1. A Study to Evaluate Manipulation Under Anesthesia After Bilateral Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine unique genetic profile of patients requiring MUA following bilateral pTKA via genetic sequencing, to determine outcomes of patients receiving MUA in terms of KSS, implant durability, survival free of reoperation, and to define characteristics and comorbidities of patients undergoing unilateral and bilateral MUA.

2. Cognitive Advancement and Recovery in VNS-Rehabilitation (CARE)

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to investigate whether VNS therapy leads to any changes in the cognitive functions of individuals who have survived a stroke.

3. A Study Of Sonodynamic Therapy With SONALA-001 And Exablate 4000 Type 2.0 In Subjects With Progressive Or Recurrent Glioblastoma Multiforme (RGBM)

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to characterize the safety, dose limiting toxicities (DLTs), maximum tolerated dose (MTD), maximum administered dose (MAD) and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) for future study after treatment with SONALA-001 in combination with MRgFUS in subjects with progressive or rGBM.

4. A Vaccine (H2NVAC) Before Surgery For The Treatment Of HER2-Expressing Ductal Carcinoma In Situ

   Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla.

   This phase Ib trial studies the side effects and best dose of a vaccine called H2NVAC before surgery in treating patients with HER2 expressing ductal carcinoma in situ. H2NVAC is a vaccine designed to stimulate specialized white blood cells in hopes of increasing immune response and protecting against breast cancer.

5. Human Blood and Tissues Repository for Neuroscience Research

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to collect adult human blood, cerebrospinal fluid, brain, and spine tissues/fluids at time of surgery in order to conduct future studies of the cellular mechanisms of tissue invasion utilized by brain and spine tumors of the central nervous system (CNS).

6. A Study to Assess Long-term Symptom Improvement and Recurrence after Operative Management of Popliteal Artery Entrapment Syndrome (PAES)

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate long-term symptom resolution and quality of life improvements after operative management of popliyteal artery entrapment syndrome (PAES).

7. A Study to Assess the Effect of Radial Deviation on the Pronated Grip

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to describe a practical and reproducible radiographic view that can be used in the work-up of ulnocarpal impaction.

8. Outcome of Capsular Release for Elbow Contracture

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to assess the outcome and complications of capsular release for elbow contractures.

    

9. Aggressive Malignancy PDX (Avatar) and Cryopreservation Program

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to assess the ability to successfully create numerous validated patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models from patient tumor specimens obtained at surgery/biopsy via the new Pathology/TRAG cryopreservation protocol, and to generate a large catalog and repertoire of previously unavailable histologically validated PDX.

    

10. A Study to Assess Outcomes Based on Different Surgical Approaches to Minimally-invasive Gallbladder Surgery

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to compare the outcomes of patients who had standard laparoscopic port placement compared to non-standard port placement to determine any difference in occurrence of post-operative hernia and operative complications.
