Speech and communication disorders often result in aberrant control of the timing of speech production, such as making improper stops at places where they should not be. During normal speech, the ability to stop when necessary is important for maintaining turn-taking in a smooth conversation. Existing studies have largely investigated neural circuits that support the preparation and generation of speech sounds. It is believed that activity in the prefrontal and premotor cortical areas facilitates high-level speech control and activity in the ventral part of the sensorimotor cortex controls the articulator (e.g. lip, jaw, tongue) movements. However, little is known about the neural mechanism controlling a sudden and voluntary stop of speech. Traditional view attributes this to a disengagement of motor signals while recent evidence suggested there may be an inhibitory control mechanism. This gap in knowledge limits our understanding of disorders like stuttering and aphasia, where deficits in speech timing control are among the common symptoms. The overall goal of this study is to determine how the brain controls the stopping of ongoing speech production to deepen our understanding of speech and communication in normal and impaired conditions.
The project goals are to improve combat readiness of U.S. Soldiers and sustain the availability of the military to deploy by, 1) decreasing the number of days not physically ready for duty after diagnosis of a diaphyseal tibial stress fracture, 2) decreasing the need for a physical profile or medical discharge board after bone stress injury, and 3) decreasing the recurrence rates of bone stress injuries.
The primary objective of this study is to assess the long-term safety of vatiquinone in participants with Friedreich ataxia (FA) previously exposed to vatiquinone.
The goal of this retrospective chart review is to obtain clinical safety and performance data for the GamCath HighFlow Dolphin Protect Catheter in patients with acute kidney injury, acute renal failure, or chronic kidney disease. The main questions to answer are: 1. Duration of catheter use (survival) 2. Reason(s) for catheter removal
Continuation study to provide continued access to latozinemab for participants who have previously participated in a latozinemab study
This study will be conducted following Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) guidelines. Eligible subjects will be consented to return for scheduled study visits for this study following their completion in study NTXMCO-002 (RESTORE). They will not receive a second treatment with MCO-010 (or a repeated sham injection) in this study
Using insulin pumps and sensors to monitor blood glucose has become standard of care for children with diabetes. The continous infusion of insulin in the subcutaneous tissue leads to increased risk of lipohypertrophy that might influence insulin absorption. We are in this study using ultrasound to detect subcutaneous hyperechogenicity to guide rotation of insulin infusion and investigate if avoidance of areas with hyperechogenicity improve insulin absorption seen as decrease in insulin needs.
This non-interventional study concerns a safety data collection based on adverse event data from a third-party registry (European Haemophilia Safety Surveillance System, EUHASS) that includes information about adverse events from patients with haemophilia A treated with turoctocog alfa pegol. There is no extra burden to the patients by participating in this registry-based data collection.
Essential polyunsaturated fatty acids (EFAs) have a significant impact on human health, even before birth. Their supplementation is recommended at all ages, especially in people with cardiolovascular risks. The most valuable proven action of EFAs is the improvement of the lipid profile (including increase in HDL, the so-called "good cholesterol" and lowering LDL, the so-called "bad cholesterol"), preventing the development of atherosclerosis, strokes and heart attacks. We distinguish three fractions of EFAs: EPA, DHA and ALA. The best known are EPA and DHA, but in recent years the interest in ALA fraction has increased, as it is the only fraction that has pronounced anti-inflammatory properties, but also only ALA is not produced by the human body and must be supplied with food. We believe that the supplementation of the ALA fraction is as important as the supplementation of the well-known and recommended EPA and DHA fractions, moreover it also brings unique benefits. The aim of the study is to demonstrate the benefits of EFAs in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases in the group of adults. In the project, we also want to compare the benefits of supplementing various fractions. Each volunteer will be randomly assigned to one of 4 groups. Group No. 1 will be a group without the supplementation of essential fatty acids (EFAs), group No. 2 will receive supplementation with pure ALA fraction, group No. 3 will receive supplementation with EPA and DHA fractions, and group No. 4 will receive supplementation with all fractions, i.e. ALA, EPA and DHA. All persons from groups 1-4 will be examined three times: at the beginning, after three months and after six months (at the end of the project). The tests will include: blood pressure measurements, non-invasive measurements of body mass and composition, and laboratory tests: CRP, fasting glucose, lipid profile, and blood count. Both preparations for acid supplementation and tests are completely free for participants. Participation in the study is voluntary and is not associated with any health risk.
This is a longitudinal observational study with participants who have been implanted with the suprachoroidal retinal prosthesis.
