6 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The investigators hypothesize that children receiving human milk will maintain a greater diversity of helpful bacteria in their gut and have lower levels of inflammatory proteins in the blood compared with children not receiving human milk.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate bone mineral density and muscle strength in survivors of bone marrow transplant. Association with age, type of transplant, steroids, years since transplant, body composition, endocrinopathies, radiation, quality of life and physical activity will be explored.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with bone marrow transplantation may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of bone marrow transplantation in treating patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if giving cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) can help control CMV when it reactivates (becomes active again) in patients who receive an allogeneic stem cell transplant. Researchers also want to learn about the safety of giving CTLs to patients who have had a stem cell transplant.
The goal of this research study is to test the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of using a virtual reality (VR) psychosocial intervention for improving quality of life and psychological distress in patients hospitalized for bone marrow transplantation (BMT). Participants will be randomly assigned into one of the study groups: the virtual reality psychosocial intervention (BMT-VR) + usual care versus usual care alone. The BMT-VR intervention has several components: 1. Psychoeducation to enhance preparedness, manage expectations, and mobilize social supports. 2. Psychosocial skill building to promote effective coping and facilitate acceptance while living with uncertainty of treatment outcomes. 3. Self-care to promote effective coping and enhance patient's sense of control as they transition from inpatient to outpatient care
