Comparing the outcomes of managing acute postoperative pain between two therapies

The Comparison of Analgesic Regimen Effectiveness and Safety in Surgery (CARES) trial is a randomized controlled study comparing the outcomes of managing acute postoperative pain between two therapies: (1) A prescription for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and acetaminophen (Tylenol); OR (2) A prescription for low-dose opioids and acetaminophen (Tylenol) for patients scheduled for one of the following 3 surgeries: (1) gallbladder removal, (2) inguinal hernia repair, and (3) breast lumpectomy. This study is being done to learn which option works the best at relieving pain and has the least amount of side effects.

Precision Antiplatelet Therapy After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

The purpose of this research study is to see how use of genetic testing to help doctors with choosing blood thinning medication after a heart procedure called an angioplasty (also called percutaneous coronary intervention or PCI) affects your risk of having a heart attack, stroke, death or bleeding. Some doctors use genetic testing to help decide which blood thinner to prescribe for a patient. By doing the study, the investigators will be able to look at clinical outcomes (heart attacks, stroke, death, bleeding) after genetic testing and prescribing of blood thinning medications for patients with different backgrounds and medical histories. They will also look for new genes that affect how blood thinners work.

Symptom Monitoring in Hemodialysis

This study is comparing two approaches for monitoring and addressing symptoms among adult patients with kidney failure who are treated with hemodialysis. For the first approach patients use an electronic system twice a month to report their symptoms. The system sends alerts to their medical team at the dialysis clinic about the reported symptoms and gives suggestions about how to manage them. The system also provides reports that show patients and their medical team the reported symptoms over time. For the second approach patients complete a quality of life questionnaire that includes questions about symptoms once a year. The questionnaire does not have follow-up support like alerts, symptom management guidance, or reports. In addition, researchers will talk to patients, dialysis clinic personnel, and medical providers about their experiences using the electronic symptom monitoring system to learn about how to best use patient-reported outcome measures in dialysis care.

Low oxygen in pregnant women with sickle cell

The goal of this study is to uncover the frequency of low oxygen levels during sleep in pregnant women that have severe sickle cell disease. These women have a high risk of complications during pregnancy, and low oxygen levels might contribute to the complications. Therefore, finding and treating low oxygen can be impactful. The study will also look at blood cells and assess how low oxygen affects them.
