1. A Study of Demyelinating Lesions as a Cause of Progressive Motor Deterioration

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is a comprehensive review of the clinical and radiologic history in these patients as well as review of neuropathology in deceased patients, where available.  The goal of this research is to investigate the hypothesis that this presentation represents a spatially limited form of CNS inflammatory demyelinating disease.

2. A Study to Evaluate MR of CSF Dynamics

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate changes in CSF dynamics (e.g., velocity, flow rate) between patients with normal pressure hydrocephalus and healthy controls, as well as patients with other dementia disorders.

3. Dabrafenib Combined With Trametinib After Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Newly-Diagnosed High-Grade Glioma

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to estimate the event-free survival (EFS) distribution for newly-diagnosed patients with BRAFV600-mutant high-grade glioma (HGG) without H3 K27M mutations excluding anaplastic pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma (aPXA) and anaplastic ganglioglioma (aGG) treated with radiation therapy followed by a maintenance combination of dabrafenib and trametinib and to compare this EFS to contemporary historical controls.

4. A Registry for Children Treated with Proton Radiation Therapy

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of the Pediatric Proton Consortium Registry (PPCR) is to enroll children who have been treated with proton radiation in the United States in order to describe the population that currently receives protons and better evaluate its benefits over other therapies. The data collected from this study will help facilitate research on proton beam radiation therapy and allow for collaborative research. The PPCR will collect demographic and clinical data which many centers that deliver proton radiation therapy already collect in routine operations.

5. Minnesota Spinal Cord Injury Data Network

   Rochester, Minn.

   This is a study to generate feasibilty data regarding the collection of health and psychosocial outcomes after acquired spinal cord injury (SCI)

6. Determinants of Incident Stroke Cognitive Outcomes and Vascular Effects on Recovery (DISCOVERY)

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose o fthis study

   A total of 8,000 patients presenting to CPSs with acute-onset AIS, ICH or aSAH and no history of dementia will be enrolled within 6 weeks of stroke onset.

   All participants will undergo baseline screening for evidence of pre-stroke dementia. Those who pass baseline screening will complete a blood draw and a series of cognitive and functional assessments at baseline.

   Participants will undergo in-person (3-6 months, 18 months) and telephone (annual) follow-up visits for the duration of the study to assess for longitudinal cognitive and functional outcomes. In addition to Tier 1 procedures, at each in-person follow-up visit: Tier 2 participants will also undergo MRI scanning, comprehensive cognitive assessment batteries and longitudinal blood collection; and Tier 3 participants will also complete amyloid- and tau-PET/CT scans.

7. A Study to Clarify the Relationship Between Autonomic Nervous System Regulation and Cognitive Performance

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to measure changes in autonomic nervous system functioning to show the impact of down-regulation techniques under cognitive stress.

8. Cerebral Spinal Fluid Evaluation in Individuals Who Have Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (INPH)

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to further characterize the serum and Cerebral Spinal Fluid (CSF) biomarker profile of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus, both before and after VP shunt placement, and help differentiate this profile from Alzheimer’s disease.

    

9. Development of Skeletal Muscle Fibers from Patient-Derived Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs)

   Rochester, Minn.

   The goal of this study is to create a repository of skin fibroblasts from patients with inherited myopathies or suspected inherited myopathies. The study will optimize the development of skeletal muscle cells from patient induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and to characterize their morphological, biochemical, electrophysiological and molecular properties. The study will also use skin fibroblasts as source of DNA to investigate for research purpose the genetic defect causing the myopathy, and test in future potentially therapeutic drugs in the iPSC-derived muscle cells.

10. In Vivo Development of Phosphorus Magnetic Resonance Imaging Technology

    Rochester, Minn.

    The goal of this study is to evaluate and optimize our existing phosphorus MRI head coil and imaging sequence on healthy human volunteers.
