Natural History of Depression, Bipolar Disorder and Suicide Risk
Mood disorders, such as depression and bipolar disorder, are difficult to treat. One reason is that there are no objective ways to measure how these disorders affect the body and respond to different treatments. In this study, researchers want to perform tests on people undergoing clinical care for mood disorders. …
Effect of Intradetrusor onabotulinumtoxinA Injection Versus Conservative Management on Female Sexual Function in Patients With Bladder Pain Syndrome
Interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) is estimated to affect 3.3 to 7.9 million women aged 18 years and older in the United States. The American Urological Association (AUA) defines IC/BPS as "an unpleasant sensation (pain, pressure, discomfort) perceived to be related to the urinary bladder, associated with lower urinary tract …
Microneurographic Assessment of Peripheral Nerves in Healthy Volunteers and Individuals With Sensory Dysfunction Caused by Inherited Mutations in the PIEZO2 Gene
Background PIEZO2 Deficiency Syndrome (PDS) is a genetic disorder that affects a person s ability to feel touches and pain. Researchers want to know more about how PDS changes nerve function. Objective To compare nerve function in people with PDS to that in people without PDS. Eligibility People aged 18 …
ReadMap: Reading in Stroke Alexia and Typical Aging
Loss of reading ability due to stroke, called alexia, likely affects over a million Americans at any given time and causes difficulty performing many daily life functions, such as paying bills, using email/text, reading for pleasure, and reading signs in the community. Understanding the brain and cognitive basis of alexia …
Arlington Longitudinal Optimal Healthy Aging Study (ALOHA)
The Arlington Longitudinal Optimal Healthy Aging (ALOHA) Study is a community-based research project led by the Marymount University Center for Optimal Aging (MCOA). The study is designed to help older adults in the Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia (DMV) area maintain independence, mobility, wellbeing and brain health as they age. …
Natural History Study to Determine Drug Metabolism Phenotype and Appropriate Germline Source DNA in Patients Undergoing Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant
Background After an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT), the donor genome is found in the recipient s circulation and tissues. Post-HSCT recipients may receive a medication in which the dosing needs to be adjusted based on genetic variation. While genes in donor genome may influence dosing and administration of …
Study to Understand the Genetic Risk of Developing an Immune Response After Blood Transfusions Among Individuals With Sickle Cell Disease
The purpose of this research study is to look at genes and determine how they interact with each other to find changes that could explain why some people's immune systems may respond to blood transfusions. This response is called an alloimmune response. We strongly believe that when someone has an …
Development of Patient-Reported Outcome Measures Assessing Tumor-Related Disfigurement and Appearance Concerns in Neurofibromatosis Type 1
Background Neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) is a disease that causes tumors to grow along the nerves. These include plexiform neurofibromas (pNF) and cutaneous neurofibromas (cNF). Both pNF and cNF can be visible to other people. These tumors can affect a person s appearance and quality of life. Researchers want to be …
Metagenomics Next-generation Sequencing Approach to Detect Microbial DNA/RNA Overtime in Individuals Undergoing Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant
Infections are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). The purpose of this study is to evaluate if metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) can detect microbial signatures in people undergoing HSCT, and if microbial identification can be correlated with clinical features of infection …
Cognitive Aftereffects of Neurotoxicity in Children and Young Adults With Relapsed/Refractory Hematologic Malignancies Who Receive CAR T-cell Therapy
Background CAR T-cell therapy is a promising new treatment for blood cancers. During treatment, a person s T-cells are genetically changed to kill cancer cells. Researchers want to learn more about the effects of potential problems that may be associated with this treatment. We are specifically interested in learning if …
