We are working with researchers at Columbia University to test whether text messaging can be used effectively to help people with hypertension to control their blood pressure. If you are between the ages of 18 and 85 years and have a cell phone, you may be eligible to participate in this study. The study would involve a telephone call that would last about…
The purpose of this study is to test an investigational device called the Echopulse for treatment of breast fibroadenomas in women. Fibroadenomas are benign (noncancerous) breast tumors. These lumps can occur alone, in groups, or as a complex of lumps together. Sometimes women feel these in the breast when doing regular self-breast exams, or they may be…
We are conducting a research study in adults to test whether blood pressure (BP) measured in a clinic setting without a technician present is comparable to blood pressure levels while awake outside of the clinic on an Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) device. We will also test whether asleep blood pressure can be accurately determined using a home…
We are currently looking for men and non-pregnant women aged 40 years and above to participate in an at-home study on sleep and activity patterns in relation to blood pressure and blood glucose. Participants should not have critical/severe illness and should not be on dialysis or have a pacemaker or other implanted medical device. You must be willing to…
We are asking you to participate in a research study to learn if different ways of doing routine anesthesia and patient care before, during and after abdominal surgery can reduce breathing problems. The total time of the study is 3 months with daily visits by a member of our study team while you are in the hospital and 3 short follow-up calls after you…
RADIANCE II is a randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled, single cohort study designed todemonstrate the effectiveness (how well it works) and safety of the Paradise Renal Denervation System in hypertensive subjects (subjects with high blood pressure).
The study has been designed to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of the Paradise Renal Denervation System when treating patients with high blood pressure known as hypertension. When blood pressure is persistently elevated and pushes against the walls of the artery over a long period of time it is known to cause Hypertension. The Paradise Renal Denervation…
The study is designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the InSpace device as a primary surgical treatment for a full thickness Massive Rotator Cuff Tears (MRCT) in comparison to Partial Repair of a full thickness MRCT performed during an arthroscopic procedure.
The purpose of this research study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of two drug-eluting stents that are used to open the blocked or narrowed blood vessel of the leg in patients with Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD): the ELUVIA Stent and the Zilver PTX Stent.
The purpose of this project is to collect more data about the safety and effectiveness of renal denervation (disabling of kidney nerves) for the treatment of uncontrolled hypertension. For therenal denervation procedure, the Vessix Renal Denervation System is used. The system consists of a catheter (a thin tube) and a radio frequency (RF) generator (power…
Thepurposeof the study is to test whether or not QPI-1002 could be used to lessen or prevent acute kidney injury after heart surgery. Another purpose is to better understand the safety of QPI-1002.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the short-term (1 year) and long-term (5 and 10 year) safetyand effectiveness of the JOURNEY II CR Total Knee System in patients with degenerative joint disease of the knee requiring primary total knee replacement. Clinical, radiographic, and health economic outcomes will be evaluated.
You are being asked to be part of this study because you have been diagnosed with a bulge or aneurysm in your iliac arteries, the vessels that supply blood to the lower half of your body. As an aneurysm expands, the walls become weak and may rupture, causing a major loss of blood with a high risk of death and other serious complications. To avoid this risk…
The purpose of this study is to find out more about how physical activity monitors can help assess patients with pulmonary hypertension. We hope to find a relationship between the data on physical activity monitors and the tests that routinely done in patients with pulmonary hypertension.
