This project develops a SmarToyGym where sensorized, wireless toys are placed within the reach of infants to elicit body, arm/hand and leg movements. The objective is to conduct pilot testing of the SmartToyGm with atypical and typical infants. A battery of metrics will be identified to discriminate between high and …
To extend the geographic reach of clinicians, from urban hospitals to distant clinics, and to increase the objectivity of diagnostics, when applied to pediatric patients with upper extremity impairments, we propose a series of tests to validate the need and methods for the Lil'Flo robotic system. Lil'Flo is comprised of …
This study is being performed to assess how certain chronic disabilities - stroke, UE amputation, SCI, CP - differ from healthy subjects in their ability to perform ADLs. By studying the kinematics of the respective cohort of study participants as they are assesed performing common ADLS, our research team aims …
The purpose of this research study is twofold: to study the role HIV has on the brain’s function and more particularly, the relationship between HIV and stroke; and to study how the presence of HIV effects robot-assisted rehabilitation after stroke, and its association with clinical improvement.
Veno-arterial (VA) extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is indicated as a haemodynamic rescue strategy in decompensated acute or chronic heart failure presenting as cardiogenic shock. VA ECMO has a number of effects on the circulation including (i) perfusing end-organs, (ii) ventricular unloading, and (iii) improved coronary perfusion. It is a bridge …
Since its emergence, SARS-Cov2 has rapidly and widely spread across the globe due to lack of prior protective immunity in the human species. With widespread mitigation measures, all efforts focused on generating effective vaccination strategies that will provide herd immunity and protect the most vulnerable populations. However, there is very …
The purpose of the study is to compare how amlodipine versus metoprolol effect blood pressure in people with HFpEF. While hypertension is the most common risk factor for HFpEF, there is little evidence on the potential role of common antihypertensive medications, specifically calcium channel blockers (like amlodipine) and β-blockers …
In the past, clinical trials on cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) have not used patient-reported outcome measures to evaluate treatment efficacy; however, recent studies with small numbers of patients with CLE have compared questionnaires before and after treatment. Overall, there is little data available on changes in patient-reported outcome measures in …
SGM-101 is a fluorochrome-labeled anti-carcino-embryonic antigen (CEA) monoclonal antibody. What this means is that part of SGM-101 is a chemical that is attracted to and will attach to the cells of your cancer. Another part of SGM-101 is a chemical that will glow when infrared light is shined on it. …
You are being asked to take part in this research study because you have ATTR amyloidosis with peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage that occurs in the extremities of the body and may cause pain, such as foot pain or hand pain). Transthyretin (TTR) is a naturally occurring protein. In ATTR amyloidosis, TTR …
