At present, it is not clear whether performing a hip arthroscopy at the same time as a PAO improves patient outcomes after surgery compared to a PAO alone. This research project will randomize patients to receive either a PAO alone, or a PAO and a hip arthroscopy at the same time.

This pilot clinical trial aims to assess the real world quality of life and survival of patients treated with targeted therapy that has preliminary evidence of efficacy in subjects with advanced rare cancers or cancer harbouring rare molecular aberrations. The treatment has been granted conditional or full approved by Health Canada (HC) as effective and safe. Due to the rarity of the cancer or molecular aberration the uncertainty level of the health technology assessment (HTA) by the pan Canadian Oncology Review (pCODR) was too high for consideration of funding or it was not submitted for consideration. Consequently, the goal of this study is to generate real world evidence to support HTA decision making throughout the life cycle of the product.

Study ABX1100-1001 is a first-in-human (FIH), phase 1 study to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of a single ascending dose (SAD) and multiple doses (MD) of ABX1100 administered intravenously to healthy participants and patients with LOPD. * Part A features a SAD study with a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized design in NHVs involving 3 cohorts (A1-A3). This Part also includes a single dose, open-labeled cohort (A4) in NHVs which will commence after cohorts A1-3. * Part B is a MD, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized design in NHVs. The MD Part B will commence after completion of Cohorts A1, A2 and A3 in the SAD Part A and SRC review of these 3 cohorts. * Part C opened for enrollment after the Safety Review Committee (SRC) review of safety, PK and PD data from both Part A and Part B. Part C is a MD, open-label design in patients with Late-Onset Pompe Disease.

The purpose of this study is to find out whether the study drug, LY3537982, is safe and effective in cancer patients who have a specific genetic mutation (KRAS G12C). Patients must have already received or were not able to tolerate the standard of care, except for specific groups who have not had cancer treatment. The study will last up to approximately 4 years.

The prefrontal cortex, although well established as an efficacious target for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD), has recently come into favour as a therapeutic target for alcohol use disorders (AUD). Depressive symptoms are also highly prevalent in individuals with AUD. A number of cognitive and psychological processes stemming from the prefrontal cortex, a common treatment target for repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), are disrupted in both MDD and AUD. The proposed study will enhance the development of theta burst stimulation (TBS) as a new intervention for AUD in the context of depressive symptoms and uses integrated TMS-EEG to identify neurophysiological targets of executive dysfunction in this disorder.

This study evaluates the effectiveness of additional content on loneliness offered alongside the Wellbeing Course - an internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy (ICBT) intervention for symptoms of depression and anxiety- in improving treatment outcomes for individuals with elevated scores on loneliness seeking treatment for depression and anxiety at a routine care online therapy clinic (the Online Therapy Unit). In this partially randomized control trial, the investigators aim to contribute to the literature by examining whether providing additional content on loneliness alongside the Wellbeing Course enhances engagement, satisfaction, and treatment outcomes among clients experiencing frequent loneliness compared to those completing only the Wellbeing Course. Over 8 weeks, participants will review course materials (with the addition of the loneliness content for those assigned to the loneliness content condition) online and complete questionnaires assessing changes in various outcomes over time.

Myofunctional therapy has been shown to be effectively reduce symptoms of paediatric obstructive sleep apnea, usually performed after adenotonsillectomy. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Passive Oral Myofunctional Reeducation (using a flexible oral appliance) compared to nasal hygiene alone (control group), in a population of children scheduled for adenotonsillectomy.

Researchers are looking for better ways of understanding and treating pancreatic cancer. The purpose of this study is to see how useful it is to look for changes and characteristics in your genes (molecules that contain instructions for the development and functioning of the cells) and the genes within the tumour. These characteristics may be useful in choosing treatments for patients in the future. Changes (mutations) in genes have been shown to be an important characteristic in cancers. Looking at differences in genes in patients with advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas and comparing this information with response to their initial chemotherapy treatment may help to learn which treatments may be better for certain patients after initial treatment.

The goal of this intervention trial is to characterize skeletal muscle atrophy in healthy, young adults during short term bedrest. The main questions it aims to answer are: How much do skeletal muscle volume, strength, and fatigue resistance decline during bedrest? How much does whole-body insulin sensitivity change during bedrest? How do mitochondrial function and protein synthesis change during bedrest? Participants will undergo the following tests before and after a free-living control period and before and after a 5 day period of strict horizontal bedrest: * Magnetic resonance imaging of the thigh muscles * Strength testing of the thigh muscles * Insulin sensitivity testing in response to a mixed meal * Exogenous glucose oxidation in response to a mixed meal * Muscle biopsies from the thigh muscles * Blood samples

Total shoulder arthroplasty is an effective procedure to improve patients function and to relieve shoulder pain in cases of glenohumeral arthritis. The main challenge of this procedure is implanting the glenoid component. Indeed, surgical exposure is difficult and proper visualization of the glenoid is demanding. The current free-hand method is not precise and especially unreliable in glenoids with severe deformity. Inappropriate reaming and glenoid positioning can cause more bone loss during surgery. In anatomic prostheses, glenoid component fixation is demanding and is the first component to present loosening at long term follow-up. When it comes to reverse arthroplasty, the glenoid component, once again, requires the most attention. Malpositioning of the glenosphere can cause notching, loosening, and instability. In order to prevent these complications, precision in glenoid implantation is key. To this end, intraoperative computer navigation would be a helpful tool, but the increased expenses in computer equipment represent massive costs and possibly increases in surgical time. A more affordable option is a personalized guide, for which the only extra expense is the customized guide. These guides are based on precise 3D CT scan templates. Previous studies have evaluated the precision of the guide in vivo and in vitro, but none have measured it in a randomized study. As it represents additional costs, its efficacy needs to be proven before widespread use. This method may also provide secondary benefits, such as decreasing operating time, lowering short- and long-term complications, and improving efficacy. The objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of a patient specific glenoid guide.
