Biomarker Profiling in Individuals at Risk for Prion Disease
We are doing this research to identify biomarkers in individuals who are at-risk for familial prion disease. We hope to use these biomarkers to predict timing of disease onset in pre-symptomatic individuals and to guide the direction of future clinical trials.
Comparison of Marginal Fit and Internal Adaptation in All-Metal Crowns: An In Vitro Experimental Trial
The goal of this in vitro study is to compare the marginal fit and internal adaptation of all-metal crowns in polished crown preparations and non-polished crown preparations The main question it aims to answer is: are the non polished tooth preparations comparable to polished preparations? We will compare polish and …
Serum Endotoxin Assay to Predict the Development of Postoperative Infectious Complications and Systemic Inflammatory Response Following Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy.
The aim of the study is to establish an infectious risk stratification system based on pre-and post-operative blood endotoxin profile.
Biospecimen Procurement for Center for Immuno-Oncology Immunotherapy Protocols
Background Cancer has a major impact in the United States and across the world. In 2015, over 1.5 million new cases of cancer were diagnosed in the U.S. Researchers want to study samples from people with cancer or a pre-malignant condition. They hope to develop more effective treatments. Objective To …
MDTRP Neuromuscular Research Biobank
The purpose of this research repository is to collect, store, and share with other researchers any tissues that subjects with all types of neuromuscular disease are willing to donate. These samples will be stored at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) and will be used for future research with this population.
StrokeCog-BBB to Study Cognitive Outcomes Following Stroke
The goal of this observational study is to learn about cognitive outcomes in stroke patients. The main question it aims to answer are: 1. Is blood-brain barrier permeability compromised for years after stroke, 2. Is a blood biomarker of imbalanced angiogenesis dysregulated in chronic stroke and 3. Are there biomarkers …
Sequelae of Sars-CoV-2 Infections
By the end of 2019 a new coronavirus, named SARS-CoV-2, was discovered in patients with pneumonia in Wuhan, China. In the following weeks and months the virus spread globally, having a tremendous impact on global health and economy. To date, no vaccine or therapy is available. Severe courses of the …
Derivation of New Human Embryonic Stem Cell Lines Lines for Clinical Use
Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) are isolated from the early human embryo and have the capability to proliferate indefinitely in culture and to develop into nearly every cell of the human body. Therefore, hESCs may serve as a renewable unlimited source of cells for transplantation therapy. Because of the use …
Right Ventricle Lipid in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH)
The investigators propose to study the relationship between right ventricle (RV) steatosis and RV function, exercise capacity, and outcomes in humans with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and to identify potential drivers of lipid accumulation.
Validation of the O-bridge Protocol: a Prospective, Multicenter Trial
Surgical reconstruction to restore oral function and aesthetics after major ablative surgery in the oral cavity forms a challenge to maxillofacial surgeons, and greatly impacts patient' quality of life (QOL). The "Oncological-bridge (O-bridge®)" protocol, which offers (immediate/delayed) fixed prosthetic rehabilitation in a minimum of sessions and a strongly reduced two-week …
