ST Monitoring to Detect ACS Events in ICD Patients
This is a prospective, non-randomized, multicenter, pivotal IDE study. The intent of this
study is to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the ST Monitoring Feature in the
Fortify® ST, Fortify Assura® ST, and Ellipse® ST family of devices, as well as any future St
Jude Medical devices with the same ST Monitoring Feature capabilities. Effectiveness of the
device will be evaluated by analyzing the sensitivity of the ST Monitoring Feature to detect
clinical events. In addition, safety of the ST Monitoring Feature will be evaluated by
demonstrating a low percentage of patients with false positive events.

CHLA Research Study on Neurovascular and Neurocognitive Consequences of Iron Deficiency Anemia
Anemia is a condition where the body is not making enough red blood cells to transport oxygen. The objective of this study is to learn how anemia may affect the oxygen delivery to the brain as measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). By studying this, we hope to better identify people who may benefit from correction of their anemia by iron therapy.
Exploring Life Events Prior to Death by Suicide
<p>We are interested in creating better means of suicide prevention. One way to do this is by discussing suicide with those who have lost a loved one. If you are a survivor of loss, we want to hear the story of your loved one. We believe that by investigating the experiences of an individual prior to their death, we can better understand important risks that are often overlooked in current suicide prevention efforts. </p><p> This information may help to build better connections to prevent others from going through this loss. </p>
A Mobile Mindfulness App for U.S. Veterans: Mind Guide (Beta-Test Phase)
The purpose of this study is to examine how mobile apps that focus on mindfulness techniques and stress reduction skills can help post-9/11 veterans. Several stand-alone apps for phones have been developed, but they have yet to be tested to see if they are helpful for veterans who may living with stress or may be drinking alcohol at levels higher than they would like.
RESTORE: WeaRablEs for Stroke FuncTiOn in the NatuRal Environment
<p>One of the most frequent consequences of a stroke is arm and hand motor impairment. In fact, more than 60% of stroke survivors have motor impairments on one side of the body, which may limit participation in everyday activities and quality of life. To date, only few studies look at what influences motor recovery, apart from capacity. </p><p>This study aims to better understand what influences how stroke survivors choose to use the more affected arm and hand in everyday activities, such as confidence in using the arm or positive social interactions. </p>

Development of an online mindfulness program for stroke survivors and their caregivers
This study aims to test the satisfaction and ease-of-use of an online mindfulness program. The program is specifically designed to increase mindfulness for stroke survivors and their caregivers or loved ones. We are particularly interested to obtain feedback on the content of the program and the website used to offer it. The feedback and suggestions will help us to create a final version that is easy to understand and relevant for stroke survivors and caregivers. This study will be done virtually (no face-to-face visit).
Suicide Risk - Mechanisms of Proximal Suicide Risk
<p>Suicide is the second leading cause of death among young adults in the United States. Some types of thinking patterns and feelings may differ in people with a history of depression and suicidal thoughts. However, not enough is known about how the brain influences the way people feel, like how people help themselves feel better. </p><p> The purpose of this study is to better understand how people’s thinking affects their feelings, and how this might be related to risk for (or protection against) suicidal thinking and behavior.</p>
CHLA Research Study on Childhood Outcomes of Preterm Brain Abnormalities
<p>The purpose of this CHLA Research Study is to collect and compare information from your child's magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, neurological exam and neuropsychological assessments. We hope to find whether there is a specific pattern of brain changes associated with prematurity that will help with early screening, diagnosis, and treatment of brain injury in prematurely born children as well as identify a connection between MR imaging and neurodevelopmental outcomes.</p>
