This project aims to answer whether the use of a Neurally-Adjusted Ventilatory Assistance mode for non-invasive ventilation in pediatric patients with bronchiolitis results in improved comfort and reduced escalations in therapy (including intubation) when compared to using a standard mode of non-invasive ventilation. Neurally-Adjusted Ventilatory Assistance (NAVA) has been shown to result in greater synchrony then the standard mode of non-invasive ventilation. The study team hypothesizes that this improved synchrony can result in important clinical improvements when NAVA is used to treat children with bronchiolitis. Read Less

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and how well fluorescence image guided surgery followed by intraoperative photodynamic therapy for improving local tumor control in patients with colorectal cancer that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) or that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). Fluorescence image guided surgery uses a drug named aminolevulinic acid hydrochloride. Aminolevulinic acid hydrochloride is a photosensitizing agent, meaning that is activated by light and, is converted to another drug in cancer cells more than in normal cells. The converted drug emits fluorescence red light when activated with low power blue light. It is used to assist the surgeon to see cancer cells and small cancerous tissue that may have been missed during routine surgery. In addition to emitting fluorescence light, the converted drug in the cancer cells and tissue can be activated with red laser light to kill cancer cells. This procedure is called photodynamic therapy (PDT). Performing fluorescence image guided surgery followed by intraoperative photodynamic therapy after the surgical removal of the colorectal tumor before the surgical site will be closed may be effective and improve outcomes in patients with locally advanced or recurrent colorectal cancer.

The goal of this observational study is to learn about maternal psychiatric course and infant development in pregnant individuals with severe mental illness, comparing those treated with antipsychotics to those treated with other medications or without medication. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is risk of psychiatric relapse different among individuals who take antipsychotic medication, other medication, or no medication? 2. Are pregnancy and neonatal health outcomes different among individuals who take antipsychotic medication, other medication, or no medication? 3. Do infant behavior and neurodevelopment differ among babies who were exposed to antipsychotic medication, other medication, or no medication in utero? Participants will * complete a psychiatric interview and questionnaires while pregnant; * donate blood from the mother and from the umbilical cord at delivery * have their babies participate in infant behavior evaluations and an EEG procedure. Researchers will compare these outcomes among individuals who were treated either with antipsychotic medication, with psychotropic medications of other classes, and with no medication, to see if psychiatric benefits for the mother and health outcomes for mother and child differ among these three types of treatment.

This trial investigates brain and pelvic floor muscle activity in patients undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. This trial may help identify the brain waves that are associated with muscles involved in giving patients control over the bladder. Read Less

The purpose of this observational study is to find the best measures to define how well a person with eosinophilic disorder is doing. People with EoE, EoG, EoN and EoC normally undergo endoscopy and/or colonoscopy where cells are collected for microscopic analysis. Treatments are then decided based on how the cells look. We are aiming to compare different tissue components such as inflammatory cell types with clinical symptoms. We want to see if scores on standard questionnaires can give us an idea how well the person is doing. Read Less

This is a prospective study providing lung cancer subjects at R.J. Zuckerberg Cancer Center with a customized exercise program provided by Salaso, with the goal of improving functional status and outcomes. This study will assess the feasibility and usability of a virtual exercise platform designed for lung cancer subjects. Subjects will be referred to physical therapy and rehabilitation medicine doctors for evaluation and enrolment in a virtual exercise program tailored specifically to their needs. The virtual exercise program will be available on a digital platform accessible through a personal device. Subjects will undergo a pulmonary function test if not previously completed within 3 months of signing consent, a Six minute walk test (6MWT) and the Sit to Stand Test (STS) at the start and end of the 12- month program. Subjects will also be asked to complete quality of life FACT-L and the Patient Satisfaction questionnaires at 1 month, 3-months, 6-months, and 12-months. Patient satisfactions questionnaires include the System Usability Scale, Net Promotor Score (NPS), and the Technology Acceptance Model. Physicians will also complete a provider satisfaction questionnaire at 1 month, 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months from the time their first patient is enrolled. Subject participation in the trial will last 12 months from the time the subject starts utilizing the platform. If we find that the platform is accepted by subjects and is found to be feasible, a future randomized study will be developed to follow. Eligibility criteria (note that subjects will be allowed to be enrolled in the program as long as it is within 3 weeks of starting treatment): i. Subjects with Non-small cell lung cancer who belong to any of the three cohorts below ii. Have an ECOG PS of 0-2 iii. Can provide informed consent iv. Can engage in a virtual exercise platform v. Commit to all study procedures as per protocol vi. Are deemed appropriate for virtual exercise program by the PM\&R team The following three cohorts of subjects will be eligible for this feasibility study: 1. Cohort A: Peri-operative (subjects starting neoadjuvant chemotherapy or within 4-8 weeks after curative-intent thoracic surgery which could be segmentectomy, lobectomy of pneumonectomy), irrespective of adjuvant treatment). 1. Expected recruitment - 15 subjects 2. Cohort B: Subjects starting definitive chemotherapy and radiation for locally advanced lung cancer. 1. Expected recruitment - 15 subjects 3. 3.

This will be a 2 year study to evaluate and improve cancer sequencing as applied to the characterization of tumor molecular make-up and the identification of novel therapeutics (n=100). Participants who will undergo tumor biopsy for management of multiple myeloma (MM) will self-refer to the study or be referred by their treating physician. Participants will initially meet with a clinician to review study consents and provide medical, medication, and family history information. After informed consent, biospecimen samples from peripheral blood, cheek swab, and tumor samples from bone marrow (aspirate and biopsy), peripheral blood, or any mass/fluid containing tumor cells will be obtained (from procedures indicated as part of their standard oncology care) for cancer sequencing (CS) (whole exome sequencing of germline and tumor genomes, RNA sequencing of tumor transcriptome, single cell, and CyTOF analysis). CS data will be interpreted via somatic variation identification, network modeling, and cancer transcriptome profiling to facilitate mapping activity levels of genes to networks and for identifying genes activated or dysregulated in cancer cells. Sequencing and analysis will be performed at the Genomics Core Facility at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. In instances where internal sequencing capabilities do not allow for certain types of analysis, de-identified samples or data may be sent out to third parties for additional analysis. The study will be using GenPath, a division of BioReference® Health, LLC for this project which is a CLIA certified lab. All genetic tests will be performed in a CLIA certified lab and all tests will be FDA or NYS approved. The RNA Sequencing test will receive NYS Department of Health (Wadsworth Center) approval before results are provided to physicians and patients. Samples will be de-identified and processed by the Mount Sinai Human Immune Monitoring Core (HIMC) before being sent to an external CLIA-certified lab for sequencing and analysis. Interpretation will be performed by a multidisciplinary team that includes genomicists, pathologists, and clinicians familiar with the particular cancer diagnosed in the participant. Once results are available, they will be shared with the participant and treating physician during a follow-up results session and any findings obtained explained. This study is not intended to implement findings, only to report them. Read Less

The purpose of this pilot interventional study is to collect preliminary data on the application of a transcutaneous auricular vagal nerve stimulation (taVNS) device in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). This data will enhance understanding of the short-term safety, tolerability and effects of this novel therapeutic approach in the setting of CKD. The primary aims are to investigate the feasibility of the protocol and generate preliminary signals of efficacy and tolerability for two different doses of vagal nerve stimulation. The pilot estimates will be used to design a larger scale study that may lead to potentially targeted interventions to reduce cardiovascular (CV) mortality in the CKD population. Read Less
