New York University (NYU) Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD) Study
The purpose of this research study is to collect information on patients with Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD). SCAD is caused by a break in the wall of a coronary artery (blood vessel supplying the heart with blood), which then leads to a blockage of blood flow to the heart. Most patients then have symptoms of a heart attack. SCAD typically affects younger people, mostly women who do not have the traditional risk factors associated with heart disease. There are many potential causes and ways to treat SCAD. Therefore, by observing patients who have been diagnosed, we hope to determine which tests and/or medications are working best to treat this condition and prevent future heart events.

NMTRC014: NMTT- Neuroblastoma Maintenance Therapy Trial Using Difluoromethylornithine (DFMO)
High risk Neuroblastoma (HR NB) remains a challenge in pediatric oncology, accounting for 15% of all pediatric cancer deaths. While most patients are able to attain remission, approximately 50% will relapse. Once relapse occurs, there is currently no curative treatment for these children, and the 5-year survival rate for these children is
No. 1 in Brain Surgery. Any Way You Look At It. | NYU Langone Health
NYU Langone has the highest survival rates for brain surgery and is the No. 1 hospital in the country for neurology and neurosurgery.
Non-contact specular microscopy measurement of peripheral and central endothelial cell density after cataract surgery
This study aims to investigate post-surgical corneal endothelial cell migration and healing using non-contact specular microscopy and tomography. 80 patients receiving cataract surgery will have corneal imaging taken pre-operatively, one day post-operatively, and several weeks post-operatively. Endothelial cell density and corneal thickness will be correlated and analyzed pre- and post-operatively.

Non-invasive biomarkers for neonatal outcomes in preterm infants
Despite modern advances that have greatly improved the health outcomes for preterm infants, the field of neonatology still lacks reliable prognostic tools for many disorders. Noninvasively-obtained samples (such as blood, trach aspirate, urine, saliva and stool samples) contain a wealth of biologic information in the form of DNA, RNA, proteins, and metabolites that can predict neonatal outcomes. Exosomes are small, membrane-bound extracellular vesicles (EVs) that are released by a variety of cells and involved in several cell-to-cell communication pathways. A proposed mechanism by which exosomes mediate cell signaling is via microRNAs (miRNAs), which are small, non-coding RNA segments that silence complementary messenger RNA (mRNA) segments. While exosomes have been characterized in biofluids from adults, few studies have examined the diagnostic value of biofluid exosomes.The objective of this study is to determine whether exosomes can be isolated from neonatal blood, urine, trach aspirate, saliva and stool samples, and if so, whether specific biomarkers (such as exosomal miRNAs) are associated with distinct neonatal pathologies such as chronic lung disease of prematurity (BPD: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia) or other neonatal inflammatory conditions. This is significant because findings could revolutionize the way preterm infants in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) are monitored at the bedside. This exploratory, prospective study will be conducted with samples collected from the NYU Winthrop Hospital NICU. Specifically, we will measure biomarkers from non-invasive samples (Blood, urine, saliva and stool samples) in two groups; 1) preterm infants
