NCT01237886
Knowing when to liberate patients from mechanical ventilation (i.e. removal of breathing or endotracheal tube or extubation) is critically important, as both prolonged ventilation and failed extubation are both associated with harm and risk of death. Our objective is to improve the safety of extubation by harnessing hidden information contained in the patterns of variation of heart and respiratory rate measured over intervals-in-time. Currently, to assess a patient's ability to be extubated, a spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) is routinely performed, where the level of ventilator support is reduced, and their response is observed in order to help predict if they will tolerate extubation (i.e. complete removal of ventilator support). Given that health is associated with a high degree of variation of physiologic parameters (e.g. heart and respiratory rate), and illness \& stress are associated with a loss of variability, the investigators aim to uncover the loss of variation as a measure of stress during SBT's. The investigators hypothesize that maintaining stable heart rate and respiratory rate variability (HRV and RRV) throughout the SBT will predict subsequent successful extubation, and conversely, a reduction in either HRV or RRV manifest during a SBT predicts extubation failure. A pilot study has demonstrated feasibility, and compelling preliminary results. A website, centralized data storage and analysis, and a trans-disciplinary team of scientists are in place to definitively test this novel technology. Determination of when to extubate critically ill patients remains a high-stakes clinical challenge; and improved prediction of extubation failure has potential to save lives and reduce costs in critically ill patients.
NCT01522235
The purpose of the study is to see if administering intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) (putting immune globulin directly into your blood) helps to improve the symptoms of orthostatic hypotension (sudden fall in blood pressure when a person stands up) and quality of life in men and women who have autoimmune autonomic ganglionopathy (AAG).
NCT01877668
This is a 12-month study investigating the effectiveness and safety of tofactinib in treating the signs and symptoms of active psoriatic arthritis and improving physical function and preserving bone structure in patients with an inadequate response to a traditional, nonbiologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drug. Adalimumab is used as a comparator.
NCT00044239
The purpose of this study is to learn more about Obsessive-compulsive Disorder (OCD) in children. OCD usually has a slow onset, and symptoms that may remain at a stable level over time. A subset of children with OCD has a sudden onset and symptoms that fluctuate in severity over time. This study will also compare healthy children to those with OCD. This is an observational study; children who participate will not receive any new or experimental therapies. OCD affects nearly 1% of the pediatric population. The symptoms of this illness can interrupt development, causing significant psychological distress and producing life-long impairments in social, academic, and occupational functioning. A subgroup of pediatric OCD has been designated by the acronym PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections). This type of OCD is characterized by sudden symptom onset and a relapsing-remitting course of illness; exacerbation of symptoms occurs with scarlet fever or strep. throat infections. This study will identify factors that distinguish children with PANDAS OCD from children with non-PANDAS OCD, and will compare both groups to healthy children. Children with OCD and their parents are screened with interviews and a review of the child's medical records. Participants have an initial evaluation that includes a psychiatric, physical and neuromotor exam, neuropsychological testing, psychological interviews, and a blood test. Structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRS) scans of the brain are also obtained. The MRS scan does not use radiation. After the initial evaluation, children with OCD have follow-up visits every 6 weeks for 12 to 24 months. They are seen yearly for 8 years after the study. If they have a significant improvement or worsening of their symptoms, they are asked to make a maximum of two extra visits. Parents of OCD patients are called four times a year to discuss any changes in the child's condition between yearly visits. All participants have a 1-year follow-up visit upon study completion.
NCT00918047
Study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of OXC XR as adjunctive therapy in pediatric subjects with refractory partial epilepsy.
NCT00539747
This exploratory study will examine ways in which individuals approach a positive genetic test for Huntington Disease (HD). HD is a neurodegenerative disorder that causes emotional, cognitive, and movement problems, and currently there is no way to prevent, stop or reverse the progression of the disease. It is passed down through a mutation in a normal gene, and each child of an HD parent has a 50-50 chance of inheriting the HD gene. The study is designed to explore how individuals adjust to their new genetic status and evaluate any perceived mental or emotional barriers to that adjustment. Currently, little is known about how individuals come to terms with a positive genetic test result for a condition that has no known cure or effective treatment. The results of this study may give health care providers and counselors more information about how to help patients who are at risk for developing HD make sense of their new genetic status. Candidates will be prescreened and referred to the study by clinics that specialize in genetic testing and counseling. Candidates must be 18 years old or older and must have received a positive genetic test result for HD at least one month prior to the study. They must also perceive themselves to be asymptomatic-that is, without existing HD symptoms. During the study, participants will be interviewed and asked a series of questions about their decision to pursue testing, their life since the testing, and the things that they have found helpful or unhelpful since receiving the test results. The interviews will be recorded and will last approximately 60 minutes. Participants also will receive a follow-up phone call within two to three days to ensure their general psychological well-being after the interview.
NCT00981903
In this study the investigators will determine the safety and effectiveness of Tinzaparin in preventing blood clots for up to 12 months of treatment.
NCT00097682
This study will explore what research patients understand about financial collaborations in the research setting and their concerns about these collaborations. Financial partnerships are crucial to advancing medical research; however, they are giving rise to increasing concerns about financial conflicts of interest and possible impacts on the integrity of research and patient safety. This study will examine patients' views about financial ties between drug companies and the doctors running research studies, as well as ties between the drug companies and the cancer centers where the studies are conducted. Patients 18 years of age and older who are enrolled in cancer studies at the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, MD; the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, WA; the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, MA; the Columbia Comprehensive University Herbert Irving Cancer Center in New York, NY; and the University of Colorado Cancer Center in Denver, CO, may be eligible for this study. Participants are interviewed about the following: * Patients' awareness and understanding about individual and institutional financial conflicts of interest, and how such conflicts, if they exist, are being managed * The impact of a researcher's financial ties on the patient's decision to participate in that researcher's study * The impact of the institution's financial ties on the patient's decision to participate in research at that institution * Attitudes about policies and practices regarding conflicts of interest in the research setting * Attitudes about disclosure of conflicts of interest in the research setting * Patient symptoms and performance * Patient's cancer trial * Patient's cancer history * Patient's trust * Patient demographics (gender, age, race, religion, education, income, health insurance, employment).
NCT01231945
Background: \- Low-cost molecular human papillomavirus (HPV) testing may offer a more robust alternative to Pap smears and visual inspection for cervical cancer screening of underserved women. Two low-cost molecular tests for human HPV, the HPV E6 Test and the careHPV test, have been developed to detect cervical cancer by testing for HPV DNA. These tests take between 2 and 3 hours to run and may provide point-of-care (diagnostic testing at or near the site of patient care) testing for HPV. Researchers are interested in evaluating both tests to determine the best strategy for HPV testing of women who live in rural or underserved areas that have a high prevalence of cervical cancer diagnoses. Objectives: * To evaluate the clinical performance of the HPV E6 Test and careHPV in detecting cervical cancer and precancerous lesions. * To evaluate the best low-cost test or combination of tests for women who have been referred for cervical cancer screening or treatment. * To compare the clinical performance of self-collected specimens versus clinician-collected specimens in detecting cervical cancer and precancerous lesions. Eligibility: \- Women between 25 and 65 years of age who live in rural China. Design: * This study involves an initial testing visit and a 1-year followup visit for a high-risk subgroup. * Participants will have the HPV E6 test, careHPV, and a visual inspection test for cervical cancer. For comparison, participants will also have the standard HPV test approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. * Participants who test positive for HPV on any of the above tests will also have colposcopy to collect samples of cervical tissue for further study. * A random sample of women who test negative for HPV will also have colposcopy. Participants may also have biopsies if there is visual evidence of cervical abnormalities. * At the 1-year followup visit, participants in the high-risk subgroup will have the same tests as in the previous visit..
