NCT01402661
This prospective, non-interventional research registry is designed to study the comparative effectiveness and comparative safety of approved treatments for RA in a cohort of patients cared for by rheumatologists across North America. Secondary objectives include analyzing the epidemiology and natural history of the disease, its comorbidities, and current treatment practices.

Transcranial focused ultrasound (tFUS) offers a platform for non-invasive imaging and treatment of the brain and pathology of the brain -- allowing high resolution imaging in both spatial and temporal dimensions. Compared with the gold- standard for brain imaging, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound offers reduced contrast while providing improved sampling in time through a significantly more cost-effective approach. In addition, while MRI is used to guide invasive treatments, only ultrasound can offer treatments through three primary mechanisms: 1) neuromodulation, 2) blood brain barrier modulation, and thermal/mechanical ablation through high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). All three treatment options require targeting therapy through the skull, which remains a barrier to clinical translation. This proposal is to test the feasibility of acquiring noninvasive targeting imaging intraoperatively prior to clinically indicated cranial neurosurgery. By acquiring volumetric ultrasound images while coregistered to previously obtained stereotactic magnetic resonance imaging, the study will be able to compare the ability of tFUS to identify and focus on brain pathology.
NCT07203911
The goal of this clinical trial is to improve the surgical treatment of patients with oral cancer. We will explore whether the use of surgeon performed ultrasound during these surgeries result in better tumor removal. We hypothesize that using intraoperative ultrasound to assist the resection results in more frequent clear surgical margins in oral cancer surgeries compared to standard methods. This improvement is associated with a reduced need for post-operative adjuvant therapies such as radiotherapy and reoperation, lower mortality rates, lower cancer recurrence, and enhanced quality of life for patients undergoing surgery for oral cancer. Participants will be randomized to either the control or intervention group: * Control group will receive standard treatment for oral cancer. * Intervention group will in addition to the standard treatment have surgery performed using ultrasound to guide the resection and evaluate resection margins intraoperatively. Outcomes: * Number of free surgical margins between control and intervention group. * Intraoperative surgeon assessed surgical margins compared to final histology report. * Dysphagia and quality of life questionnaires. * Recurrence rates. * Mortality rates. All participant will be followed-up at 3 months and 12 months with: * MDADI dysphagia questionnaire * EORTC head and neck cancer quality of life questionnaire * Follow-up on recurrrence and mortality.
