Addressing health disparities, especially in the face of coronavirus pandemic, requires an integrated multi-sector equity-focused, community-based approach. This study will examine the impact of Harlem Strong Community Mental Health Collaborative, a community-wide multi-sectoral coalition in which a health insurer works with a network of community-based organizations, medical providers, and behavioral health providers to engage in a network-wide implementation planning process to: (1) problem-solve financing, access, and quality of care barriers, (2) support capacity building for mental health (MH) task-sharing for community health workers, (3) facilitate coordination and collaboration across MH/behavioral health, primary care, and a range of social services, including case management, housing supports, financial education, employment support, and other community resources to improve linkages to services, and (4) identify a set of common MH, social risk, and health metrics and strategies to integrate these metrics into data systems across the network for continuous quality improvement of the system. The long-term goal of our study is to develop sustainable model for task-sharing MH care that will be embedded in a coordinated comprehensive network of services, including primary care, behavioral/MH, social services, and other community resources.

This is a two-part, multi-center, prospective longitudinal, exploratory study of highly effective cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulators and their impact on children with cystic fibrosis (CF). Read Less

Establishment of regular menstrual cycles is a key component of reproductive maturation and a recognized vital sign for health and well-being. Irregular menstrual cycles are especially common for the first 2-3 years after an adolescent's first menstrual period (i.e., menarche), which delays the identification and diagnosis of early reproductive disturbances such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The purpose of this research study is to determine whether the ovary can serve as a reliable predictor of normal or abnormal development by following the trajectory of ovarian morphology in conjunction with menstrual cyclicity using 3D transabdominal ultrasound imaging in a prospective cohort study of adolescents. A secondary objective is to identify potential environmental factors such as diet and the gut microbiome which influence the trajectory towards normal or abnormal reproductive development. Read Less

The Sinai Vein Stent Registry aims to establish and maintain a registry of patients who have undergone a vein stent placement procedure at The Mount Sinai Medical Center. The purpose of this study is to monitor and evaluate the long-term outcomes of venous stents placed to treat venous outflow obstruction. Outcome variables that will be assessed are: patency rate, reintervention rate, occurrence of any complications, clinical improvement, and quality of life. Venous outflow obstruction is defined as a stenosis and/or occlusion seen primarily in the ilio-femoral vein and inferior vena cava, and infrequently in the subclavian vein, brachiocephalic vein, or superior vena cava. While vein stent placement procedures are currently being performed in the United States, using stents which are commercially available and FDA-approved for use in arterial interventions, at this time there are no stents that are FDA-approved for use in veins. The placement of stents in veins holds tremendous promise as a treatment for venous outflow obstruction, but review of current literature has showed a paucity of published data on the long-term outcomes of this treatment. The study is composed of two arms, a retrospective arm and a prospective arm. Any patient over the age of 18 who has undergone or is scheduled to undergo a vein stent placement procedure is eligible for this study. A HIPAA waiver and waiver of informed consent are being requested for the retrospective arm for patients who have undergone a vein stent placement procedure from January 1st 2012 to date of study onset, as it is not possible to contact all patients in the retrospective arm (i.e., lost to follow-up, no longer follows-up with a study physician). This study is only interested in the collection and analysis of data; the clinical care and outcomes of research subjects will not be affected by their participation in this study. An IDE application has been submitted to the FDA for use of the Wallstent™ (manufactured by Boston Scientific, Inc.) in veins as treatment for venous outflow obstruction. The primary stents being used as treatment for venous outflow obstruction at Mount Sinai is the Wallstent™, mainly due to the fact that only Wallstents™ are available in the appropriate sizes to be used in veins. In rare occasions or exceptional circumstances, a smaller self-expanding nitinol stent may be used. Due to the extremely rare frequency of stents other than Wallstents™ being used and the impracticality (if not impossibility) of obtaining IDEs for all other stents, the investigators believe it is appropriate to exclude usage of these stents from the study data. To confirm, the purpose of this study is to monitor and evaluate long-term outcomes of the venous stents/the vein stent placement procedure, not specifically the Wallstent™ itself. Read Less

This study is a pragmatic clinical trial examining the comparative effectiveness of two stimulant medications (methylphenidate and amphetamine) in the treatment of ADHD in children and adolescents with autism. Using a sequential, multiple assignment randomization trial (SMART) design the study will not only assess these two medications but also the role of an increasingly popular class of ADHD medication, the alpha-2 agonists. Findings from this study will help improve clinicians' approach to medication selection and reduce the repeated trials of multiple medications that are current standard care. Read Less

Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of 1) supplementation with Synbiotic (Plexus® Triplex), 2) commercially-available Probiotic, or 3) placebo control over 30 days on the gut microbiome, cardiometabolic health, body weight and body composition in healthy individuals.

This is a prospective, randomized study. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of post-surgical pain control of a type of peripheral nerve block, Rectus Sheath Block. 1. Does the rectus sheath block decrease opioid consumption postoperatively after cardiac surgery? 2. Does the rectus sheath block decrease VAS pain scores postoperatively after cardiac surgery? Study participants will be assigned to receive either rectus sheath block or no block. Read Less

This is a multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of ABX464 50mg and 25mg administered once daily (QD) as maintenance therapy in subjects with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis who have inadequate response, no response, a loss of response, or an intolerance to either conventional therapies \[corticosteroids, immunosuppressant (i.e. azathioprine, 6-mercaptopurine, methotrexate)\] and/or advanced therapies \[biologics (TNF inhibitors, anti-integrins, anti-IL-23), and/or S1P receptor modulators, and/or JAK inhibitors\]. This study is the maintenance phase of both previous induction studies ABX464-105 and ABX464-106. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether a home rehabilitation program for patients diagnosed with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) will decrease Cardiac Effort (number of heart beats used during 6-minute walk test/walk distance) and improve quality of life. Ultimately, this information could help improve the management of patients with PAH. Read Less

The Physical Activity Self-efficacy (PAS) intervention is a web-based behavioral intervention newly developed to promote physical activity in adults with obesity. The conceptual framework for the PAS intervention is based on self-efficacy theory. The objective of this study is to investigate the feasibility and acceptability of implementing the PAS online intervention for adults with obesity recruited from a local weight management center in the United States of America (USA). The study design is a prospective, double-blind, parallel group randomized pilot trial. Thirty participants will be randomly assigned to the PAS group or usual care group to achieve a 1:1 group assignment. Recruitment of participants is scheduled to begin in January 2024 or earlier at a local weight management center within a private healthcare system in the USA. There are five eligibility criteria for participation in this study (e.g., a body mass index ≥ 25.00 kg/m2). Eligibility verification and data collection will be conducted online. Three waves of data collection will take up to 14 weeks depending on participants' progress in the study. Instruments designed to measure demographic information, anthropometric characteristics, self-efficacy, and acceptability will be included in the survey battery. A research-grade accelerometer will be used to measure free-living physical activity objectively. Data will be analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistical models under an intention-to-treat approach. This study will be sponsored by the Transdisciplinary Areas of Excellence Seed Grant Program from Binghamton University. Read Less
