Feeding and Eating Disorders in Adolescents with Disorders of Gut-Brain Interaction

Adolescents with Disorders of Gut-Brain Interaction (DGBI) commonly have difficulties with eating. However, little is known about the degree of eating difficulties or related impact on DGBI symptoms. This study will systematically study Feeding and Eating Disorders in adolescents with DGBI. We will also collect saliva and fecal samples to initiate a biosample repository.

Clinical Needs of Patients with Angelman syndrome or Dup 15q syndromee

The goal of this study is to gather information about people with a chromosome 15 condition. The information will be linked to information from other studies in the LADDER database. Identifying information will be removed. Researchers will be able to use the information to try to improve the quality of life for people living with these conditions.

TAK-609 PTA Program

Hunter Syndrome or Mucopolysaccharidosis II (MPS II) is a rare genetic disorder caused by decreased levels of a specific enzyme, iduronate-2-sulfatase. Lack of this enzyme causes buildup of large sugar molecules called glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). The build up of GAGs causes significant damage to the body and brain. Idursulfase-IT, an enzyme replacement therapy, was developed for the treatment of patients with Hunter Syndrome with cognitive impairment to help with the central nervous system manifestations of the disease. The purpose of this post-trial access program is so that patients with Hunter syndrome who previously received monthly administration of idursulfase-IT through participation in an earlier clinical research study can continue to receive it.

Mechanism of Macrophage and Fibroblast Activation in SSc

The purpose of this study is to understand the ways in which systemic sclerosis (SSc) develops and identify potential treatments. Because this study focuses on the interaction between macrophages and fibroblasts, both peripheral blood and skin will be necessary for completion of this work. Results from this work will provide the rational basis for the development of novel treatments for SSc patients.

Professionalism in Anesthesiology training: Is there a generation gap?

Professionalism is the first of six core competencies required in the curriculum of residency programs. Significant research has been done exploring the domains of professionalism in general and within the context of anesthesiology and anesthesiology training. Although little research has been done to identify breaches in professionalism most common today, research has shown there is a correlation between unprofessional behavior among physicians and patient dissatisfaction, lawsuits, and negative patient outcomes. The purpose of this study is to identify the most commonly perceived domains of unprofessional behavior observed in anesthesiology residency training programs. Additionally, we wish to see if professional lapses may stem from generational differences between teachers and trainees in their perception of professional behavior.
