Cardiometabolic Comorbidity Burden and Vascular Health in Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction
The purpose of this research study is to investigate blood vessel wall function and genetic information (blueprints of your cells) in people with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction and determine the relationship between blood vessel wall function and health status. We hope to improve our understanding of heart failure to be able to develop new strategies to care for and treat people with this disease. We are asking you to take part in this research study because you have a medical condition being studied and/or are scheduled to have test/procedure.
DISCOVERY of Risk Factors for Type 2 Diabetes in Youth Study
Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) is a medical condition in which high blood sugars develop in the body. The DISCOVERY study team is doing this study to learn about things that put youth at risk for early onset of T2D. This study will help us develop future studies on how to prevent and treat youth-onset T2D. The DISCOVERY study will enroll and follow a large group of youth (about 3,600) at higher than average risk of developing T2D. They will be closely followed with measures that may predict the development of T2D as they go through puberty.
Glycemic and Cardiometabolic Biomarker improvements associated with reduction in air pollution exposure
In this research, we will conduct a double-blind, sham-controlled, randomized trial to examine the glycemic and cardiometabolic impact of air pollution exposure reduction using home portable air cleaners (PACs) in a cohort of 142 adult with prediabetes. This study will not evaluate the PAC or sham as medical devices in the context of this research; rather, the PAC and sham will be used per their commercialized indication as tools to standardize the conditions in order to measure the glycemic and cardiometabolic impact of reduced air pollution exposure.
Tuberous Sclerosis Complex Biosample Repository and Natural History Database Project
The purpose of the project is to learn more about tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) which may lead to new treatments for conditions that affect different areas of the body such as the brain, kidney, lungs, and skin. The TSC Biosample Repository was established to provide a central biobank for the collection of blood, tissues, and cells from a vast number of individuals with TSC. The TSC Alliance Natural History Database, established in 2006 will serve as the central repository of de-identified clinical data associated with biosamples collected from individuals with TSC. The VARI Biorepository will distribute biosamples to researchers as approved by the TS Alliance.
Interferometric Near-infrared Spectroscopy (iNIRS) for non-invasive sensing of tissue blood flow and oxygenation
It has been challenging to diagnose diseases occurring deep within the human brain with portable and inexpensive medical imaging. While technologies such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) provide state-of-the-art imaging resolution, more portable, less invasive, and cheaper technologies are needed. This study will test a new non-invasive technology, called Interferometric Near-infrared Spectroscopy (iNIRS), that uses light to measure flow and oxygenation deep inside tissues. During the study, non-invasive optical monitoring of blood flow and other physiological parameters will be performed in participants as they perform simple tasks, or during physiological manipulations.
Prospective Randomized Three Arm Study of lumbar Spinal Fusion Graft Efficacy: Bone marrow aspirate concentrate & Allograft versus Recombinant Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 (BMP) versus Control Group
This study will be a prospective, randomized clinical study at a single-center, NYU Langone Medical Center. It is intended to compare and evaluate the efficacy of subjects who are either treated with (1) bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) and allograft or (2) recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP) or (3) autograft (control) during lumbar spinal fusion with interbody support. The clinical, radiographic, and Health Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) outcomes will be assessed in operatively treated adult spinal degenerative disease patients undergoing lumbar spinal fusion.
