporation of technology. This project is to investigate a piece of technology that has been designed to facilitate in-bed patient handling: The Vendlet. The purpose of this research project is to assess the ability of the Vendlet system outfitted on a Span-America Medical Systems (SAMS) bed to reduce the physical load on healthcare providers performing patient handling tasks. This evidence-based outcomes will be used to support the mitigation of the Vendlet from the European market into the Canadian market. The SAMS bed is currently available in North America and has several adjustable features to support patient transfer activities. The project will provide a biomechanical comparison of commonly used patient handling techniques performed using a SAMS bed outfitted with and without a Vendlet patient transfer device. This Vendlet technology has the potential to significantly reduce the musculoskeletal and joint strain of healthcare providers while handling patients.
