There are about 173942 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in United States. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
This is a 2-part study evaluating the effects of IV administration of NR on healthy adult populations. Study 1 involved all four arms with 37 people. The second study only included the active NR and NAD+ arms to further evaluate tolerability and comfort of the IV.
Every participant will receive active study drug and one (1 )comparator, in two (2) stages, one after the other. Each drug will be taken one (1) time after a high fat meal. Vital signs and discussion of medications, illness or injury are considered safety assessments and will be discussed at every visit. There will be ( four (4) visits.
Antimuscarinic delirium (AMD) is a common and dangerous toxicology condition caused by poisoning by medications and other chemicals that block muscarinic receptors. Physostigmine, the standard antidote for AMD, currently has very limited availability in the United States due to an interruption of production. Recent case reports and small observational studies suggest that rivastigmine might be useful in the treatment of AMD, but there is not direct prospective evidence comparing rivastigmine to physostigmine or supportive care. In order to investigate the effectiveness of rivastigmine, the investigators propose a randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial of rivastigmine for AMD. The investigators hypothesize that patients treated with rivastigmine for antimuscarinic delirium will experience more rapid resolution of agitation and delirium than those treated with placebo.
The goal of this study is to ensure that pregnant patients have the resources and support needed to access Prenatal Screening & Diagnostic Testing (PS&D) in an informed and evidence-based fashion by developing an innovative digital tool to support patients' decision-making and contributing fundamental knowledge to advance science in a way that promotes patients' access to new prenatal applications of genomic science and technology. Our central hypothesis is that, by focusing on patient engagement as a key driver to improve patient outcomes, the use of an evidence-based artificial-intelligence (AI) powered patient engagement tool will increase patients' ability to seek information and structure a decision-making process that, in turn, increases informed decisions about PS&D and decreases decisional conflict associated with those decisions. Using data from NEST (Ensuring Patients Informed Access to NIPT [non-invasive prenatal testing]), the investigators designed the next iteration of NEST, a point-of care shared decision-making tool powered by artificial intelligence (AI) to provide a personalized and dynamic decision support tool: Obstetric Prenatal Genetic Testing Engagement Solution (OPUS). OPUS is an AI-enabled healthcare chatbot (a computer program capable of processing and simulating human conversation) that provides patients with personalized information and decision-making support at different stages of the PS&D pathway. It functions using a series of questions contained in the NEST with a branching logic sequence of questions and answers based on the responses to and from the patient, using a conversational and adaptable interaction. It also contains nested tiers of information, ranging from introductory to detailed information about patient engagement, health literacy, the different PS&D options, and resources to learn about insurance coverage for PS&D. OPUS was designed to be accessed by patients with different technological resources and preferences, using a cell phone, a mobile device, or a computer.
Melatonin is a hormone that promotes sleep that is available without a prescription in the United States. In addition to oral supplements, melatonin can be purchased in the form of lotions and bubble baths with unknown dosage and no frequency or age recommendations. In this study, researchers will examine how quickly melatonin in lotion and bubble bath is absorbed compared to oral tablets, as well as how long the melatonin lasts in the body.
This study design is a prospective randomized control trial to compare outcomes between the utilization of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) vs conservative treatment in type 2 NSTEMI. The targeted population is expectedly heterogeneous and inpatient setting who are admitted and diagnosed with type 2 NSTEMI.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity of the Flu Pandemic messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccine (including dose-finding and dose-confirmation) administered healthy adults 18 to 85 years of age.
Cardiovascular disease risk factors, including higher BMIs and poor cholesterol profiles, are on the rise and contribute to the United States' growing disease burden. Cottonseed oil (CSO) is found readily in the food supply, and the investigator's previous studies have demonstrated that incorporating CSO into the diet is sufficient to improve fasting cholesterol profile and improve postprandial lipid and/or glycemic responses in both healthy, and at-risk populations. This study aims to compare CSO to a fatty acid composition-matched diet, on changes in fasting and postprandial lipid metabolism and markers of chronic disease risk. The specific aims are: - Examine the impact of CSO vs. PUFA on fasting and postprandial lipids. - Examine the impact of CSO on other markers of chronic disease risk. Participants will be asked to: - Consume provided meal replacement shakes daily for 28-days. - Attend three weekly short visits for fasting blood draws, body measurements, and collect the next week of study materials, - Attend two longer (5.5h) testing visits which include eating a standardized breakfast meal and having blood drawn periodically before and after breakfast. Researchers will compare CSO vs. PUFA and control groups (receiving a mixture of oils) to see if CSO is unique in imparting health benefits when compared with similar matched oil diets.
When a newborn is diagnosed with tachyarrhythmia, they are generally started on medical therapies, most commonly a beta-blocker, while being observed in an inpatient setting. In most academic institutions, current practice is to provide parental teaching on use of a stethoscope to auscultate their child when there is suspicion for distress, in addition to requiring cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) classes. Fortunately, newer technologies have emerged that allow for capture of cardiac rhythm that may provide a buffer between the infant and the emergency room.
This is a one-arm pilot study testing the feasibility and acceptability of a decision aid about safe firearm storage.
