The overarching goal of our research is to define an evidence-based, sustainable approach to identifying and managing genetic risk among young adults with cancer and their relatives. Conventional practice leaves referral and testing decisions to mostly non-expert clinicians implementing complex guidelines at the point of care, leading to substantial under-utilization. …
The research study is being done to better understand how and why the airway collapses during sleep. We would like to find out what types of things (for example, air flow, air pressure, or face shape) affect if someone’s throat closes up during sleep and how well they do after …
The aim is to prospectively evaluate the efficacy and mechanism of benefit of HI-CRT vs. BIV CRT in patients with Right Bundle Brank Block (RBBB). Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) will be assess at 6 months following HIS CRT Vs. BIV CRT implant in Heart Failure patients with RBBB.
The objective of this study is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the Indigo Aspiration system for percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy in a population presenting with obstruction due to deep vein thrombosis (DVT) who are eligible for treatment.
This research study seeks to validate how echocardiogram (echo) data predicts response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) provided by a CRT device with a defibrillator (CRT-D) in individuals without the heart arrhythmia abnormality left bundle branch block (LBBB). It also aims to identify new variables recorded from electrocardiograms (ECG) or …
The purpose of this registry is to understand the safety and effectiveness of various medications used in treating the condition of symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), a type of heart disease that causes the muscular wall in the chambers of the heart to thicken which can cause blood flow in …
This will be a prospective, observational, multicenter study. All implants will be placed in the maxilla or mandible for already established participants at Penn Dental Medicine. The patient will either have a temporary prosthesis placed (out of occlusion) immediately (during the same implant placement visit or within 48 hours) or …
A novel device, developed at the University of Pennsylvania, utilizes diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS), which allows for real-time, continuous bedside monitoring of CBF using near infrared light. This non-invasive device holds great promise for monitoring cerebral hemodynamics in stroke patients. Prior work from our group has used this device to …
To evaluate safety of ultrahypofractionated proton therapy to the prostate and whole pelvis with HDR brachytherapy boost. The technique will be deemed safe if 10% of patients experience a CTCAE grade 3 or higher genitourinary or gastrointestinal toxicity cumulatively over the first year of treatment.To evaluate for multiple domains of …
The primary objective of the study is to gather safety and effectiveness data in support of the Citadel Embolization Device for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms. Secondary objectives are to gain physician experience and expert clinical feedback on the design features of the Citadel Embolization Device to inform possible iterative …
