The goal of this registry is to learn more about cytolytic vaginosis, a little known and controversial condition. The main questions the registry aims to answer are: * What are risk factors of cytolytic vaginosis? * Are there defining symptoms of cytolytic vaginosis? * What features on wet mount should be used to diagnosis cytolytic vaginosis? * Are baking soda vaginal irrigations an effective treatment for cytolytic vaginosis? * Do characteristics of cytolytic vaginosis vary between sites/countries?

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a Health Canada approved treatment for major depression. Theta burst stimulation (TBS), a type of rTMS, is a very promising new treatment for major depression in adults and adolescents. However, very few studies have assessed the efficacy of accelerated, three times a day TBS in comparison with standard once a day TBS in adolescents. The study aims to explore further evidence in hopes to conduct a large-scale, randomized, multisite, placebo-controlled clinical trial evaluating the effects of a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)-guided accelerated rTMS protocol vs. standard once/daily rTMS for treatment-resistant depression in adolescents.

Intravenous vancomycin is considered first line therapy for serious methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections including bacteremia, central nervous system infection, pneumonia, pleural space infection, bone or joint infection, prosthetic joint infection and deep abscesses. The effectiveness and toxicity of vancomycin depend on its dosing and chosen target. The most recent guidelines suggest targeting area under the curve over 24 hours over minimum inhibitory concentration (AUC/MIC) of 400 to 600. Implementation of AUC/MIC requires Bayesian software that can be variable, costly, complicated and time consuming. Ideally, AUC/MIC dosing would also require susceptibility testing by broth microdilution, which is not commonly done. It is recommended to target AUC of 400 to 600 assuming a MIC of 1ug/mL when MIC by broth microdilution is not known. Targeting a trough level of 10 to 15mg/L may be a reasonable and more practical alternative without compromising effectiveness. We will be conducting a randomized controlled non-inferiority trial to compare intravenous vancomycin dosing strategy targeting a trough level of 10 to 15mg/L versus AUC of 400 to 600 assuming a MIC of 1ug/mL by broth microdilution for serious MRSA infections. The primary outcome will be treatment failure, which is a composite of mortality and microbiologic failure at 90 days. We hypothesize that targeting a trough level of 10 to 15mg/L is non-inferior to targeting a AUC of 400 to 600 in terms of treatment failure. The criterion for non-inferiority is that a two-sided 95% confidence interval for difference in risk of treatment failure will lie within the non-inferiority margin of 10%.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a relatively common disease that effects all age groups and carries significant morbidity and mortality. The initial treatment typically involves both short and long term medication, however when this is not enough to adequately control the disease, surgery is often required. The high morbidity and mortality rates are in part due to the increased rates of venous thromboembolism (VTE) such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE) which have been shown to develop more frequently in IBD patients compared to the general population. Undergoing abdominal surgery has also been shown to independently increase rates of DVT and PE and since the majority of patients with IBD will undergo surgery at least once in their lifetime, the relative increased risk of developing a VTE is very high. The majority of DVT and PE events in the postoperative IBD population will occur after discharge from hospital and therefore carries significant morbidity and mortality risk in a unmonitored setting. Several studies have demonstrated the benefits and safety of twice daily dosing of oral extended VTE prophylaxis agents in orthopedic and cancer postoperative patients following discharge from hospital. There have been no randomized studies which have evaluated the use of extended postoperative VTE prophylaxis in IBD patients. The purpose of this randomized placebo controlled pilot trial will be to evaluate the efficacy and safety of postoperative VTE prophylaxis in IBD patients following abdominal surgery. If this pilot trial demonstrates efficacy in reducing postoperative DVT and PE rates, safety and feasibility, clinicians will be armed with the knowledge to pursue a larger multicenter randomized trial with the intent of reducing overall morbidity and mortality in this high risk population.

The goal of this pragmatic embedded open-label, 2 x 2 factorial phase II randomized controlled trial is to evaluate strategies to improve COVID-19 booster and influenza vaccine immunogenicity in people living with immunocompromising conditions (PLIC). The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is co-administration of seasonal inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV) with the most up-to-date recommended COVID-19 booster dose non-inferior in inducing a 1-month peak protective humoral response against COVID-19, compared to a strategy of sequential administration of COVID-19 booster dose followed by seasonal IIV given one month later? 2. Is the administration of the most up-to-date recommended COVID-19 booster doses at 3-month intervals superior at maintaining a longer term protective humoral immune response, compared to booster doses administered at 6-month intervals? Researchers will compare (1) COVID-19 and Influenza vaccines administered at Day 0 + COVID-19 Booster at a 3-month interval, (2) COVID-19 vaccine administered at Day 0 and Influenza vaccine administered at Day 28 + COVID-19 Booster at a 3-month interval, (3) COVID-19 and Influenza vaccines administered at Day 0 + COVID-19 Booster at a 6-month interval, and (4) COVID-19 vaccine administered at Day 0 and Influenza vaccine administered at Day 28 + COVID-19 Booster at a 6-month interval to see if median neutralization capacity of patient sera is non-inferior in the co- vs. sequential administration arms at 1-month after the initial COVID-19 booster and superior in the 3-month interval arms vs. the 6-month interval arms at 12 months after the initial COVID-19 booster. These outcomes will also be compared at 2-months for question 1 and 6-months for question 2. People living with immunocompromising conditions who take part in the trial will have blood samples drawn to verify immune response, be monitored for changes in clinical events and therapies, and complete questionnaires to verify adverse effects, quality of life and economic impact.

Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (SAB) is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates with an incidence disproportionately higher in vulnerable populations. Management according to evidence-based care parameters, in particular Infectious Diseases (ID) consultation, is associated with improved mortality. SAB management is suboptimal in Alberta compared to other jurisdictions. An Alberta-based pilot study confirmed that timely recommendations to optimize SAB care, including ID consultation, was associated with improved adherence to all evidence-based quality-of-care indicators. Leveraging this pilot work, the investigators aim to implement OPTIMUS-SAB, an enhanced model of the pilot, to optimize and standardize SAB management across Alberta. The implementation study will be a zone-based acute care site stepped wedge design. OPTIMUS-SAB will consist of a centralized SAB care team whom will receive automated notification of all blood cultures positive for S. aureus allowing them to review the patient's medical chart and make preliminary management recommendations according to an evidence-based care bundle. The investigators will evaluate adherence to evidence-based SAB quality-of-care indicators before and after OPTIMUS-SAB implementation and expect this to improve with a resultant reduction in duration of bacteremia, length of stay, readmission rates, and mortality. In turn, this will translate into cost savings for the health care system.
