SCS Stimulation Clamp to Assess Impact of Stimulation on Glucose Metabolism
However, it is important to investigate a possible effect for two reasons: SCS could cause severe hypoglycemia which must be avoided. Furthermore, if SCS affects blood sugar levels, it is also of interest what mechanisms are involved and how this knowledge can be used to control elevated blood glucose levels.

Assessment of Lateral and Vertical Tissue Displacement Obtained by the Retraction Cord and Diode Laser
Lateral retraction displaces the tissues so that an adequate bulk of impression material can be interfaced with the prepared tooth. Vertical retraction exposes the uncut portion of the tooth apical to the finish line Conventional gingival retraction cord technique may injure the healthy epithelial lining and result in postoperative gingival …

Resting Full-cycle Flow Ratio (RFR) Versus Angiography to Guide Revascularization Strategy in Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery By-pass Grafting (CABG)
It is conceivable that a similar revascularization guidance could be useful also for surgical revascularization i.e. coronary by-pass graft (CABG). Experience learns that grafts placed on vessels with hemodynamically non-significant stenosis often occlude due to competitive antegrade flow.

Postop Hypofractionated Radiation Therapy and LHRH in Patients With Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer among Canadian men of which approximately 20-30% present with high-risk tumour characteristic. Although surgery can be curative in patients evidencing pathological high-risk disease (extracapsular extension, seminal vesicle involvement, positive surgical margins), a large proportion will develop biochemical failure within years from the …

Primary Organoid Models and Combined Nucleic Acids Therapeutics for Anti-HPV Treatments
However, few pharmacological options are available against oncogenic papilloma viruses and thus against recurrences The aim of this project is to develop relevant organoids models from patient biopsies that will be used to identify biomarkers and evaluate in a closest preclinical setting novel nucleic acids based therapeutic strategy for HPV-cervical-vaginal …

Lavender Aromasticks for Pain Control
The investigators hypothesize that individuals who use a lavender aromastick as a part of their pain management plan will report improved perceptions of the quality of their pain management as measured by the Revised American Pain Society Patient Outcome Questionnaire (APS-POQ-R). Subjects will be randomized to the control (empty aromastick) …

Effect of Brain Stimulation on Stepping Performance in Stroke Survivors and Healthy Adults
The total time commitment for Phase II study will be about 20 hours, a total of 18 hours for 12 exercise training sessions and two hours for a follow-up test. The investigators hypothesize that people with chronic stroke will show a slower rate of acquiring this leg skill as compared …

Targeting Risk Factors for Diabetes in Subjects With Normal Blood Cholesterol Using Omega-3 Fatty Acids
To date, it is unclear why lowering blood LDL is associated with higher risk for diabetes, and whether this can be treated naturally with certain nutrients. Investigators believe that lowering blood LDL by forcing LDL entry into the body tissue through their receptors promotes T2D.

Neoadjuvant T-VEC in High Risk Early Melanoma
The investigators predict that histologic clearance of the primary tumor in the surgical specimen will be associated with improved RFS. In summary, the goal of this project is to conduct a phase II study to evaluate efficacy of Talimogene laherparepvec in the neoadjuvant setting for primary invasive melanoma in effort …
