High Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation Versus High Frequency Jet Ventilation for Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia
The purpose of this study is to conduct a prospective study of all congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) neonates managed at the University of Utah newborn intensive care unit (NICU) and Primary Children's Hospital NICU that required mechanical ventilation at birth. As both high frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) and high frequency …
Fetal Endoscopic Tracheal Occlusion (FETO) for Severe Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia
The purpose of the study is to study the efficacy of fetal endoscopic tracheal occlusion (FETO) in cases of severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). This study will also collect safety and effectiveness data for the off-label use of the FETO Goldballoon (the balloon that will be inserted into the fetal …
Fetoscopic Endoluminal Tracheal Occlusion
The purpose of this research study is to see if the FETO surgery and FETO release (surgery to remove the device) works and is safe for babies with severe right or left Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH). CDH is a condition in which a hole in the baby's diaphragm allows the …
Trial of Fetoscopic Endoluminal Tracheal Occlusion (FETO) for CDH
The rationale for fetal therapy in severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is to restore adequate lung growth for neonatal survival.
Fetal Endoscopic Tracheal Occlusion (FETO) Trial for Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH)
This is a single site pilot trial to assess the feasibility and safety of treating severe CDH with Fetal Endoscopic Tracheal Occlusion with the Goldballoon Detachable Balloon (GOLDBAL2) along with the Delivery Microcatheter (BALTACCI-BDPE100) at Michigan Medicine. The study will enroll pregnant women that meet study criteria. Participants will have …
North American Fetal Therapy Network for Long-term Outcome Following Fetoscopic Endoluminal Tracheal Occlusion in Severe Left and Right Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia
The purpose of this study is to evaluate successful placement and removal of Fetoscopic Endoluminal Tracheal Occlusion (FETO) device in cases of intrathoracic liver herniation with isolated left congenital diaphragmatic hernia (LCDH) with Observed/Expected (O/E) Lung to Head Circumference Ratio (LHR) < 30% or isolated right congenital diaphragmatic hernia (RCDH) …
Fetal Endoscopic Tracheal Occlusion for CDH (CDH)
This is a single site pilot trial to assess the feasibility and safety of treating severe CDH with Fetal Endoscopic Tracheal Occlusion with the Goldballoon Detachable Balloon (GOLDBAL2) along with the Delivery Microcatheter (BALTACCI-BDPE100) at UC Davis Medical Center. The study will enroll pregnant women that meet study criteria. Participants …
RCT of Combination Effect of Vibration Treatment and HMB Supplementation on Myosteatosis and NMJ Degeneration
The investigators' pre-clinical study confirms the positive effects of combined treatment (VT + HMB) on reducing fat-to-lean tissue ratio, intramuscular fat infiltration and increasing muscle strength in sarcopenia animal model. The results showed that fat mass could be decreased by ~32%, while histology Oil Red O staining indicated a decrease …
Evaluation of Non-Surgical and Arthroscopic Treatment for Hip Microinstability
Microinstability of the hip joint is an important cause of hip pain and reduced hip function in young and active individuals. Hip microinstability is due to extraphysiologic hip motion and could be secondary to acetabular dysplasia, connective tissue disorder, macrotrauma, microtrauma, iatrogenic- and idiopathic causes. Treatment for hip microinstability is …
Physiological Umbilical Cord Clamping in Patients With Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia. Clinical Trial
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a malformation that affects 1 in every 3000 newborns. The diaphragm does not complete its closure during embryogenesis, which allows the abdominal organs to herniate into the thoracic cavity altering lung development. The lungs of patients with CDH are small, with a decreased surface area …
