Identifying challenges and stressors related to accessing central venous catheters (CVCs) for treatment infusions: a pilot study

The purpose of this research study is to improve safety measures and reduce stressors associated with lumen hub-clave seizures when caring for patients with CVCs. The primary outcome of the pilot study is to document the types and frequency of workarounds employed, current disinfection techniques, and the stressors of those caring for and accessing CVCs.

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).

Cell Therapy and Stem Cell Transplant Sample Registry

We are collecting blood and optionally stool, bone marrow or tissue samples from patients who received cell therapy or a stem cell transplant to treat cancer. This will help understand how the immune system recovers after cell therapy or stem cell transplant and how it may relate to patient outcomes.
