1. A Study to Evaluate a New Predictive Model for the Progression of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to characterize the risk of scoliosis progression based on local three-dimensional vertebral and pelvic measurements present on initial evaluation. The proposed new study aims at refining and testing the external validity of this model in a larger cohort. The next step towards using the new model in the clinical setting is to redesign the model and to externally validate the model by measuring the agreement between the new method and the traditional Cobb angle at maturity in a larger multicenter study.  The ultimate goal of this research project will be to validate this new predictive model and finally transfer this new predictive tool in the hands of clinicians treating AIS.

    

2. Analysis of the Cardiac, Aorta and Carotid Artery Walls for Hemodynamic Monitoring in the Intensive Care Unit

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The primary aim of this study is to determine if biomechanical properties of cardiac and large arterial walls measured by ultrasound-based novel imaging technology correlate with hemodynamic parameters measured by other tools in the ICU.

3. A Study to Evaluate Outcomes of Rotator Cuff Repair

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is evaluate the outcomes and complications in patients who underwent a rotator cuff repair.

4. A Quality of Life Assessment of Patients with Biliary Obstruction Undergoing Endoscopic or Percutaneous Drainage

   Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Jacksonville, Fla.

   The aim of this study is to compare the quality of life of patients with biliary obstruction who have undergone an endoscopic or percutaneous drainage. The quality of life of patients witll be assessed using the validated "European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions Questionnaire" and the "Intervention-Dependent Questionnaire" which was developed according to current literature as well as the expert opinion of gastroeneterologists.

    

5. A Study to Evaluate Maternal-fetal Immune Responses to Fetal Surgery

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purposes of this study are to determine whether maternal T cells are activated and expand after in utero intervention, and to determine whether placental macrophages and histology in the maternal-fetal interface exhibit increased activation and inflammation in surgical cases born preterm (<37 weeks) compared to term.

6. Study to Evaluate the Continued Safety and Probable Benefit of the MID-C System for 5 Years Post-Implantation in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS)

   Rochester, Minn., Minneapolis, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the continued safety and probable benefit of the MID-C system for 5 years post-implantation in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS).

7. Investigating the Link Between Type 2 Immunity and NAFLD in Human Obesity- AIM 1

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   This study is being done to better understand the relationship between inflammation in your AT, abnormal deposition of fat around your liver and how this affects its appearance and function and ultimately insulin resistance.

8. A Study to Collect Clinical Outcomes of Anatomic and Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of the study is a multi-center prospective registry to collect clinical outcomes of anatomic and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty.

9. Allogeneic Mesenchymal Stromal Cell Donor Bank

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to collect adipose tissue from patients undergoing elective surgery, or from healthy volunteers, test the donors to assure that they comply with all regulatory aspects required of healthy donors, expand and test mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC), and bank them for future use.

10. MelmarT Melanoma Margins Trial Investigating 1cm v 2cm Wide Excision Margins for Primary Cutaneous Melanoma (MelMarT)

    Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

    The purpose of this study is to determine differences in the rate of local recurrence and melanoma specific survival. A reduction in margins is expected to improve quality of life to back up evidence that less radical margins of excision may be just as safe.
