Rate of Total Joint Infection 90-day After Surgery Following Irrigation With Next Science No-Rinse Solution vs SOC Alone
A prospective, single-site, double-arm, parallel, interventional, randomized, controlled clinical trial to assess 90-day rate of joint infections in subjects undergoing primary hip replacements after administration of Next Science No-Rinse Solution (hereby referred to as NS) vs SOC (saline irrigation). The Next Science treatment arm will exhibit greater reduction in rate of 90-day post-operative joint infection than SOC (saline) arm

REACT-01: Reversing Autoimmunity Through Cell Therapy
This is a phase 1, open-label, non-randomized study enrolling pediatric and young adult research participants with treatment-refractory Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), to examine the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of administering T cell products derived from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) that have been genetically modified to express CD19 specific chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) A child or young adult meeting all eligibility criteria and meeting none of the exclusion criteria will have their T cells collected. The T cells will then be bioengineered into a CAR T cell that targets circulating and tissue residing B cells.

Real-component Vs All-cement Articulating Spacers for Periprosthetic Knee Infection
In the US, if an infection in an artificial knee joint doesn't heal with antibiotics alone, the standard treatment is a two-stage revision of the artificial knee. In the first stage, the surgeon will remove the artificial knee and clean out the area around the knee. They will then place an antibiotic spacer. An antibiotic spacer is a type of artificial joint that will release antibiotics into the knee space continuously over time. The spacer allows only very basic function of the knee. The patient may need to use crutches or a walker while the antibiotic spacer is in place. After surgery to place the antibiotic spacer, the surgeon may prescribe a course of antibiotics as well....

Real-World Registry Study on Patient Satisfaction With TransLoc 3D SI Joint Fusion
This is a multi-center, consecutive enrollment registry study to evaluate patient satisfaction post SI Fusion with the TransLoc 3D SI Fusion System.

Recording of Intraoperative Spinal Cord Stimulation and Monitoring
Opioid overdose suppresses brainstem respiratory circuits, causes apnea, and may result in death. Epidural electrical stimulation (EES) at the cervical spinal cord facilitated motor activity in rodents and humans, and we hypothesized that EES of the cervical spinal cord could antagonize opioid-induced respiratory depression in humans. In this study, we will stimulate the spinal cord during surgery and assess its effects on respiratory function in human patients.

Reduced Intensity Conditioning for Non-Malignant Disorders Undergoing UCBT, BMT or PBSCT
The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of using a reduced-intensity condition (RIC) regimen with umbilical cord blood transplant (UCBT), double cord UCBT, matched unrelated donor (MUD) bone marrow transplant (BMT) or peripheral blood stem cell transplant (PBSCT) in patients with non-malignant disorders that are amenable to treatment with hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). After transplant, subjects will be followed for late effects and for ongoing graft success.

Reducing Perioperative Oxidative Stress to Prevent Postoperative Chronic Pain Following Total Knee Arthroplasty
This is a prospective randomized controlled trial that will assess preoperative, perioperative, and long-term oxidative stress (OS); pain; and functional outcomes over a 12 month period and test the hypothesis that a potent antioxidant intervention (glycine + N-acetyl-cysteine(GlyNAC)) reduces oxidative stress and chronic post surgical pain (CPSP) in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

REFINE Study: A Study In a Novel Interspinous Fusion Device In Subjects With Low Back Pain
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the use of Aurora Spine ZIP™ MIS Interspinous Fusion System and bone graft material in fusion in patients with chronic low back pain that present with degenerative disc disease with concurrent neurogenic claudication.

Regional Anesthesia in Minimally Invasive Lumbar Spine Surgery
Opioid overuse is a widespread public health crisis in the United States with increasing rates of addiction and overdose deaths from prescription opioids. Reducing the need for opiate analgesics in the post-operative setting has become a high priority in minimizing long-term opioid use in surgical patients. This study will serve to demonstrate the efficacy of the addition of regional analgesic techniques in reducing post-operative opioid requirements in patients undergoing common lumbar spinal surgical procedures.

Regulation of Mucosal Healing in Inflammatory Bowel Disease
The objective of the current study is to compare non-healing colonic ulcers in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) with iatrogenic colonic ulcers (biopsy sites) in healthy control patients and patients with rheumatoid or psoriatic arthritis. Patients will be biopsied at baseline and again at a follow-up visit in a "biopsy of the biopsy" approach. These biopsies will be used to reveal patterns about gene expression and mitochondrial function during ulcer healing.
