rTMS Plus CCFES-mediated Functional Task Practice for Severe Stroke
Recruiting
This study is a necessary and important step in the development of a new therapy for upper limb functional recovery in patients with severe motor impairment. It is the first clinical trial of non-invasive brain stimulation (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation or rTMS) delivered to excite the undamaged hemisphere (specifically the contralesional higher motor cortices or cHMC) in stroke. Therefore, this study will determine whether the positive results obtained in our short-term pilot stu... Read More

Development and Testing of a Pediatric Cervical Spine Injury Risk Assessment Tool
Recruiting
Cervical spine injuries (CSI) are serious, but rare events in children. Spinal precautions (rigid cervical collar and immobilization on a longboard) in the prehospital setting may be beneficial for children with CSI, but are poorly studied. In contrast, spinal precautions for pediatric trauma patients without CSI are common and may be associated with harm. Spinal precautions result in well-documented adverse physical and physiological sequelae. Of substantial concern is that the mere presence of... Read More

Comparing Hypothermic Temperatures During Hemiarch Surgery
Recruiting
Hypothermic circulatory arrest is an important surgical technique, allowing complex aortic surgeries to be performed safely. Hypothermic circulatory arrest provides protection to cerebral and visceral organs, but may result in longer cardiopulmonary bypass times during surgery, increased risks of bleeding, inflammation, and neuronal injury. To manage these consequences, a trend towards warmer core body temperatures during circulatory arrest has emerged. This trial will randomize patients to eith... Read More

Transcutaneous Pulse Oximetry Brain Monitoring Study (US)
Recruiting
This is a study of adult patients with a severe and sudden brain injury who have a drain placed in their brain to measure pressure. The purpose of the study is to monitor the pressure in the brain using a monitor placed on the forehead, and compare this to a drain placed in the brain.

Mucosal Impedance Sleeve Gastrectomy
Recruiting
Obesity is a growing epidemic and bariatric surgery has been shown to be the most effective and efficient mean of achieving significant and sustainable weight loss in morbidly obese individuals. Studies have demonstrated that after LSG, between 5 and 30% of patients suffered from GERD, with a small subset of those patients (2.9 %) converting to another bariatric procedure (gastric bypass) because of debilitating GERD symptoms. The investigators propose this current study to examine mucosal impe... Read More

Detecting Absence Seizures Using Hyperventilation and Eye Movement Recordings
Recruiting
This study is being done to find out if a smartphone app can identify absence seizures. Children who have a history of absence seizures, as well as children without any seizure history, will be testing out the app. If participating the child will be guided through hyperventilation, an activity that asks the child to take quick, deep breaths. The app will record video of the child's face and sounds they make during hyperventilation. Hyperventilation is a safe and established technique frequently... Read More

ELUCIDATE FFRct Study
Recruiting
The goal of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of a novel plaque-based coronary CT angiography (CCTA) fractional flow reserve (FFRct) software device for the estimation of invasive fractional flow reserve (FFR). Researchers will compare the Elucid plaque-based FFRct analysis to invasively measured FFR in patients who have previously undergone CCTA and invasively assessed FFR.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurological disorder that results in slowness of movement, muscle stiffness, tremor, and postural instability. These symptoms significantly affect PD patients' quality of life, independence, and functional performance. There is currently no cure for PD, but symptoms can be treated with levodopa or deep brain stimulation surgery. Exercise-based rehabilitation has similar beneficial effects to surgical and pharmacological management without the potential... Read More
