Whole Blood in Trauma Patients
R
Rachel Rodriguez, MD
J
Jeremy Levin, MD
We seek to determine what ratio mitigates ongoing blood loss and thus transfusion need. Because the need for whole blood transfusion is not common across most trauma centers, we seek to perform a multicenter, prospective, observational study in order to enroll a sufficient number of patients to answer this question in a reasonably timely fashion.Primary Aim: To determine if there is a dose-response relationship between number of units ofwhole blood given and total transfusion need within the first 2, 4, 6, 12 and 24 hours following onset ofhemorrhage.Secondary Aim: To determine if there is a relationship between number of units of whole blood givenand need for mechanical ventilation, ICU/hospital length of stay, resolution of acidosis, normalization ofvesicoelastography and conventional coagulation indices, morbidity (as defined below) and death.

Healthy Volunteers Needed for MRI Brain Imaging Study
Q
Qiuting Wen
Why is this study being done?The purpose of this study is to image the brain using MRI. The brain naturally changes with age, but the causes behind these changes are largely unknown. We are developing new imaging technology to early detect small changes in the brain. The goal of our study is to increase our understanding of how the brain – specifically, its CSF flow dynamic – naturally changes with age. If proven successful, the new imaging tool can help early diagnose Alzheimer’s disease. Who can take part in this study?Healthy adults, ages 35 and older older, who do not have a history of neurodegenerative disorder, chemotherapy or radiation therapy, or previous brain surgery.
