1. A Study of the Use of a Squatting Assist Device in Patients with Constipation

   Rochester, Minn.

   Constipation is a very common problem. Western style toilets that are nearly universal in the United States require the person to sit on the toilet. However, results from uncontrolled studies suggests that a squatting posture (as prevalent in many foreign countries) may be better at facilitating evacuation compared to a Western style commode. One uncontrolled, unpublished study suggests that a footstool improved bowel symptoms in nearly 98% of 153 constipated participants. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the benefits of a footstool on symptoms and anorectal function in constipated patients.

2. Anorectal Pressures and Simultaneous Dynamic Imaging

   Rochester, Minn.

   Many people have constipation because they cannot defecate. However, we do not fully understand the mechanisms of normal defecation or constipation. We are trying to better understand why constipation occurs and improve the tests for diagnosing these conditions.

3. Study to Better Understand the Development of Irritable Bowel Disease (IBD) and Related Diseases as a Step Toward Improving Disease Outcomes.

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to better understand disease development of Irritiable Bowel Disease (IBD) and related diseases as a step to improving disease outcomes.

4. A Study to Validate DNA Methylation Markers for Universal and Site-specific Guided Cancer Detection

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to validate candidate universal and site-specific methylated DNA markers (MDMs) in DNA extracted from formalin-fixed paraffin embedded primary tumor and control specimens.

5. A Study to Evaluate Dupilumab as a Treatment for Moderate-to-Severe, Chronic Hepatic Pruritus

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to investigate the potential effectiveness of dupilumab in the treatment of moderate-to-severe, chronic hepatic pruritus.

6. A Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness of a Healthy Living Weight Loss Program in Obese Patients Undergoing Bariatric Endoscopy on Weight Loss Outcomes

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to compare weight loss, improvement of comorbidities, improvement of lipid profile, blood sugar in patients undergoing endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty or intragastric balloon between patients who are in a weight loss program and those who are not.

7. Transforming Healthcare and Outcomes for Children with Inflammatory Bowel Disease

   La Crosse, Wis., Mankato, Minn., Eau Claire, Wis., Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose is to put the information into a very large database, which can then be used to improve patient care and achieve the best health outcomes possible for children with IBD.

8. A Study to Better Understand Why Patients Gain Weight After Undergoing Liver Transplantation

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to understanding the mechanisms of weight gain in patients following liver transplantation, action, and indicate approaches to prevent weight gain.

9. Early pancreatic cancer detection

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The primary purpose of this study is to standardize the collection of demographic, clinical, and imaging data, and biosamples for a large high-risk familial Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarinoma (PDAC) cohort at consortium clinical cancer centers, worldwide.

10. A Study to Assess Cisplatin and Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Children and Young Adults with Hepatoblastoma or Liver Cancer After Surgery

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to determine how well cisplatin and combination chemotherapy works in treating children and young adults with hepatoblastoma or liver cancer after surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, doxorubicin, fluorouracil, vincristine sulfate, carboplatin, etoposide, irinotecan, sorafenib, gemcitabine and oxaliplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving combination chemotherapy after surgery may kill more tumor cells.
