Deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS) is a brain stimulation technique that involves generating a brief magnetic field in a coil that is placed on the scalp. The magnetic field passes through the skull and induces a weak electrical current in the brain that briefly activates neural circuits at the stimulation site. The Brainsway dTMS H7-Coil is able to target an area of the brain that has been shown in studies to be linked to greater resilience to cognitive decline. In this study, the investigators will combine dTMS with cognitive training in older adults with subjective cognitive decline (SCD) and examine the effect of this treatment on memory, other cognitive abilities, and mood. In addition, the investigators will examine the combined effects of dTMS and cognitive training on brain activity as measured using electroencephalography (EEG). Approximately 30 older adults from ages 55 to 70 with SCD and a positive family history of Alzheimer's disease will be enrolled in this study.

10 - 16The goal of this study is to improve the prognosis of patients who present with Status Epilepticus (SE). In the first part of this study, the investigators aim to find better markers of good and poor outcomes of SE patients while in the ICU. The objective is to measure the levels of brain protein micro-particles that are detectable in blood samples. The investigators seek to determine whether elevated levels of micro-particles in the bloodstream in SE patients can be used to predict the eventual outcome of survivors. The goal of the second part of the study is to evaluate long-term cognitive outcomes in survivors of SE To date, there is no reliable information to inform what cognitive recovery is like for survivors of SE after ICU discharge. The objective is to use the Creyos cognitive testing platform to assess different domains of cognitive function for up to 1 year after SE onset. Patients who have pre-existing epilepsy but have not had status epilepticus will serve as patient controls for the cognitive testing portion of this study. The third part of this study will evaluate brain changes in survivors of refractory SE. To date, there are no known studies that document to what extent the anatomy of the brain changes following SE. The objective is to characterize these changes by conducting two brain research scans 6 months apart. Patients will be invited to Robart\'s Research Institute for a scan 1-3 months and 6-8 months (6 months apart) after refractory SE to measure structural and functional changes in the brain throughout the recovery process.

The efficacy and safety of the combination is then compared to standard of care carboplatin and pemetrexed in the same populations.

Over 18The main objective of this randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to investigate whether a multimodal prehabilitation intervention combining a mixed-nutrient supplement with structured exercise training (MM) or the supplement alone (NUT), against a placebo (CTRL), leads to improvement in functional capacity and postoperative outcomes in surgical patients with lung cancer, at nutritional risk. This will be tested in a single centre RCT of 3 parallel arms, double-blinded for the supplement. Female and male participants (n=168, \>=45 y) will be randomized to a 10-week intervention spanning 4 weeks pre-surgery and 6 weeks post-hospital discharge. The primary outcome is functional capacity as measured by the 6-minute walk test. Secondary outcomes include muscle mass, quality and strength, quality of life, length of hospital stay, and postoperative complications.

18 - 70The 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.
