Prostate Stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR) is an established technique that delivers radiation in a non-invasive approach for men with prostate cancer. The treatment regimen is given in total of 5 fractions with one treatment per day at every other day or weekly sessions. Ultra-hypofractionated radiotherapy (UHRT) is an emerging monotherapy for localized prostate cancer however, several trials have observed demonstrating superior biochemical control of a two-fraction (HDR) over single-fraction approach. The study aims to compare an experimental shorter course of prostate ultra-hypofractionated radiotherapy (UHRT) that will deliver what is expected to be an equivalent amount of radiation as given in the standard 5 treatment regimen. UHRT is given in 2 treatments with one treatment a week for 2 consecutive weeks.

Radiotherapy (RT) is a well-known and established therapy or adjuvant therapy for the treatment of thoracic cancer It uses a high energy radiation from x-rays, gamma rays and other charged particles that assist in damaging the cancer DNA. PET/MR as imaging biomarkers for cardiopulmonary dysfunction with a focus on Pulmonary hypertension (PH). Despite the measures taken to reduce the total radiation dose and to limit the radiation to normal tissues, there is evidence of transient or permanent radiotherapy induced myocardial and pulmonary dysfunction leading to PH in patients who receive radiotherapy above a certain threshold of received dose. To be able to Demonstrate correlation of combined PET/MR and plasma metabolomics markers in patients at risk of developing cardiopulmonary disfunction after RT.

This study will investigate the impact of three common exercise modalities, cardiovascular, resistance, and multimodal (i.e., a combination of the previous two) training, on sleep quality and architecture in persons with Parkinson's disease (PD). Furthermore, the project will investigate whether the potential positive exercise-induced changes in sleep are associated with improvements in different quality of life (QoL)-related aspects. Participants will perform either cardiovascular training (CT), resistance training (RT), multimodal training (MT), or will be allocated to a control condition (i.e., waiting list - CON) for 12 weeks. Training will be performed three times/week. The assessments will be conducted at baseline, post-intervention, and follow-up (i.e. 8 weeks after the intervention) by assessors blinded to the participants' group allocation.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effect of the study drug (ZT-01) on low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) in adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) who have been having low blood sugars ("hypos") at night. ZT-01 increases the amount of a hormone called glucagon during low blood sugar, and this may help prevent the occurrence of hypos. The main questions this trial aims to answer are whether ZT-01 lowers the number of hypos happening at night, and what its effects are on blood sugar levels. The safety of ZT-01 will also be measured. Participants will be asked to wear a study-provided continuous glucose monitor (CGM) during two 4-week periods when they will self-inject the study drug before bed. They will get ZT-01 at one of three dose levels during one period, and placebo (which looks like the study drug but doesn't contain the active ingredient) during the other. Neither the participant nor the study site will know what they are receiving during each treatment period or see data from the CGM. The participant will continue to use their usual methods of measuring blood sugar (including their personal CGM) and giving insulin during the study. The participant will be asked to complete a short diary each evening, and will be asked to upload the CGM data to a study phone every day. If a participant uses their own CGM and is willing to share information on how often they have low blood sugar with the study site at the first visit to see if they meet study entry requirements, they will have 6 study visits, 2 study phone calls, and be in the study for about 16 weeks. If they don't use CGM or don't want to share their information, then they will be asked to wear a study CGM for an extra 4 weeks to find out how many low blood sugars they have, and will have an extra visit. Study participants will be asked to give blood and urine for testing to see whether they meet the requirements to enter the study, and at the start and end of each treatment period to see if the study treatment has any effects. They will also have their blood pressure and temperature taken at each study visit, and have an ECG at 4 visits to measure the electrical activity of their heart. Some participants will be asked to also take part in a sub-study where their blood level of ZT-01 and glucagon is measured, after the first and last dose. They will be asked to stay at the study site overnight for each set of measurements (4 in total).

In Canada, 1,700,000 adults are at risk of dementia, half of them with MCI,representing one of the largest groups at risk for an incurable disease. Epidemiological evidence suggests up to 40% of dementia cases might be preventable by targeting modifiable lifestyle and cardiovascular factors. Given that current treatments cannot modify the disease, prevention is critical. SYNERGIC-2 offers a "personalized multidomain intervention" that combines physical and cognitive training, sleep, diet, and vascular-metabolic interventions in individuals with MCI to synergistically enhance their overall brain health including cognition and contributes to maintaining their independence. Importantly, interventions will be provided at home using an existing virtual platform reducing delivery complexity and expanding the accessibility to a wider population, thus decreasing potential inequities. Improving older adults' brain health and achieving even a modest two-year dementia incidence delay will have a projected saving of $218 Billion in Canada's healthcare system over 30 years.

Worldwide, liver cancers are the third most common cause of cancer mortality. Even when liver cancer is suspected by blood tests, imaging is required to determine the location, size, and extent of disease. Medical societies therefore recommend surveillance with ultrasound every 6 months in at-risk patients. However, a key challenge to improving the survival is that ultrasound may miss half of early-stage liver cancers, thus diagnosis must rely on additional tests such as computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or biopsy. Hence, there is a clear need to improve the ability to detect liver cancers, especially with ultrasound. The investigator's team proposes novel ultrasound approaches to detect cancer nodules invisible on conventional ultrasound based on differences in mechanical and structural properties between liver and tumor. Improving detection is critical because liver cancer can be cured only if detected at an early stage, as shown by improvements in survival rates in patients enrolled in surveillance programs. The investigator's multi-disciplinary, national, and international team includes experts in clinical fields (hepatology, oncology, radiology, pathology), basic sciences (engineering, medical physics, machine learning, biostatistics), and patient partnership. The investirgator will apply the methodology of patient partner recruitment and collaborate with the Centre of Excellence on Partnership with Patients and the Public to select potential new collaborators. This will permit this project to be informed at every stage by patient and family perspectives, ensuring that the results of this project will be more robust, impactful, and aligned with the priorities, needs and experiences of those who live with liver cancer. The investigator submits a research proposal focused on advanced imaging techniques because imaging constitutes a foundation for surveillance, diagnosis, staging, treatment selection and assessment of treatment response in patients with liver cancer.
