A team of researchers from the iDAPT labs at Toronto Rehabilitation Institute-University Health Network are dedicated to keeping Canadians safer this winter by offering evidence-based ratings on footwear that may reduce the risk of slips and falls on ice. The team has developed the first test of its kind in the world – the Maximum Achievable Angle (MAA) Testing Method – to validate slip resistant footwear on icy surfaces using real people in a simulated winter environment.
The Peter Munk Cardiac Centre has reached a major milestone within its Mechanical Circulatory Support Program - the largest mechanical heart program in Canada - implanting a 200th patient with a left ventricular assist device (LVAD).
The Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation is pleased to announce the launch of its annual Doves of Hope campaign. This year marks the 16th anniversary of the Doves of Hope Campaign.
A new method which doubles the usual time donor lungs can remain outside the body can benefit patients, staff and allow retrieval of donor lungs across greater geographical areas.
A signaling pathway has the potential to block a type of cancer in the cerebellum, suggests new research from a team at the Krembil Research Institute’s Donald K. Johnson Eye Institute.
The Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation is pleased to announce the Toronto Police Service has come on board to support breast cancer research at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre.
Researchers from the University Health Network have described the genomic landscape of schwannomas in a paper published online today in Nature Genetics. Schwannomas are one of the most common posterior fossa brain tumours and the most common spinal tumour.
On Saturday October 1st, Scotiabank Road Hockey to Conquer Cancer faced off for its sixth hugely successful year. This year, 1786 players and their donors raised $2.5 million!
Boosting a protective protein to stabilize blood vessels that are weakened by malaria showed improved survival, beyond that of antimalarial drugs alone in pre-clinical research. Toronto General Research Institute (TGRI) and the Sandra Rotman Centre for Global Health, University of Toronto and University Health Network (UHN) researchers describe in Science Translational Medicine how their approach bolsters the body’s own capabilities to protect itself against cerebral malaria, rather than solely targeting the malaria parasites in the blood.
Heart disease patients enrolled in a clinical trial - designed to test whether a stronger dose of the influenza vaccine can prevent death or hospitalization due to a heart attack, heart failure, stroke or pneumonia - have begun receiving their first flu shots in Toronto and Boston.
Patients, physicians and attendees will throw their lines in for an important catch today at the Caledon Mountain Trout Club during the first ‘Cast & Blast’ event to support research into the often fatal heart disorder called arrythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC). Spearheaded by Heather Cartweight, an ARVC patient, and her family, the event directly supports the Heather Cartwright Inherited Cardiomyopathy and Arrythmia Project at the Peter Munk Cardiac Centre (PMCC), University Health Network (UHN).
The Rexall OneWalk to Conquer Cancer announced 3,555 participants raised $6.5 million for Princess Margaret Cancer Centre as the event commenced on Saturday.
Professor Brian Hodges is awarded the 2016 Karolinska Institutet Prize for Research in Medical Education. His research has led to changes in educational practice, both scientific and practical, in the training of health professionals around the world. As an example, simulations and assessment of patients' mental health and students' communication skills are now included in medical examinations in many countries.
Breast cancer researchers have discovered that mutations found outside of genes that accumulate in estrogen receptor positive breast tumours throughout their development act as dominant culprits driving the disease.
Researchers at the Peter Munk Cardiac Centre, with expertise running large clinical trials, and at Mayo Clinic, are leading the Tailored Antiplatelet Therapy to Lessen Outcomes after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (TAILOR-PCI) study. This study has received $7 million in additional funding from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Prostate cancer researchers studying genetic variations have pinpointed 45 genes associated with disease development and progression.
The Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation is thrilled to announce the Ontario Hockey League Alumni Association (OHLAA) will be supporting this year’s Scotiabank Road Hockey to Conquer Cancer event.
Researchers from the University Health Network’s Department of Anesthesia and Pain Management and the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences (ICES) have determined that patients who have not had an opioid prescription within a year prior to their procedure are at low risk of developing persistent opioid use after major surgery.
