This study will look at the function of arteries feeding the brain at rest and during handgrip exercise in adults.
Effects of exercise on sexual function and cardiovascular health in men with prostate cancer (ESCA) study
The purpose of this research study is to implement and evaluate a sexual function and cardiovascular health-targeted intervention during and following treatment for prostate cancer. We seek men aged 18 years or more who have been, or have previously been, diagnosed with prostate cancer.
An evidence-based intervention (“Fit for Treatment”) to prevent cancer treatment-induced toxicities in cancer patients
The purpose of this research study is to implement and evaluate a cancer-related fatigue and neurotoxicity-targeted intervention during treatments for cancer (such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, hormone therapy, and/or immunotherapy). We seek people aged 18 years or more who are cancer patients prescribed a chemotherapy, radiotherapy, hormone therapy, and/or immunotherapy regimen.
Investigating the role of mechanical load on foot pain and disease in rheumatoid arthritis
The aim is this project is to quantify the loads and function of the foot in people with rheumatoid arthritis (with or without foot pain) and compare this to individuals without rheumatoid arthritis (with or without pain).
