Pathogenetic Basis of Aortopathy and Aortic Valve Disease
AortopathiesThoracic Aortic Aneurysm17 moreThe main purpose of this study is to define the complex genetic and pathogenic basis of thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) and other forms of aortopathy and/or aortic valve disease by identifying novel disease-causing genes and by identifying important genetic modifiers for aortic and aortic valve disease severity.
Evaluation of the Ulthera® System for Treatment of the Face and Neck
WrinklesRhytids1 moreUp to 15 subjects will be enrolled. Enrolled subjects will receive one Ulthera® treatment on the face and neck. Follow-up visits will occur at 45, 90 and 180 days post-treatment. Study images will be obtained pre-treatment, immediately post-treatment, and at each follow-up visit.
Simulines Non-Inferiority Pivotal Study
Skin LaxityUp to 260 subjects presenting with skin laxity on the face and neck will be randomized to one of two treatment groups. Subjects meeting all entrance criteria will receive study treatment, then complete two post treatment phone contacts and follow-up study visits at 90, 180 and 365 days post treatment. Study images will be obtained pre-treatment, immediately post-treatment, and at each follow-up visit for qualitative and quantitative assessments of efficacy.

Topical Bimatoprost for Chemical Blepharoplasty
DermatochalasisTopical bimatoprost has been shown to cause periorbital changes of soft tissue which are most pronounced when used directly onto the cornea for the treatment of glaucoma. Changes are primarily felt to be the result of prostaglandin-mediated adipocyte loss, resulting in deepening of the upper eyelid sulcus and recession of infraorbital pseudoherniation. Use of topical bimatoprost to the upper eyelid margin, now FDA approved for eyelash enhancement, may provide a metered effect on the periocular tissues and allow for a topical approach to periocular rejuvenation. This is a proof of concept study which aims to enroll a series of patients with mild to severe dermatochalasis, treat with topical bimatoprost 0.03% solution to the upper lid margin, and evaluate for cosmetic improvement of the periocular area.
