The purpose of this open-label study is to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacokinetics of WVE-006 in participants with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) following Period 1 single ascending dose (SAD) and Period 2 multiple ascending doses (MAD), respectively.

EXCEL will provide online and, where feasible, in-person exercise programs to individuals living with and beyond cancer (ILWBC). Research has shown that targeted programs that include tailored exercise prescriptions are more successful in helping individuals with chronic disease to incorporate physical activity and exercise into their daily routines. While ILWBC are advised by healthcare professionals (HCPs) to engage in exercise, there is a lack of cancer-specific exercise programs and cancer-trained exercise specialists in Canada, outside of the research setting. Considering the negative impact cancer and its treatments have on fitness and physical activity levels, community-based efforts towards improving access, uptake and maintenance of exercise programming are needed. This study will evaluate the benefits of a community-based or online EXCEL exercise program for people living with and beyond cancer across Canada, using a streamlined intake process compared to the original EXCEL Study (HREBA.CC-20-0098, NCT04478851). This 8 to 12-week program (intervention) will be delivered in-person or over virtual platform. It includes twice weekly supervised exercise classes.

Agitation and aggression impose a tremendous burden on the individuals living with dementia, their families, caregivers, and healthcare systems. Neuropsychiatric symptoms of dementia (NPS) affect up to 80% of patients with Alzheimer's dementia (AD). The mechanisms of agitation in AD are poorly understood and the current interventions are only modestly effective while having serious adverse effects. In this study, the investigators propose to assess the mechanisms and treatment of neuropsychiatric symptoms in AD with the use of non-invasive, brain stimulation approaches. By applying magnetic stimulation to the surface of the head (transcranial magnetic stimulation - TMS) combined with electroencephalography (EEG), the investigators will be able to study the mechanisms of agitation and advance our understanding of AD. Further, the investigators will evaluate if transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is effective to treat agitation dementia.

The goal of this non-pharmacologic interventional study is to learn if Oscillatory Positive Expiratory Pressure (OPEP) therapy can improve disease impact and respiratory system dynamics in patients with COPD. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is OPEP therapy able to improve the impact of cough symptoms as measured on a validated symptom score? Is OPEP therapy able to improve the properties of the lung (called reactance) as measured by oscillometry? Researchers will compare the results of the same tests performed before and after 4 weeks of OPEP treatment to see if OPEP treatment improves cough symptoms and lung mechanics. * Participants with COPD will complete in-person baseline tests and will then receive the smart OPEP device. * These participants will then use the smart OPEP device at home, at least twice a day, for 4 consecutive weeks. * Finally, these participants will return to complete in-person end-of-study tests.

The goal of this pragmatic trial is to provide Real World Evidence (RWE) on the impact of the result of a polygenic risk prediction test of cardiorenal complications of T2D, so that more patients at high risk of these complications achieve over an 18 months period, recommended therapeutic targets. This will be demonstrated as a significant improvement in a composite value including HbA1c or systolic blood pressure (SBP) or albuminuria (UACR), or glomerular filtration rate (GFR) lowering. Researchers will compare the recommended therapeutic targets of uninformed and informed patients to see if the knowledge of the risk by the patients and their treating physicians improves achievement of these targets. Participants will: Have a saliva sampling to determine the genetic risk. Visit the clinic once every 3 months for checkups and tests Answer two questionnaires on quality of life.

The aim of this study is to investigate the pregnancy, delivery, neonatal, and epilepsy outcomes in individuals with epilepsy undergoing pregnancy at the Maternal and Infant Health Programs at the University Health Network - Sinai Health and followed for epilepsy at the Toronto Western Hospital Epilepsy Clinic. In particular, we are interested in the association between following recommended epilepsy management guidelines for pregnant individuals with epilepsy and those aforementioned outcomes.

Upper tract urothelial cancer (UTUC) is cancer in the lining of the kidney or ureter (the tube that drains the kidney). This type of cancer is rare and as a result, there are only a few studies that have looked at it. Standard of care for UTUC would be surgery followed by chemotherapy (adjuvant chemotherapy). However, we know from studies that have looked at cancer of the lining of the bladder, which is a similar cancer in many ways, that treating people with chemotherapy before surgery (neoadjuvant chemotherapy) can lead to longer survival compared to the standard of care. There are no studies to show this in UTUC. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is thought to help improve survival by treating any cancer that may have spread from the original tumour but that is not visible yet on scans. This study would be the first clinical trial in Canada to evaluate the use of chemotherapy before surgery in this disease setting. Since UTUC is rare, the purpose of this study is to determine if it is possible to enrol enough patients to a trial looking at the use of chemotherapy before surgery.
