Hyperpolarized 13C-pyruvate Metabolic MRI With Traumatic Brain Injury
The purpose of this study is to examine the safety and feasibility of using hyperpolarized metabolic MRI to study early brain metabolism changes in subjects presenting with head injury and suspected non-penetrating traumatic brain injury (TBI). This study will also compare HP pyruvate MRI-derived metrics in TBI patients with healthy …
Trial of IV vs Oral Iron Treatment of Iron Deficiency Anemia in the Post-Operative Bariatric Surgical Patient
Given the limited long-term effectiveness of traditional weight loss methods, bariatric surgery is increasingly becoming the preferred option for sustained weight loss. With the ascendancy of the laparoscopic approach, the two most common procedures are the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and the vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG). Because bariatric surgery decreases …
TDCS to Improve Post-Stroke Cognitive Impairment
The investigators will conduct a randomized, double-blinded, sham-controlled trial of approximately 60 patients with minor stroke and post-stroke mild cognitive impairment (psMCI). Participants will be individually randomized on enrollment using a random number generator to treatment with anodal tDCS + computerized cognitive treatment (CCT) versus sham + CCT (approximately 30 …
Biomarker and Edema Attenuation in IntraCerebral Hemorrhage (BEACH)
This first-in-patient phase 2a pilot study will assess the safety and tolerability of MW01-6-189WH (hereafter called MW189) in patients with Intracerebral Hemorrhage (ICH).
Randomized Trial Comparing Immediate vs. Deferred Surgery for Symptomatic ERM
Vitrectomy to remove an epiretinal membrane (ERM) is one of the most common procedures performed by retinal surgeons. Patients who present with significant macular changes on optical coherence tomography (OCT) but relatively good vision are often advised to defer surgery until vision declines to 20/40 or worse. However, it is …
Use of a Patient-Centered Electronic App to Increase ED Patient's Knowledge on HCV to Improve the HCV Care Continuum
The investigators will conduct a randomized controlled clinical trial study in an urban emergency department in Baltimore to determine the impact of an educational app which is based on Leventhal's Common-Sense Model of Illness Representations framework, on HCV-infected ED patient's hepatitis C virus (HCV) health belief and knowledge as well …
Multimodal Brain Imaging of the Neural Effects of Methylphenidate in Patients With ADHD
The investigators' goal is to develop neuroimaging biomarkers to predict response to treatment with methylphenidate, which then can be used in the development of novel pharmacological treatments for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The overall objective of this study is to measure the changes in task-related neural activity related to symptoms of …
Improving Pediatrician Counseling About Infant Safe Sleep Using the Electronic Medical Record
The study team will evaluate the impact of an Infant Sleep Assessment (ISA) tool with motivational interviewing (MI) communication training on clinician-parent communication during 2-month Well Baby Visits (WBV) and parent reported and observed infant sleep practices. The study team's hypotheses are that 1) clinicians who utilize the ISA with …
Semaglutide Therapy for Alcohol Reduction (STAR)
Background Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a problematic pattern of alcohol use accompanied by clinically significant medical consequences. Medications can help most people reduce their drinking, but the number is limited, and additional treatment options are needed. Objective To test if a medication named Semaglutide is safe and may reduce …
PROMISE Registry: A Prostate Cancer Registry of Outcomes and Germline Mutations for Improved Survival and Treatment Effectiveness
PROMISE aims to create a comprehensive nationwide registry of prostate cancer patients with germline pathogenic variants by prospectively screening approximately 5,000 subjects with a confirmed prostate cancer diagnosis, either through tissue biopsy, PSA greater than 100 ng/dL and/or radiographic evidence of disease and receiving systemic therapy for prostate cancer. Patients …
