Interventions to Promote Well-being of Nightshift Nursing Team Members
Recruiting
Background: Nightshift health care employees can experience greater likelihood of health threats such as weight gain, hypertension, and sleep disturbances. Evidence indicates a willingness of nightshift health care professionals to engage in wellness activities initiated at the work setting and during the assigned nightshift. In this single site study at a freestanding pediatric tertiary care hospital, inpatient units will be randomized to one of two nightshift interventions during an 8-week st... Read More

Development of a Therapeutic Endpoint in Pediatric Rheumatologic Conditions
Recruiting
The overarching goal of this study is the development of a physiologic endpoint of pain and treatment effect in three distinct rheumatology populations. This would enable objective assessment of pain and treatment in these populations and enable a much more precise approach to treatment. Such an endpoint stands to significantly improve outcomes in these patients by eliminating the need for a trial-and-error approach to treatment. This is a single site observational study that aims to collect ini... Read More

Physiologic Measure of VIPN
Recruiting
The purpose of this study is the development of a physiologic endpoint using a novel technology that would provide an objective, easy to use and more sensitive assessment of VIPN in children and adolescents. The ability to more easily detect and monitor VIPN, even before it is clinically evident, would facilitate optimizing the dosing of vincristine for maximal disease response while minimizing the risk of lifelong functional deficits affecting quality of life. This approach would also enable th... Read More
