Use of Ketosis in Modulating Metabolic Pathways in Bipolar Disorder
The goal of this clinical trial is to test how specific components of diet affect brain function and behavior for individuals with bipolar. The main question it aims to answer is how glucose and ketones each affect the brain's response to risk and reward. Participants will be asked to provide …
Cerebrospinal Fluid Biomarkers of Myotonic Dystrophy
Myotonic dystrophy is associated with central sleep apnea, excessive daytime sleepiness, diminished working memory, impaired visuospatial skills, and deficits in problem-solving skills. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a clear, colorless fluid that surrounds and protects the brain. Changes in the composition of CSF can serve as early indicators of changes in …
Impact of Sex and Age on Non-visual Light Input That Affects Sleep and Circadian Rhythms
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn how the pupil responds to different light stimuli and how that relates to sleep and daily rhythms in healthy people of different ages. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the eye's pupil response to light stimuli differ by …
Orchidopexy Randomized Clinical Assessment
This is a randomized trial designed to evaluate testicular outcomes after a single stage versus a two-stage surgical procedure to fix an undescended, one-sided testicle located in the abdomen. Also to determine and compare the costs, surgical complications and the health related quality of life for the two procedures. Testicular …
Effects of Ketosis on Brain Function in Patients With T1DM
The scientific goal of this study is to examine the effects of a ketogenic diet on hypoglycemia tolerance and brain function in people with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) and to clarify the mechanistic role of ketones in this process. Glycemic management of T1D is typified by alternating periods of …
Turmeric for Patients With Basal Joint Arthritis
The aim of this study is to assess whether the use of a commercially available nutraceutical, turmeric, is an effective option to manage pain and stiffness in patients with basal joint arthritis. To conduct a pilot Randomized Controlled Trial evaluating the impact of turmeric on basal joint arthritis.
Mapping and Quantifying Lymphatic Drainage of the Arm's Alternate Pathway
Using indocyanine green (ICG) lymphography and lymphoscintigraphy with SPECT/CT imaging, the aim is to evaluate the anatomy of the lymphatic system pathway in two separate populations: healthy female volunteers and women with a history of breast cancer who did not develop lymphedema.
Optimizing Feedback-based Learning in Children With Developmental Language Disorder
This project aims to optimize a critical but understudied ingredient of language intervention provided to children with developmental language disorder (DLD) - feedback. The project will bridge a gap between previous findings in our lab of inefficient feedback processing in DLD and clinical practice by identifying the conditions under which …
Very Low Carbohydrate Diets and Glucagon Response in T1DM
Despite major technological advances, management of type one diabetes mellitus (T1D) remains suboptimal, putting millions of people at risk for immediate and long-term complications. After meals, a mismatch between carbohydrate absorption rate and insulin action typically leads to alternating periods of hyper- and hypoglycemia. A conceptually promising approach to control …
Assessing the Impact of Cannabidiol for Anxiety and Depression in Bipolar Disorder
Preliminary data have suggested that cannabidiol (CBD) may have a number of clinical benefits, including anti-anxiety and antidepressant properties. This study is a pilot open-label clinical trial assessing a custom-formulated high-CBD product over the course of 4 weeks in patients with bipolar disorder who experience anxiety.
