Predicting Tumor Metastasis by Employing a Target Organ/Primary Lesion Fusion Radiomics Model
A pre-metastatic target organ/primary lesion fusion radiomics model was developed based on the "soil-seed" theory to predict comman tumor metastasis in retrospective settings. To prospectively verify the performance of the target organ/primary lesion fusion radiomics model in predicting tumor metastasis patterns (brain metastasis in lung cancer, liver metastasis in colorectal …
3D-MRE and 2D-MRE for Assessing Cirrhosis and Portal Hypertension
How to construct a novel, non-invasive, accurate, and convenient method to achieve prediction of hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) is an important general problem in the management of portal hypertension in cirrhosis. We plan to compare the ability of three demensional-magnetic resonance elastography (3D-MRE) to two demensional-magnetic resonance elastography (2D-MRE) …
Can Medical Cannabis Affect Opioid Use?
The goal of this observational study is to learn how medical cannabis (MC) affects pain and the use of opioid pain medications. Participants who have chronic pain and use prescribed opioid pain medication will opt-in to using MC or not for the 3-month study. Participants who are certified in Pennsylvania …
Resting State Functional Connectivity in Cluster Headache
Cluster headache is a highly disabling primary headache disorder, characterized by severe, excruciating, recurrent unilateral headache attacks. Typically, attacks' onset displays a circadian rhythm, and bout recurrence happens in a circannual fashion. Notably, the mechanisms underlying the shift between the remission phase and cluster bout are poorly understood. Thus, the …
To Investigate the Effect of 2019 Novel Coronavirus Infection on the Condition of Patients With Hyperthyroidism
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the correlation between COVID-19 and hyperthyroidism in Patients with hyperthyroidism complicated with COVID-19. The main questions it aims to answer are? Changes of hyperthyroidism in HT patients complicated with COVID-19 Changes of anxiety and depression in hyperthyroidism patients before and …
An Observational Study on the Quality of Life After Precise Lung Resection Through the Periareolar Incision
With the rapid development of video-assisted thoracoscopic technology, minimally invasive surgery has become the mainstream surgical approach and is widely known to the public. In addition to the pursuit of successful resection, patients seek an improvement in quality of life after surgery, which poses a challenge to surgeons. The surgical …
Effect of Genetic Polymorphisms on the Clinical Response to SGLT2 Inhibitors in Heart Failure Patients
Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have shown further reductions in heart failure hospitalization, cardiovascular events, and mortality, especially for heart failure patients. The SGLT2 gene, also known as SLC5A2 (solute carrier family 5 member 2), is located on chromosome 16 and is responsible for encoding SGLT2. Several SLC5A2 mutations alter …
Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease (CMT) Biological Sample Collection for iPSC Generation and Biobanking
The New York Stem Cell Foundation (NYSCF) Research Institute is performing this research to accelerate Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease research and drug development by using cells from the body (such as skin or blood cells) to make stem cells and other types of cells, conduct research on the samples, perform genetic testing, …
Prospective Multicentre Study on Symptoms in First-onset Bronchial Asthma in Children and Adolescents
Bronchial asthma may present with symptoms other than the commonly reported complaints (cough, chest tightness, shortness of breath and wheezing). Less common symptoms include chronic or recurrent productive cough, inspiratory dyspnoea or recurrent pneumonia. Children presenting with these symptoms are often diagnosed with asthma bronchiale and benefit from antiasthmatic management.
Quality of Life in Normogonadotropic Anovulation
Among the causes of ovulation disorders (group II of anovulation according to the World Health Organization classification), the dominant one is polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and the remaining cases are classified as Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Ovarian Axis Dysfunction (HPOD). The exact etiology of both entities is unknown. To diagnose PCOS, the Rotterdam criteria …
