1. Tissue and Blood Registry for Individuals with Liver and Biliary Tumors

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   This study will collect and store samples of tissue and blood for current and future research studies on Liver and Biliary Tumors.

2. A Study to Evaluate Cancer Distress, Psychological Trauma, and Resiliency in Hospitalized Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Patients

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to better understand the distress experience of hospitalized patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT), and to examine the relationship between cancer distress, psychological trauma, and resiliency over time.

3. A Study to Evaluate Immune and Hematopoietic Cell Assessment in Clonal B Cell Conditions

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the immune and hematopoietic compartments in patients with monoclonal B cell lymphocytosis (MBL) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) in comparison to age-matched healthy control (HC) donors.

4. A Study to Evaluate Ultrasound Imaging in Renal Transplant Recipients

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of ultrasound elastography in prediction of renal allograft fibrosis.        

5. A Study to Analyze Fractures and Bone Disease in Living Kidney Donors

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to to determine whether or not prior living kidney donors have an increased risk of bone fractures. The study will also determine bone structure and health in prior living donors as compared to matched controls.  

    

    

    

    

   We will determine if living kidney donors are at increased risk of bone disease and fractures following kidney donation. This information will be valuable in informing future kidney donors of the risks of donation and in devising treatments, such as administration of vitamin D analogs like calcitriol, to prevent such complications.

6. A Study to Examine Diabetes Control and Patient Reported Outcomes Among Kidney Transplant Recipients with Type 2 Diabetes

   Rochester, Minn.

   This study aims to measure the percentage of time spent in hyperglycemia in patients on insulin therapy and evaluate diabetes related patient reported outcomes in kidney transplant recipients with type 2 diabetes. It also aimes to evaluate immunosuppression related patient reported outcomes in kidney transplant recipients with type 2 diabetes.

7. Donor-Specific Cell Free DNA Monitoring of Thoracic Allografts

   Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to determine if DNA originating from the transplanted heart or lung can be detected in the blood and used to monitor for rejection.

8. A Study to Explore Ghrelin Levels with Primary Graft Dysfunction in Lung Transplant Recipients

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to investigate ghrelin, a peptide that mechanistically carries the promise of therapeutics benefit for diverse aspects of morbidity associated with lung transplantation.

9. Ultrasound Microvessel Imaging of Transplant Kidney

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to investigate the value of ultrasound microvessel imaging for evaluation of transplant kidney health.

10. A Study to Develop a Database of Pancreas Transplant Recipients, to Form a Larger Cohort for Future Research

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to form a database collection of pancreas transplant recipients, of a large enough size that further studies can be carried out. The data collected will be shared and received by all institutions.
