1. Resting State Connectivity in Adolescents with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome and Chronic Pain

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purposes of this study are to compare the functional connectivity in adolescent patients with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) both with and without chronic pain, to those with chronic pain alone, to that of healthy controls; to evaluate whether there is a change in functional connectivity following participation in an intensive rehabilitation-oriented program previously demonstrated to have excellent outcomes with regard to functional recovery and symptom control; and to correlate outcomes using standardized symptom and function rating scales to imaging findings.

2. A Study to Evaluate Sex-Specific Effects of Endocrine Disruption on Aging and Alzheimer's Disease

   Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to investigate how abrupt loss of ovarian hormones following bilateral oophorectomy affects overall aging, physical performance, and cognitive function, including the risk for Alzheimer’s disease in women who had this procedure performed prior to natural menopause for benign conditions.

3. Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (AMSCs) For Recurrent Glioblastoma

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   This study aims to evaluate the safety of local delivery of AMSCs for recurrent GBM by noting the incidence of adverse events, as well as radiological and clinical progression.

   To assess the preliminary efficacy of local delivery of AMSCs for recurrent GBM by comparing the clinical, survival, progression, and radiographic outcomes from patients enrolled in our study to historical controls from our institution.

4. A Study to Review Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Patients with Epilepsy

   Rochester, Minn.

   The primary purpose of this study is to compare the diagnostic utility of 7T MRI versus 3T MRI in the detection of subtle epileptogenic lesions in the brain.

5. A Study to Evaluate the Use of a Smartphone App for Stroke Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of a smartphone app for stroke patients with obstructive sleep apnea in order to better use their positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy.

6. Creation of PLACENTA/Serum Repository Database: Autoimmunity from Mother To Baby Study

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of the study is to learn more about autoimmunity and potential mother to baby transmission of pathogenic antibodies. The collected research samples from children will be frozen and stored at the Mayo Clinic and will be used for future studies of autoimmune diseases.

7. A Multimodal Monitoring (MMM) Computer to Detect Physiologic Trends in Data in Neurointensive Care Unit Patients

   Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to identify important physiologic trends in bedside ICU data such as cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP), intracranial pressure (ICP) using a bedside “Multimodal monitoring” (MMM) computer which utilizes ICM+ Cambridge software.

8. Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Biomarkers for Prediction of Dementia

   Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla.

   To further investigate biomarkers in CSF as possible predictors for mild cognitive impairment and dementia

9. A Study of Immune-Mediated Activation of Astrocytes in Healthy Volunteers

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to characterize the astrocyte response to various inflammatory drivers in the presence of innate immune cells collected from healthy subjects. We will identify innate immune cell populations that contribute to astrocyte reactivity and elucidate the mechanisms responsible for altering the transcriptional and translational profile of astrocytes.

10. A Prospective Registry for Patients with REM Sleep Behavior Disorder and Polysomnographic REM Sleep without Atonia and Controls

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to follow patients with REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) over time and learn which types of RBD patients may be at risk of developing other diseases.
