Sildenafil for the Treatment of Lymphatic Malformations
Lymphatic MalformationsLymphatic DiseasesA Phase 2 study to evaluate safety and efficacy of sildenafil taken orally to improve or resolve lymphatic malformations in children. Subjects may receive either placebo or treatment in an oral dosage with an open label extension for subjects who received placebo. The study treatment assignment will be randomized in a double blind fashion. MRI examination will evaluate change in lesion volume due to treatment. Other safety and efficacy measures will be taken through the 32-week study duration. Funding Source - FDA OOPD
Can Myotonometry Quantify Dry Needling Effectiveness on Myofascial Trigger Points?
Muscle Tone AbnormalitiesThe main objective of this study is to assess effects of Dry Needling into Myofascial Trigger Point compared Dry Needling into Taut Band point based on the outcomes of myotnometric measurement in healthy subjects. Hypothesis: Deep Dry Needling of the latent medial Myofascial Trigger Point (MTrP) of the soleus muscle will achieve changes in myotonometric measures compared to Deep Dry Needling of the Taut Band of the soleus muscle.
The Use of Music for Neonates Post-Cardiac Surgery
Heart DefectsCongenitalThe purpose of this study is to explore the feasibility of implementing nurse-led music therapy in a cohort of neonates admitted to the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU) post congenital heart surgery. In the proposed setting, the use of a standardized nurse-led music therapy protocol for post-operative neonates would build upon current successful nurse-led efforts to wean sedatives and opioid use for patients admitted to the CICU. The investigators believe data generated from this exploratory feasibility study may serve to further inform a larger study involving the use of music therapy in the cardiac intensive care.

Systemic and Local Diffusion of Ethanol After Administration of Ethanol 96% Formulated in a Gel...
Congenital Venous MalformationAbsolute ethanol has been used "off-label" as an unmodified formulation (solution) in Congenital Venous Malformations (CVM). Despite its effectiveness, absolute ethanol appears difficult to handle because of its high diffusion capacity outside the CVM and in the blood circulation. A less diffusible ethanol-based product (ethanol gel) has been developed in order to minimize systemic and local diffusion capacities of ethanol. Therefore, the pharmacokinetic parameters and their clinical and paraclinical outcomes between ethanol gel 96% and absolute ethanol need to be carried out.
