This study will enroll patients and collect blood samples from those who are either in lung cancer screening, have a lung nodule that is suspicious for malignancy, a newly diagnosed cancer, or healthy control subjects. These samples that are being collected and banked will be used for future development of blood tests to detect lung cancer in future patients at the earliest stages.

This study is enrolling subjects with tricuspid regurgitation, which is what occurs when the tricuspid heart valve on the right side of the heart does not close properly and blood leaks backwards. Over time this can lead to symptoms like shortness of breath and fluid build up in the legs, abdomen, and lungs. This study involves a new investigational device called the TricValve® Transcatheter Bicaval Valve system to treat the leaky valve. Investigational means it is not approved for commercial use by the Food and Drug Administration. (FDA) This study will last about 5 years and include about 11 visits. Study related procedures include physical exams, right heart catheterization (an invasive procedure to check pressures inside the heart), echocardiograms (ultrasound test of the heart), CT scan, blood work, questionnaires, hall walk test and procedure to place the device. Risks include those related to the device and procedure such as infection, failure of the device, worsening of your symptoms or other cardiac complications. There are also risks associated with study testing such as radiation risks, blood draw risks, loss of confidentiality and unknown risks. There is potential benefit to you and to others in the future from what is learned from this study.

Examine current real-world utilization of mcfDNA using a multi-center retrospective registry. To achieve this aim, we will utilize a multi-center REDCap database to examine and summarize patient demographics and types of transplants where mcfDNA was used. We will classify cases based on common syndromes/indications for which mcfDNA is sent, timing of the test, and clinically relevant microbiologic yield of mcfDNA results.

Identify clinical predictors where mcfDNA outperforms CMT. We will analyze specific clinical syndromes where mcfDNA has higher yield compared to CMT including pneumonia, visceral abscesses, CNS infections, etc. We will also
identify specific pathogens that are more likely to be detected by mcfDNA earlier in the clinical course such as bartonella, syphilis, parasitic infections, and other atypical bacteria, mycobacteria, and fungi.

Analyze clinical impact of mcfDNA to assess whether the use of the test had a positive vs. negative vs. neutral impact on patient care using pre-specified definitions. Additionally, we will perform clinical adjudication of positive and
negative mcfDNA cases using standardized criteria and analyze effect of timing of test ordering on clinical impact.

This study aims to develop a new blood test to detect and identify many different types of cancer, using a special technique that looks at tiny changes in your DNA. Some participants will be followed over time to see if this method can also find leftover cancer cells (after treatment), and if it could warn if the cancer comes back. However, this test still under development, so there are no results reported back to participants. The goal is to create a reliable tool that one day could help doctors diagnose and monitor cancer(s) more effectively.

This is a non-invasive, observational study aiming to collect data on the impact chest tubes have on inpatients during their hospitalizations. Sleep and activity patterns, as well as select vital signs will be tracked using an MUSC-owned Apple Watch, which subjects will wear, and an MUSC-owned iPhone, for up to seven days during admission to the hospital. Each day, a study coordinator will visit subjects to collect a brief sleep survey. Participation may last up to 7 days while subjects are admitted and have a chest tube in place. Upon completion of the study, a study coordinator will collect the Apple Watch and iPhone for data analysis.

This pilot data will provide initial information on the feasibility of collecting and performing a larger study on the inpatient mobility, activity, and sleep.
