Using a Health Disparity Research Framework to examine mechanisms linking Obstructive Sleep Apnea with higher Alzheimer s disease risk in older Blacks/African-Americans
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether older African Americans with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) have a higher risk for Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) in comparison to older non-Hispanic Whites. African-Americans (blacks) have twice the risk of developing AD compared to non-Hispanic whites (whites), due in part to the higher prevalence of vascular risk factors such as diabetes and hypertension. Additionally, blacks have a higher prevalence of OSA with excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS). This study aims to determine if OSA is associated with neurodegeneration and higher amounts of tau protein in the brain (a biomarker of AD) in older African Americans.
Using Patient Data to Transform Care and Improve Outcomes for Children Adolescents and Young Adults with Inflammatory Bowel Disease.
The main reason for this research study is to improve the care and health of children, adolescents and young adults with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, also called Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). By sharing information about all of the patients and all of the doctors, ImproveCareNow doctors are able to learn how to provide better care and achieve better health for all of the patients so that everyone can benefit. Many of the doctors who are part of ImproveCareNow are also interested in using the information for research purposes. The research would study things such as evaluating current IBD medications to determine which ones work best, and to develop better recommendations for the care of patients with Crohn’s Disease or ulcerative colitis.
Utility of ImmuKnow an Immune Cell Function Assay in a Cardiac Sarcoid Population
The purpose of this study is to assess whether the results of an immune cell function blood test, ImmuKnow can be used to predict responses to immunotherapy for patients undergoing treatment for cardiac sarcoidosis. Blood samples will be collected amd used for research on patients with cardiac sarcoidosis.
Utility of Remote Home Monitoring Post Valvular Procedures
Valvular ProceduresThe purpose of this research study is to see whether providing patients with telehealth monitoring can reduce hospital readmission up to 90 days after discharge from a TAVR procedure. Telemonitoring is a form of disease management in which patients are given equipment to obtain medical recordings such as blood pressure, heart rate, pulse oximeter, and weight while at home. These recordings allow clinicians to observe patients remotely. This remote monitoring enables the clinical team to monitor patients more closely and potentially prevent and treat any complications as soon as they arise.
