Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is an aggressive and rare cancer of a type of immune cells (a white blood cell responsible for fighting infections) and the most common type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Follicular Lymphoma (FL) is a slow-growing type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The purpose of this study is to assess the real-world effectiveness of subcutaneous epcoritamab in adult participants with advanced DLBCL and FL. Epcoritamab is an investigational drug being developed for treating participants with DLBCL and FL. Approximately 700 participants will be enrolled in approximately 80 sites across 12-20 countries globally. Participants will receive epcoritamab as prescribed by their physician in accordance with local country label. Participants will be followed for up to 3 years. There is expected to be no additional burden for participants in this trial. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic according to their routine clinical practice.

Post-surgical biliary leaks are relatively common after surgeries associated with hepatobiliary health. Left untreated, biliary leaks can lead to significant morbidity. Biliary leaks are most often successfully managed endoscopically, by way of performing an ERCP (endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography) procedure. These procedures help manage the bile leak by decreasing pressure at the opening of the common bile duct and promoting bile flow into the small bowel (rather than out the leak) via stent insertion. Guidelines published by the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) report that stents are generally placed for 4 to 6 weeks and recommend longer intervals for more complex leaks. However, formal recommendations concerning the modality of biliary stent removal do not exist. One option is performing a repeat ERCP when removing the stent. While comprehensive, this exposes the patient to additional radiation, and requires additional fluoroscopy resources and/or technicians. Furthermore, ERCPs are less available, especially in smaller centers, and are costly. A second option is a gastroscopy with simple stent removal has, given the low probability of requiring repeat intervention, the relatively low procedural cost, and the relatively favorable adverse event profile, and easier accessibility compared to ERCP procedures. A simple, safe and reliable prediction rule was developed retrospectively to identify patients in whom biliary stent removal via gastroscopy could be safely performed, as opposed to repeat ERCP. A positive result using the rule requires satisfaction of four non-invasive clinical markers: (1) a normal post-surgical serum alkaline phosphatase value, (2) bile leak 'type C' at initial ERCP (a small or absent leak with no other biliary pathology), (3) a bile leak caused by laparoscopic cholecystectomy, and (4) a time between initial and follow-up endoscopy of 4 to 8 weeks. Validating this prediction rule prospectively could have implications on patient safety by decreasing ERCP-related adverse events, and could also have important implications with regard to health resource utilization.

The main objective is to evaluate the FreeO2 device combined with noninvasive respiratory support technique for COPD patients and postoperative bariatric surgery patients. The main hypothesis is that FreeO2 device for oxygen therapy associated with NIV or nasal high flow oxygen therapy (NHFOT) allows to reach better oxygenation and avoid hypoxemia and hyperoxia.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurological condition, which affects the brain. PD gets worse over time, but how quickly it progresses varies a lot from person to person. Some symptoms of PD are tremors, stiffness, and slowness of movement. The purpose of this study is to evaluate how effective ABBV-951 is in treating adult participants with advanced PD in real world setting. ABBV-951 (foslevodopa/foscarbidopa) is an approved drug for the treatment of Parkinson's Disease. The main ROSSINI study will have approximately 450 adult participants with PD (300 participants new to ABBV-951, up to 150 participants transitioning from open-label extension study) will be enrolled across approximately 60 sites. Decision to treat with ABBV-951 (or continue the treatment in Cohort B) will be made by the doctor prior to any decision to approach the participant to participate in this study. There will be a sub-study that will enroll 40 naïve participants who initiated Foslevodopa/Foscarbidopa treatment for the first time (Cohort A of the ROSSINI parent study only) from 6 to 15 centers in the United States, Germany and Spain. All participants will receive subcutaneous infusion of ABBV-951 for approximately 3 years. Participants will attend regular clinic visits during the course of the study. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, and completing questionnaires.

Continuation of the CARRA Registry as described in the protocol will support data collection on patients with pediatric-onset rheumatic diseases. The CARRA Registry will form the basis for future CARRA studies. In particular, this observational registry will be used to answer pressing questions about therapeutics used to treat pediatric rheumatic diseases, including safety questions.

This medical education research project aims to evaluate the impact of a directed perceptual learning module (PLM) on spinal sonoanatomy. Following a demographic questionnaire, participants will be exposed to a tutorial explaining the necessary theoretical foundations for the PLM as well as the functioning of the PLM interface. A pre-test involving selecting the best image from a video sequence depicting spinal sonoanatomy will be administered to all participants. Participants will then be randomized into two groups and exposed to video sequences in the same manner as during the pre-test, with immediate feedback in the intervention group and no feedback in the control group. The video sequences presented will be the same between the two groups. Finally, a post-test will be administered immediately and remotely after exposure to the PLM. The time window corresponding to the best image will be predefined by an expert and compared to the resident\'s value. The difference in feedback exposure between the two groups will not be revealed to limit biases.

The goal of this prospective study is to evaluate diabetes outcomes after initiating second generation intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM) plus one pharmacist consultation session compared with capillary blood glucose (CBG) monitoring among insulin-naïve adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in a specialist endocrinology clinical setting in Canada. Primary Outcome - To evaluate change in HbA1c at 3-6 months follow-up after initiating isCGM plus one pharmacist consultation (isCGM cohort) compared with CBG monitoring (CBG cohort) among insulin-naïve adults with T2D. Secondary Outcomes - To determine the change in metabolic outcomes and patient reported outcomes (PROs) and number of non-insulin antihyperglycemic agents (AHAs) prescribed from baseline to 3-6 months (± 6 weeks) in the isCGM cohort compared to the CBG cohort. Another secondary outcome is to assess isCGM metrics and number of isCGM discontinuations in the isCGM cohort at 3-6 months (± 6 weeks) compared to baseline. Additionally the study will describe and/or evaluate glycemic and metabolic outcomes, and PROs in participants who initiate an isCGM device and opt to enroll in a diabetes coaching program (isCGM+coaching cohort) at baseline compared to follow-up at 3-6 months (± 6 weeks). Exploratory Outcomes - To compare change in HbA1c between the matched isCGM cohort and CBG cohort by subgroups: age (\< 65 years old vs ≥ 65 years old) and baseline HbA1c (\< 8.5% vs ≥ 8.5%).

This study aims to compare two common ultrasound techniques used during heart surgery: transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). TTE is performed by placing an ultrasound probe on the chest, while TEE involves inserting a probe into the esophagus, which provides closer and clearer images of the heart. Both methods are part of routine care for patients undergoing heart surgery. The goal of this study is to assess how well the measurements from TTE and TEE agree in evaluating heart chamber dimensions during surgery and to investigate how factors such as anesthesia, breathing techniques affect these measurements. This research involves 114 adult patients scheduled for heart surgery at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre. Participants will have TTE performed before and after surgery, and TEE will be conducted during surgery. All procedures are part of the usual standard of care. By comparing these imaging techniques, the study seeks to provide more accurate and up-to-date guidelines for cardiac measurements, ensuring better care for patients during heart surgery.
