This is a 12-week prospective study with two phases. In Phase 1 (Weeks 1-4), participants will self-monitor their blood pressure using the Qardio bluetooth device. In Phase 2 (Weeks 5-12), the investigators will implement the auto-messaging system triggered by a weekly average systolic blood
Idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder of unknown etiology, characterized by bradykinesia (slowness of movements) associated with tremor at rest and/or muscle rigidity. PD is typically associated with a significant loss of dopaminergic neurons in the
According to worldwide study of prevalence of myeloproliferative neoplasms revealed:
Incidence of polycythemia vera ranged 0.01 to 2.61 per 100.000 population and the prevalence ranging from 0.49 to 46.88 per 100.000 population. Incidence of essential thrombocythemia is 0.21 to 2.27 per 100.000
Integrins are a group of molecules responsible for intercellular adhesion and signalling. They comprise a superfamily of heterodimeric receptors that are composed of 18 different α and β subunits. In combination, they can generate 24 different receptor subtypes with a range of physiological and
Sickle Cell Disease related pulmonary hypertension is a heterogeneous condition that results in a high mortality and for which no therapy has been documented to be beneficial. We propose to perform a safety and tolerability study of treatments based on right heart catheterization derived hemodynamic
Study population: 44 (+22) patients undergoing CABG cardiac surgery with extracorporal circulation Intervention (if applicable): none (pharmacological interventions will only be performed ex-vivo in isolated atrial tissue) Main study parameters/endpoints The developed force in ex vivo atrial
PROTOCOL SYNOPSIS
Title of the study A pilot study to assess the feasibility of unrelated umbilical cord blood transplantation with coinfusion of third-party mesenchymal stem cells after myeloablative or nonmyeloablative conditioning in patients with hematological malignancies.

Specific Aims
To test the global hypothesis that increases in insulin signaling through either PI-3-kinase or MAP kinase pathways correlate with improvements in NO production or NOS expression in skeletal muscle following pioglitazone therapy, we will determine whether 6 months of Pioglitazone

Breast cancer is one of the leading cancers among white and African American women; its incidence has increased from one in 20 in 1960 to one in eight today ARMSTRONG 2000. In Canada alone, approximately 22,000 women are diagnosed each year with breast cancer and over 5,000
Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) is caused by autoimmune and autoinflammatory destruction of the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreatic islets of Langerhans. Historically, treatment for this condition has consisted of insulin replacement therapy and dietary modification. Recent studies have
Idiopathic pulmonary artery hypertension (IPAH) is a rare but progressive disease in children and adults with a very high mortality from right heart failure. Platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) has been implicated in the pulmonary artery remodeling and vascular proliferation that is a pathologic
