This study compares Virtual Reality versus Nitrous oxide administration for the management of anxiety and pain related to post-cardiac surgery care, especially during removal of mediastinal drainage.

The objective of this study is to better define the role of the hormone angiotensin-(1-7) in energy balance. We will test the overall hypothesis that angiotensin-(1-7) increases resting energy expenditure and promotes markers of heat production (thermogenesis) in white adipose ti…

The purpose of this study is to provide a registry of participants in order to assess the acute adverse event rates following ablative radiotherapy for metastatic disease.

Membranous nephropathy (MN) is the most frequent cause of nephrotic syndrome (NS) in adults. The majority of MN patients show detectable circulating antibodies against the M-type phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R). Infusion of anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies results in a profound …

The purpose of this study is to learn about possible changes in cognitive (mental) abilities, such as memory skills and concentration, and in brain anatomy (structure) and function, in people with lymphoma receiving CAR-T therapy.

The purpose of the study is to understand the extent and degree of somatostatin receptor expression in poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas . This may help to make a determination if a radiolabeled somatostatin analog therapy, also referred to as peptide receptor radio…

Background: Blood disorders like sickle cell disease and malaria affect many people around the world. Researchers want to learn more about blood disorders. To do this, they need to collect biological samples from people with blood disorders. They also need to collect samples fro…

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in the treatment of mild to moderate eyebrow hypotrichosis. This is a randomized clinical trial to evaluate the effect of autologous platelet rich plasma in subjects with mild to moderat…

This is a pilot study designed to to provide data and experience comparing two different techniques of breath hold SBRT treatments. The first technique will include SGRT, but with the assistance of implanted fiducials. Subjects will be treated with a breath hold technique utilizi…

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of the addition of epinephrine to bilateral real time ultrasound guided pterygopalatine ganglion blocks on intra-operative bleeding and blood loss during functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS).

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of autologous human Schwann cell (ahSC) augmentation of nerve autograft repair in participants with severe peripheral nerve injury (PNI). For humans with acute severe PNI, the hypothesis is that augmentation of nerve autograft rep…

Two hallmarks of both healthy aging and age-related disease are 1) memory and navigational deficits, particularly in orienting towards goal locations and planning how to navigate to them, and 2) increased susceptibility to stress and altered regulation of the stress response. How…

Anastomotic leakage is the major postoperative complication in right colectomy. Evaluation of calcification on coeliac trunk and mesenteric arteries on the preoperative CT scan could allow the identification of patient at-risk of postoperative complications. A monocentric retros…

This trial studies cardiac changes after radiation or chemo-radiation for the treatment of lung or esophageal cancer that has not spread to other places in the body (non-metastatic) or has not come back (non-recurrent). Continuous cardiac monitoring with an implanted device may h…

Background: Some groups of people have a high prevalence of asthma and allergic disease. Also, asthma and allergic disease are often found in several members of the same family. Researchers want to learn more about what factors might cause asthma, both genetic and environmental.…

The ARMOR Trial will test the efficacy of an oral care protocol to treat oral mucositis (OM) in patients receiving radiation (RT) or chemoradiation (chemoRT) for head and neck cancer. Participants will attend a screening/baseline visit, weekly intervention visits while they are u…

This study will examine the association between low muscle mass (myopenia) at diagnosis and chemotherapy toxicity in older adults with newly diagnosed advanced colorectal cancer.

1\. Perform observational study utilizing real-time quantification of ocular inflammation to determine minimal important change. Prospective use of changes in imaging quantification of inflammation (IQI) scores in determining treatment decisions both utilizing novel FA viewer so…

This registry aims to provide the first prospective, multicentric database of patients with malignant hypertension. It will allow to assess modern epidemiology of the disease, diversity of current management and care pathway, to deepen our pathophysiological knowledges, to modern…

Increasing age is a known predictor of morbidity and mortality after a traumatic injury with worst outcomes seen in patients with age greater than 65 years. Geriatric trauma patients are a unique cohort of patients who are highly prone to develop decompensated state following the…
