RATIONALE: Specialized radiation therapy, such as 3-dimensional conformal radiation therapy, that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. Internal radiation uses radioactive material placed directly…

Many pregnant women in the US do not consume enough docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), an essential nutrient found in fish. Apparently conflicting findings that fish consumption is beneficial for the developing fetus, yet potentially toxic because of mercury contamination, have created …

The purpose of the Connect® MM Registry is to explore the natural history and real world management of patients with newly diagnosed symptomatic multiple myeloma (MM) and provide unique insights into the management of MM and the impact of this hematologic disorder on patients.

The aims of this protocol are: to collect and store diseased and normal tissue and body fluid samples from new and returning patients at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (SJCRH), affiliated sites and collaborating institutions; to collect and store samples from relatives of …

Many metabolic disturbances, such as protein-energy wasting, inulin resistance, and dyslipidemia are common features of chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, to date, the underlying mechanisms of these disturbances remain elusive. Many in vitro studies have demonstrated that whi…

In randomised phase III cancer clinical trials, the most objectively defined and only validated time-to-event endpoint is overall survival (OS). The appearance of new types of treatments and the multiplication of lines of treatment have resulted in the use of surrogate endpoints …

This study aims to study in patients with cancer of the cervix or the body of the uterus, or the ovary between the time of diagnosis and 3 months after the end of the last treatment: the evolution of the relationship of couple, and more particularly of communication (verbal and n…

Obesity is a worldwide health problematic whose incidence is increasing especially in developed countries. The surgical management of this illness consists in different techniques such as Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy but this treatment could not be efficient enough. The causes…

This study will investigate the response of immune cells (neutrophils, monocytes) to various signals in the test tube to determine how they sense the signals in the body and what substances they produce in response to them. It will determine how the cells may, under certain circu…

We believe that using a ceramide based foot cream two times a day for two weeks will prevent water loss and overall foot dryness in patients with non-insulin dependent diabetes.

Description of the geometrical configuration of the skeleton with regard to gravity line by patients suffering from spinal disorders that may induce postural troubles

RATIONALE: Collecting and storing samples of tissue, blood, and body fluid from patients with cancer to study in the laboratory may help the study of cancer in the future. PURPOSE: This research study is collecting and storing blood and tissue samples from patients being evaluat…

BACKGROUND: Lymphomas are comprised of a diversity of tumors with different pathologic and clinical features. While distinct differences in gene expression profiles have been elucidated in different lymphomas, there has been inconsistent correlation with the few published proteo…

This observational study is designed to determine how sugars, lipids and proteins in breast milk vary among mothers; is affected by maternal diet, health and microbiota and vary over the course of lactation. Additionally, the study is designed to determine how the structure and c…

There is actually two techniques of subclavian vein ultrasonography-guided venous catheterization : the axial and longitudinal approach. Currently, nothing makes it possible to privilege one technique compared to the other. This study aims to determine the best ultrasonography-gu…

In order to expand neuroscience research and move laboratory advances to patients, there is a need to integrate reliable clinical data with biologic information from patient tissue specimens. The Neuroscience Research Repository (NRR) seeks to meet this need. The NRR is a prospec…

The objective of this project is to estimate the prevalence of spermatic abnormalities in patients with Fabry disease.The main objective of this project is to estimate the prevalence of spermatic abnormalities in patients with Fabry disease.

The purpose of this study is to define the natural history of Mucolipidosis Type IV and identify potential clinical outcome measures.

The purpose of this study is to establish viable cell culture system techniques for a variety of healthy and diseased tissues for use in future in vitro and in vivo research studies in tissue engineering.

The MURDOCK Study Community Registry and Biorepository (Horizon 1.5) aims to create a large-scale community registry and biorepository that can be used as a vehicle for future health services, epidemiologic, clinical trials and other omics-related research.
