Animal-Assisted Visitation Program Chlorhexidine Trial
NCT04171817
Recruiting
Hospital-based Animal-Assisted visitation programs are important complementary therapies, but concerns with infection control may challenge the sustainability of these programs. Pilot data suggest that a low-cost chlorhexidine-based intervention targeted to the dogs involved in the visitation programs holds high potential to prevent pathogen transmission during sessions. In this study, the following aims will be tested: 1) To identify program-related risk factors for acquisition of hospital-asso... Read More

Comparing Proton Therapy to Photon Radiation Therapy for Esophageal Cancer
NCT03801876
Recruiting
This trial studies how well proton beam radiation therapy compared with intensity modulated photon radiotherapy works in treating patients with stage I-IVA esophageal cancer. Proton beam radiation therapy uses a beam of protons (rather than x-rays) to send radiation inside the body to the tumor without damaging much of the healthy tissue around it. Intensity modulated photon radiotherapy uses high-energy x-rays to deliver radiation directly to the tumor without damaging much of the healthy tissu... Read More

Hypertension Chronobiome
NCT03598894
Recruiting
Hypertension is a common condition with a concomitant burden of stroke, kidney disease and myocardial infarction. Its prevalence in developed societies is increasing as they age, and in less developed countries, as their populations assume aspects of the Western diet and lifestyle. Nocturnal non-dipping hypertension (NDHT) - the failure of blood pressure (BP) to dip at night - is estimated to complicate \~40% of hypertensives and is associated with poor outcomes. Randomized controlled trials hav... Read More

Assessment of Chronic Lung Allograft Dysfunction Using Single-breath & Multi-breath Hyperpolarized Xenon-129 MRI
NCT04941573
Recruiting
This study will use Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to study the lungs of 90 volunteers using the inhaled contrast agent, hyperpolarized xenon-129. Once inhaled, this gas can provide information to imagers regarding lung functionality across specific regions of the lungs by assessing the replacement of air during the normal breathing cycle, how much oxygen is in the airspaces, and if the natural spongy tissue structure has been compromised by lung disease. Of the 90 subjects, 70 will be patient... Read More
