Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic inflammatory condition of the esophagus that can lead to remodeling and stricture formation. To assess response to therapy, upper endoscopy (EGD) with biopsies is performed. This can lead to multiple EGDs, which are invasive and costly. There is currently a substantial unmet need for …
The purpose of the HepQuant SHUNT study is to validate the Disease Severity Index (DSI) from the HepQuant SHUNT Test for likelihood of large esophageal varices by comparing the SHUNT test to the current standard of care, EGD, in patients with chronic liver disease.
The purpose of this study is to determine if a particular Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) called Diffusion Weighted (dwMRI)) will detect changes in your tumor before and during treatment with chemotherapy and radiation for esophageal cancer. We used the dwMRI because it has been used in other types of cancers …
This is a small scale pilot study to evaluate if esophageal cooling using the Attune Medical Esophageal Heat Transfer Device (EnsoETM) limits the frequency or severity of thermal injury during catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation. This prospective, randomized study will include 40 patients with symptomatic AF undergoing index PVI at …
The purpose of this study is to understand the relationship between obesity and obstructive sleep apnea. Obstructive sleep apnea typically causes daytime sleepiness and fragmented (broken up) sleep. Obesity is thought to be the most important risk factor for sleep apnea, yet we currently do not understand how obesity increases …
