The purpose of this project is to identify the postoperative alignment of toric intraocular lenses (IOLs) in patients who have undergone cataract surgery.
The purpose of this research study is to continue to test how well the Endospan NEXUSTM Aortic Arch Stent Graft System performs in the treatment of a diseased aortic arch. The aortic arch is the top part of the main large vessel that carries blood away from the heart. A stent graft is a self-expanding frame that is covered with a material intended to seal the vessel walls.
The NEXUS Aortic Arch Stent Graft System is delivered to the diseased area of your aorta by traveling through your vascular system using fluoroscopic guidance (x-ray pictures), starting with a small incision or needle puncture near your groin (inner thigh). The NEXUS Aortic Arch Stent Graft System is being studied and is not approved by the FDA which means it is investigational in this study. The NEXUS Aortic Arch Stent Graft System has CE Mark which means it is approved for use in Europe. The NEXUS Aortic Arch Stent Graft System is only available through the clinical study in the United States.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the study drug ZILRETTA (Triamcinolone Acetonide, extended release) compared to a placebo (saline solution) and the current treatment of TCA-IR (Triamcinolone Acetonide, immediate release). The study drug is administered through an ultrasound-guided injection to the affected shoulder. Forty percent of subjects will receive Zilretta, forty percent will receive TCA-IR and twenty percent will receive placebo.
The study Drug ZILRETTA, is currently FDA-approved for knee osteoarthritis and is being investigated in this study for treatment of shoulder osteoarthritis. The study population consists of adults 50-85 years of age, BMI under 40, who have been diagnosed with Osteoarthritis of the shoulder by x-ray and has had pain for over 15 days out of the past month. The study has 10 study visits over 24-week's and will include, but is not limited to a questionnaire, medical examination, shoulder x-ray and blood draws. Each visit should last less than 1 hour, depending on the procedures performed. The most common side effects of the study drug are joint pain, headaches, upper respiratory infections, back pain, joint swelling, and cold symptoms.
