NCT01928758
The overall aim of this project is to evaluate the effect of progressive nicotine reduction in cigarettes on smoking behavior, toxin exposure and psychiatric symptoms in smokers with comorbid mood and/or anxiety disorders. Smokers with mood and/or anxiety disorder will smoke research cigarettes that will contain either a) nicotine content similar to their preferred usual brand of cigarettes, or b) nicotine content per cigarette that is progressively reduced from approximately 11.6 mg to 0.2 mg per cigarette over 18 weeks. It is our hypothesis that nicotine intake will decline as a function of cigarette nicotine content in the Reduced Nicotine Content group without significant increases in tobacco smoke exposure, severity of nicotine withdrawal symptoms, mood and anxiety symptomatology or protocol non-adherence over time in the Reduced Nicotine Content group as compared with the control group.

NCT03264183
Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is becoming a more prevalent method of monitoring and diagnosis in the perioperative setting for critically ill patients and patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Many TEE measurements are extrapolated from transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) data and have not validated by transesophageal means. The aim of this study is to validate TEE assessment of right ventricular function by comparing them to simultaneously measured TTE measurements. Likewise, there are currently no agreed upon values for RV free wall strain. Therefore, the investigators will attempt to define a range of normal values of RV free wall strain as compared to the other measures of RV function.
