1. A Study to Evaluate the Use of a Smartphone App for Stroke Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of a smartphone app for stroke patients with obstructive sleep apnea in order to better use their positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy.

2. Assessment of Sleep Disorder Breathing Risk in Patients with Scleroderma

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to retrospectively review the charts of 200 patients for whom overnight oximetry data, pulmonary function tests, as well as echocardiographic data have been obtained as part of routine clinical assessment. In so doing, the hope is to assess the risk of sleep disorder breathing, as evidenced by the oxygen desaturation index (ODI) on overnight oximetry assessment.

3. A Study to Evaluate Sleep for Stroke Management and Recovery

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine whether treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with positive airway pressure starting shortly after acute ischemic stroke or high risk TIA (1) reduces recurrent stroke, acute coronary syndrome, and all-cause mortality 6 months after the event, and (2) improves stroke outcomes at 3 months in patients who experienced an ischemic stroke.

4. A Prospective Registry for Patients with REM Sleep Behavior Disorder and Polysomnographic REM Sleep without Atonia and Controls

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to follow patients with REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) over time and learn which types of RBD patients may be at risk of developing other diseases.

5. A Phase 3 Efficacy And Safety Study Of Pitolisant In Patients With Prader-Willi Syndrome

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of pitolisant on Excessive daytime sleepiness in patients with Prader-Willi syndrome.

6. Creation of a Longitudinal Biospecimen Repository From Patients With Interstitial Lung Diseases (ILD)

   Rochester, Minn.

   To develop a repository of blood, urine and tissue samples from patients with ILD to support future studies into the development of such biomarkers.

7. Detection of Vascular and Inflammatory Plasma Biomarkers in Patients Diagnosed with Obstructive Sleep Apnea and MRI-defined Cerebral Small Vessel Disease

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate plasma biomarkers of vascular function and inflammation in patients with newly-diagnosed Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and pre-existing imaging evidence of Cerebral Small Vessel Disease (CSVD).

8. Assessment of the Mechanical Properties of Lung Parenchyma using Magnetic Resonance Elastography

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this research study is testing a new technique for measuring stiffness of the lung. This new technique is called Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE). In this study we will look at the stiffness measurements in humans.

9. Obstructive Sleep Apnea Among Somali-Americans

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to advance the understanding of obstructive sleep apnea as it relates to different ethnic origins as well as sex differences. The investigators will compare Somali patients with known obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) to individuals without OSA, and to individuals of other ethnic/racial origins to determine the risk factors (genetic and/or physiologic) associated with developing cardiovascular diseases. This will help the investigators to understand the unique sleep pathology of individuals of African descent.

10. A Study to Assess Frailty and Its Impact on Patients with Pulmonary Hypertension

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to evaluate the prevalence and effect of frailty in patients referred to pulmonary hypertension (PH) clinic at our institution.
