Local Bisphosphonate Effect on Recurrence Rate in Extremity Giant Cell Tumor of Bone
Recruiting
The purpose of the clinical study is to investigate whether the local delivery of bisphosphonate as a surgical adjuvant can decrease the chance of a giant cell tumor of bone coming back to the same location. The hypothesis is that the local administration of bisphosphonate will decrease the rate of the tumor returning compared to traditional aggressive surgical removal of the tumor.

ID Of Prognostic Factors In Mycosis Fungoides/Sezary Syndrome
Recruiting
The purpose of the study is to develop a prognostic index model for the rare disease of mycosis fungoides and sezary syndrome. This will be done by collecting standardized clinical data at various institutions. The investigators hope this will enable the identification of low- and high-risk groups for survival in order to improve patient care and outcome.

Behavioral Economic & Staffing Strategies in the ICU
Recruiting
The overarching goal of this study is to support the "real world" assessment of strategies used to foster adoption of several highly efficacious evidence-based practices in healthcare systems that provide care to critically ill adults with known health disparities. Investigators will specifically evaluate two discrete strategies grounded in behavioral economic and implementation science theory (i.e., real-time audit and feedback and registered nurse implementation facilitation) to increase adopt...

Comparison of Surgery and Medicine on the Impact of Diverticulitis (COSMID) Trial
Recruiting
The COSMID (Comparison of Surgery and Medicine on the Impact of Diverticulitis) trial is a pragmatic, patient-level randomized superiority trial of elective colectomy vs. best medical management for patients with quality of life (QoL) limiting diverticular disease. A parallel observational cohort will include those who are disinclined to have their treatment choice randomized, but are willing to contribute information about their outcomes. The goal of the COSMID trial is to answer the question:... Read More

Treatment Targets in Spanish and English Bilingual Speech Intervention
Recruiting
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn which speech treatment targets result in the greatest amount of speech learning in Spanish-English bilingual children with speech sound disorders. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does linguistic complexity of the treatment target increase the amount of generalized learning within the treated language? * Does linguistic complexity of the treatment target increase the amount of generalized speech across languages? Researchers will compare i... Read More

Breast Cancer PSMA PET
Recruiting
The purpose of this research is to determine the expression of Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen(PSMA) in metastatic Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) patients using Fludeoxyglucose F18 (FDG) PET/CT as the gold standard. The investigators hypothesize that most lesions in metastatic TNBC are PSMA-avid; and thus PSMA-based radionuclide therapy can be a valid treatment option for TNBC, and clinical trials can be designed for this purpose. Thirty metastatic TNBC patients will be enrolled and wil... Read More
