A More Engaging Visual Field Test to Increase Use and Reliability in Pediatrics
The majority of young children do not think that visual field (VF) testing of peripheral vision is similar to a game; therefore, it is not surprising that they have difficulty maintaining attention during VF testing and thus the test reliability suffers as a consequence. Poor VF reliability has been a …
Electrical Stimulation for the Treatment of Optic Neuropathies
The overall aim of this study is to see whether long-term electrical stimulation with a home-stimulation device works well and is safe for the treatment of open-angle glaucoma. Open-Angle Glaucoma is a disease where the nerves in the back of your eye die off faster than expected regardless of your …
Development of Novel Physiological CMR Methods in Health and Disease
Physiological cardiovascular stress test plays a crucial role in the assessment of patients with suspected heart disease. There are several methods of cardiac physiological stress tests and each of them offer varied insight into cardiac physiological adaptation: passive leg raise, intra-venous fluid challenge, pharmacological stressors and physical exercise stress test. …
Hyperpolarized 129Xe MR Imaging of Lung Function in Healthy Volunteers and Subjects With Pulmonary Disease
The purpose of this study is to develop and evaluate the usefulness of hyperpolarized (HP) 129Xe gas MRI for regional assessment of pulmonary function.
Optimize Pediatric OCT Imaging
Handheld optical coherence tomography (OCT) has become an important imaging modality to evaluate the pediatric retina. The objective of this pilot study is to compare a new contact OCT system (Theia Imaging) with an investigational noncontact OCT system (Duke Biomedical Engineering) to assess their ability to image the pediatric retina. …
Optimizing Cardiovascular Preventive Care for Women Following Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death among women in the United States, and women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy have a 2-fold higher risk for cardiovascular disease later in life compared to women with uncomplicated pregnancies. This research investigates a patient-centered intervention during the postpartum period to promote …
A Study of Mosliciguat in Combination With Inhaled Treprostinil in PH-ILD
This is a Phase 2, open-label, multi-center clinical study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of inhaled mosliciguat in participants with pulmonary hypertension associated with interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD) on a background inhaled treprostinil.
Transcorneal Electrical Stimulation for the Treatment of Visual Field Defects in Patients With Open-Angle Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a progressive optic neuropathy with retinal ganglion cell loss which leads to visual field loss. Open-angle glaucoma is the most common form of glaucoma. The aim of this pilot study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the treatment of visual field defects using transcorneal electrical stimulation …
Advancing Pediatric Retinal Imaging With Auto-aligned OCT
The goal of the current study is to conduct a pilot study to test a new version of the handheld OCT device capable of auto-alignment to image the retina in adult volunteers, and adult and pediatric patients in clinic.
TIPS With or Without BCAA
Cirrhosis is a major global cause of morbidity and mortality in chronic liver disease patients, accounting for 2.4% of global deaths in 2019. A 1990-2017 Global Burden of Disease study showed rising cirrhosis-related deaths, bringing heavy health and economic burdens. It often leads to portal hypertension and subsequent complications like …
