What is the purpose of this study? This research study is exploring about how digital data (ie. social media, online searches, and step tracking data) are associated with Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) and related risk factors in order to develop a more precise CHD risk predictor tool. We …
The purpose of this research study is twofold: to study the role HIV has on the brain’s function and more particularly, the relationship between HIV and stroke; and to study how the presence of HIV effects robot-assisted rehabilitation after stroke, and its association with clinical improvement.
This is a pivotal phase 3 study designed to support an indication for the reduction of cardiovascular risk in patients with established CVD and elevated Lp(a)
The nuMoM2b Heart Health Study (nuMoM2b-HHS) has followed a demographically diverse cohort of women enrolled and richly phenotyped during their first pregnancy, with data and biospecimens prospectively collected for up to 7 years thereafter. The overarching scientific goal of this study is to define the relationship between adverse pregnancy outcomes …
A novel device, developed at the University of Pennsylvania, utilizes diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS), which allows for real-time, continuous bedside monitoring of CBF using near infrared light. This non-invasive device holds great promise for monitoring cerebral hemodynamics in stroke patients. Prior work from our group has used this device to …
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if closing off the left atrial appendage (LAA) of your heart (a small-sack like structure that is part of the upper chamber of the heart) during scheduled heart surgery with a surgical device known as the AtriClip, reduces the risk of a …
Stroke can occur when a clot stops the flow of the blood in one of the arteries supplying the brain. This type of stroke, called ischemic stroke, can be treated alone or in a combination of drugs to dissolve the clot, devices to remove the clot (mechanical thrombectomy) or use …
This is a prospective, observational study that will enroll 8000 patients with acute-onset ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage or aneurysmal subarchnoid hemorrhage within 6 weeks of onset. Participants will undergo both in person and telephone follow up in order to assess for longitudinal cognitive and functional outcomes.
Endovascular therapy is the physical removal of the clot in your brain through an artery in your groin or arm. This type of stroke is called an ischemic stroke and carries a high risk of disability or death. In this study we are trying to learn more about a new …
