This trial compares nephrectomy (surgery to remove a kidney or part of a kidney) with nivolumab to the usual approach of nephrectomy followed by standard post-operative follow-up and monitoring, in treating patients with kidney cancer that is limited to a certain part of the body (localized). Nivolumab is a drug …
The research study is being done to better understand how and why the airway collapses during sleep. We would like to find out what types of things (for example, air flow, air pressure, or face shape) affect if someone’s throat closes up during sleep and how well they do after …
The purpose of this research study is to learn more about how the brain stores and retrieves different kinds of information from memory, and whether brain stimulation can improve the storage and retrieval of memories. We are enrolling subjects with drug-resistant epilepsy, who are expected to undergo placement of electrodes …
1. To determine the feasibility of integrating a PGx panel test in the EMR with a pharmacist PGx e-consult. 2. Determine the fidelity to genotype-guided pharmacotherapy recommendations. 3. To determine if PGx testing will improve the patient self-reported numeric pain scores 4. To determine if PGx testing will reduce MME …
The purpose of this study is to test, in surgery patients and controls aged 18 to 65, whether measurable abnormalities found in pre-surgical MRI can predict surgical outcomes in epilepsy, to improve the understanding for the causes of surgical failure, and to pave the way for future use of neuroimaging …
The purpose of this protocol is to allow for intraoperative electrophysiological recording from patients already scheduled to undergo a craniotomy that will expose the cerebral cortex. During surgery, a recording array will be briefly placed on the surface of the brain and signals will be recorded while the patient is …
The goals of this study are to establish the efficacy of Hi-VNI in upper airway surgery from the anesthesiologists' and surgeons' perspectives, and to describe the ideal patient and the ideal pathology as well as suitable clinical scenarios when this oxygenation technique should be selected.
The goal of this prospective, non-randomized, single-arm study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of using ExAblate Model 4000 Type-2 Neuro-System as a tool to disrupt the blood brain barrier in a temporary and localized fashion in patients with suspected infiltrating glioma undergoing planned surgical interventions.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if closing off the left atrial appendage (LAA) of your heart (a small-sack like structure that is part of the upper chamber of the heart) during scheduled heart surgery with a surgical device known as the AtriClip, reduces the risk of a …
The research study is being conducted to test the study drug PB2452 to see if it is safe and will reverse the bleeding effects of Brilinta® (also known as ticagrelor). Candidates must be taking Brilinta® (ticagrelor) or show intake within the past 3 days. They will be considered for participation …
