Interventions for Reading Disabilities in NF1
Recruiting
Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) is a common genetic disorder that is associated with a four times greater risk of learning disabilities, including reading disabilities, and a deficiency of neurofibromin - a protein important in a signaling pathway that regulates learning and memory. Our previous work (NS49096) demonstrated that school-age children with NF+RD can respond to standard phonologically-based reading tutoring originally developed to treat reading disability in the general population.

Comprehensive Postpartum Management for Women With Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy
Recruiting
Investigators propose a comprehensive management program for postpartum patients with HDP who are at risk for severe maternal morbidity and mortality. Our program will emphasize three key components: 1) self-monitoring of blood pressures with app-based reporting connected to our electronic health record, 2) blood pressure management directed by a program navigator with guideline and physician support and 3) facilitated transitions of care to primary care clinicians for hypertension management.

Validation of Cutaneous Nerve Demyelination in Diagnosis and Treatment of CIDP
Recruiting
The goal of this observational study is to learn about chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy. The main question the investigators would like to answer is 1) can skin biopsy identify demyelination better than nerve conduction studies (electrical tests of the nerves)? and 2) how do nerves improve after treatment in CIDP? Participants will be asked to undergo skin biopsy of the finger at baseline and at 3 months and 6 months after treatment with IVIG (which is the FDA approved treatment... Read More

Study on Basal Joint Arthritis Prospective
Recruiting
The data in this prospective registry will be used 1) to define which surgical and nonoperative techniques are most effective at providing pain relief, restoring function, are cost effective, and patients are satisfied with their outcomes; and 2) to design focused clinical questions regarding the optimal treatment of basal joint arthritis of the thumb in future randomized controlled trials. There are no interventions or changes in patient care associated with this study.

A Pilot Study to Evidence Improved Cranial Flap Fixation With a Bioresorbable Bone Adhesive
Recruiting
This clinical pilot study will evaluate the use of a bioresorbable bone adhesive to improve cranial flap fixation at two study time points (at the time of fixation and 6 months). The aim of this Pilot Study is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the use of Tetranite for Cranial Flap Fixation (TN-CFF) to allow clinical study of the TN-CFF device in a greater number of patients.

Respiratory Strength Training in Heart Transplant Recipients
Recruiting
This research study is investigating whether completing breathing exercises before surgery helps heart transplant patients recover after surgery. Previous studies have shown that breathing exercises can improve breathing, cough, and swallow function in patients with other diseases/conditions. The current study will investigate the impact of a preoperative respiratory muscle strength training program on breathing and cough function, swallow function, patient-reported eating and swallowing fatigue...

A Comparison of ACL Repair With BEAR Device vs. Autograft Patellar Tendon ACL Reconstruction
