The Pulmonary Artery Catheter in Cardiogenic Shock (PACCS) Trial
The purpose of this study is to compare clinical outcomes and quality of care in patients with acutelydecompensated heart failure and cardiogenic shock (ADHF-CS) who receive a pulmonary artery catheter(PAC) earlier during their hospital stay compared to patients who receive a PAC at a later time or do notreceive one at all.
The RESTORATIVE303 Study: A Randomized Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Phase 3 Study of VE303 for Prevention of Recurrent Clostridioides Difficile Infection
The purpose of this research study is to see if the study drug, VE303, compared with placebo is safe and effective in preventing patients from having another episode of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI)following completion of a course of standard-of-care (SoC) antibiotics in participants with recurrent CDI (rCDI) and those with primary CDI who are at high risk for recurrence (pCDI-hr).
The Role of Residual Hearing in Cochlear Implant Outcomes
Cochlear implants (CIs) have the potential to restore high frequency hearing electrically while maintaining residual low frequency hearing, allowing for simultaneous electric and acoustic listening in the same ear. Residual hearing has been thought to be beneficial for all patients, prompting extensive effort into designing electrodes and surgical techniques to preserve it. However, the benefits of this combined electro-acoustic stimulation (EAS) are highly variable across patients, as is acceptance of EAS. Currently, the audiologist decides whether to fit EAS based on the patient’s audiometric thresholds and their personal predictions about its potential efficacy for the individual patient. Unfortunately, patients with similar audiograms show outcomes ranging from interference to benefit with EAS, making the audiogram a poor predictor of performance.. This is because pure-tone audiometry measures only the detection of a sound and not the ability to functionally interpret the stimuli. Determining the factors that relate to EAS benefit and acceptance is important for understanding residual hearing as well as counseling prospective patients. Therefore, a need exists for a clinically feasible measure (i.e., brief and self-administered) to evaluate the usefulness of residual hearing in a given patient. The goal of this study is to develop such a tool.
THE ROLE OF THE MICROBIOME IN MONOZYGOTIC TWINS WITH PSORIASIS AND PSORIATIC ARTHRITIS
We propose a longitudinal study of monozygotic twins discordant for psoriatic disease. Subjects will be characterized with detailed clinical questionnaires in addition to blood, fecal, skin swab, skin biopsy (optional) and urine (optional) specimen collections. These will be used to perform microbiome analysis and explore markers of inflammation as well as immunologic parameters. Healthy and psoriasis (not psoriatic arthritis) twins will be followed for up to five years. Data and biospecimen collections will be repeated on an annual basis or earlier in the case of disease conversion.
The Role of Visit Audio Recordings in Triadic Dementia Care
Good communication is associated with improved health outcomes, yet it is unclear to what extent thisoccurs between patients with dementia, their care partners and healthcare providers during office visits.There are also not many ways to support communication during these visits. The objective of thisproject is to assess interpersonal communication between patients living with dementia, their carepartners, and doctors, and examine how this is related to health outcomes. We will use findings todesign a tool to help support better communication using visit audio recordings.

The use of cannabidiol (CBD) in pain reduction for knee osteoarthritis. A Double-Blind Randomized Control Study
This will be a multi-center, double-blinded randomized controlled study. The study is comparing pain, patient satisfaction, in two cohorts: patients with knee OA undergoing physiotherapy who receive CBD and a placebo group. Patients will be asked on treatment Day 1, 2, 7, and 14, 28, and 42 to rate their pain according to the VAS scale. Additionally, patient satisfaction will be measured.
