Filter by:The investigators hope to gain a better understanding of the influence of affect reactivity and regulation on the decision of newly diagnosed breast cancer patients to choose bilateral mastectomy. The information gained can help develop an intervention to enable management of cancer-related anxiety by non-surgical means.
This randomized pilot trial studies how well a mobile health (mHealth) intervention works in increasing human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination among college students at the Ohio State University. mHealth educational intervention may communicate information about HPV vaccination and increase HPV vaccine uptake in college students.
This pilot trial studies how well a mobile health (mHealth) human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine intervention works in increasing HPV vaccine coverage among young adult gay and bisexual men. Giving young men information about the HPV vaccine and the importance of vaccination may encourage them to get the HPV vaccine.
Sleep exerts a dual effect on learning: on the one hand, good sleep quality allows good daytime aptitudes leading to knowledge acquisition. On the other hand, sleep after learning is necessary for knowledge consolidation. A key role of sleep has clearly been demonstrated in memory consolidation in adults. Sleep leads to strengthen memory by promoting brain plasticity. Surprisingly, sleep influence on learning stabilization has scarcely been studied during childhood and in children affected by sleep disorders. Yet, sleep disorders concern almost 30% of children and are frequently related to a worsening in academic performances. Classical neuropsychological evaluations of these children, based on daytime learning, often fail to determine cognitive profiles explaining their academic difficulties. The investigators hypothesize that a lack of sleep-dependent consolidation could take an active part in these children's cognitive and academic difficulties. This proposal aims at characterizing interactions between sleep, learning and memory processes that have not been studied in children of elementary school age (6-12 years). The investigators will evaluate sleep-dependent memory consolidation processes in children with sleep disorders before and after treatment and healthy controls. Neuropsychological testing and academic performances will be also evaluated.. The comparison of performances obtained before and after medical treatment, will allow to understand whether normalisation of sleep quality permits the restoration of sleep-dependent memory consolidation.
This pilot clinical trial studies Take the Fight in supporting and empowering patients with cancer through their treatment process. Patients with cancer are faced with many obstacles created by the current state of the healthcare system. The purpose of Take the Fight is to train college students, also called patients' navigators or strategists, to assist and support patients to navigate into the healthcare system and receive the care they need. The strategists are matched with patients and attend/coordinate most patients' medical appointments. The strategists also advance communications between the patient and the medical staff to facilitate both the exchange of medical information as well as increase the patient's compliance with treatment. Take the Fight may improve the health and quality of life outcomes of cancer patients during critical treatment periods by increasing treatment compliance, eliminating barriers to better care, and increasing clinical trial participation.
This pilot research trial studies magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and cardio (heart)-pulmonary (lung) exercise testing in evaluating exercise intolerance in patients with stage I-III breast cancer after treatment with chemotherapy drugs called anthracyclines. Anthracyclines are related with heart problems, cardiac abnormalities, bone and muscle dysfunction. Patients with breast cancer who are exposed to anthracycline drugs may also experience progressive fatigue and exercise intolerance which may limit daily activities and is an important barrier for patients returning to work. Using MRI and cardio-pulmonary exercise testing (CPET) may help doctors understand the causes of fatigue and exercise intolerance in patients receiving anthracycline chemotherapy and this may also allow doctors to plan better treatments to protect patients' heart, cardiovascular system, bone and muscle function.
This pilot clinical trial studies the use of integrin alpha-v-beta [18F]-R01-MG-F2 Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT) and Positron Emission Tomography-Magnetic Resonance Imaging in (PET/MRI) in measuring response in patients with pancreatic cancer and healthy volunteers. Integrins, such as integrin alpha-v-beta-6 (avb6), are a family of membrane receptors that are overexpressed on the cell surface of pancreatic cancers. [18F]-R01-MG-F2 targets avb6, which may improve early detection of and better stratify treatment options for patients with pancreatic cancer.
This randomized pilot clinical trial studies how well survivorship care plan works in promoting technology-based physical activity in breast or colorectal cancer survivors in Wisconsin. A survivorship care plan may help doctors to better understand how they can help people who have been diagnosed with cancer to become more physically active. It is not yet known whether a standardized cancer survivor plan used as part of routine care or a technology-based physical activity intervention is better in promoting physical activity in breast or colorectal cancer survivors.
This pilot research trial studies the use of the Myeloid Derived Suppressor Cells Clinical Assay in finding and monitoring kidney cancer. Studying samples of blood and urine from patients with kidney cancer in the laboratory may aid doctors in the early detection of cancer, monitor tumor response to therapy, detect the presence of occult spreading of disease, and identify early return of disease.
Fruits and vegetables are an important source of many different phytochemicals that may affect health and accurate dietary assessement tools to quantitate dietary intake are essential. This study will evaluate the correlation of dietary carotenoid intake estimated from two common and one novel food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) with estimated carotenoid intake from 3 day diet records as well as measured blood and skin concentrations of carotenoids. This study will be conducted in healthy adults. These tools may be effective in estimating the level of these compounds in an average diet.
