The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effects of different types of exercise on brain health and Alzheimer's risk in older African Americans. Specifically, the main question[s] it aims to answer are: - What is the effect of a Cardio-Dance Fitness (CDF) vs. a Strength, Flexibility, and Balance (SFB) intervention on a cognitive marker of Alzheimer's risk, generalization? - What is the effect of the CDF vs. SFB intervention on a fMRI biomarker of Alzheimer's, neural flexibility, and do improvements in neural flexibility mediate improvements in generalization? - Do ABCA7 genotypic variations moderate the efficacy of the CDF vs. SFB intervention for reducing Alzheimer's risk? Participants will undergo-- at baseline and post-test-- health assessments, cognitive tests, and structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and a blood-draw to assess Alzheimer's risk biomarker levels.
This study is a single center, open lable and fixed sequence test conducted in healthy subjects to evaluate the pharmacokinetic effects of Itraconazole and Rifampicin on a single dose of ABSK021 Oral administration. It is planned to enroll 32 healthy subjects and assign them to two parallel test groups, Part A (ABSK021 combined with Itraconazole) and Part B (ABSK021 combined with Rifampicin).
Autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) gel was reported to have very good outcomes in the treatment of foot ulcers in pilot studies and retrospective uncontrolled trials. Therefore, a larger randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial will be useful to determine whether platelet-rich plasma is safe and effective for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers (DFU).
Spinal cord injury (SCI) results in damage to the descending neural pathways and leads to the immediate dysfunction of multiple physiological systems below the level of injury. Like adults, children with SCI suffer from neuromuscular paralysis which results in the inability to sit, stand, and walk. Current therapeutic interventions largely aim to compensate for paralysis to achieve mobility based on the assumption that damage to the central nervous system is permanent and irreversible, e.g. use of braces, standers, and wheelchairs. The objective of this proposal is to investigate the use of transcutaneous spinal stimulation (TcStim) to enable stepping in children with chronic SCI. The investigators will recruit 8 participants, ages 4-12 years with chronic, acquired SCI, T10 and above and non-ambulatory. The aims of this proposal are to 1) investigate the mechanisms of locomotor-specific regulation in the spinal neural circuitry of children with acquired SCI using single vs. multi-site TcStim, 2) investigate the capacity of the lumbosacral spinal cord for integration of task-specific input (e.g. load, speed) during facilitated stepping with and without TcStim, and 3) investigate the training effects of TcStim on the ability to step. Outcomes will provide a necessary initial step in the translation of scientific findings for neuromodulation from adults with SCI to children.
The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of 6 weeks of technological-assisted rehabilitation on function of upper extremity and hand in subjects with incomplete cervical spinal cord injury.
We hypothesize that expansion of the Living Donor Navigator (LDN) program to include tele-health delivery will overcome geographic disparities in access and facilitate sustained increases in living donation. We will utilize an individually randomized group trial (IRGT) design with delayed intervention initiation to compare the effectiveness of tele-health LDN model to standard of care.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the supplement, Fisetin, can be used as a treatment option for common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) by comparing its efficacy to placebo.
In this line of research, the researchers having participants engage in task switching between tasks which require a positive (target) template, negative (distractor) template, or neutral (non-informative) template to the cognitive control factors associated with each template type during visual search. This is a basic science study.
This trial will investigate the effectiveness of applying low-load blood flow restricted exercise 12 months after receiving a total knee replacement to achieve a functional capacity-level similar to healthy peers. Participants will be allocated to either an exercise group performing a sit-to-stand exercise 4/weekly with concurrent partial restriction of the blood flow to the limbs or a usual care.
The goal of this study is to determine the effectiveness of a direct-to-patient virtual education program ("AF at Home") for adults with atrial fibrillation (AF). The main questions this study aims to answer are: 1. Will participants in the educational program have improvement in quality of life, self-monitoring, and self-management strategies after program completion? 2. Will patient level quality of AF care improve for participants in the educational program? Participants will be asked to: - Participate in six hours of virtual education sessions over three weeks via Zoom. - Complete online questionnaires before the program starts and after its completion.
