Autologous Point-of-Care Adipose Therapy: Delayed Injury/Scar
The goal of this study is to explore if an adipose-based therapeutic strategy can treat contracted scars secondary to soft-tissue burn wounds in injured individuals, especially those with severe burns or soft-tissue loss. The main question it aims to answer are: - Can autologous layered composite grafting demonstrate non-inferiority compared to full-thickness skin grafting for delayed reconstruction of post-burn or trauma scar contracture? Researchers will compare the single-stage autologous layered composite grafting method to traditional methods to see if it improves healing outcomes, minimizes scarring, and reduces infection risk. Participants will: - ...

Autologous Point-of-Care Adipose Therapy: Recent Injury
The goal of this study is to explore if an adipose-based therapeutic strategy can treat full-thickness soft-tissue trauma wounds in injured individuals, especially those with severe burns or soft-tissue loss. The main question it aims to answer are: - Can immediate autologous adipose and autologous layered composite grafting be effective for acute functional soft-tissue reconstruction? Researchers will compare the single-stage autologous layered composite grafting method to traditional methods to see if it improves healing outcomes, minimizes scarring, and reduces infection risk. Participants will: - Receive immediate fat grafting into the wound. - ...

BAFF CAR-T Cells (LMY-920) for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
This phase 1 study seeks to examine the safety and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of BAFF-ligand CAR-T cells (LMY-920) in adult patients with refractory systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). It is hypothesized that BAFF CAR-T cells will be safe and will improve SLE disease activity scores.

BFRT for Subacromial Pain
The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to learn if blood flow restriction training is safe and feasible in patients with subacromial pain. The main questions the investigators aim to answer are: - What problems do participants with shoulder pain encounter when training with blood flow restriction? - Is it feasible to apply blood flow restriction training as part of a physical therapy intervention? - What are some preliminary effects of blood flow restriction training on the recovery of shoulder function and strength? The investigators will compare active blood flow restriction training to sham (an inactive procedure designed to mimic the active...

Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate Versus Triamcinolone Injection For Hip Osteoarthritis
This is a single site, randomized single blinded, two arm study researching the effects of bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) versus Triamcinolone in patients with hip osteoarthritis. The aims and hypothesis are as follows: Specific Aim 1: Evaluate the change in pain and functional scores of a single bone marrow aspirate injection in comparison to triamcinolone in patients with hip osteoarthritis through validated patient reported outcomes scores at baseline to 12 months (6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months). Hypothesis: The investigators hypothesize that triamcinolone and BMAC groups will have pain reduction after each respective intervention. The changes with...

Bone Stimulator for Spondylolysis
This prospective study aims to investigate the effectiveness of bone stimulator therapy as adjunct treatment of spondylolysis in athletic populations. By evaluating its impact on pain reduction, functional improvement, osseous bony union and return-to-sport time, the investigators seek to provide valuable insights into the role of bone stimulation therapy as a potential treatment modality for this challenging condition.

Ceftriaxone for Post-Treatment Lyme Disease
Lyme disease is a public health crisis in the US. It is estimated that over 400,000 cases occur every year with 10-20% of those infected going on to develop Post-Treatment Lyme disease Syndrome (PTLDS). The goal of this study is to investigate if giving Ceftriaxone every 5 days for about 6 weeks kills the organism that produces persistent Lyme infection. Enrolled participants will be randomized 1:1 receiving either pulse-dosed ceftriaxone or placebo [dextrose (5% in water), (D5W)], intravenously. Participants will be evaluated at each of the study visits, and then in a follow-up phase out to 12 months. They will be unblinded at 6 months and those randomized to the placebo group...

Changes in Cerebral Oxygenation Related to Intraoperative Position Changes
This is a prospective, observational study. This study will assess the effect of temporary changes in body position (supine, head of bed elevated 30 degrees, head of bed elevated 60 degrees) in anesthetized patients. Tissue oxygenation will be assessed non-invasively using near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) by a device that is used in our operating rooms and the ICU setting to assess cerebral and tissue oxygenation.
