NCT03391141
This study aims to validate whether the pattern of airway collapse recorded during Drug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy (DISE) mirrors that of natural sleep, and to develop a model for airway collapse. Sensors will be placed in subjects' upper airways during DISE and then during in-lab sleep studies. The sleep study results will be compared with OR findings to create an aerodynamic model for natural sleep and to assess whether airway observations during DISE were valid representations of natural sleep.
NCT01516788
Photosensitivity is well documented among lupus patients and is one of the diagnostic criteria for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Photosensitivity is highly prevalent in lupus and has a wide range of clinical presentations. However, photosensitivity is a poorly defined in lupus and its pathogenesis is not well understood. The purpose of this study is to characterize the early clinical and histopathological changes in lupus skin that occur as a response to ultraviolet light.
NCT04133350
This is a prospective, single-arm, unblinded pilot study and registry that aims to demonstrate adherence to adaptive servo-ventilation (ASV) therapy in patients with moderate to severe sleep disordered breathing who have been recently hospitalized. ASV therapy has been linked to improved outcomes in this population, but adherence to therapy is low. The AirCurve 10 ASV device that will be used for this study employs newer technologies, such as web-based monitoring and provides patients feedback, which may increase therapy adherence and therefore improve patient outcomes.
