Impact of Serial Bedside Video Calls on Stress Level in Parents of Infants Admitted to NICU
Recruiting
The goal of this randomized prospective interventional study is to determine if serial bedside video calls w/audio feature to NICU parents in addition to the routine phone and/or bedside updates can reduce parental stress level. The main question it aims to answer is if the impact of audio-visual calls to nicu parents can improve parent-infant relationship in the form of reduced parental anxiety/stress level. Participants will be parents of infants admitted to NICU for more than seven (7) days.... Read More

Blood Pressure Variability and Ischemic Stroke Outcome
Recruiting
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the role of blood pressure (BPV) variability in patients suffering from acute ischemic stroke. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. To determine the association of BPV with functional/cognitive outcome after ischemic stroke. 2. To determine a pathophysiologic mechanism of BPV's deleterious effect on functional outcome. 3. To evaluate potential treatment targets to pharmacologically reduce BPV after ischemic stroke.

Effect of Duramesh™ on Hernia Formation After Ileostomy Closure, Randomized Controlled Trial
Recruiting
Diverting ileostomy is frequently utilized to protect high-risk anastomoses, though it is not shown to reduce the leak rate it may reduce the severe consequences of an anastomotic leak. Ileostomy will be reversed with restoration of continuity in majority of patients. Stoma site incisional hernias after ileostomy closure are complex hernias that can be associated with abdominal pain, discomfort, and a diminished quality of life. Duramesh™ non-absorbable polypropylene suture is a hollow core, mic... Read More
