1. Research to Test Whether Doing Exercise Training Helps Lessen or Prevent the Longer-term Symptoms of COVID-19 Infection

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The objectives of this study are to assess the ‘longer-term’ clinical, pulmonary, cardiac, functional, and psychosocial sequelae of COVID-19 survivorship, and to investigate whether exercise therapy enhances recovery of and/or improves pulmonary and cardiac function, exercise capacity, clinical status, and overall HRQoL in COVID-19 survivors.

    

    

2. A Study to Analyze Potential Long-term Treatments for Covid-19 Recovery

   Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   This study aims to further understand the extent of long term effects of COVID-19 via batteries of self-assessment questionnaires focused on the most common complications of SARS-COVID 19 infections including respiratory and cardiovascular symptoms, frailty, fatigue, exercise capacity, cognitive and emotional functionality, and overall quality of life. Furthermore, we will investigate the impact of 4 weeks of respiratory muscle training and nasal breathing on the above mentioned long-term Covid-19 disease complications.

    

3. 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).

    

    

    

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. A Study to Evaluate Positive SARS-CoV-2 Antibodies in Subjects with Bipolar Disorder

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical and neurocognitive correlates of COVID-19 in patients with bipolar disorder (BD). 

6. 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).

7. 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. 

8. Development of Potential COVID-19 Vaccine and Serological Assay

   Rochester, Minn.

   Our group has explored the use of genomic RNA/phage display libraries derived from primary human malignant melanoma cells as a means of identifying antibody detectable targets on cancer cells (cancer vaccines or antibody guided therapeutics).  In this approach, we isolate and affinity-column immobilize the IgG fraction from patient serum before and after immune therapy for melanoma, and expose the immobilized antibodies to bacteriophage expressing approximately 2x109 overlapping cDNA sequences of paired (same patient derived plasma and cancer cells) melanoma genomic RNA.  Phage, expressing melanoma cDNA express the proteins/peptides on their capsid are “recognized” by the immobilized antibodies are retained in the column, and subsequently eluted for DNA sequencing.  Comparison of the DNA profiles of the eluted phage using pre-immunotherapy and post-immunotherapy patient sera will reveal emergence of new antibodies (post-immunotherapy gain of antibodies) against proteins of potential interest for melanoma targeting.  In the current proposal, we hypothesize that reacting COVID serum from patients that have recovered from COVID infection and compare to non-infected self-serum (if available) and control healthy volunteer serum (available in our lab) may identify protein targets that have developed as a result of the COVID infection and could be useful in the development of a COVID vaccine as well as a serologic test for anti-COVID immunity. 

9. 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).

10. A Study to Evaluate the Characteristics and Role of Mucosal Microbiome after Treatment of Clostridium-difficile Infection

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to characterize the mucosal microbiome in patients who have recently been treated for Clostridium-difficile Infection (CDI) in comparison to that of control population to determine the effect of the mucosal associated microbiome on outcome of CDI.
