1. A Study to Evaluate a New Predictive Model for the Progression of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to characterize the risk of scoliosis progression based on local three-dimensional vertebral and pelvic measurements present on initial evaluation. The proposed new study aims at refining and testing the external validity of this model in a larger cohort. The next step towards using the new model in the clinical setting is to redesign the model and to externally validate the model by measuring the agreement between the new method and the traditional Cobb angle at maturity in a larger multicenter study.  The ultimate goal of this research project will be to validate this new predictive model and finally transfer this new predictive tool in the hands of clinicians treating AIS.

    

2. A Study to Establish a Retinoblastoma Patient Clinical Database and Tissue Repository

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to systematically and prospectively record accurate and complete data regarding the clinical presentation, treatment, and outcomes of patients diagnosed with RB; collect, bank, preserve, and analyze biomaterials from patients with RB, and to correlate phenotypic data with findings from human biomaterials.

    

3. A Study to Evaluate the Spectrum of Healthy Pediatric Inflammatory Responses to Vaccinations

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to understand the role of systemic inflammation in the genesis of seizures in susceptible children by gaining a clearer understanding of the spectrum of inflammatory responses that occur in healthy children post-vaccinations.

4. Pediatric Pain Rehabilitation Treatment Outcomes for Chronic Noncancer Pain

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of the study is to learn more about adolescent and young adults' experience with chronic pain. In particular, we are studying factors which lead to pain-associated disability and factors which predict decreased disability during and after participation in a three-week intensive treatment program. In addition to gathering information from the young people with chronic pain, parents are also asked to give their perspective.
