Testing the Usability of a Patient-Centered Tool

We are developing a computer-based tool for people who have cancers of the blood, bone marrow, and lymph nodes. This tool will help us understand what is most important to patients when it comes to the results of their treatment. We are looking for healthy volunteers (those without cancer) to help us test the usability of this tool.

Multicenter study to learn more about brain avms and bleeding in people with Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT)

The purpose of this study is to learn more about brain AVMs (BAVMs) and bleeding in HHT. We plan to study risk factors for rupture of BAVMs and also for other bleeding and features of HHT disease, including primarily genetics and imaging characteristics of the BAVMs. We hope that knowledge about risk factors will help improve the care and management of HHT patients.

Evaluating coagulation activation and the impact of iron status in patients with Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT)

The purpose is to evaluate coagulation activation and the impact of iron status in patients with Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT). Participants on this study will include patients with HHT, patients with iron deficiency +/- anemia but without HHT, and healthy volunteers The study team will procure single and/or serial blood samples from participants and assess various markers of hemostasis and activation of coagulation, and host iron status.

Cognition at a Distance: Testing Cognition Remotely

We want to test adults with sickle cell disease, using both the conventional in-person Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA) and, within 2-4 months, the abbreviated 'MOCA-blind', which can be given remotely. In this way we can begin to evaluate whether these tests are sensitive to similar degrees of impairment when given remotely compared with in-person in people with sickle cell disease (SCD).
