Feb 3rd, 2023 - Chronic viral hepatitis is a major health problem affecting millions globally. The immunosuppressed population, especially those with HIV infection, remains at particular risk and the incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is increasing in the US and worldwide, with high rates in those who are cirrhotic, and is the 10th most common cause of death in the US. HIV-hepatitis coinfection is pro...

Feb 3rd, 2023 - Project Focus The focus of this project is to improve the ventilatory management of patients with acute respiratory failure in the critical care setting by enhancing the use of non-invasive ventilation, a goal that should lead to improved outcomes and efficiency of care. Within the framework of the funding agency, the Chest Foundation, this proposal aims to promote the use of alternative therap...

Feb 3rd, 2023 - Background: Neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) is a genetic disease with multiple clinical manifestations, including plexiform neurofibromas (pNFs) that can cause pain and may significantly impact daily functioning and quality of life (QOL). Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are useful in trials for conditions that are disabling and chronic like NF1, where symptom reduction and improved functioning and Q...

Feb 3rd, 2023 - The Pediatric Spine Foundation is a registry designed to assist spine surgeons to efficiently identify and track patients with chest wall and spinal disorders. The registry allows spine surgeons to participate in retrospective and prospective studies for specific spinal disorders.

Feb 3rd, 2023 - Elevated amniotic fluid lactate (AFL) and uterine electromyography (EMG) mathematically transformed to calculated the power density spectrum median frequency have been found separately to be associated with labor dystocia and cesarean birth. Both are hypothesized to reflect that uterine fatigue plays a role in the pathophysiology of labor dystocia for some women. This study aims to characterize...

Feb 3rd, 2023 - The Hyper IgE Syndromes (HIES) are primary immunodeficiencies resulting in eczema and recurrent skin and lung infections. Autosomal dominant Hyper IgE syndrome (AD-HIES; Job's syndrome) is caused by STAT3 mutations, and is a multi-system disorder with skeletal, vascular, and connective tissue manifestations. Understanding how STAT3 mutations cause these diverse clinical manifestations is critic...

Feb 3rd, 2023 - The purpose of this study is to develop a database of normative and adaptive control strategies for human motion. Volunteers will serve as subjects after they complete a neuromusculoskeletal screening exam. Subjects will be asked to perform one or more tasks related to the execution of activities of daily living such as: walking on the ground, walking on a treadmill, quiet and perturbed standin...

Feb 3rd, 2023 - The purpose of this family based natural history protocol is to allow for patients, and relatives of patients to be screened for Autoimmune Lymphoproliferative Syndrome (ALPS) and related disorders of apoptosis, Ras Associated Leukoproliferative Disorder (RALD). Patients and relatives will be evaluated by mail-in samples or in person at the NIH Clinical Center if they meet the eligibility crite...

Feb 3rd, 2023 - Evaluation of the long-term level of persistence and potential late or delayed adverse events associated with PF-06838435 (formerly SPK-9001), assessment of the durability of the transgene expression, and determination of the effects of PF-06838435 on clinical outcomes in individuals who have previously received a single administration of PF-06838435 in the C0371005 study. Amendment 2 of this s...

Feb 3rd, 2023 - Objective The goal of this protocol is to improve spatial resolution and contrast in MRI studies of brain anatomy and function, by developing novel hardware, and image acquisition and reconstruction techniques. Specifically, by improving MRI image quality and manipulating MRI contrast, we aim to better characterize and quantify structural, chemical, and blood flow variations across the brain, a...

Feb 3rd, 2023 - This is a single site nonrandomized feasibility study of approximately 50 participants on treatment and/or surveillance for new or existing diagnoses of lung cancer who will be assigned to a single-arm involving monitoring of their patient-reported outcomes using a mobile medical application. The study procedures include monitoring of patient symptoms using automated weekly PRO surveys delivere...

Feb 3rd, 2023 - This study will validate the impact of comprehensive geriatric assessments using activity of daily living (ADL), instrumental activity of daily living (IADL), and Charlson's comorbidity index (CCI) on survival and toxicities in Korean patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) treated with R-CHOP.

Feb 3rd, 2023 - This is an, open-label, two-cohort protocol designed to evaluate the activity of targeted therapy and SABR in ALK positive lung adenocarcinoma.
