Dysfunctional Myelopoiesis and Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells in Sepsis
Adverse outcomes in surgical sepsis patients are secondary to dysregulated emergency myelopoiesis, and expansion of myeloid-derived suppressor cells. Here we propose to determine the underlying mechanisms behind the increased expansion of these leukocyte populations and the underlying mechanisms that drive inflammation and immune suppression.
Utility of Thenar Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) in Pediatric Patients With Heart Failure
This is a single-center, non-randomized study.The study staff will use the InSpectraTM tissue oxygen saturation (StO2) monitor manufactured by Hutchinson Technology to measure baseline StO2 levels after applying the noninvasive probe to the thenar eminence. After a stable reading is obtained, a blood pressure cuff will be inflated 40 mmHg …
sCD163 in PBC Patients - Assessment of Treatment Response
Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is an autoimmune chronic liver disease, characterised by destruction of the small intrahepatic bile ducts. Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) is the first line treatment for patients with PBC. However, up to 40% of patients respond inadequate to this treatment. sCD163 is a macrophage activation marker shedded into …
Fecal Microbiota Transplantation in Gut aGVHD Treated
With the stem cell transplanting increasing, patients which effected with gut GVHD were also increased. To evaluation the safety and efficacy of FMT for gut GVHD,patients with gut GVHD were recruited.
Condition Vasoregulation Function Endothelium in Patients With CML Getting TKI II Generation Bosutinib
The study will study the state of the endothelium in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia during therapy with the II generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor bosutinib. Patients will be divided into groups receiving nilotinib 800mg/day, bosutinib 500mg/day, and imatinib 600mg/day. A comprehensive examination of patients will be carried out, including a …
Added Diagnostic Value of Point of Care Ultrasound in Acute Dyspnea
Dyspnea is a common diagnostic challenge in the Emergency Department (ED). Delay in diagnosis will increase time to correct treatment and could impact outcome. Previous studies have shown excellent diagnostic performance of point of care ultrasound (POCUS) to detect and differentiate between several important diagnosis (e.g heart failure and pneumonia) …
Collection of Blood and Urine Samples in Patients Receiving Radiation Therapy for Glioblastoma Multiforme
This study will collect blood and urine samples from patients undergoing radiation therapy for glioblastoma multiforme (a type of brain tumor) to investigate the effects of this treatment on blood cells and certain proteins. The information from this study may help scientists develop new tests to measure radiation exposure and …
Observational Study on Endometrial Stromal Tumors
Observational, retrospective and prospective study on Endometrial Stromal Tumor (EST)
The Need for Repeat ERCP After Endoscopic Treatment of Postsurgical Biliary Leaks
Post-surgical biliary leaks are relatively common after surgeries associated with hepatobiliary health. Left untreated, biliary leaks can lead to significant morbidity. Biliary leaks are most often successfully managed endoscopically, by way of performing an ERCP (endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography) procedure. These procedures help manage the bile leak by decreasing pressure at …
Study of Selected X-Linked Disorders: Aicardi Syndrome
Based on our current understanding of Aicardi syndrome, the condition is hypothesized to occur due to a genetic change on the X-chromosome. The research team is investigating Aicardi syndrome to identify the specific gene location associated with the disorder. Th investigators are collecting blood and skin biopsy samples from patients …
