Pediatric cancer survivors are at an increased risk of excessive weight gain and reduced exercise behaviors with the potential for this risk to worsen over time. With over 80% of pediatric cancer patients living to adulthood, many pediatric cancer survivors experience long-term health consequences such as heart disease - the leading cause of death in this population. The purpose of this clinical research study is to teach parents/caregivers skills that will help prevent and reduce the problems of obesity in childhood cancer survivors. In this study, parents have the opportunity to participate in one of two web-based groups in which parents in either group will learn valuable information to improve the health of their child and of themselves.

The purpose of this research is to evaluate blood samples from HIV infected and non-HIV infected people to understand how aging and HIV infection affect the immune responses (body defenses against infection) to the flu vaccine. Read Less

The purpose of this preliminary research study is to see if patients discontinuing maintenance Herceptin and/or other anti-HER-2 treatments with monitoring in addition to radiologic imaging and routine blood work will stay in complete radiological remission and to determine how long patients are able to stay in complete radiological remission without treatment.

This is a 3-arm study stratified by plasma ctDNA. Patients with residual TNBC disease after pre-operative therapy will be assigned to 1 of 3 Arms based on plasma ctDNA positivity and genomic marker(s). Read Less

The purpose of this research is to evaluate blood samples from HIV infected and non-HIV infected people opioid and non opioid users to understand how opioid affect the immune responses (body defenses against infection) to the flu vaccine. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that allogeneic Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) promote systemic and coronary endothelial repair through rescue of bone marrow progenitors in type 2 diabetic patients with symptomatic IHD compared to placebo. Read Less

The purpose of this research is to find hidden cancer with an experimental magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan called spectroscopic magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI). That spectroscopic MRI scan will be used to increase the area of the brain receiving radiation and then the dose of radiation in attempt to kill more of the cancer. Proton radiotherapy and bevacizumab (Avastin) are used to minimize the possible side effects of this approach. Read Less

The purpose of this research is to assess the effectiveness of a nutrition education program in increasing nutrition knowledge and improving health-related biomarkers in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). Read Less

The investigators want to study if lower doses of chemotherapy will help babies with SCID to achieve good immunity with less short and long-term risks of complications after transplantation. This trial identifies babies with types of immune deficiencies that are most likely to succeed with this approach and offers them transplant early in life before they get severe infections or later if their infections are under control. It includes only patients receiving unrelated or mismatched related donor transplants. The study will test if patients receiving transplant using either a low dose busulfan or a medium dose busulfan will have immune recovery of both T and B cells, measured by the ability to respond to immunizations after transplant. The exact regimen depends on the subtype of SCID the patient has. Donors used for transplant must be unrelated or half-matched related (haploidentical) donors, and peripheral blood stem cells must be used. To minimize the chance of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), the stem cells will have most, but not all, of the T cells removed, using a newer, experimental approach of a well-established technology. Once the stem cell transplant is completed, patients will be followed for 3 years. Approximately 9-18 months after the transplant, vaccinations will be administered, and a blood test measuring whether your child's body has responded to the vaccine will be collected. Read Less

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate if placing a dehydrated human amnion chorion membrane (dHACM) over the nerves after removal of the prostate during surgery (radical prostatectomy) will allow an earlier recovery of erectile function and urinary control after surgery. Read Less

This study is designed to evaluate the accuracy of a non-invasive method phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (MR-ICP) for assessing intracranial pressure (Phase 1). To perform second phase contrast imaging to evaluate the patency and flow of ventricular catheters after MR-ICP imaging (Phase 2). Read Less

The purpose of this study is to obtain informed consent to use stored human biological materials (HBM) (e.g., blood and other tissues) for future studies that may include genetic testing. Read Less
