Clinical Trials

Sutureless vs Sutured Gastroschisis Closure Not Recruiting
More
This study aims to prospectively assess outcomes of sutureless versus sutured gastroschisis closure with a randomized control trial. The parameters of this trial were determined using our retrospective study as pilot data. Primary outcome measures will be time on ventilator and time to initiating enteral feeds. Other outcome measures will include cosmetic outcome, length of hospital stay and the associated rate of complications, including bowel resection, sepsis, and death.

Stanford is currently not accepting patients for this trial. For more information, please contact Sanjeev Dutta, MD, 650-723-6439.

A Prospective Trial of Ultrasound Versus Landmark Guided Central Venous Access in the Pediatric Population Not Recruiting
More
The investigators hypothesized that, in children undergoing venous cannulation for central line placement by pediatric surgeons, ultrasound-guided cannulation leads to an increase in successful venous cannulation at first attempt compared to landmark guided cannulation.

Endocrinology/Diabetes, Pediatric, osteoporosis, Pediatric Endocrinology
Research Interests
Prevention of osteoporosis begins in childhood and adolescence by measures that maximize acquistion of bone mineral during the critical adolescent years. Body mass, calcium nutriture, physical activity, growth and sex steroid hormones, and genetic factors are all thought to be important determinants of bone mass although the relative contribution of each remains controversial.
