Knee Arthroplasty Activity Trial
Recruiting
Total knee replacement (TKR) is a common and costly procedure widely used to relieve pain and improve function in patients with symptomatic advanced knee osteoarthritis (OA). As of 2013, the annual incidence of TKR was over 680,000 surgeries and annual costs exceeded $11 billion. Growing evidence suggests that while pain and functional status improve following TKR, physical activity (PA) typically does not surpass pre-TKR levels. Engagement in PA can meaningfully improve quality of life (QoL), p... Read More

Quality of Pediatric Resuscitation in a Multicenter Collaborative
Recruiting
This is a prospective, observational, multi-center cohort study of pediatric cardiac arrests. The purpose of the study is to determine the association between chest compression mechanics (rate, depth, flow fraction, compression release) and patient outcomes. In addition, the investigators will determine the association of post cardiac arrest care with patient outcomes.

Selective Fetal Growth Restriction in Monochorionic Twins - an International Investigation
Recruiting
Optimal diagnostic management and underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of selective fetal growth restriction (sFGR) in monochorionic diamniotic (MCDA) twin pregnancies have not been fully clarified. The current diagnostic classification system based on three different umbilical artery flow patterns has no increasing scale of severity and the predictive value is limited. Since there is no treatment available for sFGR, predicting fetal deterioration is key in preventing single or double fetal... Read More

Skeletal Health and Bone Marrow Composition in Adolescents With Cystic Fibrosis
Recruiting
The investigators will be evaluating bone marrow composition via magnetic resonance imaging in adolescents diagnosed with cystic fibrosis (CF) compared to healthy, matched controls. The investigators will also be assessing their bone mineral density via other imaging modalities, including dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT). This longitudinal project will focus on abnormalities in bone marrow composition, and specifically whether adolesce... Read More

Buspirone and Melatonin for Depression Following Traumatic Brain Injury
Recruiting
Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are common. Post-TBI depression is associated with anxiety, aggression, fatigue, distractibility, anger, irritability, and rumination. The current research group conducted a pilot clinical trial, which investigated the novel treatment combination of buspirone and melatonin (B+MEL) in outpatients with clinical depression. Compared to placebo, B+MEL was associated with a significant improvement in depressive symptoms. Depression following TBI may be different from c... Read More
