The causes of neurodegenerative dementias such as Frontotemporal Dementia, Lewy Body Disease and Alzheimer's disease are still largely unknown. While the contribution of some genetic mutations and polymorphisms is associated with autosomal dominant patterns of inheritance of these dementias, in many cases, the specific causative mutation in these families is not yet identified. Further, in many patients, polygenic risk is thought to give rise to pathophysiologic changes, but which specific genes affect risk are largely yet unknown. By examining genotypes in patients that present to our Cognitive Neurology and Alzheimer's Research Clinic with suspected or confirmed neurodegenerative dementia, or have a history of a familial dementia, we aim to help identify and characterize genetic mutations or polymorphisms that give rise to neurodegenerative diseases.

In this study investigators will determine the feasibility of a future trial comparing chemotherapy-induced nausea control in children with ALL receiving oral 6-mercaptopurine who do and do not receive problem-solving skill training. This is a novel approach to controlling an important and common treatment-related symptom.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety of mRNA-3705 administered to participants with isolated methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) due to methylmalonyl-coenzyme A mutase (MUT) deficiency who have previously participated in other clinical studies of mRNA-3705.

This research is a clinical evaluation of the Skiin chest band, a smart garment with embedded electronic textile (e-textile) electrodes, to record body surface electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. Developed by Myant Textile Computing Inc., the Skiin chest band (i.e. as part of the Skiin Underwear family of garments) is a component of the Myant Health Platform (MHP). The MHP also consists of: (a) a mobile phone application (Skiin Connected Life Application; SCLA), and (b) the Myant Virtual Clinic Portal (MVCP). In this study, participants will wear the Skiin chest band to collect their ECG for a period of 14 days. Participants will also be provided with a smartphone that is pre-loaded with the SCLA to record any symptoms (e.g. palpitations, shortness of breath, fatigue, light- headedness, fainting, etc.) they may experience over the 14 day ECG monitoring period. The data collected in this study will be used to develop new algorithms and patient monitoring tools to detect and predict cardiovascular health problems.

This will be a multi-centre randomized controlled trial, with London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC) as the lead site. Elderly patients with complex ankle fractures who meet the inclusion criteria and provide consent will be randomized (through a web-based randomization system) to one of the two treatment arms. One group (Group A) will receive primary ankle fusion, and the second group (Group B) will receive primary ankle open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). Patient important outcomes will be compared at one year post injury The Investigators have amended the study to include a second part for patients with less complicated but still unstable ankle fractures. In this part, patients will be randomly assigned to receive either a procedure called ORIF or another one called retrograde intramedullary fibular nailing.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of selinexor as a maintenance treatment in patients with p53 wt endometrial carcinoma (EC), who have achieved a partial response (PR) or complete response (CR) (per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 \[RECIST v 1.1\]) after completing at least 12 weeks of platinum-based therapy. A total of 276 participants will be enrolled in the study and randomized in a 1:1 ratio to maintenance therapy with either selinexor or placebo.

The goal of this observational study is to test the effects of a type of noninvasive brain stimulation called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) on visual processing in adults with body dysmorphic disorder symptoms when combined with modifying visual attention. The main goals are to understand, in people with body dysmorphic disorder and people with subclinical body dysmorphic disorder: * The effects of intermittent and continuous TMS stimulation of parietal brain regions when done right before visual attention modulation on brain functional connections. * The effects of intermittent and continuous TMS stimulation of parietal brain regions when done right before visual attention modulation on global/holistic visual perception. Participants will receive one type of TMS (intermittent or continuous) followed immediately by an fMRI brain scan during which they will view images of their faces. On the second day, they will do the same, but receive either the intermittent or continuous TMS stimulation that they did not receive on the first day.
