Effects of Combination Medical Therapy Followed by BPA on Right Ventricular-PA Coupling and Hemodynamics in CTEPH
Recruiting
The main goal of this study is to determine the effects of combination medical therapy (Riociguat and Macitentan) and balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) on hemodynamics and right ventricular (RV) function (including advanced assessments of RV-pulmonary artery (PA) coupling from invasive hemodynamics) in participants with inoperable or post-PTE residual CTEPH.

Amplatzer Amulet LAAO Vs. NOAC
Recruiting
The objective of this trial is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Amulet LAA occluder compared to NOAC therapy in patients with non-valvular AF at increased risk for ischemic stroke and who are recommended for long-term NOAC therapy. The clinical investigation is a prospective, randomized, multicenter active control worldwide trial. Subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio between the Amulet LAA occlusion device ("Device Group") and a commercially available NOAC medication ("Cont... Read More

Sickle Cell Clinical Research and Intervention Program
Recruiting
Despite the important work of previous sickle cell disease (SCD) cohort studies, there remain many understudied areas that require investigation. An important knowledge deficit is the slow but progressive process of chronic end-organ dysfunction. The majority of organ dysfunction becomes apparent in the young adult years, but comprehensive assessment of adults and understanding of predictors of adulthood organ dysfunction are insufficient. Similarly, the role of disease-modifying therapies, such... Read More

Functional Incremental Stepping in Place Test (F-IST) Validation
Recruiting
The purpose of this multi-site prospective study is to assess validity of a new step test called Functional-Incremental Stepping-in-place- Test (F-IST) compared to gold-standard cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) and to physical function and health perception, respectively. The investigators will also assess test-retest reliability of the F-IST. The investigators hypothesize that the F-IST will have high validity and test-retest reliability to be used in field testing environments such as t... Read More

Establishment of ProNephro AKI (NGAL) Cut Off Value for Risk Assessment of Moderate to Severe Acute Kidney Injury in Adults
Recruiting
The purpose of this research is to collect blood and urine from adult patients admitted to an intensive care unit. This is to assess the performance of the ProNephro AKI (NGAL) assay (lab test) as an aid to identify patients at risk for acute kidney injury.

Cryocompression to Reduce Chemotherapy-induced Peripheral Neuropathy in Gynecologic Cancer - COHORT 2
Recruiting
The investigators aim to determine the effect of cryotherapy wraps plus compression therapy (henceforth referred to as cryocompression) versus cryotherapy wraps alone on the incidence and degree of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy in patients with gynecologic cancer using a noninferiority design. The investigators also aim to determine the effect of cryocompression versus cryotherapy on patient tolerability and patient and staff satisfaction.

19F MRI in Healthy Children and Children With Mild Cystic Fibrosis Lung Disease
Recruiting
This study capitalizes on the emerging technology of 19F MRI, using conventional 'thermally' polarized perfluorinated gas (perfluoropropane, or PFP) mixed with oxygen and studied with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to visualize ventilation. This technique has not been studied in children. Children and adolescents (6-17 years old) with cystic fibrosis (CF) who have normal spirometry will undergo 19F MRI with the inhalation of an inert contrast gas to study ventilation. Comparisons will be made... Read More

Brain Structure and Clinical Endpoints in Myotonic Dystrophy Type 2
Recruiting
Nearly two-third of patients with myotonic dystrophy type 2 (DM2) report that impaired cognition is among the most disabling symptoms and deeply affects their quality of life. Yet, relatively little is known about how DM2 affects brain structure and cognitive function as brain imaging studies in DM2 are extremely limited. This is a prospective, cross-sectional study of brain structure and function on cognitive and motor performance in patients with DM2 compared to healthy controls. All participa... Read More
