The Sinonasal Cavity as a Reservoir for Upper Airway Bacterial Development
While the maternal-newborn exchange of airway microbiota is well-documented, no studies have examined within-subject relationships among the mouth, sinuses, nasopharynx and lungs and the relative abundance of bacterial taxa at those sites. Recent evidence suggests the oral cavity may serve as a reservoir for pathogens that translocate to non-oral locations; …
Pediatric cGVHD Symptom Scale
Background Some children/adolescents who have had a stem cell transplant live with chronic graft-versus-host-disease (cGVHD). cGVHD is a side effect of the transplant that can cause multiple bothersome symptoms and negatively affect a child/adolescent squality of daily life. The questionnaires that measure thesymptoms caused by cGVHD are designed for adults. …
The Biomarkers in the Hyperbaric Oxygen Brain Injury Treatment Trial (BioHOBIT)
There are no therapeutic agents that have been shown to improve outcomes from severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). Critical barriers to progress in developing treatments for severe TBI are the lack of: 1) monitoring biomarkers for assessing individual patient response to treatment; 2) predictive biomarkers for identifying patients likely to …
Udall Project 2 Aim 2A&C
This protocol will leverage the novel (on-label, FDA-approved) local field potential measuring capability of the Medtronic Percept™ PC DBS system to study the effects of globus pallidus internus and globus pallidus externus (GPi, GPe) DBS on: the wash-out and wash-in dynamics of motor behavior and local field potentials (LFPs) and …
Oxidative Stress and Inflammatory Biomarkers in Gaucher Disease
The objective of this study is to evaluate oxidative stress and/or inflammation in patients with Gaucher disease type I using a series of biomarkers and correlate with measurements of currently used diagnostic biomarkers.
International Ovarian & Testicular Stromal Tumor Registry
Rare tumors are understudied, yet have the potential to shed light on vast areas of cancer research. Ovarian sex cord-stromal tumors, rare tumors of childhood and young adulthood, have recently been found to be associated with a lung cancer of early childhood called pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB). The cause of these …
A Natural History Study of the Gangliosidoses
Hypothesis: To characterize and describe disease progression and heterogeneity of the gangliosidosis diseases. This research study seeks to develop a quantitative method to delineate disease progression for the gangliosidosis diseases (Tay-Sachs disease, Sandhoff disease, and GM1 gangliosidosis) in order to better understand the natural history and heterogeneity of these diseases. …
Collection of Research Data and Samples From Patients Who Experience Immunotherapy Side Effects
This trial collects research data and samples from patients who experience immunotherapy side effects to store for use in future research studies. Studying research data and samples from patients who experience immunotherapy side effects may help researchers better understand how to predict, prevent, and treat these side effects.
Post-contracture Release Radiation for Dupuytren's Disease
To determine if the clinical impression of clinicians, ie that patients are improving with the current treatment pathway for Dupuytren's (contracture release followed by radiation), can be substantiated with scientific evidence.
To Investigate Airway Oxygen Concentrations During Rigid Bronchoscopy Procedures Performed With High Frequency Jet Ventilation
Thermal ablation (use of treatment modalities that generate heat) has become a widely used tool for treatment of central airway obstruction (e.g. laser, electrocautery, radiofrequency, and argon plasma coagulation). However, this method carries with it an increased risk for airway fire - a surgical fire that occurs in a patient's …
