The purpose of this study is to compare the outcomes of two different treatment options commonly used to manage periprosthetic joint infection (PJI), an infection around the artificial knee or hip.

This study evaluates the benefits of hydroxychloroquine on arterial function in antiphospholipid syndrome. Briefly, the patients will be randomized in two groups, one will receive hydroxychloroquine and standard treatment, the other will receive placebo in addition of standard t…

Open-label pilot study to determine the safety and tolerability of autologous CD4+ CD25+ regulatory T cells infusions with concomitant subcutaneous IL-2 injections taken 3 times per week in 3 participants with ALS.

The NYU Human Microbiome Study Cohort is designed to improve understanding of the role of human microbiome in health and disease. This study will serve as a critical NYU biorepository resource for research on human genetics and the microbiome in health and disease

The purpose of this study is to better understand the outcomes of active surveillance (observation) instead of immediate surgery, which is the current standard of care for papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC). Patients with a 1.5 cm or smaller thyroid nodule(s) with papillary …

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether cells from a biopsy taken from the patient skin can be transformed into cardiomyocytes the changes in cardiomyocyte (heart muscle cells) when grown in a special culture medium outside of the body. The structure and function of t…

This is a prospective observational study. 1. In the first part of the study, consenting eligible adult patients with low risk papillary thyroid cancer that is confined to the thyroid, are provided verbal and written information about their disease and the option of active surve…

Williams syndrome is a rare genetic disorder occurring in 1:8000-12,000 individuals. It is caused by the deletion of 25-27 coding genes, including elastin (ELN) on the 7th human chromosome. Haploinsufficiency for these genes leads to the features of the condition, including: * D…

This was a single-center prospective observational cohort study conducted in Poland in the context of routine metabolic outpatient care. The study assessed selected metabolic, biochemical, oxidative-stress, inflammatory, and body-composition parameters in individuals with overwei…

During the creation of an ileostomy, a bridge device is systematically placed in an aim to reduce wound and peritoneal contamination by stools. Nevertheless no evidence was reported to justify this issue. Moreover the placement of a bridge device increases the difficulty of nurs…

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) is now the method of choice to treat aortic stenosis in old and frail patients. Antiplatelet therapy must be associated for the procedure and during few weeks after implantation in the aim to minimize cerebral embolization. But for n…

This study evaluates the use of rapid tests for hematocrit and clotting function in women undergoing surgery for placenta accreta. Half of participants will have these rapid tests performed during surgery to guide blood product transfusion and the other half will have standard la…

Gingival enlargement caused by chronic inflammation may require surgical intervention when non-surgical periodontal therapy is insufficient. Gingivectomy and gingivoplasty are commonly performed procedures to remove excessive gingival tissue and restore normal gingival contour. H…

Drug provocation tests (DPT) are widely in case of suspicion of drug hypersensitivity (and in the absence of contraindications), but there are no standardized protocols and most groups use hypothesis (clinically-driven) protocols. investigators used 20 year experience in drug hy…

This is a prospective, observational, multi-center cohort study of pediatric cardiac arrests. The purpose of the study is to determine the association between chest compression mechanics (rate, depth, flow fraction, compression release) and patient outcomes. In addition, the inv…

This research trial collects biological samples and clinical information to create a repository of data from patients with cancer or a predisposition for cancer. Combining genetic information from biological samples and clinical data may lead to more knowledge about why certain c…

The purpose of this study is to understand what happens to platelets and blood clotting factors in burn patients over time. This study will also examine the role of microparticles (MPs), nanoparticles (NPs), and micro RNA in burns. The investigators will be looking at small parti…

This research study is studying a drug called ACY-1215 in combination with ibrutinib or idelalisib as a possible treatment for Relapsed or Refractory Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL).

The goal of this research is to develop measurement tools and simulation technology for characterizing and predicting individual responses to corneal treatments and for advancing understanding of corneal ectasia risk factors. Patients who either 1) have keratoconus and are being …
