TIDES 2.0: Prevalence and Longitudinal Course of Depression, Anxiety, and Behavior Problems in Children With Cystic Fibrosis Under 12 Years of Age
This is a longitudinal, observational epidemiological study designed to estimate the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and behavior problems in children ages 18 months through 11 years with cystic fibrosis (CF).
Genetic and Environmental Risk Factors for Hemorrhagic Stroke
The purpose of this study is to find risk factors for hemorrhagic stroke.
The RECMAP-study: Resection With or Without Intraoperative Mapping for Recurrent Glioblastoma
Resection of glioblastoma in or near functional brain tissue is challenging because of the proximity of important structures to the tumor site. To pursue maximal resection in a safe manner, mapping methods have been developed to test for motor and language function during the operation. Previous evidence suggests that these …
Development and Testing of a Pediatric Cervical Spine Injury Risk Assessment Tool
Cervical spine injuries (CSI) are serious, but rare events in children. Spinal precautions (rigid cervical collar and immobilization on a longboard) in the prehospital setting may be beneficial for children with CSI, but are poorly studied. In contrast, spinal precautions for pediatric trauma patients without CSI are common and may …

Biospecimen Collection to Identify Gene Mutations for High Risk Pancreatic Cancer in Pediatric Patients, INSPPIRE 2 Study
This clinical trial collects blood, saliva, urine, or stool samples to help identify possible genetic mutations that may increase a person's chance at developing pancreatic cancer. Finding genetic markers among pediatric patients with acute recurrent pancreatitis and chronic pancreatitis may help identify patients who are at risk of pancreatic cancer.
The Million Anesthesia Cases Study (MACS) - a Cohort Study of Preoperative Fasting and Perioperative Outcomes
Perioperative fasting has historically been viewed as a low-risk intervention. However, preliminary data indicate that perioperative loss of nutrition and fluids is likely harmful. This study intends to characterize perioperative fasting practices and their potential effects on clinical outcomes through possible effects on patient well-being (anxiety, hunger, thirst), physiology (hypovolemia, …
Registry and Natural History of Epilepsy-Dyskinesia Syndromes
The Registry and Natural History of Epilepsy-Dyskinesia Syndromes is focused on gathering longitudinal clinical data as well as biological samples (blood, urine, and/or skin/tissue) from male and female patients, of all ages, who have a genetic diagnosis of epilepsy-dyskinesia syndromes. Through prospective review and molecular data analysis, the study aims …
