The goal of this study is to assess and compare the safety and tolerability of salbutamol administered via metered dose inhaler (MDI) containing propellant 1,1-difluoroethane (HFA-152a) or 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (HFA-134a) in participants aged \>=18 years with asthma.

Over 18FARGO is a prospective cohort study that aims to determine the performance of preoperative frailty assessment based on the Frailty Phenotype (FP), compared to a perioperative cardiovascular risk assessment based on the combination of preoperative Revised Cardiac Risk Index (RCRI), age and occurrence of myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery (MINS), in predicting the composite of all-cause death or new disability at 6 months after surgery in patients aged 55 or older. Patients will have confirmed or suspected gynecologic cancer, undergoing cytoreductive or high-risk surgery with or without chemotherapy.

55 - 110Parenteral nutrition (PN) is a lifesaving therapy in patients with chronic intestinal failure. PN is administered via a central venous catheter (CVC), and patients are dependent on this line for ongoing nutrition. However, the presence of a CVC is associated with a risk of thrombosis and bloodstream infection. Many different types of catheter lock solutions have been used to mitigate these risks. They include solutions primarily aimed at reducing thrombosis, such as heparin and citrate, and others primarily aimed at reducing infection such as ethanol and antibiotics (for example, taurolidine). One recently developed solution, tetrasodium EDTA, aims to reduce both thrombosis and infection. This scientific review provides an overview of central venous catheter lock solutions, and an ease-of-use and cost analysis comparing heparin and tetrasodium EDTA in one home parenteral nutrition program in Toronto, Canada.

18 - 100Evolving technology and clinical innovation have led to dramatic changes in the management of type 1 diabetes (T1D). These changes have led to a need to collect a growing number of details from families during their visits. As a result, much of the physician-patient visit is spent transferring information instead of focusing on diabetes care, contributing to increased time pressures in clinic and unmet needs for patients. In response to this reality, the investigators have developed a tool that allows families to input their diabetes-related information into their physicians' electronic health record (EHR) documentation tool before their clinic visit, using a questionnaire administered via CHEO's secure patient portal (MyChart®). The investigators will evaluate the impact of an integrated electronic patient questionnaire, on quality of care (patient-reported), diabetes control and clinic efficiency. The investigators hope that our study will determine whether having families input clinical data prior to a visit is an effective strategy to improve the quality of diabetes care. The investigators believe that the findings will be of interest to all those studying the value of incorporating patient-entered data both within diabetes care and beyond.

AnyFollowing surgery and treatment for breast cancer, many patients experience swelling of lymph nodes (lymphedema) or accumulation of fluid (seroma) that can cause pain, restrict movement, and reduce quality of life. Current treatments include massage, pressure dressings, and drainage, but these are often ineffective and do not last. Physical activity, in particular swimming, has been linked to improvement in lymphedema/seroma symptoms, but more research is required to determine whether or not this type of treatment is effective.

Over 18The goal of this prospective observational study is to evaluate advanced practice physiotherapy and orthopedic surgeon care and clinical outcomes for new patients with a peripheral musculoskeletal disorders consulting at the orthopedic outpatient clinic of the Hôpital Jean-Talon. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. To describe the models of care at the Hôpital Jean-Talon orthopedic outpatient clinic; 2. To assess change in pain, disability, quality of life and pain catastrophizing at 6, 12 and 26 weeks after the initial evaluation; 3. To assess interprofessional collaboration between the advanced practice physiotherapists and orthopedic surgeons; 4. To assess patient satisfaction with care; 5. To assess waiting time before an initial consultation. Researchers will compare patients cared in the advanced practice physiotherapy and orthopedic surgeon group and the orthopedic surgeon only group.

Over 18Celecoxib is effective for reducing postoperative pain in adults. Children use celecoxib more rapidly than adults and require higher doses. Celecoxib is partially metabolized in the liver by a certain enzyme. A person's genetic variation of this enzyme can influence how well their body uses Celecoxib. Furthermore, Celecoxib down-regulates P-glycoprotein (P-gp), a drug efflux transporter located at the blood brain barrier responsible for central nervous system (CNS) extrusion of ondansetron and possibly fentanyl; therefore celecoxib may augment the CNS effects of these drugs. Understanding the blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) profile of celecoxib in children and the influence of genetics on metabolism would help to develop appropriate celecoxib dosing in children for various treatment options.

Over 18The FAST Walk study aims to determine whether a walking test called the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) can help identify people who are more likely to experience complications after surgery. This test will be completed before surgery. We hope that the results of this study will help improve care for patients having major surgery in the future.
