Study to Evaluate Biological & Clinical Effects of Significantly Corrected CFTR Function in Infants & Young Children
This is a two-part, multi-center, prospective longitudinal, exploratory study of highly effective cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulators and their impact on children with cystic fibrosis (CF).
Biomarker Development for Muscular Dystrophies
Current methods of measuring the response to new treatments for muscular dystrophies involve the examination of small pieces of muscle tissue called biopsies. The investigators are interested in finding less invasive methods that reduce the need for muscle biopsies. The purpose of this research is to learn about the possibility …
Optimal Pediatric Heart Transplant Immunosuppression With MicroRNAs (OPTIMA)
This study aims to discover circulating microRNAs (associated with drug doses and levels) that can be used to characterize the overall immune state in pediatric heart transplant patients and predict patients that will go on to develop infection and rejection. MicroRNAs (miRs) are small, non-coding RNA molecules that regulate gene …
RevCore for In Stent Thrombosis
The purpose of this research is to collect information about how the RevCore Thrombectomy Catheter works to treat stent blockages.
Concomitant LAAC/AF Ablation (Watchman FLX Pro)
This sub-study is a prospective/retrospective, non-randomized, observational, comparative cohorts study, embedded in and expanding on the infrastructure of a real-world AF ablation registry DISRUPT-AF (NCT06335082).
Health Outcomes of Parents With Cystic Fibrosis-Aim 2
The goal of this observational prospective study is to determine the health impact of parenthood on United States (US) people with CF in the era of CF transmembrane regulator protein (CFTR) modulators. The investigators will collect physical and mental health data to comprehensively evaluate the impact of parenthood in CF …
Biomechanical Validation of the CATT
As of 2020, 53 million Americans provide unpaid care to an individual with a disability. One commonly performed activity of daily living (ADL) provided by informal caregivers is assisted transfers, which requires moving an individual from one surface to another. Approximately 94% of informal caregivers who assist with ADLs to …
Functional Recovery After Total Knee Arthroplasty
The goal of this observational study is to learn about patients' recoveries after receiving total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The main questions it aims to answer are: Does robotic-assisted TKA have improved perceived recovery when compared to conventional TKA? Does robotic-assisted TKA lead to improved functional recovery when compared to conventional …
Personalized Postoperative Pain Management Following Thoracic Surgery in Adults
The proposed research is an important extension of an ongoing perioperative personalized analgesia and intravenous opioid pharmacogenetic research. This research focuses on two of the most commonly used oral opioid analgesics, oxycodone, and methadone, in adults following thoracic surgery. Major inpatient thoracic surgeries (TS) for lung disease are common and …
Evaluation of Hypoxia in Primary Melanoma
When controlling for tumor present in the Sentinel lymph node (SLN), intranodal hypoxia, as measured by Carbonic Anhydrase IX (CAIX IHC), is associated with worse PFS. This suggests that melanoma tumors may be utilizing deregulated metabolism as a means of propagating themselves to the next station of metastasis. This study …
