Airway Microbiome Changes After Artificial Airway Exchange in Critically-ill Pediatric Patients.
Artificial airways, such as endotracheal tubes and tracheostomies, in the pediatric and neonatal intensive care units (PICU, NICU respectively) are lifesaving for patients in respiratory failure, among other conditions. These devices are not without a risk of infection - ventilator-associated infections (VAIs), namely ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) and ventilator-associated tracheitis …
Tau Networks in Psychotic Alzheimer's Disease
This research project aims to understand the brain mechanisms behind the manifestation of psychotic symptoms in Alzheimer´s disease (AD), and nature of the unique relationship with tau pathology. Amongst the cognitive manifestations of psychosis are impairments related to frontal circuits (social cognition, working memory and executive function deficits). The investigator's …
Glioma Developmental and HyperActive Ras Tumor (DHART) Board
This study will collect medical records, scan results, and complete surveys to create a registry about people with a neurofibromatosis type 1-associated brain tumor (NF1-associated glioma). A registry is a collection of health information about individuals, and it is usually focused on a specific diagnosis or condition. This registry study …
Longitudinal Sexual and Reproductive Health Study of Women With Breast Cancer and Lymphoma
The purpose of this study is to see how cancer treatment affects sexual and reproductive function. The patient will also be asked to participate in blood draws to see if and how cancer treatment affects the ovaries and the ability to have children (fertility). These blood draws are optional and …
Using Urine Samples to Identify Lung Cancer
The researchers are doing this study to test the ability of an animal biosensor platform (ABP) to detect NSCLC. Participants in this study will either be diagnosed with NSCLC, suspected to have NSCLC, or have not been diagnosed or suspected to have NSCLC. The ABP test uses laboratory animals that …
Extracellular Vesicles and Particles (EVP) as Biomarkers of Recurrence in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
The purpose of this study is to find out if fluid rinsed from peoples' airways (bronchial washing samples) during routine surgery to remove (resect) their non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tumors contains enough vesicles to do testing that may help the researchers learn more about their NSCLC.
Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy as an Imaging Biomarker for the Diagnosis of Pancreatic Cystic Lesions
The study schema is shown in Figure 4. (A) All patients referred to one of the participating academic centers for EUS evaluation of the PCL will be enrolled in the protocol if they satisfy inclusion criteria. Patient consent will be obtained during the clinic visit or prior to their EUS. …
Early Childhood Obesity Programming by Intrauterine Growth Restriction
The molecular mechanisms underlying developmental programming of childhood obesity remain poorly understood. Here, the investigators address major questions about early childhood obesity programming by studying CD3+ T-cells from intrauterine growth restricted (IUGR) newborns who have an increased risk for obesity and other metabolic disorders in adult life.
Reflectance Confocal Microscopy of Oral Cancers in Vivo: a Preliminary Trial Comparing Intra-oral Imaging With Pathology
The purpose of this study is to get images (pictures) of oral lesions, which occur inside the mouth, before the patient's surgery using a special camera. These pictures will be used in our research to evaluate a new technology that uses a laser and takes pictures of the microscopic structure …
OCT Evaluation of Neurotrophic Ulcer Following Treatment With Oxervate
Neurotrophic keratitis (NK) is a condition where the cornea, or clear outer covering of the eye, has reduced sensation due to a variety of reasons. In more advanced cases of NK, the cornea can develop an area of thinning called an ulcer. The purpose of this research is to find …
