109 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
Premenopausal Women ages 18-42 will undergo a laparoscopic myomectomy. Prior to the myomectomy, adhesions will be assessed using a modified AFS scoring technique. All investigators will provide usual and customary care to research subjects during the first look laparoscopy. This includes the use of all standard practice anti-adhesive agents and heparinized irrigation fluids.V-Loc 180 suture will be utilized in all patients. All patients will then be evaluated by means of a second look laparoscopy (SLL) 6-12 weeks after the initial surgery and reevaluated via modified American Fertility Society scoring techniques. An independent reviewer will also score adhesions utilize a video recording made from the second look laparoscopic surgery. Patients will be contacted both 1 and 4 weeks post -op and assessed for complications. It is the expectation that patients will show no greater post-operative adhesion formation and a \<1% complication rate. Time and ease of suturing will also be evaluated. It is expected that the V-Loc suturing technique will show significantly reduced suturing time, be easier to use, and will be associated with minimal adhesions.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ADHEXIL™ in preventing and/or reducing post-operative adhesions in patients undergoing surgery involving the ovaries.
Adhesion formation is a result of abdominal and pelvic surgery and is a cause of such diseases as chronic pain syndrome, bowel obstruction and infertility. Both patients and surgeons suffer when adhesions are encountered, since the surgery becomes more intense, lengthy, and complicated. Seprafilm® has been shown to limit the formation of adhesions in gynecologic and abdominal surgery. Limited data is available on the effectiveness of Seprafilm® in the prevention of abdominal wall and pelvic adhesions at the time of cesarean section. Adhesions at the time of repeat cesarean make the surgery frustrating and complex, with difficult lysis of adhesions being the cause of morbidities such as bladder damage, increased blood loss, and longer operating times. The objective of this definitive project is to define the extent of reduction of adhesion formation of Seprafilm® when used at the time of primary cesarean section. Women undergoing primary cesarean section will be randomized for Seprafilm® application, and the incidence and grade of adhesions at repeat cesarean will be determined.
A multicenter, randomized, controlled, single blinded study to evaluate the effectiveness of Seprafilm® Adhesion Barrier in reducing adhesion formation in cesarean deliveries.

The primary objective of this extension study is to assess the long-term safety and efficacy of AVTX-803 in subjects with LAD II (SLC35C1-CDG).
Aortic stenosis (AS) is a serious and common condition that affects 2-3% of the population \>65 years of age in Western countries. It is also responsible for extraordinarily high healthcare expenditures, estimated to be over $6 billion annually,2 in part because the primary treatment for severe AS is aortic valve replacement (AVR) which is resource-intensive. Valve abnormalities are frequently recognized before AS becomes severe, or before there is need for guideline-directed procedural intervention, thereby providing an opportunity for pharmacologic intervention to slow disease progression. Yet, all attempts to prevent AS progression in those with degenerative non-congenital forms of disease have failed. The only non-procedural intervention that benefits patients with moderate or greater AS is the aggressive treatment of hypertension, which reduces net left ventricular (LV) afterload (valvulo-arterial impedance \[Zva\]) and can slow secondary LV remodeling. The overall goal of this proposal is to integrate advanced imaging and vascular biology to study how von Willebrand factor (VWF) and platelet adhesion promote AS progression through many parallel pathways, thereby representing a potential therapeutic target. We are hypothesizing that blood markers of abnormal VWF proteolysis and platelet-derived factors, and abnormal valve shear patterns which can be detected by advanced analysis of spectral Doppler on echocardiography are predictors for progressive AS.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of AVTX-803 compared to withdrawal in patients with Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency, Type II (LAD II).

Background: The disease leukocyte adhesion deficiency type 1 (LAD1) affects white blood cells. Those are immune system cells. In people with LAD1, white blood cells do not properly communicate with the rest of the body. This causes uncontrolled inflammation, particularly in the gums. People with LAD1 can get frequent infections and tend to lose their teeth before adulthood. Researchers want to see if a drug called ustekinumab helps people with LAD1. Objective: To study the safety and tolerability of ustekinumab in treating gum inflammation in people with LAD1. Eligibility: People ages 12 65 with LAD1 Design: Participants will be screened with: * Medical history * Physical exam * Oral exam * A scan of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis for possible infection * Blood and urine tests The baseline visit will take 2 days. Participants will: * Repeat most screening tests * Have a skin exam * Have small pieces of their gums removed (biopsy) * Have mouth fluids collected * Get the study drug injected under the skin of the abdomen, thigh, or elsewhere on the body. They will be watched for at least 2 hours. Participants will be instructed on tracking how they are feeling and any side effects. Participants will have 4 more visits over 40 weeks. They will get the study drug and repeat the baseline tests. Participants may have up to 5 more tissue biopsies. Participants will be called between visits to discuss how they are feeling and side effects. Participants will have a final visit 52 weeks after the baseline. They will repeat most of the baseline tests. Participants will answer questions about their oral ulcers.
