This study is enrolling subjects who are undergoing a planned radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) to treat ventricular tachycardia (VT). VT is a type of irregular heart rhythm originating from the lower chambers of the heart and is commonly treated with RFCA. During a catheter ablation procedure, flexible tubes are guided through blood vessels in your heart where the location of the source of your abnormal arrhythmia is identified. One of the flexible catheters, called an ablation catheter, is then used to deliver energy from its tip to burn the areas of abnormal tissue within the scar which may be causing the ventricular tachycardias. The ablation procedure utilized in this study will be guided by an Ablation Index; a formula developed to assist physicians performing ablation procedures to guide the duration of applications of radiofrequency energy delivery. Participants will be randomized into the control group, where the study doctor will utilize traditional, non-AI guided ablation, or the intervention group, where the study doctor will utilize AI-guided ablation.
This study will last up to 1 year post-ablation procedure for participants and will include up to 4 visits (ablation procedure and 3 follow-up standard of care follow-up visits). Study procedures include the initial, planned ablation procedure, and collection of medical history and images.
The proposed research will qualitatively examine adolescent perspectives on adapting Written Exposure Therapy (WET), an evidence-based treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among adults, for use with adolescents. The present study will take the first step in adapting WET for adolescents by conducting interviews with adolescents with PTSD. Interview questions will focus on identifying perceptions of WET and recommendations for adapting WET for the needs of adolescents. A brief survey will also be conducted. Participation in the interview and survey will involve a one-time study visit that lasts up to 60 minutes and can be conducted in person or virtually. Adolescent participants need be accompanied by a caregiver either in person or virtually.
An international research registry called the CorEvitas International Adolescent Atopic Dermatitis (AD) Registry (the "CorEvitas Registry"). This observational registry studies adolescent patients with AA between 12-17 years of age under the care of a dermatology provider diagnosed with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis.
This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with ovarian cancer who are taking bevacizumab. This study is testing two investigational drugs called nelfinavir and hydroxychloroquine. "Investigational" means it has not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of cancer. The primary purpose of this study is to see if these two medications in combination with bevacizumab are safe and effective in ovarian cancer. These drugs will be given by mouth. Participants in this study can expect to be in this study for 6 months for data collection, but may continue on the study medications longer if seeing benefit.
The primary objective of this proposal is to conduct surveys and qualitative interviews to get feedback from (1) stakeholders and (2) people with lived experience of opioid use and a related medical hospitalization, on the barriers and facilitators of new potential strategy of treatment. The potential proposed intervention we will ask questions about is the direct mailing medications for opioid use disorder (OUD) in an attempt to overcome many of the barriers that interfere with treatment retention (i.e. transportation). Qualitative interviews will be used to get feedback on the feasibility, appropriateness, and acceptability of mailing maintenance medications for OUD after a hospital discharge. In a future study, this feedback will be used to develop a protocol to test this method.
The purpose of this study is to compare the usual treatment alone to the usual treatment plus nivolumab. This study seeks to find if this approach is better or worse than standard of care for colon cancer. Treatment and follow up for this study may be up to 3 years. The procedures include CT or MRI scans and chemotherapy. Risks include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, hair loss, anemia, sores in mouth, and muscle weakness. You may or may not receive a direct benefit from participating in this trial, however, information learned from the trial may help other people in the future.
The objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the BrioVAD System by demonstrating non-inferiority to the HeartMate 3™ (HM3) LVAS (Abbott) when used for the treatment of advanced, refractory, left ventricular heart failure.
This study is looking for participants who have had a stroke for the first time and have also had weakness (known as "paresis") in their arms or legs. People who have weakness in their arms or legs after their stroke are at risk of developing spasticity. Spasticity is a condition where muscles stiffen or tighten involuntarily, preventing normal movement, and sometimes causing discomfort or pain.
This study is looking at the proportion of first-ever stroke participants with paresis who develop spasticity up to 12 months after their stroke. We would like to do this by contacting you regularly to see whether you have developed spasticity. The study period for each individual participant will vary depending on whether and when spasticity or problematic spasticity develops.
This study is enrolling participants who completed the FARAPULSE ADVENT study and are now nearing the 3 year post atrial fibrillation ablation timepoint. Atrial fibrillation is an irregular heart rhythm caused by electrical signals misfiring. An ablation is a procedure in which those signals are targeted and destroyed to stop the atrial fibrillation. This study will consist of reviewing and collecting medical records since the ablation procedure as well as optional questionnaires and wearing a heart monitor for 7 days to capture the heart's electrical activity. There are no study related follow up visits. Study related risks include loss of confidentiality and possible skin reaction to the electrodes (sticky patches placed on the chest to detect the heart's electrical activity). Individual benefit is not expected but the information learned may contribute to knowledge in this field.
This is a double blind randomized controlled trial designed to test the effects of intravenous acetaminophen (IV-A) and/or intravenous ketorolac (IV-K) at reducing pain in children with acute respiratory failure (ARF) on invasive mechanical ventilation (MV). Consented participants will be randomized in equal proportions to receive IV-A, IV-K, both, or neither.
