Stephanie Gaydos

List of Studies

Keywords
Heart
Summary

The study is being done to test the use of a drug called bromocriptine for women who have a condition called Peripartum cardiomyopathy or PPCM. PPCM means you have a weak heart after giving birth. The study will look at how the heart muscle improves in women taking bromocriptine compared to a group of women given a placebo or inactive pill. Bromocriptine is approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat irregular periods and other symptoms that result from having high blood levels of a substance called prolactin. It is not approved for use in usual care to treat PPCM. The follow up period will be about 3 years. The study will have an initial visit and then the follow -up visits will take place at one, three, six, and 12 months in the first year and visits by phone at 24 months and 36 months.

Effects of Chronic Systolic Heart Failure on Skeletal Muscle Structure and Function in Patients Undergoing Heart Transplant or Left Ventricular Assist Device Placement

Summary

Patients with end stage heart failure (HF) exhibit abnormalities in their skeletal muscle, thought to be as a result of reduced blood flow to the muscle as their HF worsens. We will identify the relative nature of these changes by obtaining skeletal muscle biopsies in HF patients as well as healthy control subjects without HF. These biopsies will be from the right upper thigh as well as from the right calf muscle. We will compare these biopsies to identify if the changes we are seeing are in fact more severe in the calf compared to the thigh muscle.

Summary

Patients with chronic pancreatitis often suffer from severe abdominal pain that reduce their quality of life. The major purpose of this study is evaluate the safety and efficacy of an infusion of the patient's own stem cells to relieve chronic pain. The stem cells will be isolated from the patient's bone marrow and grown in the clean lab to be used for treatment. After infusion into the vein, the participant will be followed for 12 months to evaluate their pain and other outcomes.

Summary

In this research study, we are examining how brain activity (electrical and blood flow) changes during tests of emotional processing and attention and memory in the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner. We are also using non-invasive brain stimulation to probe different parts of the brain and measuring brain activity (electrical and blood flow) alongside evidence-based cognitive behavioural therapy. This study includes healthy and clinical participants and researchers hope this will help us develop improved brain-based treatments for emotional difficulties like depression.
