OCT in Diagnosis of Irregular Corneas
NCT03504800
Recruiting
This main goal of this study is to improve the detection, classification, monitoring, and treatment of irregular corneas due to keratoconus, warpage, dry eye, scar, stromal dystrophies, and other corneal conditions. The primary goal will be achieved by using optical coherence tomography (OCT) to: 1. Develop an OCT-based system to classify and evaluate corneal-shape irregularities. 2. Develop OCT metrics for more sensitive detection of keratoconus progression. 3. Develop OCT-and-topography guid... Read More

Longitudinal Study of Urea Cycle Disorders
NCT00237315
Recruiting
Urea cycle disorders (UCD) are a group of rare inherited metabolism disorders. Infants and children with UCD commonly experience episodes of vomiting, lethargy, and coma. The purpose of this study is to perform a long-term analysis of a large group of individuals with various UCDs. The study will focus on the natural history, disease progression, treatment, and outcome of individuals with UCD.

Strength and Muscle Related Outcomes for Nutrition and Lung Function in CF
NCT05639556
Recruiting
The goal of the study is to examine multiple markers of anthropometrics, body composition, sarcopenia and frailty and compare them to dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) output, which is considered the current clinical gold-standard tool to measure body composition. The result of this study will provide detailed data regarding the nutrition and body composition within this Cystic Fibrosis population and also provide a baseline evaluation for use of these biomarkers in the future studies inclu...

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) in Uveitis
NCT02026128
Recruiting
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) machines are non-contact instruments that can provide micrometer (one one-thousandths) scale imaging of biological tissue. This allows excellent assessment of the white blood and inflammatory cells seen in uveitis, an inflammation of any or all parts of the uvea (iris, ciliary body, choroid).

Observational Study of Corneal Opacities in Adults
NCT02109471
Recruiting
A prospective observational study on corneal opacities (scar and stromal dystrophy) in adults (n=150) will be conducted at OHSU. The Optovue anterior segment OCT will be used to perform 3-D corneal scans. These scans will be used to assess opacity depth and measure corneal thickness (pachymetry), corneal topography (anterior and posterior), and epithelial thickness maps. The ultrahigh-speed MIT OCT prototypes will also be used when they become available. A comprehensive eye examination, Placido-... Read More

OCT in Rare Chorioretinal Diseases
NCT02141308
Recruiting
This study will evaluate the total blood flow in the retina and choroid (structures in the back of the eye) by Doppler optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography. Angiography is mapping of the blood vessels. The purpose of measuring blood flow in the retina and choroid is to 1.) determine if rare diseases in these structures causes a change in blood flow compared to healthy eyes and 2.) find out if areas of changed blood flow line up with areas of damage that appear on conventional...

Collagen Cross-linking in Keratoconus
NCT03760432
Recruiting
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) devices are non-contact instruments that can measure the depth of scars, other causes of cloudiness of the cornea, and degree of corneal thinning in patients with keratoconus. Laser Custom Corneal Collagen Cross-linking (CXL) significantly decreases corneal aberrations and improves vision. This study will use OCT-guided setting for the lasers used in the corneal smoothing portion of the laser custom CXL procedure to assess the affect on visual outcomes.
