A Study of Reduced Dosing of the Nonavalent HPV Vaccine in Women Living With HIV

There are very little data on human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination among the 18 million women living with HIV (WLWH) globally, who constitute a population most vulnerable to HPV and the resultant cervical cancer. Particularly, there are no data to date on reduced-dose schedules of nonavalent HPV (9vHPV) vaccination in WLWH …

Exploratory Observational Prospective Study in Neonatal and Pediatric Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia

CDH is associated with lung hypoplasia, pulmonary hypertension, and left ventricular hypoplasia. Use of new STE techniques (heart ultrasound) showed that CDH newborns have decreased LV size and function, potentially explaining the non-response to iNO, and that these cardiac findings were associated with poor outcomes. Our hypothesis: CDH newborns persist …

NIRS in Congenital Heart Defects - Correlation With Echocardiography

Neonatal patients with congenital heart defects (CHD) have changing physiology in the context of transitional period. Patients with CHD are at risk of low perfusion status or abnormal pulmonary blood flow. Near infrared spectroscopy has been used in neonatal intensive care units (NICU) to measure end-organ perfusion. The investigator plan …

Postnatal Steroids Effects on Cardiac Function in Extremely Preterm

Hypothesis/Study question In infants born at less than 29 weeks of estimated gestational age, what are the effects of dexamethasone use on cardiac structure/performance and lung water content? Study objectives To measure effects before and after dexamethasone administration on cardiac structure/performance will be evaluated by using the M-mode technique (Devereux …

Cardiac Sarcoidosis Randomized Trial

Prospective randomized controlled trial comparing low dose Prednisone(or Prednisolone)/Methotrexate combination to standard dose Prednisone(or Prednisolone) in patients diagnosed with acute active clinically manifest cardiac sarcoidosis and not yet treated. The Investigators hypothesize that low dose Prednisone(or Prednisolone)/Methotrexate combination will be as effective as standard dose Prednisone(or Prednisolone), and result in …

The MARVIN Chatbots to Provide Information for Different Health Conditions

This research is a continuation of a usability study with the MARVIN chatbot. The investigators aim to adapt the MARVIN chatbot to open it to other health domains (e.g. breast cancer) and populations (e.g. pharmacists). Therefore, this protocol constitutes a master research protocol that will englobe different research projects with …

Exercise to Improve Sleep in Parkinson's Disease

This study will investigate the impact of three common exercise modalities, cardiovascular, resistance, and multimodal (i.e., a combination of the previous two) training, on sleep quality and architecture in persons with Parkinson's disease (PD). Furthermore, the project will investigate whether the potential positive exercise-induced changes in sleep are associated with …
