To find out the effects of ApoE4 on the Preterm Brain.
Develop better ways of screening and diagnosing certain types of brain injuries in infants and children who are born with and without congenital heart disease.
We are studying the role of gut microbiome diversity on the mucosal and systemic responses to Ty21a vaccine. This is to determine if a given microbiota composition is associated with specific immune responses and to evaluate the impact of an oral typhoid vaccination on the human gut microbiota.
To understand how environmental factors affect a child's early brain development. This includes positive factors like social support and parent-child bonding and challenges like poverty, stress and early life exposures.
To find out how SARS-CoV-2 is spread throughout a household.
1) To determine if 5 doses of Epo (Erythropoietin) 1000 U/kg (birth weight) intravenous (IV) reduces the rate of death or neurodevelopmental impairment (mild, moderate, or severe) at 24 months of age.
2) To assess safety of Epo.
3) To determine whether Epo decreases the severity of HIE-induced brain injury as evidenced by early MRI and plasma biomarkers of brain injury.
The purpose of this study is to understand the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on vulnerable families in Los Angeles, including those caring for a child with special health care needs. Information from this research will be used to understand what the key resource and service needs of families are at this time as well as identify interventions that can be developed or adapted to address these needs.
