Engaging Men in Weight Loss With a Game-based mHealth and Neurotraining Program
Recruiting
Men in the United States have an exceptionally high prevalence of overweight and obesity, i.e., 71.3%, and 42% of men are currently attempting weight loss. However, men are dramatically underrepresented in weight loss programs. Attempts to modestly adapt standard weight loss programs have seen only minimal success. Mobile applications (mHealth apps) have attractive features, but have low male enrollment and poor efficacy as conventionally delivered. A gamified mHealth program offers the possibil... Read More

Validation of CAGIB Score for In-hospital Mortality of Cirrhotic Patients With Acute Gastrointestinal Bleeding
Recruiting
Acute gastrointestinal bleeding is potentially lethal in liver cirrhosis. Accurate assessment of prognosis is critical in a timely fashion. A novel model, CAGIB score, has been developed based on our Chinese multicenter retrospective study. Now, a prospective, international multicenter, observational study will be performed to further compare the performance of CAGIB versus Child-Pugh and MELD scores for evaluating the in-hospital mortality of patients with liver cirrhosis and acute gastrointest...

Congenital Heart Disease GEnetic NEtwork Study (CHD GENES)
Recruiting
Congenital heart defects (CHD) are the most common major human birth malformation, affecting \~8 per 1,000 live births. CHD are associated with significant morbidity and mortality, and are second only to infectious diseases in contributing to the infant mortality rate. Current understanding of the etiology of pediatric cardiovascular disorders is limited. The Congenital Heart Disease GEnetic NEtwork Study (CHD GENES) is a multi-center, prospective observational cohort study. Participants will b... Read More

Improving Infant Hydrocephalus Outcomes in Uganda
Recruiting
Neonatal postinfectious hydrocephalus (PIH) is a major public health problem in East Africa.The standard treatment has long been placement of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) but these devices require life-long maintenance and nearly all fail multiple times. Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy (ETV) with Choroid Plexus Cauterization (ETV/CPC) is an alternate treatment to give patients a shunt-free life. In this study, the investigators aim to optimize the metrics of evaluation as quantitative pro... Read More

The Effect of Guided Care With Vectra Compared to Treatment as Usual in Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis
Recruiting
The goal of treating patients diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is to achieve remission or low disease activity and thereby prevent joint damage, loss of physical function, and disability. Optimal management requires regular assessment of disease activity, with treatment changes made as needed for optimal efficacy. Vectra is a blood serum test that looks at 12 biomarkers and produces a score on a scale of 1 to 100. The Vectra score has been shown to be the strongest predictor of risk for... Read More
