Our intent is to establish the International Registry to Improve Outcomes in Men with Advanced Prostate Cancer (IRONMAN) as a prospective, international cohort of minimum 5,000 men with advanced cancer, including men with mHSPC and M0/M1 CRPC. The goal is to establish a population-based registry and recruit patients across academic and community practices from Australia, Barbados, Brazil, Canada, Ireland, Jamaica, Kenya, Nigeria, Norway, Spain, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom (UK), and the United States (US). Target accrual number and number of participating sites are subject to change based on accrual, funding, and interest in participation by other international sites. This cohort study will facilitate a better understanding of the variation in care and treatment of advanced prostate cancer across countries and across academia and community based practices. Detailed data will be collected from patients at study enrollment and then during follow-up, for a minimum of five years. Patients will be followed prospectively for overall survival, clinically significant adverse events, comorbidities, changes in cancer treatments, and PROMs. PROMs questionnaires will be collected at enrollment and every three months thereafter. Physician Questionnaires will be collected from all participating sites at patient enrollment, time of first change in treatment and/or one year follow-up, at each subsequent change of treatment, and discontinuation of treatment. As such, this registry will help identify the treatment sequences or combinations that optimize overall survival and PROMs for men with mHSPC and M0/M1 CRPC. By collecting blood at enrollment, time of first change in treatment and/or one year follow-up (plasma, cell free DNA, buffy coat / RNA), this registry will further identify and validate molecular phenotypes of disease that predict response and resistance to specific therapeutics. Additionally, every effort will be made to collect blood specimen at each subsequent change in treatment due to progression of disease. When feasible, existing tumor tissue may be collected for correlation with described blood based studies. All samples will be used for future research. This cohort study will provide the research community with a unique biorepository to identify biomarkers of treatment response and resistance.

The investigators propose to evaluate the efficacy of MyoTrain AR in a prospective clinical study involving 10 individuals with trans-radial upper-limb loss over a period of 35 days. These individuals will be randomized to Group A (Control Group using conventional motor imagery exercises) and Group B (who will train with the MyoTrain AR system pre-prosthetically). The investigators will test the following hypothesis: Pre-prosthetic training with the MyoTrain AR system, as compared to the current standard of care with conventional motor imagery exercises, results in improved subsequent control stability with the prosthesis. Following a baseline functional assessment, participants will undergo a 30-day pre-prosthetic training period specific to their assigned Group. After this training period, participants will repeat the functional assessment. Participants will then receive their prosthetic device and occupational therapy consistent with the current clinical care standard, after which they will again undergo a battery of validated, clinical assessments.

Connective tissue diseases (CTD) are a group of diseases with diverse manifestations, most often multisystemic, which share an autoimmune etiology. They include Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), Systemic sclerosis (SSc), Sjögren's syndrome (SS), Inflammatory myopathies (IM) and Mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD). Many patients in rheumatology present signs and symptoms of CTD, but without meeting all the classification criteria for one of these diseases. These patients will generally receive a diagnosis of undifferentiated connective tissue disease (UCTD). It is increasingly suggested that there are two subgroups of patients with UCTD: one which will eventually evolve into a better characterized CTD (approximately 30% of patients at 5 years) and another with a more benign prognosis. The optimal management of patients with UCTD is not clearly established. Capillaroscopy is a diagnostic test used in the investigation of patients with CTD. It is a low-cost, non-invasive, rapid and specific test in the evaluation of this class of diseases. Its role is now well established in the diagnosis of SSc and in the investigation of Raynaud's phenomenon. In addition, capillaroscopy helps to identify patients suffering from CTD more quickly. Knowledge about the role of capillaroscopy in UCTD is more limited. It is established that a significant proportion of patients with UCTD present abnormalities on UCTD present non-specific abnormalities and 11% present a scleroderma pattern. In these patients, abnormal capillaroscopy seems to increase the risk of progressing to a better characterized CTD, notably SSc. However, although capillaroscopy is increasingly used in rheumatology in patients with CTD, more research is needed to clarify the role of this examination in UCTD. First, it is not established whether capillaroscopy should be performed in all patients with UCTD, nor when exactly it should be performed. There also remain questions about the impact of capillaroscopy on the prognosis and management of patients with this disease. To our knowledge, there is no prospective study that has addressed this question. The investigators hypothesize that in patients with UCTD, capillaroscopy compared to usual care makes it possible to increase the proportion of patients obtaining a diagnosis of better characterized CTD in the first six months of follow-up.

It is a phase I study of radical hypofractionation delivering one single fraction of SBRT in patients with low- and favorable intermediate-risk prostate cancer that will undergo placement of the SpaceOAR hydrogel prior to treatment. Our hypothesis is that treatments can be safely delivered in one single fraction using SBRT provided the separation between the prostate and rectum is increased using the hydrogel

Multiple myeloma is a disease mainly located in participants bones. Usually a participants physician arrives at this diagnosis by doing blood tests and ordering standard of care imaging tests (18F-FDG PET/CT and maybe additional MRI) to see how many bones (and/or other organs) are affected. While these two imaging tests are already very good, recent research indicates that even more precise imaging methods could be used to diagnose participants disease more precisely. The purpose of this study is to learn if a combined PET/MR scan with a new radiotracer, \[68Ga\]Ga-PentixaFor, can provide more accurate and precise diagnostic information in patients with Multiple Myeloma, a type of cancer primarily affecting the bones. This study aims to improve the accuracy of diagnosing and monitoring Multiple Myeloma using more advanced imaging techniques.

The activity of trastuzumab in early-stage, HER2-positive breast cancer, has been demonstrated in many studies, with meta-analyses showing that in combination with a variety of chemotherapy backbones, trastuzumab reduces the risk of recurrence by nearly half, and death by a third. However, treatment with trastuzumab can result in cardiotoxicity, including heart failure, as well as the significant cost of treatment and the requirement for patients to attend the chemotherapy unit for treatment every 3 weeks for one year. Therefore there has been increasing interest in identifying which patients can safely have less treatment. The investigators therefore propose a real-world, single arm, multicentre trial evaluating 6 months of HER2 targeted therapy, for patients with early-stage, HER2 positive breast cancer, who achieve a pathological complete response (pCR) with upfront systemic chemotherapy and HER2 targeted therapy.
