This is a multisite randomized controlled registry-based trial to evaluate the efficacy of an 8-week home-based exergaming intervention as compared to usual care on occupational satisfaction of children and youth (8-18 years old age) with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA).

The objective of this study is to nake a comparison between 11c-acetate and 11c-acetoacetate kidney uptake in chronic kidney failure patients.

The goal of this observational study is to to identify different causes of liver diseases or damage in liver transplant patients and develop a machine learning algorithm as a non-invasive tool leveraging gene expression and patient clinical information to classify transplant liver diseases We will collect blood samples of the participants who had undergone or will undergo the liver biopsy as part of standard of care, and use this blood in TruGarf. TruGraf is a non-invasive test that measures differentially expressed genes in the blood of transplant recipients to rule out liver damage. Researcher will collect the biopsy result from the medical record and this will be compared with the TruGarf results.

Teriparatide (PTH) is the only bone formation therapy that has been approved for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis in Canada. Osteoporosis is currently diagnosed using a bone mineral density (BMD) scan, which measures the amount of mineral (calcium etc) in bones (the higher the amount of mineral, the lower the fracture risk). Although BMD is linked to bone strength and is used to measure fracture risk, it does not give information on bone structure (called bone geometry) which can also tell us a great deal about fracture risks. Clinical trials have shown that teriparatide increases BMD at the lumbar spine and total hip, while BMD at the forearm may decrease after 20 months of therapy. However, bone biopsies of the pelvis done on people taking teriparatide show improvement of bone geometry (ie bone thickness and increased trabeculae (small interconnecting rods of bone), suggesting that a change in bone geometry at the wrist may be occurring as well. Currently, there is a new technology, high resolution pQCT (HR-pQCT) that can assess bone geometry without a biopsy. Since bone strength is affected both by BMD and bone structure (as well as other material properties), our group is interested in examining changes in bone geometry at the radius and tibia in men and women with osteoporosis who receives 24 months of teriparatide therapy. The investigators believe that this new approach of measuring bone strength will help us better understand the mechanisms of therapeutic efficacy of teriparatide. In addition, measuring indices of bone strength such as the material composition (bone mineral content or BMD) and structural properties of bone (size and shape, and microarchitecture) may provide more data about the mechanisms of how teriparatide treatment can decrease fracture risk. In the end, this data will benefit and improve patient care by allowing us to show patients and their providers that whether BMD increases, decreases or stay the same, there are changes in their bone geometric structure with teriparatide therapy that increases bone strength.

A migraine is a moderate to severe headache on one side of the head. A migraine attack is a headache that may be accompanied by throbbing, nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light and sound, or other symptoms. A number of treatments are available for adults with migraine but there are limited approved treatments available for pediatric participants. The main goal of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy (how well treatment works) of a low-dose and high-dose of atogepant in pediatric participants between the ages of 6 and 17. Atogepant is a medicine currently approved to treat adults with migraine (0 to 14 migraine days per month) and is being studied in pediatric participants between the ages of 6 and 17 with a history of episodic migraine. This is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind study of atogepant in participants with a history of episodic migraine with an open-label pharmacokinetic substudy. Eligible participants will be randomized into 6 different groups. Participants between the ages of 12 and 17 will be randomized to receive placebo, low-dose atogepant, or high-dose atogepant for 12 weeks. Participants between the ages of 6 and 11 will also be randomized to receive placebo, low-dose atogepant, or high-dose atogepant for 12 weeks. The specific atogepant doses to be used in participants between the ages of 6 and 11 will be determined after the PK substudy is complete. Around 450 participants will be enrolled in approximately 100 sites worldwide. Placebo, low-dose atogepant, and high-dose atogepant are given as a tablet to take by mouth once a day. At the end of Week 12, participants will either undergo a follow-up visit 4 weeks after last study treatment or join an extension study where they can continue to receive atogepant for another 52 weeks. There may be a bigger responsibility for participants in this study. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effects of treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects, and completing questionnaires.

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of CoPs therapy with or without the therapeutic component of biofeedback in treating tics in Tourette Syndrome with emerging young adults. Hypotheses: 1. The CoPs+Biofeedback treatment will improve the severity of tics (YGTSS) and the Clinical Global Impression, surpassing the clinical significance threshold of CoPs treatment alone. 2. We expect that the identified variables (psychosocial, neurocognitive, biological) will predict the improvement of tics. Researchers will compare if the biofeedback treatment will improve the severity of tics. * In the pre-test, participants will undergo two interviews, each lasting 3 hours. These interviews will assess (through a battery of tests) the severity of tics as well as the psychosocial, biological, and neurocognitive aspects of functioning. A general assessment of intelligence and executive functions will also be conducted. * They will next attend 10 to 12 therapy sessions, with or without biofeedback. (The biofeedback component is explained in more detail in the ''Study Design'' section). * The post-test follow-ups consist of two evaluations: one 3 months after the end of the treatment and the other 6 months after. The evaluation will be done using the same battery of tests as during the pre-test interview.

This is a two arm RCT evaluating the effect of intravenous vitamin C versus placebo in patients with incurable non-small cell lung cancer. Participants in both arms will be receiving platinum doublet chemotherapy with or without concurrent immunotherapy as standard care. We plan to enroll 90 patients over 5 years.

Apathy is a common, early, and disabling symptom in dementias and mild behavioural impairment such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) and is characterized by lack of interest and enthusiasm. Both repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a form of non-invasive brain stimulation, and methylphenidate, a medication, have been shown to improve apathy. This pilot study will investigate rTMS as a treatment for apathy in neurocognitive disorders and mild behavioural impairment in individuals receiving methylphenidate and individuals not receiving medication for apathy.

The purpose of this study is to look for low levels of oxygen (hypoxia) in lung cancer using a positron emission tomography (PET) scan. Hypoxia can influence how lung cancer grows and responds to treatments like radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The use of PET scans to measure hypoxia may be better and simpler than the approaches used previously. This study will assess whether or not PET scans can provide useful information about hypoxia in lung cancer. In this study, a radiotracer called Fluoroazomycin Arabinoside (FAZA) will be used to measure hypoxia in the patient's tumour. FAZA has already been used in many cancers including lung cancer. Patients who consent to participate in this trial will receive 1 FAZA PET Scan prior to their first radiotherapy treatment

A full-thickness macular hole is when there is a small gap that opens in the center part of the retina (the light-sensitive layer of tissue in the back of the eye). Following surgical repair of these holes, patients have to lie face down for a number of days and nights. The exact amount of time necessary to position is however unknown. The goal of this randomized feasibility clinical trial is to compare 3 days and nights of face-down positioning to 7 days and nights of face-down positioning following pars plana vitrectomy surgery for full-thickness macular holes on key patient outcomes. This study will be a feasibility study to better inform a future larger clinical trial. Additionally, this investigation will be examining the rates of macular hole closure, patient visual acuity following surgery, patient quality of life, patient compliance, and complication rates.
