To investigate the connection between diet, genetics, and diseases in Hispanic / Latino youth.
To advance research on Minimal Change Disease (MCD), Focal and Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), and Membranous Nephropathy (MN) that define nephrotic syndrome.
The aim is to find out how overall health and wellness is related to need for pain medication after surgery.
This research is being done to test the safety and effectiveness of intranasal carbetocin to treat Prader Willi Syndrome.
There is currently a lack of information on critical questions surrounding laterality of ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO), the difference between extrinsic and intrinsic obstruction, the utility of retrograde pyelogram, and the appropriate management for patients with concurrent UPJO and ureterovesical junction obstruction (UVJO). Therefore, we propose first a retrospective study of all pyeloplasty’s completed at CHLA for UPJO to answer some of these critical questions. The results of this study may inform future studies in this realm. We will retrospectively review all cases of pyeloplasty completed at CHLA (from 2000 through present) to identify differences in outcomes.
To determine the safety and feasibility of autologous umbilical cord blood-derived mononuclear cells delivered into the myocardium of the right ventricle during planned Stage II Glen surgical procedure for individuals with hypoplastic left heart syndrome.
The primary aim of this registry will be to identify genes and/or biologic and environmental factors that either cause these tumors or increase one's risk for developing them. Ultimately, research using this registry may result in improved diagnosis, more effective treatments and possibly prevention.
To assess the survival rate of subjects at 6 and 12 months following implantation of the Bioabsorbable pulmonary valve conduit. To assess the rate of conduit failures at 6 months, requiring re-intervention or reoperation.
