Dex +/- Caffeine Sedation in a Post-MRI Recovery in a Pediatric Population
Recruiting
Dexmedetomidine (Dex), a selective α2-adrenergic receptor agonist, is the most used sedative for procedural sedation in children and in pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) because it is associated with less respiratory depression and also less neurotoxicity; rather Dex appears neuroprotective. Unfortunately, Dex is associated with very long emergence times and may cause bradycardia and hypotension. However, using sedation dosing guidelines (by consensus among SPS members) 1-3 mcg/kg bolus and a... Read More

Quantitative Assessment of Autologous Fat Transfer
Recruiting
This is a single-arm, prospective pilot study that will objectively assess outcomes in patients electively undergoing Autologous Fat Transfer (AFT) for breast or chest wall reconstruction. Patients planning to undergo autologous fat transfer for breast or chest wall reconstruction will be enrolled prospectively. Participants will undergo standard photographs (2-D imaging) of their chest wall and torso, including the breasts, and complete a validated questionnaire (BREAST-QTM) to evaluate patient... Read More

Effectiveness of Remote Foot Temperature Monitoring
Recruiting
Diabetic foot ulcers are common, debilitating, and costly complications of diabetes, disproportionately impacting Black and rural Veterans. Forty percent of individuals have an ulcer recurrence within a year of ulcer healing and 65% within 5 years. Monitoring plantar foot temperatures is one of the few interventions that reduces the risk of ulcer recurrence. Despite the evidence, adoption has been poor because the original procedures, including the use of handheld thermometers, were burdensome a... Read More

ENhancing Exercise with LIGHT to Improve Functioning in PAD
Recruiting
The ENLIGHTEN PAD Trial will collect preliminary data to test whether daily 660 nm light treatment of the lower extremities immediately before home-based walking exercise sessions improves six-minute walk distance at 4-month follow-up, compared to sham light, in people with lower extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD).

SMART Exercise for PAD
Recruiting
Supervised exercise therapy (SET), consisting of treadmill exercise conducted three times weekly at a center while supervised by healthcare personnel, is first line therapy for people disabled by lower extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD). However, travelling three times/week to a center for SET is burdensome. Compared to SET, home-based exercise is more accessible and less burdensome. Yet, evidence-based guidelines recommend SET over home-based exercise for PAD. Walking exercise is first l... Read More

TheraT® Vectors (Vaccines) Combined With Chemotherapy to Treat HPV16 Head and Neck Cancers
Recruiting
Doctors leading this study hope to learn about the safety and effectiveness of combining medications HB-201 and HB-202 (also known as TheraT® vectors) with chemotherapy using carboplatin and paclitaxel in the beginning of the study (induction) and if combining these medications can increase tumor shrinkage after therapy and reduce the amount of radiotherapy and chemotherapy that will later be needed. In addition, the study is looking at ways to reduce side effects overall using robotic surgery,... Read More
