The purpose of this research study is to create a Lymphoma Registry of patients who are willing to complete the study's comprehensive assessment. The assessment is designed to gather information on memory, nutritional status, mental health, and level social support. It is also designed to understand how well you carry out your day to day activities and to briefly describe what other medical conditions you may have. This assessment will help your health care team determine your "functional age" (the age you function at) as compared to how many years old you are. We will also ask you to complete questionnaires that ask questions about your personal health history, such as exercise and smoking,
The purpose of this research study is to compare how well two types of physical therapy (PT) programs work for people who have recently had total knee replacement (TKR). One program is typical postoperative PT. The other program is typical postoperative PT with additional balance training and physical activity coaching. By doing this study, we hope to provide people who have TKR in the future, as well as their health care providers, with information that will help people following TKR to increase their physical activity and improve their walking mechanics after TKR.
We are collecting data on children living with chronic kidney disease, including children on dialysis or with a kidney transplant, to learn more about what happens over time. The data collected will be used for research projects.
We are doing a study to learn how quickly blood inside the eye goes away on its own. This kind of bleeding is called a vitreous hemorrhage. It can make it hard for people to see clearly. We will use a special eye ultrasound to take pictures over time and measure how the blood is clearing up. By doing this, we hope to learn when doctors might need to step in and when it's safe to wait and watch.
We are studying how eye pressure changes right after an Avastin injection, a common treatment for eye conditions. We want to see if there are differences in eye pressure between people with and without glaucoma, and between those with and without a tube placed in the eye to help with pressure. This will help doctors better understand how to care for patients after these injections.

To have a well phenotyped cohort of people with sickle cell disease in order to examine risk factors for end organ disease through the creation of a multi-site registry and to develop a repository for the long-term storage of patient samples (whole blood, peripheral blood, serum) along with corresponding demographic and clinical information to allow for clinical and laboratory correlations.
We are collecting breastmilk samples to study the amounts and kinds of chemical contaminants in human milk to understand how infants can be exposed through breastfeeding. We are also trying to identify factors that may contribute to greater amounts of these chemicals in milk.
The primary purpose of this work is to engage a broad group of stakeholders to implement a patient-centered approach to the de-adoption of self-monitored blood glucose among non-insulin-treated patients with Type two Diabetes Mellitus.
