The objective of this study is to design and use a novel, minimally invasive mucosal impedance (MI) technology to inexpensively and accurately test mucosal health in suspected gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and nonerosive reflux disease (NERD) patients as compared to those without GERD.
Medical images used to guide treatment of tumor(s) are presently displayed on flat-panel monitors (like screens used with computers). This protocol will evaluate, using a new headset to view the images in true 3D ("360 degrees"), while using standard flat panel monitors as usual (in accordance with standard of care). The headset is combined with a mini-global positioning system (GPS)-like system to help navigate to treat tumor(s). This evaluation is to show that the headset has potential to provide guidance and navigation information that can improve the treatment of tumor(s) with heat.
Benign and malignant hematologic diseases are relatively rare conditions within the spectrum of medical practice in any one site of care. Nonetheless, recent research in hematologic conditions from basic, translational, clinical and population perspectives offer the possibility of improving the way that these diseases are treated, and the outcomes experienced by patients. A repository that aggregates and validates this data across institutions and other practice settings is needed in order to identify variation in care, new findings, and further research.
To compare intraoperative as well as postoperative outcomes of SOLTIVE Thulium Fiber Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (ThuFLEP) vs Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate. Our hypothesis is that utilizing the SOLTIVE Thulium laser enucleation of the prostate will result in a more efficient procedure, comparable results to that of Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate and subjective improvement of prior device limitations
In the recent years, the treatment of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome has been proved that lung recruitment re-opens the non-ventilated alveolar to improve ventilation, and inhaled Nitric Oxide dilates non-perfused pulmonary vascular to improve perfusion. Both of these could improve ventilation-perfusion mismatch to enhance oxygenation. However, Ventilation-Perfusion mismatch is devided into ventilated nonperfused lung units(dead space) or perfused nonventilated units(shunt). No published study has evaluated the availability of lung recruitment combined with inhaled Nitric oxide in patients with ARDS. The aims of our study are to measure dead space or shunt fraction before and after inhaled Nitric Oxide in moderate to severe Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome patients indicated Nitric oxide in FEMH MICU on 2021/01-2022/12, injected a bolus of 10mL of 3% NaCl solution via the central venous catheter with two-step recruitment maneuver by Electrical Impedance Tomography, which monitors ventilation-perfusion mismatch to evaluate whether the patient has potential to improve V/Q mismatch by Nitric oxide.
The overall goal of this study is to develop and pilot test the use of practice facilitation as an intervention for healthcare providers and staff, with the goal of improving the implementation of cancer prevention and screening guidelines in primary care settings.
Noise stimulation had an immediate effect on improving balance control. The present study aimed to clarify the immediate neuromuscular adaptation induced by noise stimulation and find the correlation between neuromuscular adaptation and functional performance.
A randomized cross-over trial comparing the immediate effects of a wrist extensor exercise with and without blood flow restriction (BFR) on pain perception in patients with lateral elbow tendinopathy (LET).
The goal of this study is to test whether active duty firefighters find it possible and suitable to do cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES) at home, and test whether CES influences measures of stress. The main questions it aims to answer are: - is CES feasible and acceptable in a population of firefighters, and - does CES changes feelings of fatigue, anxiety, and brain connectivity in firefighters. Participants will - complete four weeks of CES at home, and - complete daily assessments of fatigue and anxiety, and maybe asked to - complete an MRI scan before and after CES, and - wear a device to measure their heart rate and sleep quality.
The goal of this study is to compare blood drawn using a device called HemoIV to standard-of-care blood drawn from a vein in the arm or from an IV catheter. The HemoIV is a device that is attached to an IV line. This device allows for blood to be drawn while a patient is receiving IV fluids. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Will the HemoIV device allow blood to be drawn without having to stop IV fluids? - Will the HemoIV device provide the same laboratory results as blood draws done by current standard practice? Participants will: - Receive standard medical procedures and/or treatment; - Have a HemoIV device inserted into their IV line in one arm; - Have an blood drawn twice from the HemoIV and from an IV line or needle stick from a vein in the other arm. The second blood draw will be done about 8-22 hours after the first blood draw; - Have the device removed after the second blood draw; - Receive a phone call about 8 days later to see how you are doing.
