Prospective Single-Timepoint Huntington's Disease Biospecimen Collection Study
OBJECTIVES The primary study objective is to collect blood from participants with Huntington's Disease in order to validate a CE marked Cytosine, Adenine, Guanine (CAG) assay for use in future studies for Huntington's Disease. The secondary study objective is to create a biorepository that can be used to identify disease …
Perioperative Cerebrovascular Autoregulation Monitoring in Neurosurgical Patients
One of the challenges in pediatric anesthesiology is to ensure adequate cerebral perfusion pressure to prevent cerebral ischemia or hyperemia from pressure-passive perfusion. However, there is no optimal tool for longitudinally monitoring cerebral perfusion under general anesthesia (GA). In addition, the safe limits of blood pressure that maintains adequate cerebral …
A Post-Approval Registry for Exablate 4000 Type 1.0 and Type 1.1 for Unilateral Thalamotomy for the Treatment of Medication-Refractory Tremor Dominant Idiopathic Parkinson's Disease
The objectives of this study are to collect the long-term safety and effectiveness data of performing thalamotomy for tremor dominant Parkinson's Disease (TDPD) using the Exablate Neuro system.
The Mycophenolate Pregnancy Registry
The Mycophenolate Pregnancy Registry is designed as a prospective, observational registry collecting data regarding mycophenolate exposure during pregnancy, and pregnancy outcomes, fetal and infant outcomes after exposure. Early and later term pregnancy outcomes will be solicited at selected gestational time points. Structural and functional birth defects identified in the perinatal …
Beyond Monoamines: The Role of the Nociceptin/Orphanin FQ Receptor in Major Depression
This study looks at the role of the Nociceptin/Orphanin FQ receptor system in the brain of individuals with current or past major depressive disorder (MDD). It also examines how individuals with a history of depression make certain decisions and which brain regions are involved in such decisions. Information collected through …
A Prospective and Retrospective Observational Study of Multidrug-Resistant Patient Outcomes With and Without Ibalizumab
The virological efficacy of ibalizumab has been clearly demonstrated in multiple clinical trials. This study will expand ibalizumab's clinical data set and allow a better understanding of the virologic response durability on ARV regimens with or without ibalizumab in a heterogeneous real-world patient population. Additional data on the efficacy and …
A Multi-Modal Remote Monitoring Platform for Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration (FTLD) Syndromes
The primary objective of this study is to enroll an observational cohort of approximately 60 patients with PSP over the course of 24 months using a multicenter study design and to follow each of them for 12 months. The secondary objective of this study is to develop a robust solution …
Perinatal Brain Injury: Potential of Innovative NIRS to Optimize Hypothermia
The purpose of this study is to improve the ability of the investigators to monitor brain health in newborn babies at risk of brain injuries. The researchers will be using an investigational system of devices to non-invasively (that, is, without penetrating the skin), measure the amount of oxygen going to …
mTBI Identification and Monitoring Through Retinal Scanning
Rebion has developed a device, the Rebion trauma tool (referred to as the head and intraocular trauma tool, or "HITT"), that detects ocular fixation and alignment using a binocular retinal scan. Preliminary data obtained from hospitalized patients with a clinically-confirmed traumatic brain injury (TBI) and uninjured controls indicates that the …
Minority Barriers in Anesthesia
The investigators aim to survey members of the ASA (medical students, residents, and attendings) who self-identify as minorities to assess if there are systemic barriers to minorities pursuing leadership positions. The investigators hypothesize that structural issues such as a lack of formalized mentoring programs play a role in reduced minority …
