Longitudinal Studies to Identify Biomarkers for Sturge-Weber Syndrome
Individuals with Sturge-Weber Syndrome (SWS) sometimes have brain involvement which can result in seizures, stroke-like episodes and neurologic deficits. The purpose of this study is to integrate longitudinal clinical data, radiological data, and blood biomarkers of Sturge-Weber syndrome patients. The research aims are: To integrate longitudinal clinical data, radiological data, …
Imaging Genetics of Laryngeal Dystonia
The contribution of genetic risk factors to the development of focal dystonias is evident. However, understanding of how variations in the causative gene expression lead to variations in brain abnormalities in different phenotypes of dystonia (e.g., familial, sporadic) remains limited. The research program of the investigators is set to determine …
Cerebrospinal Fluid Biomarkers of Myotonic Dystrophy
Myotonic dystrophy is associated with central sleep apnea, excessive daytime sleepiness, diminished working memory, impaired visuospatial skills, and deficits in problem-solving skills. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a clear, colorless fluid that surrounds and protects the brain. Changes in the composition of CSF can serve as early indicators of changes in …
M-Vizion™ Macroscopic Radiographic Study
Study of the patient's subsidence after revision hip arthroplasty by assessing gross stem subsidence in the femoral canal.
An Ethical Approach to Detecting Covert Consciousness
This study aims to develop an ethical approach to developing and deploying novel neurotechnologies to aid in the detection of consciousness and prediction of recovery after brain injury.
A Prospective Sub-Study of the Global Hypophosphatasia Registry
In this prospective observational sub-study, participants with pediatric-onset hypophosphatasia (HPP) (perinatal/infantile- or juvenile-onset) of any age will be followed for a minimum of 5 years at sites in the United States and potentially 1 or 2 other countries.
Impact of Thrombocytopenia and Platelet Transfusions on Neonatal Bleeding and Inflammation
This is a prospective observational study that was designed with the following two Specific Aims To determine whether the Immature Platelet Fraction percentage (IPF%) and the Immature Platelet Count (IPC) are better predictors of bleeding than the platelet count alone in neonates of different gestational and post-conceptional ages and with …
Mapping and Quantifying Lymphatic Drainage of the Arm's Alternate Pathway
Using indocyanine green (ICG) lymphography and lymphoscintigraphy with SPECT/CT imaging, the aim is to evaluate the anatomy of the lymphatic system pathway in two separate populations: healthy female volunteers and women with a history of breast cancer who did not develop lymphedema.
A Retrospective and Prospective Natural History of Genetic Vasculopathies
This study will combine retrospective review of medical records from patients with ACTA2 and ongoing collection of clinical data using standardized instruments and intervals on an observational basis from patients with ACTA2. Patients in cohorts 1-3 will be asked to attend clinic visits in person per the schedule of events. …
