This observational, multi-center cohort study of pediatric cardiac arrest management will contribute to a clinical CPR Learning Laboratory. The objectives of this study are to characterize the quality of CPR and post-cardiac arrest care delivered to children across a broad spectrum of hospitals, to determine the association between quantitative CPR quality measures (depth, rate, compression release, flow fraction) and survival to hospital discharge, and to determine the association of survival with site-specific post-cardiac arrest care (PCAC). The study will enroll pediatric cardiac arrests requiring chest compressions for ≥1 minute identified as part of standard clinical operations. The CPR quantitative measures, defibrillator data (when available), monitor data (when available), and post-arrest care will be de-identified and submitted to a central database.

This study will include volunteers diagnosed with a form of heart failure that is characterized by a weakened heart muscle that appears to be pumping in a normal manner. This condition is called "heart failure with preserved ejection fraction" or HFpEF. For these individuals, it has been determined that the health problems and symptoms experienced may be due to a significant increase in the pressure of one of the chambers of the heart. This pressure build-up causes a variety of symptoms, including tiredness, difficulty breathing, and reduced ability to exercise/walk.

This study is to help evaluate a new device (the "Satera Ablation System") designed to reduce the build-up of pressure described above. The Satera Ablation system is a catheter used to ablate or destroy the splanchnic nerve on one side of the body. The Sponsor believes by destroying this nerve there may be some reduction in the symptoms caused by HFpEF. The procedure using the Satera Ablation System will be performed in the catheterization lab and does not involve surgery. Participants will stay overnight in the hospital following the procedure for observation.

The length of subject participation in the study will be approximately 24 months and includes 5 office visits, 1 phone call and 2 procedures. Participants in this research study will be randomized to either the treatment group or the control group and have a 2:1 chance of receiving the research treatment with the Satera Ablation System at the time of randomization.

This study will help us learn more about how safe and effective the Satera Ablation System is in treating the symptoms of patients with HFpEF.

This is a study looking at the effects of Belimumab, a medication approved by the FDA to treat lupus, in people who have been recently diagnosed with lupus. It proposes that the early use of Belimumab may prevent long-term tissue damage from the disease. The study will last 2 years with clinic visits every 4 weeks.

This study is being done on patients who have heart failure, a condition where the heart muscle weakens and enlarges and cannot pump blood effectively. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of a new device called the AccuCinch Ventricular Restoration System and compare it to treatment with standard heart failure medications alone. The AccuCinch Ventricular Restoration System consists of anchors, which attach to your heart muscle, sliders to connect the anchors and a thread like cord that goes through the anchors and is cinched to make your enlarged heart smaller so it can pump more efficiently. The device is implanted in one of the lower pumping chambers of the heart (called left ventricle). The study will have two groups, the treatment group in which participants undergo the device implant in addition to taking heart failure medications and the control group in which participants are treated with heart failure medications alone. Participation will last up to 5 years.

This is a study to find out if a device that temporarily alters brain activity (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, rTMS) might be used to change how people with anxiety or related concerns cope with emotional situations. The study is recruiting people who recently started treatment for anxiety or a related concern. The study involves 3 visits to MUSC. At the first visit, participants do interviews and surveys asking about anxiety and related concerns, and they also do tasks where they see and react to emotional pictures while their brain activation is measured. At the next two visits, participants receive rTMS that uses a magnet placed on top of the head to alter brain activity temporarily (for about an hour). After rTMS, participants do two tasks where they see and react to emotional situations while wearing sensors on their hand, arms, face, and head.

Each visit in this study is expected to last between 2 – 3 hours. This study is not a treatment study, but it could help improve treatment in the future. Participants in this study are paid for their time.

Stroke is a leading cause of disability in the U.S. and many Veteran stroke survivors live with severe disability. Despite recent advances in rehabilitation treatments many stroke survivors have persistent physical and mental difficulties such as reduced arm and leg function, difficulty thinking, and depression.
Developing treatments that address these problems is necessary to improve long-term recovery for stroke survivors. Aerobic exercise (AEx) can improve physical and mental function, and reduce depression. Additionally, AEx may enhance physical rehabilitation by making the brain more receptive to, and consequently improving the response to a rehabilitation treatment. Therefore, combining AEx with physical rehabilitation has the potential to improve multiple parts of stroke recovery. This study will examine the effect of combining AEx with physical rehabilitation on physical and mental function in stroke survivors. By gaining a better understanding of the effects of this combined intervention we aim to advance the rehabilitative care of Veteran stroke survivors.

This study is for patients who have been diagnosed with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) that has returned (recurrent) or spread after previous treatment (metastatic). The investigational drug in this study is lenvatinib. The study will also use lenvatinib in combination with pembrolizumab, which is also experimental. The purposes of this study are to: test the safety of the study drugs, lenvatinib alone, pembro and lenvatinib together, and standard chemotherapies alone in the treatment of HNSCC; see how well the combination of pembro and lenvatinib works, compared to standard chemotherapies; and see if participants who get pembro and lenvatinib live longer than those who are treated with standard chemotherapies. Participants can expect to be on this study for about 48 months.

This study is for patients who have low risk breast cancer as indicated by their Oncotype DX Recurrence Score. The purpose of this study is to compare any good and bad effects of not giving regional radiotherapy to using regional radiotherapy.

This study is for patients that have newly diagnosed High-Risk B-ALL, Risk-Adapted Post-Induction therapy for High-Risk B-ALL, Mixed Phenotype Acute Leukemia, and Disseminated B-LLy. The treatment involves medicine called chemotherapy, which fights cancer. Some patients may also need radiation therapy depending on whether the cancer has spread to the brain and spinal fluid, or the testes for males. The investigational drug on this study is inotuzumab ozogamicin. Participants can expect to be on this study for a little over 2 years and followed for up to 10 years.

This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with advanced or resistant skin cancer (melanoma), non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC), non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), certain types of solid tumors, or bladder cancer (UBC). The investigational drug in this study is RP1. RP1 is a herpes simplex virus (a microscopic life form commonly known as the "cold sore virus") that has been genetically changed to grow in and destroy cancer cells. This treatment will be injected directly into tumors. The purpose of this study is to test the safety and how well RP1 works when it is injected into certain types of solid tumors in combination with another cancer drug, called nivolumab. Participants can expect to be in this study for about 2 to 3 years.
