Molecular, Cellular, and Genetic Characterization of Human Adipose Tissue and Its Role in Metabolism
Background The body uses energy from calories for basic functions like breathing and digesting food. Over time, when a person eats more calories than they burn, they may become overweight or obese. Obesity is a major health concern. Researchers want to look at fat and muscle tissue to learn more …
Development Of Neuroimaging Methods To Assess The Neurobiology Of Addiction
Background Abusing alcohol, drugs, and other substances can cause serious health problems. These substances also can affect brain function. Researchers want to learn more about brain function by using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This uses a magnetic field and radio waves to take pictures of the brain. Objective To develop …
Non-Invasive Diagnosis of Pediatric Pulmonary Invasive Mold Infections
This study will establish a non-invasive diagnostic approach and evaluate clinical outcomes for children at high-risk for pulmonary invasive fungal infection (PIFI).
Low-Dose Danazol for the Treatment of Telomere Related Diseases
Background DNA is a structure in the body. It contains data about how the body develops and works. Telomeres are found on the end of chromosomes in DNA. Some people with short telomeres or other gene changes can develop diseases of the bone marrow, lung, and liver. Researchers want to …
ACTEMRA® for the Treatment of Pediatric Adamantinomatous Craniopharyngioma
ACTEMRA (tocilizumab) is an IL-6 receptor antagonist used for the treatment of adult Rheumatoid Arthritis as well as Polyarticular (PJIA) and Systemic (SJIA) Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis. In this Phase II, the drug will be used to treat pediatric patients diagnosed with recurrent Adamantinomatous Craniopharyngioma including patients who have undergone surgery …
Assessing and Improving Quantitative Magnetic Resonance Imaging Metrics in Human Subjects
Background Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which uses strong magnets to get images of structures inside the body, is a valuable tool in modern medicine. But researchers are always looking for ways to improve this technology. To better understand how to use MRI to diagnose problems, researchers need to collect more …
REFINE Study: A Study In a Novel Interspinous Fusion Device In Subjects With Low Back Pain
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the use of Aurora Spine ZIP™ MIS Interspinous Fusion System and bone graft material in fusion in patients with chronic low back pain that present with degenerative disc disease with concurrent neurogenic claudication.
Prospective Evaluation of Next Generation CT Reconstruction (NextGenIR)
Background \- Computed Tomography (CT) is a scan that makes detailed pictures of the body. It uses radiation to do that. In 2011, about 85.3 million CT scans were done in the United States. But there is growing concern about the health effects of radiation. There are new and different …
Characterization of an Optically Pumped Magnetometer (OPM) Magnetoencephalography (MEG) Array
Background Brain activity produces magnetic fields. These fields can be measured outside the head. Existing technology, called MEG, measures these fields. Researchers are testing a new type of magnetic field sensor called OPM. They hope it can help pinpoint with very high accuracy where brain activity is generated. Objective To …
Beta-Agonist Versus OnabotulinumtoxinA Trial for Urgency Urinary Incontinence
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare treatment outcomes between an oral medication (beta agonist) versus onabotulinumtoxinA injections in women with urgency urinary incontinence (UUI). Participants will be randomly selected to receive one of the two treatments. The primary outcome measure will be at 3 months, and women …
