As part of the federal government's National Institutes of Health (NIH), the National Eye Institute's mission is to "conduct and support research, training, health information dissemination, and other programs with respect to blinding eye diseases, visual disorders, mechanisms of visual function, preservation of sight, and the special health problems and requirements of the blind."
The Public Access Policy ensures that the public has access to the published results of NIH funded research to help advance science and improve human health. It requires scientists to submit final peer-reviewed journal manuscripts that arise from NIH funds to the digital archive PubMed Central upon acceptance for publication
This study is being conducted to gather medium and long-term information regarding the performance and safety of the commercially available DURALOC® Option Ceramic-on-Ceramic Hip Prosthesis System.
The objective of this study is to gather clinical and survivorship information for the C2a-Taper™ Acetabular System, a ceramic on ceramic hip articulating system
NICHD Center for Developmental Biology & Perinatal Medicine (CDBPM). The CDBPM supports scientists who are advancing fundamental and clinical knowledge about maternal health and problems of child development, including preterm labor and birth, intellectual and developmental disabilities, congenital and genetic disorders, fetal growth restriction, and other conditions. The Center and its programs aim to maximize human development, prevent diseases and disorders, and improve diagnoses, therapy, and clinical care.
Ongoing clinical trial sponsored by the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center to Evaluate the Effects of a Single Dose of Intravenous Premarin for the Treatment of Severe Traumatic Brain Injury
Completed study sponsored by Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development NICHD and conducted in two cities in Zambia to determine if the combined Neonatal Resuscitation Program/Essential Newborn Care Program compared to the new World Health Organization (W.H.O.) basic perinatal care education of health care providers (Essential Newborn Care Program) results in reduced mortality due to perinatal asphyxia
Ongoing study sponsored by the University of Utah to determine the percentage of patients presenting with dysphagia who are found to have eosinophilic esophagitis
(EoE) and to establish which presenting factors warrant esophageal biopsies.
Completed study examined tongue strength and endurance, how the tongue applies pressure during swallowing, and how the chin muscles react during swallowing in healthy volunteers and in patients with dysphagia (difficulty swallowing). The information from this study may be helpful in developing better treatments for people with swallowing problems
Completed study sponsored by Fortaleza Univerity with the purpose of describing functional endoscopic evaluation of swallowing findings in children with cerebral palsy.
Study to investigate the clinical results after different rehabilitation regimens(Limited or unlimited weightbearing after surgery) in Open-wedge High Tibial Osteotomies. The hypothesis is that unlimited weightbearing is beneficial for the healing and rehabilitation
Future planned study sponsored by Ullevaal University Hospital to find out whether 4 different protein sources affect the rate of gastric emptying and electrofysiology in study group of children
Study assessing Universal Ultrasound-screening for Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip. Study of specific measurements of the hip out of an AP Xray of pelvis to assess the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound imaging for DDH in newborns.
Completed study sponsored by University Hospital, Ghent assessing Pharmacokinetics of Enteral Omeprazole Suspension in Patients With Cerebral Palsy and Mental Retardation. Trial aims to compare the pharmacokinetics of omeprazole administered through the gastrostomy tube as a suspension in pediatric patients with cerebral palsy and mental retardation versus the pharmacokinetics of omeprazole administered as a multi-unit-pellet system (MUPS®).
Completed study sponsored by University of Bergen comparing immediate Treatment Compared With Active Sonographic Surveillance in the Management of Mild Hip Dysplasia in Newborn Infants: A Randomized, Controlled Trial
Conservative Versus Surgical Management of Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus. This study aims to provide class 1 evidence supporting or refuting the existence of normal pressure hydrocephalus
Study is to determine the predictive values and prognostic accuracies of CSF dynamic measures, the TAP -TEST (high-volume cerebrospinal fluid withdrawal), resistance to CSF outflow and compliance in the prediction of shunt-treatment outcome in patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus.
