Healthy Volunteers

The purpose of this study is evaluate the safety and efficacy of a new vaccine to protect children against bacteria that can lead to pneumococcal disease. 

The purpose of this study is to determine the lung and immune function benefits of stopping vaping for 72 hours in young adults who use e-cigarettes containing nicotine. The study also aims to determine if telling participants of their own personalized changes to their lung and immune function following the 72 hour abstinence period affects their motivation in quitting vaping.

The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak and related quarantine measures on the physical and mental well-being of health care workers, as well as the general population.

To determine how much noise is required during testing to make sure that each ear is assessed separately during an auditory assessment in infants. 

This is an observational study designed to determine the relationship between quantitative advanced MRI measures and OCT with PET measurements of microglial activation and myelin health. 

The AMPLATZER LAA Occluder is a transcatheter, self-expanding nitinol device intended for use in preventing thrombus embolization from the LAA. The purpose of this study is to compile real world outcome data on the use of AMPLATZER LAA Occluder in subjects with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF)

To determine the effects of aerobic exercise on hippocampal volumes and severity of psychotic symptoms in a population of psychosis patients compared to healthy age/gender matched volunteers. Psychosis patients often suffer from a number of cognitive difficulties, including poor memory function, poor problem-solving capacity and difficulties with attention and concentration. These problems are not well addressed by current clinical treatments.

People who may be at increased risk of lung cancer due to age and smoking history will be invited to participate in this international study to determine the best way of using computed tomography (CT) of the chest to screen for early lung cancer. Overseas data show that CT screening (screening tests can find diseases early, when they're easier to treat) can reduce deaths from lung cancer and this study will help determine who is most likely benefit from screening.

The proposed SYNERGIC trial is uniquely designed to evaluate the effect of aerobic and progressive resistance training exercises, combined with cognitive training and Vitamin D3 supplementation, in cognition and mobility in older adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI).

This study will maximize identification of women with Lynch Syndrome using an enhanced screening strategy to identify those at risk. These women will be referred to genetic counselling for testing and those found to have Lynch Syndrome will be asked to invite first degree relatives to participate and undergo genetic testing for Lynch Syndrome.

To examine the effects of Parkinson's medication on decision making and risk taking in Parkinson's patients and healthy controls. 

This study will test the safety and tolerability of a medium chain triglyceride (MCT) supplement in those with Alzheimer Disease (AD).
