-
Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is to assess the outcome of prosthetic joint infection (PJI) treated with various therapeutic regimens using a prospective cohort study.
-
Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this trial is to examine the effect of Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) compared with Vancomycin for cure of recurrent C. diff infection (CDI) in solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients in a randomized, controlled clinical trial.
-
Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is to study HIV infected individuals or others who have had another infection or inflammatory condition that may affect the content or structure of lymph nodes or may have none of these conditions and the sample will be used as a normal control.
-
Rochester, Minn.
Compare Patient-Collected Saliva and Health Care Worker Collected Nasopharyngeal and Nasal Mid-Turbinate Swabs for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Detection by nucleic acid amplification testing (NAAT). All tests will be performed using previously-validated, EUA NAATs that are available in the Clinical Microbiology laboratory, including the Mayo Clinic laboratory developed test (LDT).
-
Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.
The purpose of this study is to measure the rates of continuing viral presence, following anti-viral therapy with combined Peg-Interferon and Ribavirin in patients that have had a liver transplant, are immune suppressed with Neoral or tacrolimus, and have a recurring infection with the Hepatitis C virus.
-
Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.
A Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Ombitasvir/ABT-450/Ritonavir and Dasabuvir in Adults with Genotype 1b Chronic Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Infection and Cirrhosis.
-
Rochester, Minn.
The aim of this study is to create a standard set of outcome parameters which can be adopted nationwide from which to gauge outcomes in Prosthetic Joint Infections (PJI).
-
Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.
The purpose of this study is to collect residual (waste) blood, urine, and stool specimens remaining from clinician order testing and corresponding clinical and patient provided data from COVID-19 patients with confirmed or suspected infection with the novel SARS-CoV-2 virus to enable high quality research.
-
Rochester, Minn.
The overall objective of this proposal is to conduct a systematic approach to dissect both genetic underpinnings and non-genetic factors in the development of adult autoimmune liver diseases including autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), overlap AIH with Primary Biliary Cirrhosis (AIH-PBC), overlap AIH with Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (AIH-PSC), and drug-induced autoimmune-like hepatitis (DIAIH).

Urinary catheters are used routinely in the postoperative care of urogynecology patients after surgery involving the genitourinary tract. However, Urinary tract infections(UTI) associated with indwelling catheter is the second leading cause of nosocomial infections. 20% of hospital acquired bacteremia arise from UTI with an associated mortality of 10%.
There are many different types of catheters available for use. Standard indwelling catheters are made from a variety of materials including polyvinyl chlorine, plastic, plain latex, polytetrafluoroethylene, silicone elastomer, pure silicone hydrogel and polymer hydromer. Specialized catheters have been developed with the aim of reducing infection. Strategies generally involved coating the inner, outer or both surfaces of the catheter with antimicrobial materials. These materials can be antibiotic or antiseptic with the most common antiseptic material used being silver. Silver ions are bactericidal, are used safely when applied topically to humans and used in controlling infections.
Previous studies comparing UTI rates in transurethral catheters have reported a significant reduction of UTI rate in silver-alloy catheters with a range of 5-12% compared to standard catheters with a range of 7-50%. There are no studies comparing the UTI rate in silver-alloy supra-pubic catheters to standard supra-pubic catheters. The investigators hypothesize that this study will show a statistically significant decrease in UTI rate among the individuals with a silver-alloy suprapubic catheter compared to the standard silver-alloy catheter.
