The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of focused ultrasound (FUS)-mediated blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption using the Next Generation Dome Helmet (NGDH) in adults with glioblastoma (GBM) undergoing the maintenance phase of the standard "Stupp protocol". Participants will: * Undergo repeated FUS BBB disruption treatments during the maintenance phase of temozolomide (TMZ) chemotherapy. * Receive intravenous ultrasound contrast (DEFINITY®) prior to each FUS session to facilitate targeted BBB disruption. * Undergo serial MRI scans and clinical assessments to evaluate safety and the extent of BBB opening. * Provide blood samples (and tumor tissue if available) for biomarker analysis related to BBB permeability, tumor presence, and treatment response. * Be followed for progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) during routine neuro-oncology visits until end of life.

18 - 85A prospective open label, multicenter study to evaluate the feasibility and acute toxicity of using molecularly guided therapy in combination with standard therapy followed by a Randomized Controlled Trial of standard immunotherapy with or without DFMO followed by DFMO maintenance for Subjects with Newly Diagnosed High-Risk Neuroblastoma.

Under 22This study will assess how the serotonin precursor, 5-HTP, alter nervous system excitability and motor function in individuals with spinal cord injuries of differing chronicity and severity. Participants will visit the lab on 4 separate occasions where they will be administered four different drugs in a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled crossover design.

18 - 65This study aims to produce new evidence, specific to women, on the efficacy and mechanisms of exercise and diet for cardiometabolic risk reduction in pre and postmenopausal women. Using a 3-arm randomized controlled trial (RCT) with equal recruitment and stratification by menopausal status to 6 months of: 1) exercise following Health Canada guidelines; 2) the same exercise plus counselling to follow Canada's Dietary Guidelines to improve diet quality; or 3) stretching group, this study will answer the following questions: * How does the impact of exercise compare among each of the causal links between physical inactivity and cardiometabolic disease in women? * What is the effect modification of adding a diet quality intervention to exercise? * What is the effect modification by menopausal status? The investigators hypothesize that exercise adaptations will be: 1) largest peripherally, including Matsuda index (primary outcome), Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR), arteriovenous oxygen difference (avO2diff), and visceral fat, compared to centrally (stroke volume (SV), endothelial function, aortic stiffness), 2) blunted or absent in post vs premenopause; 3) enhanced by the addition of diet quality which will be essential or additive for Matsuda index, metabolic syndrome, Framingham cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, cytokines and adipokines, thigh myosteatosis, muscle mass, peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak), 4) enhanced by adding diet quality in more outcomes postmenopause.

Over 30The purpose of this clinical study is to find out if NNC4005-0001 is well-tolerated and safe for people who have increased body weight and increased liver fat. Participants will receive either NNC4005-0001, which is the treatment being tested, or a placebo, which is a treatment that contains no active medicine. The study will last for about for about 7 to 8 months.

18 - 69Newborns born early are at risk for a serious health problem called patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). PDA is a passageway between heart and lung that can cause life-threatening complications such as bleeding in the brain or even death if it remains open and large. When closure of PDA is needed, doctors make every attempt to do it as soon as possible. Ibuprofen is the best drug to close the PDA, but it only works for 50% of small newborns. The investigators have shown before that small newborns handle ibuprofen differently and the amount of active ibuprofen that reaches their blood can be very unpredictable. Studies have shown if enough ibuprofen reaches the body, it can close the PDA. Therefore the investigators designed this study to see whether it is possible to give each newborn the right amount of ibuprofen that their body needs to close the PDA. The investigators will compare two ways to give ibuprofen in a small number of newborns: 1 - standard amount of ibuprofen to everyone, which is the usual care or 2 - ibuprofen doses that will be changed based on how much active ibuprofen has reached the body and how well the newborn's PDA is closing. The investigators will then compare the number of PDAs closed in each group and closely monitor any possible challenges for this new practice. By doing this project, the goals can be summarized as below: A. Primary goal: To determine if it is feasible to successfully run a larger study in the future. B. Secondary goals 1. To assess how well and how safely the personalized (MIPD) method works, using a tool called WAPPS-PDA to guide dosing. 2. To compare the effectiveness and safety of the personalized method with standard ibuprofen dosing. 3. To identify drug levels in the blood (Cmin, AUC0-24, AUC0-72) that are associated with complete, partial, or no response to treatment.
