Slow Heart Registry of Fetal Immune-mediated High Degree Heart Block
NCT04559425
Recruiting
Few studies are specifically designed to address health concerns that are already relevant during pregnancy. The consequence is a lack of evidence on best clinical practice. This includes mothers and their babies when pregnancy is complicated by an abnormally slow heart rate due to maternal antibody-mediated heart disease in the unborn baby (fetus). Since the late seventies, it has been possible to detect and monitor fetal disease by ultrasound images and to treat selected conditions with pharma... Read More

Circulating Tumor Cell Analysis in Patients With Localized Prostate Cancer Undergoing Prostatectomy
NCT01961713
Recruiting
This study will evaluate a method to detect tumor cells that are circulating in the blood without getting a biopsy. The investigators already know from other studies that cancer tumors shed a small number of cells into the bloodstream every day. These are called circulating tumor cells (CTCs). Some early studies indicate the amount and type of CTCs in the blood can help determine the status of the tumor itself and the way it is responding to treatment. In this study, the investigators will compa... Read More

Impact of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy on PTSD-CVD Link
NCT06429293
Recruiting
This is a pilot randomized controlled trial to assess the impact of a first-line treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) (Cognitive Processing Therapy; CPT) versus waitlist control on mechanisms of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. Further, this study will test the hypothesis that CPT reduces CVD risk through its effects on inflammation and autonomic function and that these changes are driven by changes in stress-related neural activity (SNA)

Low Dose Naltrexone to Improve Physical Health in Patients With Vasculitis
NCT03482479
Recruiting
Naltrexone is an FDA approved drug (for alcoholism) that has found widespread use "off-label" to treat pain and improve quality of life at much lower doses than are used for the approved indication. There are a few scientific studies in three conditions (fibromyalgia, Crohn's disease, and multiple sclerosis) that suggest that this drug has benefit and is safe. However, considering the extent of use in other conditions, and uncertainty about the mechanism of action study is needed in a diverse se... Read More

Strabismus (misalignment of the eyes) often runs in families. In this study, the investigators are looking for genetic variants associated with strabismus and nystagmus. Three types of subects will be enrolled: (1) Families with at least 3 members with strabismus, (2) individuals with infantile esotropia and their parents and siblings, and (3) individuals with infantile nystagmus and their parents. Whole exome and/or whole genome sequencing will be used to identify genetic variants shared by fam... Read More
