Study of Gastric Motility in Eosinophilic Gastritis
Purpose The study is a cross-sectional observational study designed to determine if eosinophilic gastritis (EG) results in gastric motility impairment. Hypothesis Gastric dysfunction occurs in the natural history of EG but is underdiagnosed due, in part, to contraindications to the use of the standard meals used in gastric emptying studies.
Leukapheresis to Obtain Plasma or Lymphocytes for Studies of HIV-infected Patients, Including Long-term Non-progressors
This study will collect white blood cells and plasma for research on how the immune system controls HIV infection. The immune system of a very small group of HIV-infected patients, called non-progressors, has been able to control HIV for long periods without antiretroviral therapy. Some immune system-related genes important for …
Natural History of Pregnancy and Pregnancy Outcomes in Metreleptin-Treated vs Untreated Subjects With Lipodystrophy
Background Lipodystrophy is a health problem in which the body does not have enough fat tissue. People with lipodystrophy may not make enough of the hormone leptin. Leptin regulates hunger. Low leptin levels trigger hunger. People with lipodystrophy can have many health problems. They may take a drug (metreleptin) that …

Molecular Characterization of Viral-associated Tumors, Tumors Occurring in the Setting of HIV or Other Immune Disorders and Castleman Disease
Background A person s genome is the collection of all their genes. A gene instructs individual cells to make proteins. Proteins are involved in all of our body s chemical processes. Genome sequencing allows researchers to find variations in genes. Some of these are normal and are not known to …
Natural History of Anthrax: a Study of Primary Infected, Recovered, and Exposed Individuals (SPoRE); and Evaluation of AVA-Vaccinated Recipients
This study will examine pathophysiology and immune response of anthrax in infected or exposed individuals to learn more about the disease symptoms, prevention and response to treatment. In addition, it will evaluate immune response to the anthrax vaccine AVA (Anthrax Vaccine Adsorbed) in healthy, non-infected individuals. The following individuals may …
Acute Infection in Mitochondrial Disease: Metabolism, Infection and Immunity During the COVID19 Pandemic
Background Mitochondrial disease is a rare disorder. It can cause poor growth, developmental delays, muscle weakness, and other symptoms. The disease is usually inherited. It can be present at birth or develop later in life. Infection is a major cause of disease and death in people with this disease. Researchers …
