The objective of this study is to obtain viable mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from umbilical cords in uncomplicated planned cesarean deliveries. Potential donors will be screened prior to donation of umbilical cords to confirm no infectious disease, viruses and/or diseases. The overall goal is to obtain MSCs from healthy donors for eventual transfusion into patients for potential treatment of diseases, such as chronic pancreatitis, systemic sclerosis, type 1 diabetes, COVID 19, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and other diseases in studies approved by the IRB. We also want to store the cells as repository for other potential therapy.
The Overcoming Cohort study is a studies looking for variations in DNA,for populations less than or 25 years of age, that either protect people from COVID-19 disease or make them more susceptible. The study will sequence patients' entire genome or the smaller group of genes that code for proteins (exome). The study would gain a better understanding of COVID-19 that would improve diagnostic, prevention, and treatment measures.
Underserved, racial and ethnic minority communities are experiencing higher rates of COVID-19 cases and associated mortality compared to whites due to long standing social and structural inequities that also drive disparities in chronic diseases such as stroke, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and hypertension. Patients with underlying chronic diseases who are recovering from COVID-19 depend on the support of family and friends (informal caregivers/care partners) who are being exposed to the same pandemic and racial stressors, exposure that can affect the health and quality of life of both partners. The primary goal of this study is to test the efficacy of an adapted, telehealth-enhanced intervention that targets barriers impacting family illness management behaviors of Black/African American (AA) adult COVID-19 survivors and carepartner dyads for improved quality of life and COVID/chronic illness health related outcomes.
This study will repurpose medications that have already been approved for use by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for other indications to treat non-hospitalized patients that are at least 30 years old with mild to moderate COVID-19. The effectiveness of reducing COVID-19 symptoms will be evaluated by comparing the medication to a placebo or fake treatment with no therapeutic value. Participation will last about 180-days and all study visits are designed to be performed over the phone or remotely. Participants will be compensated for their time and participation in this research study.

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected all persons, though disadvantaged populations such as persons living with HIV are likely to be disproportionally impacted by the physical, economic, and psychological toll of the global pandemic. This study aims to better understand how COVID-19 has impacted care for veterans living with HIV.
NeuroRx is a study of Inhaled RLF-100 for the treatment of severe COVID-19 without respiratory failure. The objective is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the inhaled RLF-100 in preventing progression from severe to critical covid-19. This is an inhaled treatment given three times daily for 7 days.
