Biologic Abatement and Capturing Kids Outcomes and Flare Frequency in Juvenile Spondyloarthritis (BACK OFF JSpA) (BACK-OFF JSpA)

This study is enrolling participants who have been diagnosed with juvenile spondyloarthritis, are taking a tumor necrosis factor inhibitor (TNFi) and have reached a clinically inactive disease state for a minimum of six months. Researchers want to know if children who have maintained inactive disease for at least 6 months can maintain quiet disease without taking their medication as frequently or stop the TNFi therapy. Quiet disease means that disease related symptoms are not active or being experienced in the patient. Researchers also want to know the safest method to bring patients off medication. If a flare does occur during therapy reduction, researchers want to find out whether they can predict when a flare is most likely to happen, and how quickly an inactive disease state can be recaptured.

State Representation in Early Psychosis (STEP)

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.

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.

Transcatheter Replacement of Stenotic Aortic Valve through Implantation of ACURATE in Subjects InDicatEd for TAVR

Severe aortic valve stenosis can include stiffening and hardening of the heart valve leaflets (tissue that opens and closes in the heart valve) so that the valve cannot work properly. If left untreated, excessive strain put on the heart muscle will eventually cause it to fail or lead to other serious complications. This study is a research project to assess a way of replacing aortic valves without the need for open-heart surgery and without surgically opening the heart to remove the narrowed valve. The device under study is called the ACURATE Transfemoral Aortic Valve System. The study will compare the safety and effectiveness of the ACURATE Valve, along with other commercially available TAVR devices.

Paravertebral Block to Reduce the Incidence of New Onset Atrial Fibrillation After Cardiac Surgery: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Pilot Trial

This research is being done to determine if a procedure done by the anesthesiologist, known as a paravertebral block, can decrease the chance of developing atrial fibrillation after surgery. The block consists of using a numbing medication delivered over time through two small tubes to specific spots on the upper back. There is evidence that this helps reduce the chance of atrial fibrillation after similar procedures and the potential complications of that condition.

Wearable sensors for the combined use of early detection of postural instability and fall risk prediction in Parkinson s disease patients

Balance and walking problems in patients with Parkinson’s Disease do not respond well to the typical medication or surgical treatments. This research study uses five small wearable devices that attach to clothing and can measure the body’s location while performing walking tests, balance tests, and normal daily activities. By comparing patients with Parkinson’s Disease to people of similar age without Parkinson’s Disease, we hope to learn important differences relevant to the walking and balance problems in Parkinson’s Disease

Surgical Timing and Rehabilitation for Multiple Ligament Knee Injuries: A Multicenter Integrated Clinical Trial (Protocol # PRO16090503)

This study is being conducted to determine when is the best time to do surgery is and when to start rehabilitation after surgery for the treatment of a multiple ligament knee injury. The study will randomize (i.e. a coin toss) when you have surgery and when you begin rehabilitation (early or delayed surgery and early or delayed rehabilitation). The type of surgery is decided between you and your surgeon. Rehabilitation is tailored to the type of surgery you have. You will fill out some questionnaires and have your knee examined at your normal postsurgery appointments with your surgeon.

Characterization of spleen motion and anatomy using imaging and sensors

This research is being performed to examine how the spleen moves during breathing in various body positions and breathing conditions. Physical measurements of the participant's body will be recorded (weight, height, and body dimensions) and then noninvasive recordings of the spleen and breathing patterns will be recorded. The spleen motion will be measured using standard abdominal ultrasound imaging, and breathing will be measured with accelerometers (small devices about the size of a quarter that measure the movement of the chest during breathing).
