The Impact of Prehabilitation
While numerous studies have assessed the promising impacts of prehabilitation, there is a lack of prehabilitation research within lower socioeconomic patient populations. Often for prehabilitation studies, patients are heavily involved in full scale exercise and nutrition programs weeks before the scheduled procedure. In underserved populations, programs such as these are …
Optimized Carbohydrate Fueling to Enhance Physical Performance During Energy Deficit
This randomized crossover study will examine the effects of consuming isocaloric GLU+FRU or GLU alone on rates of exogenous carbohydrate oxidation during aerobic exercise and physical performance (time trial) under energy balance (BAL) and energy deficit (DEF). Baseline data will be collected on volunteer height, weight, body composition, and V̇O2peak. …
Allogeneic Valve Transplantation
Valves will be taken from hearts donated by organ donors, and implanted into patients who need a new heart valve.
Treatment of UC With Novel Therapeutics
This study is a clinical trial being done to investigate the efficacy of drug BRS201 as a treatment in patients with active mild ulcerative colitis. Participation in this study will take 12 weeks long and the study is structured as a crossover study in which participants will take the study …
Targeted Treatment for Metastatic Prostate Cancer, The PREDICT Trial
This phase II trial evaluates whether genetic testing in prostate cancer is helpful in deciding which study treatment patients are assigned. Patient cancer tissue samples are obtained from a previous surgery or biopsy procedure and tested for deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) abnormalities or mutations in their cancer. …
Clinical Trial of Blenderized Tube Feeds Varying in Viscosity
The investigators are conducting a 16 week multiple cross-over study (N-of-1 trial) comparing two blenderized tube feeds varying in viscosity in 40 children.
Multimodal Musical Stimulation for Healthy Neurocognitive Aging
This is a Stage I randomized, sham-controlled trial on the effects of multimodal musical stimulation on working memory in aging. Neurologically healthy older and younger adults will be tested on working memory and electroencephalography in the first randomized controlled trial of music as a form of brain stimulation, with multimodal …
Interstage Monitoring Using an Implantable Loop Recorder: A Pilot Study
The primary objective of this investigation is to evaluate the feasibility and safety of implantable loop recorder implantation (using the LUX-DX™) in newborns undergoing stage 1 palliation. The secondary objective of the investigation is to evaluate the feasibility of continuous measurement of heart rate and arrhythmia using an implantable loop …
Mindfulness-Based fMRI Neurofeedback for Depression
In the United States, adolescents experience alarmingly high rates of major depression, and gold-standard treatments are only effective for approximately half of patients. Rumination may be a promising treatment target, as it is well-characterized at the neural level and contributes to depression onset, maintenance, and recurrence as well as predicts …
AAA-SHAPE Pivotal Trial: Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Sac Healing and Prevention of Expansion
To determine the safety and effectiveness of IMPEDE-FX RapidFill to increase the percentage of subjects with shrinkage of the abdominal aortic aneurysm sac when used as an adjunct to on-label endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) stent graft treatment in trial subjects considered candidates for elective EVAR.
