Building Resilience in Adrenoleukodystrophy with Imaging and Neuropsychology (BRAIN)

This study is about a genetic condition called Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD). The first goal of this study is to understand more about how ALD affects a child’s brain and development in childhood as they take part in medical care and monitoring. This is important to identify the optimal ways to detect and treat manifestations of ALD such as cerebral ALD. The second goal is to learn about how ALD affects caregivers, so that clinicians can offer better support to families in the future. We will also have healthy comparisons to help to learn more about the condition (ALD) being studied, by comparing the information collected to a child without the condition.

A Randomized Trial of Intra-Portal Alone Versus Intra- and Extra- Portal Transplantation of Pancreatic Islets After Total Pancreatectomy for Chronic Pancreatitis (iSite)

One treatment for certain types of chronic pancreatitis is total pancreatectomy with islet autotransplantation (TPIAT). In this procedure, the pancreas is removed (eliminating the source of the pain) and the islets, which produce insulin and other important hormones, are taken from the pancreas and transplanted in to the liver. This is a small study to evaluate a new procedure for transplanting some islets to a new location in the body.

MT2013-06C : Treatment of graft Failure after HSCT

The primary purpose of this study is to record outcomes and patient characteristics in the Masonic Cancer Center and BMT databases for patients undergoing a second transplant using a haploidentical donor, an unrelated donor or umbilical cord blood. The data will be analyzed for transplant “milestones” such as time to blood count recovery (engraftment) and how patients are doing at 3 months and 6 months after the transplant. Participation in this study will not alter treatment or medical care. All information for this study will be collected from medical records.

Use of Continuous Wave Doppler to assess Vascular Malformations in Pediatric Dermatology

The aim of our study is to look at blood flow in various tumors and irregularities located in blood vessels using a handheld continuous wave doppler. Correct and efficient diagnosis of vascular anomalies (outside of what is expected to happen in blood vessels) in pediatric patients will help determine a treatment plan. Blood flow in vascular anomalies has not been well described in the past.

Intermittent Pneumatic Compression with and without Exercise to Improve Functioning in Peripheral Artery Disease: The INTERCEDE TRIAL (INTERCEDE)

The purpose of this study is to establish whether the device, intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC), both with and without walking exercise, can improve the ability to walk and prevent decline in the ability to walk for people with PAD. Intermittent pneumatic compression consists of blood pressure cuffs that are wrapped around the lower legs (below the knees) that inflate three times per minute. These cuffs may improve blood flow to the lower legs and feet.

Neuroplasticity in REM Sleep Behavior Disorder

REM sleep behavior disorder may predict the eventual symptom development of Parkinson’s disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, or multiple system atrophy. This occurs over years to decades and the sleep disorder may hide other typical symptoms and result in a delay in diagnosis. We are studying the changes in the brain over two years. We will do high field MRI’s (7T) and other tests of neurological function of people who have REM sleep disorder and people who don’t have this disorder (matched for age and sex).

Brain Connectivity Patterns in Chronic Temporomandibular Joint Disorders

We are studying brain mechanisms related to chronic temporomandibular disorder (TMD) pain. We are looking at brain structural and functional characteristics that can potentially explain why some people experience persistent pain in their jaws for months or years. We will compare this to information we get from people who do not experience TMD pain. We expect that this new knowledge will improve our understanding of this chronic pain condition and help us develop better treatments.

In the first phase of the study, participants will be asked to complete two sets of appointments six months apart. During both sets of appointments, participants will be asked to complete interviews and questionnaires about their life experiences and mental health, and they will have an EEG and fMRI while completing computerized tasks. The second phase of the study is optional. In this phase, participants will test one of two forms of computerized cognitive training, or brain games. They will be asked to complete 10 hours of training over a 3-6 week period. After the training period is over, they will have two sets of follow up visits, one right after the training period and one five months later. At these appointments, participants will complete the same activities done in the first phase of this study, including the interviews, questionnaires, and imaging (fMRI and EEG) combined with computerized tasks. We are recruiting two groups of participants for this study. One group will include individuals who experience hallucinations, delusions, paranoia, or a psychosis disorder (i.e., schizophrenia), and the other group will be individuals who do not have a diagnosis or family history of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or autism spectrum disorder.

Asymmetries in motor control and their impact on functional independence

We are trying to learn more about how the brain controls movement and how this affects function after stroke. We expect differences in the side of brain damage to result in distinct movements of each arm. We will collect information with standard clinical exams and movements during tasks completed on the Kinereach virtual reality system. We will compare results between people who have and have not had a stroke.

Wearable monitor for FOG detection

Freezing of gait is a common problem in people with Parkinson's disease. Episodes of freezing can be overcome when a sensory cue is provided. This study will further develop and study the efficacy of a wireless shoe insole that can monitor walking and provide a cue (acoustic or vibrotactile) when a freezing event is detected. The experiment is designed to further test the ability of the device and algorithm to reliably detect freezing and release the episode with an external cue. This study has the potential to develop a tool that can help reduce the incidence and severity of freezing events in people with Parkinson's disease.

Neurofeedback and Neural Plasticity of Self-Processing and Affect Regulation Circuits in Suicide Attempting Adolescents

The purpose of this study is to examine a new, experimental treatment for adolescents at risk for suicide attempts called neurofeedback training. In neurofeedback training, you are trying to control your brain function on purpose. In this study, your child will see their brain activity (displayed like a thermometer). He/she will recall positive memories to try to change the levels of their brain activity shown on the visual thermometer inside a scanner.
