Since 2012, the Online Therapy Unit has been offering Internet-delivered cognitive behaviour therapy (ICBT). ICBT represents a convenient method for individuals to access care for depression and anxiety. In ICBT, clients receive access to standardized lessons that provide the same information and skills as traditional face-to-face CBT. ICBT courses often span 6-12 weeks. There is now growing evidence that clients with symptoms of depression and anxiety can benefit from a single session brief intervention that offers practical strategies for improving mental health, but the investigators are uncertain about the interest in such a lesson among those seeking online mental health care. The Things You Do Course, therefore, is designed to provide clients with 5 key actions that clients can take to improve their emotional wellbeing. In this study, the Online Therapy Unit (OTU) is examining how effective the Things You Do Course is in helping clients manage their symptoms of depression and anxiety and improve their emotional wellbeing. The OTU is also exploring the extent to which clients are satisfied with the course, and what factors contribute to improvements in symptoms, as measured by a number of questionnaires. The research will ultimately be used to improve how the OTU will deliver ICBT and to inform whether to include the single session course within existing online mental health service options.

Patients with a primary invasive melanoma are recommended to undergo excision of the primary lesion with a wide margin. There is evidence that less radical margins of excision may be just as safe. This is a randomised controlled trial of 1 cm versus 2 cm margin of excision of the primary lesion for adult patients with stage II primary invasive cutaneous melanomas (AJCC 8th edition) to determine differences in disease-free survival. A reduction in margins is expected to improve patient quality of life.

The goal of this interventional study is to develop an individualized approach using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in a high-precision manner. This approach will use TMS to modulate brain activity at multiple locations simultaneously. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and electroencephalograph (EEG) will record the responses and guide the stimulation. Specifically, the placement and orientation of TMS coils will be tailored to stimulate the targeted functional brain areas informed by fMRI. To maximize the interventional effect, stimulation pulses will be delivered based on EEG oscillations.

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is the most common opportunistic infection in lung transplantation leading to direct and indirect effects that can result in life threatening complications. The risk of CMV infection is highest when the recipient of the transplant has never been in contact with CMV (negative immunity) and the donor had previous contact with CMV (positive immunity). This is called CMV mismatch. For these lung transplant patients 6 to 12 months of prophylaxis with an antiviral called Valganciclovir is recommended. This antiviral can cause side effects like bone marrow toxicity and decrease in immune cells which can result in temporarily having to stop the treatment. Starting and stopping the prophylaxis may result in the CMV becoming resistant to the medication. While taking the prophylaxis it is possible to have a breakthrough of the CMV, this is often due to the development of resistance to the antiviral. The purpose of this study is to learn more about the rate of CMV breakthrough while on prophylaxis after lung transplantation in patients who are CMV mismatch. The investigators will also look at the rates of negative side effects caused by antiviral prophylaxis in this population.

This phase I trial tests the safety and tolerability of olaparib in combination with durvalumab and radiation therapy in patients with pancreatic cancer that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) and cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). Olaparib is an inhibitor of PARP, an enzyme that helps repair deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) when it becomes damaged. Blocking PARP may help keep cancer cells from repairing their damaged DNA, causing them to die. PARP inhibitors are a type of targeted therapy. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays, particles, or radioactive seeds to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. The combination of targeted therapy with olaparib, immunotherapy with durvalumab and radiation therapy may stimulate an anti-tumor immune response and promote tumor control in locally advanced unresectable pancreatic cancer.

Osteoarthritis (OA) of the shoulder is a disease resulting from the wearing down of cartilage over time. OA can produce pain and dysfunction at the affected joint and is a growing occurrence in an aging population. Total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) is a surgical treatment used to treat patients with shoulder OA which involves replacing the worn-out ball and socket shoulder joint with prosthetic components. TSA is performed today with high success rates, however, complication rates associated with TSA remain prevalent particularly when the arthritis is associated with bone erosion on the glenoid (socket). Given the high rate of revisions associated with TSA treatment in the setting of glenoid bone erosion, a number of surgical strategies have been developed. These surgical techniques include eccentric reaming which involves removing bone from the front of the socket, augmented glenoid component implantation, and posterior bone grafting to compensate for glenoid bone loss, and reverse shoulder arthroplasty. Few research studies have compared these different surgical techniques to one another. Previous studies have been limited to case series with small sample sizes and respective designs. This study is being conducted to determine which approach produces better outcomes. For the purpose of this study we will be comparing total shoulder arthroplasty techniques a) augmented glenoid component and eccentric reaming and b) augmented glenoid component and bone grafting in participants with advanced glenohumeral osteoarthritis.

Combined spinal-epidural (CSE) for labor analgesia has been used for many years and is practiced commonly at our institution, especially when the patient requests immediate pain relief. CSE is not only beneficial for its faster onset of analgesia, but also it is favorable in relation to the need for rescue analgesia, urinary retention, and rate of instrumental delivery compared to the traditional epidural. Despite its beneficial effects, there is a risk of about 15-30% of developing abnormal fetal heart rate following CSE. This is self-resolving with minimal or no intervention. Although the cause of fetal bradycardia is not fully elucidated, variations in uterine artery blood flow after epidural analgesia are thought to be due to the interaction of numerous events related to blockade of sympathetic innervations, fluid administration, maternal hypotension, uterine vascular effects of sympathetic block, fluctuations in circulating catecholamines, and possibly the effect of opioids. Similar mechanism is thought to be a cause of fetal bradycardia after the CSE with its faster onset and superior block. Maternal or fetal circulation during labor can be assessed using continuous-wave Doppler ultrasound to monitor maternal uterine artery (UtA) and fetal umbilical artery (UmA) velocity waveforms to detect changes in blood flow. The velocimetry indices mentioned above have been often used to assess the changes in the blood flow before and after the induction of epidural analgesia during labor in several studies. Although there are some studies regarding the effect of labor epidural analgesia using velocimetry indices, but there is currently no published study evaluating velocimetry indices of uterine and umbilical arteries before and after the induction of CSE. Thus, the aim of this study is to investigate the impact of CSE to maternal and fetal blood flow to evaluate the relationships. The investigators hypothesize that both uterine artery and umbilical artery blood flow are reduced after the induction of CSE, which may be responsible for the occurrence of fetal bradycardia.
