To demonstrate that microwave ablation (MWA) of up to 3 hepatic metastases, each with a maximum diameter of ≤ 2.5 cm will result in a 2-year local progression free survival of at least 90%. This is a standard of care (SOC) study. Read Less

This study is designed to evaluate the impact on the quality of life and wellbeing of a person-centered online dance program on people living with dementia or MCI and care partners. The duration of the study will be 1 year. Each participant in the study will be followed for approximately 4 months. The study includes joining a weekly 1-hour dance program online on Zoom for 12 weeks. Prior and after the dance program, participants will meet with the research coordinator to answer some questionnaires about wellbeing and reflections on their experience in the program. After the completion of the dance program, participants will be invited to join a focus group to reflect of the impact of the program with fellow participants. The study will enroll up to 72 participants. This includes 36 dyads of persons living with dementia or MCI and their care partners. The study will enroll community-dwelling people living with a diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment or mild to moderate-stage dementia and care partners living in the United States. Read Less

The primary objective of this study is to analyze smart phone-based Transdermal Optical Imaging (TOI) features to develop a model that can discern hydration status, including: 1) at various timepoints throughout a 24-hour period in healthy adults from the general population (GENPOP), and 2) before and after a team coach-led training session in athletes competing in a sport (ATHLETE). TOI data will be collected alongside standard reference measures of hydration status. In this study each subject will serve as their own control. Read Less

Artificial airways, such as endotracheal tubes and tracheostomies, in the pediatric and neonatal intensive care units (PICU, NICU respectively) are lifesaving for patients in respiratory failure, among other conditions. These devices are not without a risk of infection - ventilator-associated infections (VAIs), namely ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) and ventilator-associated tracheitis (VAT), are common. Treatment of suspected VAI accounts for nearly half of all Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) antibiotic use. VAI can represent a continuum from tracheal colonization, progression to tracheobronchial inflammation, and then pneumonia. Colonization of these airways is common and bacterial growth does not necessarily indicate a clinically significant infection. Tracheostomies, which are artificial airways meant for chronic use, are routinely exchanged on a semi-monthly to monthly basis, in part to disrupt bacterial biofilm formation that aids bacterial colonization and perhaps infection. When patients with tracheostomies are admitted for acute on chronic respiratory failure or a concern for an infection, these artificial airways are also routinely exchanged at some institutions. There however remains a critical need to understand how an artificial airway exchange alters the bacterial environment of these patients in sickness and in health. This research hypothesizes that exchanging an artificial airway will alter the microbiome of the artificial airway, by altering the microbial diversity and relative abundance of different bacterial species of the artificial airway. This study will involve the prospective collection of tracheal aspirates from patients with artificial airways. We will screen and enroll all patients admitted to a the NICU or PICU at Cohen Children's Medical Center (CCMC) who have tracheostomies and obtain tracheal aspirates within 72 hours before and after tracheostomy or endotracheal tube exchange. Tracheal aspirates are routinely obtained in the NICU and PICU from suctioning of an artificial airway and is a minimal risk activity. These samples will be brought to the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research for 16 s ribosomal DNA (16srDNA) sequencing, which allows for accurate and sensitive detection of relative abundance and classification of bacterial flora. Tracheal aspirate sets will be analyzed against each other. Additionally, clinical and epidemiological data from the electronic medical record will be obtained. Antibiotic exposure will be accounted for via previously published means. Read Less

Sensorum Health (Sensorum) is conducting a pilot study to determine if Sensorum's proprietary passive sensor network can be used to identify signals of early health decompensation in subjects prior to a hospitalization for chronic disease exacerbation or other ambulatory care sensitive conditions. Successful early detection would provide a window of opportunity to intervene outside of the acute setting in future interventional studies. Read Less

The study is a prospective, multi-center, single-arm, non-randomized, Early Feasibility Study (EFS) to evaluate the safety and performance of the Half Moon TMVr System in patients with severe, symptomatic mitral regurgitation, who are at high risk for conventional mitral valve surgery. Read Less

The goal of this observational study is to assess the laryngeal air column width difference measurement on point of care ultrasound as a predictive indicator of post-extubation stridor in the pediatric critical care population. The main question it claims to answer is: In pediatric intensive care unit patients, can point of care ultrasound measurements of laryngeal air column width difference be used as a sensitive and specific tool to predict post extubation stridor in comparison to standard qualitative and quantitative evaluations? Participants will be enrolled when they are on or approaching extubation readiness. At this time, an ultrasound of their airway will be performed by the investigators and the laryngeal air column width difference will be recorded. Read Less

Visualization of the tissue microstructure during neurosurgery using a non destructive handheld imaging technology producing a real time digital image ("optical biopsy") at cellular resolution is a novel method that holds great promise for optimization and improvement of the surgical treatment of brain pathologies, brain tumors in particular. The goal of this project is to investigate and assess the ease of use of the CONVIVO FDA cleared system in discriminating healthy and abnormal tissues during in vivo use on the brain during neurosurgery in 30 patients with a working diagnosis of intrinsic brain tumors.
