Investigation of the Natural Progression of Clonal Hematopoiesis of Indeterminate Potential and Clonal Cytopenia of Undetermined Significance

Investigation of the Natural Progression of Clonal Hematopoiesis of Indeterminate Potential and Clonal Cytopenia of Undetermined Significance

Doctors at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are conducting a study on patients with Clonal Cytopenia of Uncertain Significance (CCUS). Patients with CCUS have low blood counts and a normal bone marrow exam but more advanced genetic testing shows the presence of a genetic mutation that is likely causing the low counts. The study will look at CCUS and try to determine its relationship to blood cancers and heart disease. The study will also try to discover other new organs or diseases it may be linked with.

Role of Genetic Factors in the Development of Lung Disease

Role of Genetic Factors in the Development of Lung Disease

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a progressive, genetic disease that causes persistent lung infections and over time limits the ability of individuals to breathe. Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are studying the infection, disease progression, and abnormal genes responsible for cystic fibrosis to better understand the disease process and its effects on breathing.

Role of Genetic Factors in the Development of Lung Disease

Role of Genetic Factors in the Development of Lung Disease

Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are studying if low dose CT scans are as effective as regular CT scans to monitor your disease status. Very low-dose scanning uses about 1/30th the amount of radiation as a regular CT scan.

Improved Methods of Cell Selection for Bone Marrow Transplant Alternatives

Improved Methods of Cell Selection for Bone Marrow Transplant Alternatives

Investigators at the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute are seeking healthy volunteers, 18-60 years old, who are interested in participating in a study to collect mobilized blood stem cells that will be used in the laboratory to develop new treatments for blood diseases.

Low-Dose Danazol for the Treatment of Telomere Related Diseases

Low-Dose Danazol for the Treatment of Telomere Related Diseases

Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are studying if the medication danazol can be used to treat people with short telomere disease who also have bone marrow failure, liver, or lung disease. In recent studies, danazol, at high doses, showed a positive influence on telomere length. Additional research is needed to learn more about the role of different doses of danazol on telomere disease as well as its effects on secondary diseases.

Tailoring Mobile Health Technology to Reduce Obesity and Improve Cardiovascular Health in Resource-Limited Neighborhood Environments

Tailoring Mobile Health Technology to Reduce Obesity and Improve Cardiovascular Health in Resource-Limited Neighborhood Environments

African-American women, ages 25-75, who are obese or overweight and pre-diabetic, are needed to participate in a research study at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. Researchers want to explore if the use of mobile technology and coaching can help increase physical activity.

Investigation of the Natural Progression of Clonal Hematopoiesis of Indeterminate Potential and Clonal Cytopenia of Undetermined Significance

Investigation of the Natural Progression of Clonal Hematopoiesis of Indeterminate Potential and Clonal Cytopenia of Undetermined Significance

Doctors at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are conducting a study on patients with clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP). Patients with CHIP have a genetic mutation that has been associated with blood cancer. The study will look at CHIP and try to determine its relationship to blood cancers and heart disease. The study will also try to discover other new organs or diseases that may be linked with.

Pilot Study for Geospatial Analysis of Neighborhood Environmental Stress in Relation to Biological Markers of Cardiovascular Health and Health Behaviors in Women

Pilot Study for Geospatial Analysis of Neighborhood Environmental Stress in Relation to Biological Markers of Cardiovascular Health and Health Behaviors in Women

Does your pace of life in the city affect your health? Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are conducting a study of two neighborhoods in Washington, D.C. in relationship to the environmental stress and the health behaviors of White and African American women. This research study will work to determine if there is a significant connection between neighborhood environment and the impact in women's health.
