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 comprises three steps: 1) to screen for high titer anti-Ro antibodies, which are necessary but not sufficient to develop fetal AVB; 2) to empower mothers to identify 2° AVB by using fetal heart rate and rhythm monitoring (FHRM) at home, and 3) to rapidly treat mothers who detect an abnormality by monitoring with an urgent echocardiogram that confirms 2° AVB with the hope of reversing 2° AVB before it becomes permanent (3° AVB). In addition, it will be determined if FHRM reduces the need for weekly echoes. Although mothers with low titer anti-Ro will not be continued in Step 2 and therefore not followed by FHRM, birth ECGs will be collected to confirm that high titer antibodies confer risk.
Surveillance for Neurofibromatosis | NYU Langone Health
NYU Langone doctors may use surveillance, or monitoring, to help manage neurofibromatosis.
Survey to assess preference for colon cancer screening test
This survey-based study aims to understand patient preferences and decision making when choosing from colorectal cancer screening test options. Our aim is to understand patient preferences when it comes to blood-based testing, stool-based testing, and colonoscopy in order to help direct research efforts in the future.

Swallowing Disruptions after ACDF Surgery: The Novel Use of Acoustic Pharyngometry to Monitor Pharyngeal Edema
A particular challenge to understanding the prevalence and pathophysiology of dysphagia (swallowing impairment) post-ACDF is teasing apart a short-term impairment caused by post-surgical edema from a more serious long-term iatrogenic injury to the swallowing nerves and muscles that are at risk during the surgery. Our goal is to develop methods for capturing pharyngeal edema and to collect data to help determine which patients developing swallowing disorders post-ACDF and the mechanisms of the impairments. All consenting patients scheduled for ACDF with Dr. Frempong-Boadu in the Neurosurgery Department will complete a comprehensive dysphagia assessment battery both pre-ACDF surgery and again 6 weeks post-ACDF surgery. Measures include: Validated PRO/QOL questionnaires, Videofluoroscopy (VF), acoustic pharyngometery measures and voice samples.
