Adipose-Derived Stem Cell Injections for Knee Osteoarthritis
This is a non-surgical trial comparing the clinical and functional outcomes of patients with osteoarthritis treated with Intra-articular injection of autologous Adipose-Derived Stem Cells (ADSC) combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) versus conventional therapy of Intra-articular injection of corticosteroid.

Adipose Stem/Stromal Cells in RSD, CRPS, Fibromyalgia
Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD), Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), Causalgia, and Fibromyalgia represent progressive systemic pain conditions which often worsen over time. They appear to be dysregulation of the central nervous system (CNS) and the autonomic system (sympathetic/parasympathetic) which cause extensive functional losses, impairment, and disabilities. They are often associated with injury sites (including surgical) which produce constant, often disabling pain and motor-sensory losses. Treatments are often ineffective and include medications (often high dose opiates), Physical Therapy (PT), and surgical interventions...

Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) Gold Standard for Blood Loss
The purpose of this study is to establish a benchmark for measuring blood loss by directly measuring the change in red cell volume before and after surgery and to compare established blood loss estimators to this benchmark in order to determine the most accurate and precise method for estimating blood loss in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis surgery patients

Adult and Juvenile Myositis
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...

Advanced Materials Science in XLIF Study
This study is being conducted to evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of three different interbody implant types when used with cancellous allograft chips with BMA or cellular allograft in patients undergoing XLIF surgery. The study will evaluate success by comparing the rate of fusion, complications profile, and any relationships between clinical outcomes (pain and function) and radiographic outcomes (fusion rate) between the three implant groups.

Aerobic Exercise in Women With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background: As many as 1.5 million Americans are living with systemic lupus erythematosus (Lupus). Lupus makes people very tired. It also makes it hard for people to be physically active. Studies have shown that aerobic exercise training helps people with heart or lung illnesses be less tired and more active. Researchers want to use an exercise training program on people with Lupus to see if it has the same results. Objectives: To find out if aerobic exercise helps people with Lupus be less tired and more active. Eligibility: Women ages 21-80 who have Lupus and are not physically active. Design: Participants...

Agili-C™ Implant Performance Evaluation
The current study compares the efficacy and safety of the Agili-C implant to Surgical Standard of Care treatment in patients suffering from joint surface lesions of the knee. The patient population is heterogeneous, involving different kinds of joint surface lesions: focal cartilage lesions, osteochondral defects and mild to moderate osteoarthritis, including multiple defects.
