The Impact of COVID-19 on Maternal and Neonatal Outcomes
The novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) infection (COVID-19) has caused a worldwide pandemic. There is still much that is unknown regarding the virus, especially its effects on pregnancy, the fetus, and the neonate. This study seeks to evaluate adverse pregnancy and neonatal outcomes related to COVID-19 infection. The FDA has authorized emergency …
Measuring Protein Turnover in Humans Across the Lifespan by Metabolic Labeling With Deuterium Oxide
Background Proteins are essential to the health and structure of the cells that make up body tissues. Most proteins become damaged over time and are replaced with new ones. This process is called "protein turnover." Stress, disease, and aging can affect this process. Researchers want to better understand how aging …
Predicting Outcomes in Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation Therapy With Stimulated Upper Airway Mechanics
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a highly prevalent disease resulting from dynamic upper airway collapse during sleep. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is highly efficacious but high rates of non-adherence to CPAP leaves large number of OSA patients at risk for cardiometabolic sequelae. Inspire™ is an FDA-approved hypoglossal nerve stimulation …
Investigating Dyadic Expectations About ARF Survivorship (IDEAS)
The purpose of this observational study is to understand how adults who survive acute respiratory failure (ARF) and the people (usually family) who support ARF survivors after returning home think about the first 6 months of recovery. The study aims to find out if expectations about the recovery process after …
Improving Outcomes for Patients With Life-Threatening Neurologic Illness
Background While the intensive care of patients with life-threatening brain illnesses has advanced tremendously, a large number of therapies are still without proper scientific support. This can be partly explained by the fact that mechanisms of initial brain injury are still not well understood. Why additional neurological injury occurs during …
Genetic and Epigenetic Signatures of Translational Aging Laboratory Testing (GESTALT)
Background Biomarkers are substances in people s blood and tissues. They help researchers understand diseases and signs of aging. Scientists want to do more research on biomarkers to find ways to improve quality of life in old age. Objective To learn more about biomarkers and their relationship to aging. Eligibility …
Genetics of Charcot Marie Tooth (CMT) - Modifiers of CMT1A, New Causes of CMT2
This project includes two projects. One is looking for new genes that cause Charcot Marie Tooth disease (CMT). The other is looking for genes that do not cause CMT, but may modify the symptoms a person has.
A Multicenter Access and Distribution Protocol for Unlicensed Cryopreserved Cord Blood Units (CBUs)
This study is an access and distribution protocol for unlicensed cryopreserved cord blood units (CBUs) in pediatric and adult patients with hematologic malignancies and other indications.
Pancreatic Cancer Registry: For Any Person With a Personal or Family History
The NFPTR was established in 1994 to find the causes of pancreatic cancer. In brief, the investigators are interested in both the genetic and non-genetic causes of pancreatic cancer. The investigators are particularly interested in finding the genes that cause pancreatic cancer to cluster in some families. Up to 10% …
Long-Term Follow-Up of Patients Who Have Participated in Children's Oncology Group Studies
This clinical trial keeps track of and collects follow-up information from patients who are currently enrolled on or have participated in a Children's Oncology Group study. Developing a way to keep track of patients who have participated in Children's Oncology Group studies may allow doctors learn more about the long-term …
