Clarifying the Optimal Application of SLT Therapy Trial
Recruiting
The goal of this study is to understand if SLT performed at low energy is as effective as SLT performed at standard energy, and also to see if repeating SLT at low energy once a year will prevent or delay the need for daily eye drop medications better than waiting for SLT to wear off before repeating it.

Multiple Doses of Neural Stem Cell Virotherapy (NSC-CRAd-S-pk7) for the Treatment of Recurrent High-Grade Gliomas
Recruiting
This phase I trial studies the effect of multiple doses of NSC-CRAd-S-pk7 in treating patients with high-grade gliomas that have come back (recurrent). NSC-CRAd-S-pk7 consists of neural stem cells that carry a virus, which can kill cancer cells. Giving multiple doses of NSC-CRAd-S-pk7 may kill more tumor cells.

Indocyanine Green (ICG) Guided Sentinel Lymph Node Mapping for Pediatric Visceral Solid Tumors
Recruiting
The purpose of the study is to find out the usefulness and safety of a dye called Indocyanine Green (ICG for short). This dye will be used to help the surgeon find lymph nodes draining solid tumors inside the abdomen that need to be removed. This may also help the surgeon to find if the cancer has moved to other lymph nodes outside of the known area. Primary Objectives * To determine the percentage of patients in whom Indocyanine Green (ICG)-guided sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping was success... Read More

Milrinone for Prevention of Post-ligation Cardiac Syndrome Trial
Recruiting
The goal of this Phase 3, randomized, masked clinical trial is to is to find out whether milrinone, when given to infants after PDA closure, will help the heart work better by supplying oxygen to the lungs and tissues. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. to determine if milrinone decreases the risk of death or PLCS within 7 days of the procedure, compared to standard treatment; and 2. to determine the effects of milrinone on two-year survival and neurodevelopmental outcome.

End Diagnostic Overshadowing:Addressing Ableism in Diagnoses
Recruiting
People with disabilities (PWD) experience increased risk of diagnostic error-sometimes due to attributing symptoms to disability rather than a potentially new or co-morbid conditions. As well, some diagnoses are prone to error. Based on literature we identified the following twenty-six with ICD-10 codes: Aortic aneurysm and dissection I71.0 - I71.9; Arterial thromboembolism I74.0 - I74.9; Venous thromboembolism I82.0-I82.99 and I82.A-I82.C; Congestive heart failure I50.1-150.9; Stroke All I60, I...

Characterizing Variability in Hearing Aid Outcomes in Among Older Adults With Alzheimer's Dementia
Recruiting
This current translational project, funded by NIH, aims to better understand the impact of various signal modification strategies for older adults with Alzheimer's dementia and its potential precursor, known as amnestic mild cognitive impairment. The investigators hypothesize that adults with Alzheimer's dementia represent an extreme case of restricted cognitive ability, such that very low working memory capacity and overall reduced cognitive capacity will limit benefit from advanced signal proc...
