This research study aims to better understand how the immune system functions in human diseases such as cancer and chronic inflammation. We will collect small amounts of tissue that are already being removed during routine surgeries, such as liver transplants or colorectal cancer resections. These tissues would otherwise be discarded. By studying immune cells and molecules within these samples, our team hopes to uncover how inflammation and immune signaling contribute to disease progression. The ultimate goal is to identify new ways to diagnose, monitor, or treat these conditions in the future. Participation does not involve any extra procedures or risk beyond the surgery already being performed.
This study is the first time the drug PF-07868489 will be tested in humans. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and how the body reacts to it. In the first part, healthy adults will receive a single dose to check for any side effects and how the drug moves through the body. In the second part, patients with a specific lung condition called Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) will receive multiple doses to see if the drug helps their condition and to further check its safety and effects.
We will evaluate the ability of a technology-based intervention E-Care to improve communication of information about breast cancer risk and improve discussion about breast cancer screening in the primary care setting. Women ages 25-75 seen by their primary care clinician are potentially eligible to participate. Study activities include completion of a health questionnaire, reviewing a video on breast cancer screening, completion of a post-visit survey, and potential opportunity for a brief interview.
The study is a 48-week clinical study to compare study medication NTX-001 used intraoperatively to promote nerve regeneration compared to the standard of care on surgery for acute nerve damage in the hand on subjects between the ages of 18 to 80 years old. Subjects who present with sever nerve damage of the hand and need surgery to repair the nerve damage within 48 hours of injury. After surgery, subjects will complete 12 total study visits: 6 in person and 6 additional telehealth visits. During the in-person clinic visits, subjects will be assessed by physical examinations, vital signs, safety laboratory assessment and complete questionnaires. Subjects with motor/mixed motor injury will also complete an EMG and NCV assessments with an Occupational Therapist at 2 of the in-person visits. During the telehealth visits, subjects will complete questionnaires.
The purpose of the study is to help to develop a new test that may help with early colorectal cancer detection. This will be done by collecting a blood sample, a stool sample, and other sample types, and comparing the results to hopefully identify a biomarker that can detect cancer more easily than current standards.

This study aims to study the natural progression of P-SYN quantification by conducting skin biopsies in patients with Parkinson's Disease (PD) and REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD). Participation will be over an 18-month period and will include skin biopsies and clinical examinations every six months. Subjects will be male or female between the ages of 50-100 and have a diagnosis of PD or RBD.
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) delivered via tele-health for young children with disruptive behavior problems who are at risk for life stressors. Participants will go through a screening to determine eligibility. Once screening is complete, eligible families who choose to participate will complete questionnaires, 3 virtual visits, and will receive 10 tele-health therapy sessions, at no cost. Families will be compensated for their time.
El propósito de este estudio de investigación es evaluar la Terapia de la Interacción Padre-Hijo (PCIT, por sus siglas en inglés) mediante telesalud para niños pequeños con dificultades de comportamiento que están en riesgo de factores de estrés en la vida. Los participantes pasarán un cernimiento para determinar su elegibilidad. Una vez que se complete, las familias elegibles que decidan participar completarán cuestionarios, 3 visitas virtuales y recibirán 10 sesiones de terapia por telesalud, que serán gratuitas. Las familias recibirán compensación por su tiempo.
