Nanshan Elderly Cohort Study
Objective: The Nanshan Elderly Cohort Study (NECS) aims to investigate the nutritional, as well as other environmental and genetic factors of chronic diseases, such as cardio-metabolic diseases. Study design: NECS is a community-based prospective cohort study. Participants: About 10000-20000 apparently healthy residents, living in Nanshan， Shenzhen (South China) for >5 …
Rare Disease Patient Registry & Natural History Study - Coordination of Rare Diseases at Sanford
CoRDS, or the Coordination of Rare Diseases at Sanford, is based at Sanford Research in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. It provides researchers with a centralized, international patient registry for all rare diseases. This program allows patients and researchers to connect as easily as possible to help advance treatments and cures …
Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Metabolic Diseases
This study aims to leverage structural, functional, and metabolic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain to identify imaging features that correlate with clinical parameters. It is hypothesized that individuals with metabolic diseases exhibit distinct functional and structural brain differences compared to healthy controls. These differences may evolve over time …
FEmale Metabolic Risk and Androgens: an Irish Longitudinal (FEMAIL) Study
Androgen excess is the cardinal biochemical feature of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a lifelong metabolic disorder affecting 10% of women. Serum testosterone correlates with insulin resistance in women, however, there is an urgent need to improve our understanding of the association between androgens and the risk of type 2 diabetes. …
Insomnia´s Impact on DNA Stability, Cardio-metabolic Health and Lifestyle Behaviors
Insomnia is a highly prevalent sleep disorder worldwide, with an increasing incidence in athletes, older adults, university students, and individuals with metabolic syndrome. This disorder has been associated with metabolic dysfunction, cardiovascular diseases, and genetic instability. Recent evidence suggests that insomnia negatively impacts cardiorespiratory fitness, insulin sensitivity, and overall health …
Efficacy and Safety of Endoscopic Antral Myotomy as a Novel Weight Loss Procedure
Gastric myotomy has been performed for several years as a means of addressing chronic stenosis after sleeve gastrectomy and treating gastroparesis. The Pylorus Sparing Antral Myotomy (PSAM) technique has the opposite effect by leaving the pylorus intact and extending the myotomy proximally to the distal gastric body. PSAM was initially …
Alzheimer"s Imaging Biomarkers in Obesity
High body fat at midlife, as evidenced by overweight or obese body mass index (BMI), is increasingly understood as a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease. However, the underlying processes and mechanisms that may underlie this risk remains unknown. With this project, the Investigator proposes to create a new cohort of …
Analysis of Articular Biomarkers From Osteoarthritic Thumb Basal Joints
The study project aims at examining molecular markers in synovial fluid, bone and articular cartilage from osteoarthritic thumb basal joints. The degradation of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins in thumb basal joints will be evaluated in association to the metabolic profile of the patient, but we also aim to compare the …
Adiposity, Cardiometabolic and Neurocognitive Health Among Ethnic Groups: a Feasibility and Pilot Study
The goal of this pilot and feasibility study is to is to test the feasibility of conducting a cross-sectional study on adiposity and cardiometabolic and neurocognitive risk factors at Kings College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (KCH). The main aim is to assess and compare anthropometric measurements of adiposity (weight, Body …
Characterization of Dysmorphology in Subjects With Creatine Transporter Deficiency
Background Creatine transporter deficiency (CTD) is a genetic disorder that mainly affects the brain in males. CTD causes intellectual disability that can be mild to severe. People with CTD may have seizures and behavioral issues. They may have slow growth and tire easily. CTD may sometimes be confused with autism …
