Dose Efficacy in Adhesive Capsulitis
The purpose of this study is to find out if the treatment of adhesive capsulitis with 40 mg of methylprednisolone in combination with a hydrodilatation is comparable to 80 mg of methylprednisolone for pain reduction, improving shoulder mobility, and reducing side effects. Researchers will enroll 40 people in this study …
Mechanical Insufflation in the Philadelphia Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Cohort (MI-PALS) Study
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn how doing mechanical insufflation (MI) using a mechanical insufflator-exsufflator (MI-E) device affects breathing in early amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). This will be a single-center, single-arm study of MI in 20 patients with ALS at Penn. Based on prior research, we believe …
Rehabilitation Combining Spatiotemporal Spinal Cord Stimulation and Real-time Triggering Exoskeleton After Spinal Cord Injury
Spinal cord injury (SCI) can be caused by trauma, inflammation, tumors, and other factors, often leading to issues such as impaired leg movement, abnormal sensation, and difficulties with bladder and bowel control. These challenges significantly affect the patient's quality of life. While there is currently no cure for spinal cord …
Effects of Low Tidal Volume and Airway Pressure Release Ventilation on Lung Tissue Mechanics in ARDS Patients Under Mechanical Ventilation: A Prospective Randomized Crossover Study
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn how low tidal volume ventilation (LTV) and airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) affect lung tissue mechanics in adults with ARDS. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does LTV or APRV improve lung tissue mechanics in patients with ARDS under …

What is the safety and efficacy of dexmedetomidine in Sepsis-Associated Acute Kidney Injury? The investigator will compare dexmedetomidine to …
Exploring the Efficacy and Safety of Tislelizumab in Combination With S-1 in the Treatment of Patients With Postoperative Recurrent High-risk Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma
Evaluating the efficacy and safety of treatment with Tislelizumab in combination with S-1 in patients with high-risk recurrent intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma after radical surgery
Impact of Dietary Intervention on Inflammation and Microbiome Composition Post-Colonoscopy
This study aims to investigate the impact of various healthy diets, specifically a modified plant-based Mediterranean diet, on the gut microbiome and overall well-being post-colonoscopy. The investigators hypothesize that certain diets can positively influence gut bacteria, reducing inflammation and enhancing metabolic signals. To explore this, they will utilize metagenomic testing …
Bedside Bone Biopsy in Diabetic Foot Osteomyelitis
During their lifetime, 15 to 25% of patients with diabetes mellitus will develop a Diabetic Foot Ulcer (DFU) related to neuropathy and/or peripheral arterial disease. DFU is the leading cause of non-traumatic lower-extremity amputation worldwide. Diabetic foot osteomyelitis (DFO), which complicates up to 60% of DFU, is a major trigger …
