Apps | NYU Langone Health
NYU Langone Health has launched several mobile apps to improve access to patient care and to conduct research studies.
AREN2231: Risk Adapted Treatment of Unilateral Favorable Histology Wilms Tumors (FHWT)
This phase III trial studies using risk factors in determining treatment for children with favorable tissue (histology) Wilms tumors (FHWT). Wilms Tumor is the most common type of kidney cancer in children, and FHWT is the most common subtype. Previous large clinical trials have established treatment plans that are likely to cure most children with FHWT, however some children still have their cancer come back (called relapse) and not all survive. Previous research has identified features of FHWT that are associated with higher or lower risks of relapse. The term "risk" refers to the chance of the cancer coming back after treatment. Using results of tumor histology tests, biology tests, and response to therapy may be able to improve treatment for children with FHWT.

Assessing anxiety and other psychological variables with J-pouch and ileocolic resection colorectal surgery for IBD Patients
The purpose of this research study is to understand the psychological experiences of patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) who are undergoing surgery.
Assessing dysarthria severity before and after neurosurgical procedures: A prospective longitudinal study in patients with refractory movement disorders
Subjects undergoing the neurosurgical high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) procedure as part of their standard of care for Essential Tremor (ET) will perform three sessions of behavioral testing: visit 1 (before), visit 2 (six weeks post-surgery) and visit 3 (six months post-surgery). Each session comprises several tasks that assess voice and speech production. If a patient with ET decides to undergo a second (bilateral) surgery, the research team will approach them to repeat the three visits, for a total of up to six assessment visits for those undergoing both unilateral and bilateral procedures. Patients with Parkinson’s Disease (PD) undergoing Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery may also participate in the three visits for each surgery, but may also perform all voice and speech production tasks in stimulation ON/OFF conditions within one session (visit 3) for both unilateral and bilateral conditions as well. Healthy control subjects will complete all voice and speech tasks within one session (visit 1).
Assessment of Functional Recovery of Adults who Sustain Brachial Plexus Injuries
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the range of motion improvements of patients receiving surgical and nonsurgical treatment for proximal humerus fractures, brachial plexus injuries, or shoulder arthroscopy. To do this, we will use a depth ranging sensor-based motion analysis system (the “Reachable Workspace” system). This system tracks the movement of your arm with a Microsoft Kinect, and uses the information to calculate your range of motion. We will use this range of motion information to determine how well you are healing. This study has the potential to determine the clinical effectiveness of surgical versus nonsurgical treatment of adults with these conditions.
