the Effect of Adult Intubated Patient Clinical Pathway on Post-extubation Complications Prevention
Post- extubation complications delay the complete recovery of critically ill patient. The clinical pathway is one strategies that help to manage and control these complications.
Non-standardized vs. Standardized Screening for Dysphagia
The purpose of this study is to compare two different screening tests for detecting dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) as well as the risk for aspiration (silent swallowing of liquids/solids into the lungs) in patients after an ischemic stroke (when a blood clot blocks or narrows an artery leading to the brain).
Design of a Food Preference Assessment Tool for Older Patients in Geriatrics units_DYSPHAGING-PREFERENCES
Swallowing disorders - or oral dysphagia (OD) - are identified as a cause of malnutrition. They gradually lead patients to withdraw certain foods from their diet, leading to progressive dietary imbalances, or increased cardiovascular risks. Two European societies (the European Society for Swallowing Disorders and the European Union Geriatric Medicine …
Biological Determinants and Neural Compensation of Dysphagia in Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder and frequently leads to oropharyngeal dysphagia, a swallowing disorder that strongly affects patient health and quality of life. Dysphagia in PD is associated with aspiration pneumonia, malnutrition, and impaired medication intake, which together represent one of the leading causes of …
Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF) - Behavioral Intervention
This study will prospectively recruit and enroll patients undergoing primary Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF) surgeries at NYU Langone. Participants will undergo pre-operative and six-week post-operative swallowing assessment using videofluoroscopy (VFSS). Acoustic voice samples and Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) for swallowing and voice will also be collected. Beginning …
Effect of an Oral Neuromuscular Training Device on Dysphagia
Dysphagia is a frequent complication following stroke, with an estimated prevalence of 42%. One training modality which have been implemented in both hospitals and municipalities for alleviating dysphagia are oral neuromuscular training devices. These devices are hand-held acrylic devices which are inserted between the lips and teeth by the patient …
Phase 1 Study of PF-08046033 in Advanced Solid Tumors
This is an early-stage (Phase 1) clinical study testing a new study medicine called PF-08046033. The goal of the study is to understand how safe the medicine is, how well people tolerate it, how it behaves in the body, and whether it shows early signs of helping to treat cancer. …
Serologic Response to Pneumococcal Vaccination Among Esophageal Cancer Patients With High Grade Lymphopenia After Chemoradiation
To learn how radiation treatment may affect your responses to vaccines against pneumonia.
Clinical & Pathological Studies of Upper Gastrointestinal Carcinoma
Our research of the biology of upper gastrointestinal cancers involves the study of tissue samples and cells from biopsies of persons with gastric or esophageal cancer or blood samples from upper gastrointestinal cancer patients and persons at high inherited risk for these cancers. We hope to learn the role genes …
Pharmacokinetic Study of Skeletal Muscle Area-based Paclitaxel Infusion in Patients With Cancer
The primary objective of this pharmacokinetics study is to compare the maximum concentration level of paclitaxel in patients with low/sarcopenic skeletal muscle area (SMA), at the end of a 2-3 hour paclitaxel infusion, to the maximum level in patients with normal SMA at the end of a standard 1-hour infusion …
