Surveillance and Treatment to Prevent Fetal Atrioventricular Block Likely to Occur Quickly
Fetal complete (i.e., third degree) atrioventricular block (AVB), identified in the 2nd trimester of pregnancy in an otherwise normally developing heart, is almost universally associated with maternal anti-Ro autoantibodies and results in death in a fifth of cases. To date no treatment of 3° AVB has been effective, which may be because current surveillance is limited to once- weekly fetal echocardiograms. This study has three purposes. The first is to find out if you have a high level of these anti-Ro/SSA antibodies in your blood which puts you at greater risk of having a baby with a heart problem. The second purpose is to find out if listening to your fetus’s heartbeat using a small Doppler device 3x/day at your home, can identify an abnormal fetal heartbeat ( a slow heart rate or an irregular heart rhythm). The third purpose is to find out if urgent treatment of an abnormal fetal heartbeat can restore normal rhythm, if this abnormal heart- beat is found to be 2° heart block.

Survey to assess preference for colon cancer screening test
In the U.S., adherence to CRC screening varies from 30% to 80%. Patients who do not screen mention unpleasantness of fecal sampling, cost concerns, concerns that mailed tests could be mixed up, difficulty with bowel preparation and anticipation of pain during colonoscopy. In previous studies, patients expressed their preference for blood test options for CRC screening. Blood based tests are being developed for the screening and identification of colorectal cancer. This poses a new option as a less invasive screening option for patients which has the unique capacity to increase population based screening. In the context of improving noninvasive options for CRC screening, but simultaneously recognizing the poor uptake and adherence to current screening tests, it is imperative to understand patients’ preference for CRC screening testing in regards to convenience and comfort. We aim to determine the test of preference for CRC screening when comparing colonoscopy, blood-based test, and feces-based test options among average risk individuals ages 45-75. Through the survey, we also aim to understand the effect of age, gender, ethnicity, race, education level, employment status, socioeconomic status, and prior experience with screening on preference decisions.
