Breast-conserving surgery followed by re-irradiation with partial breast irradiation (rPBI) has recently been found to be a safe alternative to mastectomy for women who have undergone prior whole breast radiation. By reducing the volume of tissue receiving radiation, rPBI has been associated with less toxicity and improved cosmetic outcomes. For many women with early-stage breast cancer, shorter 1-week (5-fraction) courses of breast radiation (ultra-fractionation) have been found to be equivalent to longer fractionation schedules in the upfront treatment setting. These 1-week schedules are more convenient for patients, with fewer treatments and shorter overall treatment time. The investigators hypothesize that a 1-week ultra-hypofractionated rPBI regimen following breast-conserving surgery (BCS) for local recurrence or new primary breast cancer in the previously irradiated breast (LR) will be associated with acceptable toxicity at 1 year (\<13% grade \>3 toxicity).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of ARO-DUX4 in participants with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy Type 1 (FSHD1). In Part 1 of the study, participants will receive one dose of ARO-DUX4 or placebo. In Part 2 of the study, participants will receive 4 doses of ARO-DUX4 or placebo. Participants who complete Part 1 will have the option to re-screen and re-randomize into Part 2. All participants will undergo pre- and post-dose MRI-guided muscle biopsies (a total of 2 biopsies). Participants who complete Part 1 and enroll in Part 2 will be required to undergo an additional screening biopsy. Participants completing Part 1 or Part 2 may have the option to continue to receive drug in an open-label extension study or may be eligible to participate in later-stage clinical studies.

The objective of this pathway is to establish and evaluate a novel Indigenous-led patient navigator (IPN) program for Indigenous adolescents living with chronic health conditions in Maskwacis, Alberta. Over the last three years a community-based participatory research partnership was developed with Elders and community members from Maskwacis, Maskwacis Health Services, and researchers from the University of Alberta. Previous research identified the need for an IPN to support Indigenous young adults and their caregivers in managing their health conditions transitioning into adulthood and transferring from pediatric to adult healthcare. The aim of partnership now is to evaluate whether a community-derived IPN program co-designed with an established group of Maskwacis Elders, Knowledge Keepers, healthcare providers, caregivers and youth with lived experience can aid in improving the experience of transitioning into adult healthcare services for Indigenous youth and their families living in Maskwacis, Alberta.

This is an observational longitudinal study to determine the natural history and genotype-phenotype correlations of disease causing mutations in Charcot Marie Tooth disease (CMT) type 1B (CMT1B), 2A (CMT2A), 4A (CMT4A), and 4C (CMT4C). The investigators will also be determine the capability of the newly developed CMT Pediatric Scale (CMT Peds scale) and the Minimal Dataset to measure impairment and perform longitudinal measurements in patients with multiple forms of CMT over a five year window

Skin boosters are treatments designed to improve skin quality and restore skin health. Some of these treatments are based on polynucleotides, which are small fragments of DNA. One such compound, called Polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN), is obtained from fish sources such as salmon or trout. PDRN has shown regenerative and anti-inflammatory properties, and in medical practice it has been used to support wound healing, scar improvement, and skin rejuvenation by helping with elasticity, texture, and fine lines. VAMP™ ADVANCED Multivitamin Serum is a topical formulation that contains PDRN along with amino acids, vitamins, and peptides. It is designed to improve hydration, elasticity, and overall skin radiance. While early data suggest potential benefits, clinical research is still limited, and further study is needed.

This study will look at whether females who have previously had breast surgery and radiation and are undergoing repeat breast surgery require any post operative interventions. The reason the investigators are conducting this study is because females who have undergone breast radiation are at higher risk of wound complications following breast surgery. The investigators will randomize recruited female participants into three arms, one which is post operative antibiotics for one week, one which is a wound VAC, and one which is no intervention. The investigators goal is to identify whether these patients will require any postoperative interventions.

The PREPARE Pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) is a multi-center, parallel, blinded RCT that aims to assess the feasibility of a full RCT comparing preoperative very low energy diets (VLEDs) to standard of care prior to elective non-bariatric surgery for obese patients in terms of overall 30-day postoperative morbidity. Adult patients with body mass indices (BMIs) greater than 30 kg/m2 will be randomized 1:1 to receive 3-weeks of preoperative VLED plus preoperative weight loss counselling or preoperative weight loss counselling alone. This trial will enroll patients to assess recruitment, compliance, and follow-up completion to assess the feasibility of a full RCT powered to assess for differences in 30-day postoperative between VLEDs and standard of care arms.
