A Pilot Study To Evaluate the Effectiveness of Pulsed Time-Domain Optical Spectroscopy for Monitoring the Responses in Neoadjuvant Treatments of Locally-Advanced Breast Cancer
This study will investigate optical tissue characteristics as a function of neoadjuvant breast cancer treatment. Our objective in this pilot study will be to identify diffuse optical spectroscopy parameters that change with treatment and that may correlate with pathological response. The ultimate goal is to use such parameters ultrasound as …
Bradykinin-degradating Enzymes Activities in Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors-associated Angioedema
Angiotensin-Converting-Enzyme-inhibitors-dependent angioedema (ACEi-AE) is the most frequent form of bradykinin-mediated AE, with an estimated prevalence of 0.1% to 0.7%. These AE can be explained by the accumulation of bradykinin (BK), a peptide responsible for increase of vascular permeability: ACE inhibitors block ACE, the main inactivation pathway of the BK, thus …

Can Medical Cannabis Affect Opioid Use?
The goal of this observational study is to learn how medical cannabis (MC) affects pain and the use of opioid pain medications. Participants who have chronic pain and use prescribed opioid pain medication will opt-in to using MC or not for the 3-month study. Participants who are certified in Pennsylvania …
Tonometry(1) and Duplex Ultrasound(2) to Predict CV Events in to be Treated Patients With an AAA
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a common vascular disease and associated with risk of rupture, but also with a high cardiovascular (CV) event rate. A key difficulty in AAA is predicting these life-threatening complications, which are strongly linked to vascular health. In 2013, the SMART risk score was developed to …
The Dynamics of Human Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an enormous public health problem in the United States, affecting 2-5 million Americans and causing rapid heart beats, stroke, heart failure or death. In this project, the applicant will develop a novel framework to better understand human AF that builds on agreement between several concepts for …
Prediction of Long-term Outcome in Aortic Stenosis After Valve Intervention
Patients with severe aortic stenosis accepted for transcatheter intervention or open surgery are included before the intervention, and then followed up with clinical visits during the first year after intervention. Imaging with echocardiography and computed tomography (CT) are performed together with additional imaging with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and Positron …
Evaluation of the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) as a Risk Factor of Mortality in Adult Patients ≤65 Years of Age Admitted to Intensive Care for Septic Shock.
The aim of the study is to demonstrate that "frail" patients, defined as having a CFS score greater than or equal to 5, and "severely" frail patients, defined as having a CFS score between [6-7] as defined by Bagshaw et al (14), constitute an independent risk factor (RF) for mortality. …
Appetitive Conditioning in Anorexia Nervosa
Anorexia nervosa (AN) is characterized by a reduced drive to pursue rewarding experiences and stimuli. Food consumption - which is almost universally experienced as pleasurable - is not described as rewarding by those with AN. This is thought to be underpinned by abnormalities around reward learning. However, the most fundamental …
Population Pharmacokinetics of Propafenone and Propranolol in Children Patients
The use of propafenone and propranolol in children during clinical treatment was depending mostly on experience. Besides, there was no recommended dose for children in drug instruction. Therefore, the investigators' aim is to study the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in children.
