The Division of Kidney Urology and Hematology Disease (DKUHD) of the National Institute of
Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) funded a cooperative agreement (UO1) for
a consortium of participating clinical centers (PCCs) and a data coordinating and imaging
analysis center (DCIAC) to develop and implement studies to test whether imaging techniques
can prov...

Background:
- Antiretroviral therapy has increased the lifespan of people with human immunodeficiency
virus (HIV), but recent research suggests that people with HIV also have an increased risk
of developing cardiovascular disease. To better understand the prevalence and effects of
heart disease in people with HIV, researchers are interested in comparing heart imaging an...

This study will examine a new approach to treating patient with severe systemic lupus
erythematosus (SLE) that involves collecting stem cells (cells produced by the bone marrow
that develop into blood cells) from the patient, completely shutting down the patient's
immune system, and then giving back the patient's stem cells. SLE is a chronic,
inflammatory disorder of th...

The purpose of this study is three-fold: 1) to examine the ability of the experimental drug
tariquidar to improve chemotherapy results by blocking a protein (P-glycoprotein) on some
cancer cells that acts to pump out cancer drugs; 2) examine how tariquidar interacts with
the cancer drug docetaxel; and 3) evaluate the effectiveness of combination treatment with
tariquidar...

This study will examine the safety and effectiveness of stem cell transplantation for
treating patients with sarcomas (tumors of the bone, nerves, or soft tissue). Stem cells are
immature cells in the bone marrow and blood stream that develop into blood cells. Stem cells
transplanted from a healthy donor travel to the patient's bone marrow and begin producing
normal cell...

Treatment of patients with one cycle of induction chemotherapy to select for organ
preservation of the larynx has been proven as a standard approach. When compared to
historical controls. The investigators propose to study patients with a similar treatment
strategy (i.e. one cycle of induction chemotherapy followed by two more chemotherapy cycles,
in advanced nodal disea...

This study is designed to compare traditional Colonoscopy with CT Colonography, commonly
known as "virtual colonoscopy". The study will compare the ability of both procedures as
screening tests to identify polyps in the colon in patients at average risk for developing
polyps. The patient preferences for each procedure will be assessed by means of a
standardized questionn...

Renal atherosclerotic stenosis (RAS) is a prevalent cause of secondary hypertension (HT).
Since there are still uncertainties as to whether and in what patients revascularization by
means of percutaneous renal angioplasty (PTRAS) should be pursued, we designed a study
exploiting an optimized patient selection strategy and using hard experimental endpoints to
unravel thes...

The VRI technology provides a radiation free dynamic image of the lung, by using a
combination of well-known technologies, i.e. acoustic sensors, and a proprietary algorithm.
The aim of the study is to determine if the VRI examination may contribute to the diagnosis
and follow up of pneumonia in children, and therefore reduce the number of chest radiographs
and the expos...

Several studies have indicated that [124I]-PET/CT or [18F]-FDG-PET/CT may be useful to
locate recurrent differentiated thyroid carcinoma lesions in patients with elevated
thyroglobulin levels but who do not show pathological lesions when conventional imaging
modalities are used. Thus, the investigators evaluated the effectiveness of PET/CT using
both [124I] and [18F]-FDG...
