NCT02638194
The primary purpose of this study is to examine the health effects of mainstream and secondhand hookah (i.e. water pipe) smoke on pulmonary and cardiovascular functions as well as serum levels of inflammatory biomarkers. Investigators would like to demonstrate that inhalation of both mainstream and secondhand smoke generated by hookah produces adverse pulmonary and cardiovascular effects and alterations in serum levels of inflammatory biomarkers.
NCT00000607
To conduct a randomized, unblinded clinical trial comparing the left ventricular assist device (LVAD) with maximum medical management in patients with end-stage heart failure who were not candidates for heart transplantation.
NCT00005739
To compare alternative methods to ensure completion of treatment and preventive therapy for tuberculosis (TB) in inner cities, and to identify the most cost-effective methods to accomplish that. The basis for comparison included adherence rates and cost savings as primary outcomes, and other parameters such as patient satisfaction, development of social networks, and participation in support programs as secondary outcomes. Two clinical trials were conducted with patients from Harlem. Among those with active disease, a clinic-based surrogate family model was compared to traditional community-based directly observed therapy (DOT). Among those eligible for preventive therapy, a community-based intervention conducted by trained graduates of a TB DOT program (peer workers) was compared to traditional self-administered preventive treatment.
