The Short Sleep Study
Natural Short Sleepers are defined as individuals who sleep fewer than 6 hours per night without any impact on health or daytime mental fatigue levels. Emerging evidence suggests that, in the general population, the gut microbiota would be negatively influenced by this sleep duration. It is possible that Natural Short …
Germline Testing for Predisposition to Myeloid Malignancies
The goal of this research study is to evaluate the feasibility of germline genetic testing using the investigational MyeloGen Gene Panel in adult participants diagnosed with myeloid malignancies.
A Study for Imaging the Lower Gastrointestinal Tract Using a Retro-TCE Capsule
The investigators have developed an inexpensive tool to take pictures in the lower GI tract without sedation and to look for signs of disease. The tool is a capsule, about the size of a fish oil or multi-vitamin supplement, attached to a string. The capsule and string are connected to …
Brain Stimulation for Foot-sole Sensation in Older Adults With Foot-sole Somatosensory Deficits
In older adults, diminished sensation of the legs and feet is highly prevalent and causes poor balance and reduced mobility. This type of sensation is not only dependent upon the receptors and nerves in the legs and feet, but also upon a complex central nervous system pathway that includes the …
Dance Study for Post-surgical Pain in Breast Cancer Survivors
The purpose of this study is to examine how a 12-week, virtual dance program may improve pain and quality of life in participants with persistent post-surgical pain, or PPSP, following mastectomy or lumpectomy.
PET Brain Imaging in Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimer's Disease, and Other Neurological and Neuropsychiatric Diseases
The specific aims of the study are: Primary: To determine the presence and regional distribution of microglial activation, as assessed by Fluorine-18 (18F) labeled "Peripheral Benzodiazepine Receptor 06" (PBR06) -PET, in subjects with active Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS), Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (SPMS), and Alzheimer's Disease (AD) as compared …
Modeling Blood Management and Hemolytic Risk in Pediatric Heart Surgery
This study aims to learn more about blood management in children undergoing heart surgery, such as the right amounts, and the best blood products, to administer. It also aims to develop a mathematical model that may help researchers better predict and treat patients who need blood transfusions during heart surgery.
The Effect of Kinisoquin™ on Thromboembolic Events in Patients With Metastatic or Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer
The aim of this Phase 3 study is to evaluate the efficacy of Kinisoquin™ as compared to the placebo in prevention of thromboembolic events in patients with metastatic or locally advanced pancreatic cancer.
Beat the Heat Boston
The goal of this stepped wedge trial is to assess the practical effects of air conditioners on hot weather impacts among older adults. The main questions it aims to answer are: How does the presence of an air conditioning unit affect heat stress, heat strain, mental health, and healthcare utilization …
Feasibility Testing of a Tai Chi Program for Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy Treatment (TCT)
This research is being done to determine whether a 12-week virtual Tai Chi training program, designed to improve balance and small nerve fiber function, is feasible and acceptable among cancer survivors with chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN).
