Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate if losartan limits aortic dilatation in patients with Marfan syndrome.
The purpose of the study is to test whether salsalate,an aspirin-like drug, can improve blood vessel function by reducing inflammation caused by insulin resistance, making the development of blockages less common. We also want to see if salsalate will 1. Change the way blood vessels expand and/or 2. Improve the ability of cells to use blood sugar for energy.
The purpose of this study is to compare the amount of drug that gets into the bloodstream between different tablets taken by mouth and an injection under the skin.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the benefit of treatment with oral dose of Ibodutant (code: MEN 15596) on IBS symptoms and the safety and tolerability of this therapy.
This is a pilot trial to see if one or two 40 treatment courses of low pressure hyperbaric oxygen therapy can improve cognition and brain imaging in subjects with either chronic mild-moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI), also known as post-concussion syndrome (PCS) or chronic PCS with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) secondary to blast injury.
The purpose of this study is to provide decitabine to patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) or Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) who have completed participation per protocol in the DACO-018 study.
This study will test the hypothesis that reducing the release of free fatty acids (FFA) from fat cells will restore insulin-mediated, endothelium-dependent vasodilation in people with the metabolic syndrome.
To monitor the frequency of the development of thrombocytopenia in patients with Heparin Induced Thrombocytopenia/Heparin Induced Thrombocytopenia and Thrombosis Syndrome receiving bivalirudin during Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
This study will explore conditions caused by the absence of certain genes on chromosome 11. These conditions include WAGR syndrome, which is characterized by a kidney tumor called Wilm s tumor, aniridia (absence of the iris of the eye), genital and urinary abnormalities, mental retardation, and possibly other symptoms. This study will examine how the genes on chromosome 11 affect people and whether the absence of specific genes is associated with specific symptoms. Healthy normal volunteers, people with isolated aniridia, and people with WAGR or another chromosome 11 gene deletion may be eligible for this study. Participants must be at least 6 years old. Parents of patients may also participate for genetic studies. Participants undergo some or all of the following procedures, depending on whether they are a child, adult, healthy volunteer or parent of a patient: - Medical history and physical examination, eye examination, blood, urine and saliva tests, electrocardiogram (EKG) and electroencephalogram (EEG) - X-rays, scans and other tests to measure body composition (fat, muscle and bone development and thickness) and MRI to examine the eyes and the brain and to measure abdominal fat - Ultrasound studies of the kidneys, ovaries and uterus (in females) and testes (in males) - Meal tests, food diaries and food preference tests - Questionnaires about eating and sleep habits, personality and character traits and responses to pain and injury - Neuropsychological tests - Tests of resting metabolic rate, energy expenditure and glucose (sugar) tolerance - Hot and cold sensitivity tests, vibration sensitivity test, cold tolerance test and smell identification test - Eye and hearing tests - Nerve conduction studies and study of sensory information conduction from peripheral nerves to the spinal cord and brain - Computer photography - Evaluation by sub-specialists (e.g., endocrinologist, ophthalmologist, physiatrist, neurologist or others) as indicated by the patient s medical history and test results
The scientific aims of the study are to determine how peripheral microcirculatory responsiveness is altered in obese women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) during local heating and to determine the mechanism for testosterone effects on peripheral microcirculatory responsiveness in women with PCOS.
