This study is recruiting CHLA staff/employees/trainees to participate in a study assessing the efficacy of different types of video in teaching a surgical skill to novices. Participants will complete a survey and a medical training task, watch a video, and then repeat the medical training task in 2 weeks.
We want to learn more about how cancer treatment, such as immunotherapy (i.e., CAR T cell treatment), affects the brain, learning, and behavior in patients with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL).
Learn about the development of bacterial infections in shunted hydrocephalus.
The objective of this study is to better understand how a single ventricular heart with Fontan physiology may affect brain health.
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.
The collection of the research data we hope will help better screening, diagnosing procedures and treatment of brain injury in newborns and identify a connection between MR imaging and neurodevelopmental outcomes.
To test a new experimental drug Temisirolimus - Temsirolimus (also known as Torisel®) is approved for kidney cell cancer treatment in adults - in combination with approved chemotherapy drugs - in the hopes of finding a drug combination that may be effective against leukemia and non-hodgkin’s lymphoma that has come back after initial treatment. To find the highest dose that can be given without casing severe side effects.
The aim is to find out how overall health and wellness is related to need for pain medication after surgery.
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.
