This study will evaluate subjects with adult- and childhood-onset myositis to learn more about their cause and the immune system changes and medical problems associated with them. Myositis is an inflammatory muscle disease that can damage muscles and other organs, resulting in significant disability. Children or adults with polymyositis or dermatomyositis or a related condition may be evaluated under this study. Healthy children or adults will also be enrolled as "controls," for comparison of test results. All patients will undergo a complete history (including completing some questionnaires) and physical examination, review of medical records, and blood and urine tests....
The Viper Prime/Expedium spine systems are intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of acute and chronic instabilities or deformities of the thoracolumbar and sacral spine. The Fibergraft Bioactive Glass (BG) is engineered to mimic the body's natural bone healing process. While previous studies have compared the use of Viper prime/Expedium spine system in minimally invasive and open surgeries, these studies did not specifically study the clinical and radiographic outcomes of patients who have received these implants in addition to Fibergraft. We aim to recruit patients...
The goal of this study is to confirm the safety and performance of the AETOS Shoulder System for USA adoption. This is a prospective, open, adaptive, non-comparative, multi-centre investigation enrolling a maximum of 220 subjects in 2 cohorts (anatomic and reverse) at up to 15 sites. No intra-study comparator group will be included, and there will be no randomization
Exercise is very important for living healthier and longer lives. For people with obesity and osteoarthritis, exercise is even more important because it can help them feel less pain in their joints. Also, the more intense the exercise is, the larger the health benefits will be. The most common ways to exercise are running and riding a stationary bicycle. However, these two types of exercise can cause problems for people with obesity and osteoarthritis. Fast running creates large loads in the knees because of the impact of the foot on the ground. On the other hand, studies in cycling show limited improvement in pain because cycling does not allow the feet to move freely, which is...
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the safety and effect of bone marrow-derived stem cells for the treatment of low back pain.
A Basket Trial of Refractory Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), Sjögren's Disease (SjD), Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies (IIMs) and Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) subjects to evaluate the safety and efficacy of AlloNK, a non-genetically modified allogeneic NK cell, in combination with rituximab.
This real-world, observational registry captures structured data on chronic wounds and ulcers from 1,482 practitioners across all 50 U.S. states and Puerto Rico. Data are collected at the point of care through electronic health records (EHRs) or electronic data capture (EDC) systems and transmitted daily to the U.S. Wound Registry (USWR), a CMS-recognized Qualified Clinical Data Registry (QCDR). The registry supports quality improvement and comparative effectiveness research by providing insight into patient demographics, treatment patterns, and outcomes across a wide range of wound types and interventions.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate long-term safety of subcutaneous guselkumab in pediatric participants with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis, or moderately to severely active Crohn's disease, or juvenile psoriatic arthritis (jPsA).
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of dazodalibep.
The purpose of this study is to collect long-term safety data of subcutaneous (SC) ustekinumab
