1. Happigenius Social-Emotional Learning Curriculum in Rochester Public Schools

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of HappiGenius curriculum in 3rd grade students attending elementary school in the Rochester Public Schools system (Rochester, MN). Convenience samples are selected from students in classrooms receiving the HappiGenius curriculum in their normal school curriculum and students in classrooms that have opted not to have HappiGenius in their classroom this term. For the study, questionnaires will be administered at the start and conclusion of HappiGenius lessons to determine whether HappiGenius curriculum delivers the core competencies of improved attention, positive affect, self-awareness, sociality, and self-kindness.

2. A Study to Establish a Registry for Treatment of Post-hemorrhagic Hydrocephalus in Neonates

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to establish a prospective, standardized data collection for the patients who undergo surgical treatment of progressive post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus in neonates with the focus on comparing neuroendoscopic lavage (NEL) with other standard treatment options such as external ventricular drainage (EVD), ventricular access device (VAD) and ventricular subgaleal shunt (VSGS).

3. Group Curriculum for Improving Survivorship Outcomes in Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer Survivors

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to develop the curriculum and assess its feasibility and impact on equipping young adults to better manage these aspects of survivorship: follow up medical care, work/school life, relationships and coping with the emotional impact of cancer survivorship. 

    

    

4. 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.

    

5. Associated Anomalies with Right and Left Cusp Fusion Versus Right and Non-Coronary Cusp Fusion

   Rochester, Minn.

   The goal of this study is to determine whether significant differences exist in the prevalence of associated cardiac anomalies between right/left and right / non-coronary cusp fusion in bicuspid aortic valve.

6. A Study to Evaluate Analgesic Use and Duration for Pediatric Long Bone Fractures

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to develop an evidenced-based guideline for pediatric opioid prescribing guideline from the emergency department for long bone fractures to more closely tailor pain management to abuse potential. 

7. 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.

8. 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).

9. Monogenic Kidney Stone - Genetic Testing

   Rochester, Minn.

   90 genes related to Monogenic Stone Disease will be determined via DNA analysis by the Mayo Rare Kidney Stone Consortium (RKSC) research staff.

10. Impact of Surgical Removal or Reduction Procedures on Markers of Immune Function in Adult Patients with Renal and Bladder Tumors and Pediatric Patients with Genitourinary Tumors

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to find out more about certain markers of immune suppression in people with kidney tumors (whether the tumors are benign or cancer). Also want to find out if kidney tumor treatment leads to an improvement in these immune markers.
