Summary

This study aims to determine if photo biostimulation with Nd-YAG laser improves wound healing following tooth extraction and alveolar ridge preservation. The impact of laser treatment on wound healing will be evaluated by levels of salivary inflammatory biomarkers, gingival wound size, and surveying for pain reduction and patient satisfaction. The intervention group will receive standard-of-care extraction and alveolar ridge preservation with adjunct Nd-YAG laser photobiostimulation on days 1, 3, and 7, while the control group will receive the standard-of-care extraction and alveolar ridge preservation only.

Emotional Impact on Mothers of Children with Mitochondrial Diseases: Guilt, Worry, and Uncertainty About the Future

Allison Davis

Keywords

Summary

The purpose of this research is to assess the emotional impact on mothers of children with mitochondrial disease (MD). This study plans to compare survey responses between mothers of children with MD caused by mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variants, which are exclusively maternally inherited, and nuclear DNA variants (nDNA), which can be inherited from either parent or new in the individual (de novo). This survey also plans to assess the impact on future reproductive decisions due to the fact that reliable preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) for mtDNA variants is lacking and the transmission of mtDNA variants from mother to child is hard to predict.

Summary

This study is being conducted at approximately 150 research centers worldwide and is expected to enroll approximately 675 pediatric subjects in total with moderately to severely AD. This study will have 2 cohorts, a Randomized Cohort, and a Dupilumab-Inadequate Responder / Dupilumab Medically Inadvisable Cohort. The study comprises a 35-day Screening Period; a 16-week, open-label, efficacy assessor blinded study treatment period for the subjects in the randomized cohort; an open-label period up to Week 160 for subjects in the upadacitinib study treatment arms across both cohorts (Randomized Cohort and Dupi-IR/Dupilumab Medically Inadvisable Cohort); an open label period up to Week 52 for subjects in the dupilumab arm; and a 30-day Follow up Visit/call after the last dose is administered for upadacitinib or dupilumab.

Adapting and Piloting the Managing Emotions to Reduce Alcohol-Facilitated Aggression (MERA-A) Intervention among Veterans

Researcher
Julianne Flanagan

Keywords
Alcohol
Summary

Rates of heavy episodic drinking (HED) among military veterans are almost double that of the general population. Veterans also experience more serious negative health consequences of HED, including high-risk behaviors such as aggression. Research shows there is a link between HED and aggression. However, no programs exist to reduce alcohol-related aggression among veterans. The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility and acceptability of adapting a current therapy - Managing Emotions to Reduce Aggression (MERA) - to include alcohol-focused Motivational Interviewing plus Feedback (MIF). We will use a brief, four session protocol that includes an hour of talk therapy, plus completion of surveys at each of the four sessions.

Testing a Strategy to Improve Diagnostic and Treatment Pathways for Children with Sleep-Disordered Breathing: the REPOSE Navigation Intervention

Date Added

Researcher
Phayvanh Pecha

Keywords
Pediatrics, Sleep Disorders
Summary

This research study aims to compare usual care with a patient navigation intervention for children with sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). SDB is a range of symptoms from snoring to severe obstructive sleep apnea. In the REPOSE intervention, a centralized patient navigator will find out the dynamic individual barriers that families face in caring for their child with SDB. They will also provide resources and social support for parent-child dyads. In addition, the navigator facilitates bidirectional SDB care coordination between clinical teams and parents to achieve evidence-based care. The patient navigation intervention group will be compared to the group of children receiving standard of care.
