1. COVID-19 and Acute Renal Failure

   Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Rochester, Minn.

   The primary purpose of this study is to examine 1-year survival and rate of secondary infections in COVID-19 patients with and without acute kidney injury (AKI).

    

    

    

2. A Study of Nervous System Involvement of Coccidioidomycosis at Mayo Clinic Hospital in Arizona

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to gain a better understanding of the presentation, diagnostics, disease course and treatment variations, as well as the factors that may influence features of neuro-invasive Coccidioidomycosis. 

3. Laboratory Assay Optimization 2.0

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to better understand the role of HIV and/or HCV infection and/or SARS-CoV-2 on the immune system and potential ways to eliminate the virus(es).

4. Genetic Expression in Osteolysis, Infection, Arthrofibrosis & Metal Reactions in THA & TKA: A Microarray Analysis to Characterize Individual Host Response to the Molecular Mechanisms of Loosening and Arthrofibrosis

   Rochester, Minn.

   This study is being conducted to determine gene and protein expression profiles (i.e. which genes and proteins are turned off and on) of those with a possibility of developing osteolysis, infection, arthrofibrosis or metallosis of their THA/TKA.

5. NSITE: Novel Strategies to Increase Telehealth Engagement

   Eau Claire, Wis., Rochester, Minn.

   The primary objective of Aim 1 of this study are to identify personal and social determinant of health-related key factors that present as a barriers to use of non-emergent telehealth care during the COVID-19 pandemic. Aim 1 will use a qualitative study design to understand the experiences of patients along with social determinants of health (SDOH). The results of the qualitative work will be used by the research team to design the survey for administration in Aim 2.

   The primary objectgive of Aim 2 of this study is to assess personal and social determinants of health that are associated with patient’s decision to prefer face-to-face visits compared with telehealth appointments for non-emergent care. 

6. Detection of Infection in Arthroplasty

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine the sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values of molecular detection of microorganisms, detection of microbial proteins and antibodies against microorganisms, and inflammatory markers (e.g., leukocyte esterase, CRP) in synovial fluid for the diagnosis of prosthetic joint infection (PJI).

7. Study Using Clofazimine to Treat Patients with Non-Tuberculous Mycobacterial Infections

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to determine whether adding clofazimine in a treatment regimen for patients with non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infections will improve low clinical success rates in NTM infections, its mode of action, and literature reported clinical data in both NTM and multidrug-resistant tuberculosis.

    

    

8. A Study to Assess International SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) Infection

   Rochester, Minn.

   The general aim of this study is to estimate the rate of disease progression for adults who seek testing and test positive for SARS-CoV-2. The primary endpoint for this study and the basis for sample size is hospitalization or death during the 28 day follow-up period. In some locations, special facilities are being built/utilized for quarantine/public health reasons for those who are SARS-Cov-2 positive. Hospitalization is defined as a stay for at least 18 hours, irrespective of reason, at a hospital or one of these special facilities after study enrollment. Secondary outcomes include participant-reported health status and change in severity of dyspnoea.

9. Evaluation of the Effects of Caffeine, Via the ACE2 Receptor, on Clinical Severity of COVID-19 Disease

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to assess levels of caffeine intake among patients who tested positive for COVID-19 infection and compare that to disease severity.

10. T Cell Response to COVID19 Vaccinated Individuals

    Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla.

    The first aim of this study is to verify that the TCR beta sequencing and curation platforms we will be using are able to identify patients with severe COVID-19 based on the TCR repertoires. This may be accomplished by testing and analyzing results between two cohorts: patients presenting acutely to MCF with mild COVID-19 and patients presenting with severe COVID-19. This will be accomplished by utilizing the the immunoSEQ Human T-cell Receptor Beta (hsTCB) Assay (Adaptive Biothechnologies) and the publicly available ImmuneCODE Open Access Database to confirm previously published data (PMID: 34253751). Both procedures will be performed by the company that created both platforms, Adaptive Biothechnologies.

    The second aim of this study is to sequence the TCR receptors of participating patients and identify TCR motifs that may indicate a predisposition to (or protection from) severe SARS-CoV-2, leading to possible risk stratification of such patients, and whether or not age, gender or ethnicity has any contribution to said risk. This may require that we examine all three cohorts listed in the Subject Information section.

    The third aim is to measure SARS-CoV-2 anti-spike and anti-nucleocapsid antibodies to distinguish patients that have not been exposed to SARS-CoV-2 to those that have been exposed.
