Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome in Children
The purpose of this research is to collect data that the researchers hope will help understand Wolff-ParkinsonWhite Syndrome (WPWS). he overarching goal is to provide information about the outcomes of children with symptomatic and asymptomatic WPW and to improve the risk assessment using clinical and EPS data. This will be a 10-year-long observational, multicenter, multinational database. Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (WPW) is a condition which causes a heart rhythm abnormality. In most hearts, there is a single electrical pathway that causing heart to beat. People with WPW have an extra electrical pathway between the heart's upper chambers (atria) and lower chambers (ventricles), causing the ventricles to contract early and resulting in a rapid heartbeat (tachycardia). Many individuals with WPW don't have any symptoms (asymptomatic), while others experience symptoms such as hard or irregular heartbeats (palpitations), dizziness, shortness of breath, and sometimes fainting. Rarely, WPW can cause more life-threatening arrhythmias or sudden death.

World Trade Center Particulate Matter Induced Cardiorespiratory and Vascular Dysfunction: a MultiOmic Approach
NYU Langone School of Medicine is doing a research study to test a specific way of helping patients with World Trade Center-associated cardiorespiratory and vascular disease (WTC-CaRVD). The study will be conducted in WTC exposed firefighters who have experienced cardiovascular, respiratory and or vascular difficulties after 9/11/2001. The purpose of this study is to study biomarkers which may relate to the function of the body’s cells and may be important to the development of WTC-CaRVD.

WUH: Characterization of microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) in metabolic and gastrointestinal tissue in obese and other subjects undergoing therapeutic surgeries.
Microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) is an enzyme that is responsible for fat and cholesterol metabolism. Blocking the effect of MTP may be helpful in decreasing heart disease risk. However, it is unknown how much MTP may contribute to obesity. The purpose of this study is to study the effect of how weight may affect MTP and related molecules in different tissue types. This study will collect samples of pancreas, liver, adipose (fat) (deep and superficial), blood, blood vessel tissue, cardiac (heart) tissue, pericardial (membrane surrounding heart) tissue, and gastrointestinal tissue from people undergo an intra-abdominal or intra- thoracic surgery or undergoing an endoscopic procedure.
WUH: Effect of storage on breast milk cytokines in premature infants in the first 4 weeks after birth
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of storage of freshly expressed breast milk at different temperatures (Room air, 4°C, -20°C) on various immune mediators such as cytokine and exosome levels at different stages of breast milk maturation from week 1 to 4 at different gestational ages
WUH: Impact of medical and surgical weight loss on lipocalin prostaglandin D2 synthase (LPGDS) and bile acid levels.
Obesity and type 2 diabetes are medical conditions that are associated with significant health risks. These include stroke, heart disease, and kidney disease. Medical research has been attempting to identify new ways to treat both of these diseases. What clinicians have recently noticed, is the impact of a low calorie diet and weight loss surgery appears to have a profound beneficial role on both obesity and type 2 diabetes. However, the mechanism of how this is achieved remains unclear. This study will attempt to study various proteins and hormone levels that may become altered with dietary restriction and weight loss surgery. Specifically, the research laboratory has studied and identified a protein known as “Lipocalin Prostaglandin D2 Synthase.” It appears to be associated with both obesity and type 2 diabetes. This protein and various others will be examined to better understand their biologic roles.
