Filter by:Study ROR-PH-303, ADVANCE EXTENSION, is an open-label extension (OLE) study for participants with WHO Group 1 PAH who have participated in another Phase 2 or Phase 3 study of ralinepag.
To describe the design, methodology and baseline characteristics of the Shanghai Cohort study of Diabetic Eye disease (SCODE) study, a community-based study to determine the prevalence and impact of diabetic eye disease, especially diabetic retinopathy (DR), in adults with diabetes living in Shanghai.
The purpose of this study is to find out about the quality of life and health in patients who had retinoblastoma in one eye (unilateral retinoblastoma), who either received treatment with chemotherapy injected directly into an artery leading to the eye (intra-arterial chemotherapy) or removal of the eye (enucleation). By quality of life, the investigators mean how the participants are feeling about being satisfied with things in their life, including, physical health, emotional health, and their ability to carry out daily activities. The investigators want to see if either treatment option would affect quality of life differently. The investigators hope that this information will help us provide better care to future children with retinoblastoma and better follow-up care for survivors of retinoblastoma.
We will focus on the intestinal flora structure, risk factors and clinical features of male elderly with SIBO in our study.
To quantitatively assess distal radio ulnar joint (DRUJ) stability, a pressure-monitor ultrasound system was developed. The objective of this study was to evaluate the force-displacement relationship of DRUJ in patients and normal subjects. Each subject will be imaged sitting with elbow flexed and forearm pronated. The dorsal surface of distal radius and the center of ulnar head will be displayed at DRUJ level. The pressure toward palmar direction will be applied to distal ulna with different levels of transducer displacements, i.e. 1 mm, 2 mm, and 3 mm. The distance between the dorsal surface of the ulnar head and the dorsal surface of the distal radius will be measured. At the same time, the pressure to the transducer will be measured.
Early Check provides voluntary screening of newborns for a selected panel of conditions. The study has three main objectives: 1) develop and implement an approach to identify affected infants, 2) address the impact on infants and families who screen positive, and 3) evaluate the Early Check program. The Early Check screening will lead to earlier identification of newborns with rare health conditions in addition to providing important data on the implementation of this model program. Early diagnosis may result in health and development benefits for the newborns. Infants who have newborn screening in North Carolina will be eligible to participate, equating to over 120,000 eligible infants a year. Over 95% of participants are expected to screen negative. Newborns who screen positive and their parents are invited to additional research activities and services. Parents can enroll eligible newborns on the Early Check electronic Research Portal. Screening tests are conducted on residual blood from existing newborn screening dried blood spots. Confirmatory testing is provided free-of-charge for infants who screen positive, and carrier testing is provided to mothers of infants with fragile X. Affected newborns have a physical and developmental evaluation. Their parents have genetic counseling and are invited to participate in surveys and interviews. Ongoing evaluation of the program includes additional parent interviews.
The purpose of this study is to develop and evaluate a blood test and automated microfluidic test platform for the prenatal screening of fetal aneuploidy.
Background: Genes tell a person's body how to grow and work. All people have variations in their genes. Some of these cause differences that show up in a person's traits or their health, others do not. Researchers want to gather more data on people based on their genes. They want to use this data to learn more about diseases and possible treatments. Objectives: To develop a cohort of participants who can be contacted again for phenotyping and collect their genetic data. To share those data with other researchers and make them searchable. Eligibility: People already enrolled in a wide variety of protocols. They will be of varying health status, age, and gender. They will have had or plan to have exome or genome sequencing under their protocol. They can be re-contacted by the research team for possible other studies. Design: Participants will give basic details like contact and demographic information. Participants may answer questions about their personal health history, their family medical history, or their thoughts or reactions to data. Participants may have basic health tests. Their height, weight, or blood pressure may be checked. Participants may have tests of heart function. They may have an ultrasound or other non-invasive test. Participants may provide blood, urine, or other samples. Participants may have scans or other tests. Participants will get the results of all clinical tests in a letter. If any tests are abnormal, someone from the study will call the participant to explain what the results mean and what to do about them. Participants will get genetic testing results only if researchers think they could affect the health of the participant or their relatives.
The purpose of this study is to monitor all patients exposed to an AUTO CAR T cell therapy for up to 15 years following their first AUTO CAR T cell therapy infusion.
Aspirin exacerbated respiratory disease presents as a triad composed by asthma, eosinophilic rinosinusitis and intolerance to aspirin and NSAIDS. In subjects with chronic rhinosinusitis sleep alterations have been found, with important improvement after surgery, but those alterations and improvements have not been studied in patients diagnosed with AERD who, due to their comorbidities, may present more severe pre surgical symptoms and a more important post-surgical improvement. The investigators aim to study patients with AERD sleep, quality of life and symptoms before surgery, and one, three and six months post-surgery.
