The dual isotope method has been recently developed and used to evaluate indispensable amino acid (IAA) digestibility of various protein food such as legumes, eggs and chicken meat in healthy adults and children. The dual isotope method is an indirect method based on the measurement in plasma of absorbed IAA from a deuterium (2H) intrinsically labeled test protein compared against the same IAA of a carbon 13 (13C) intrinsically labeled standard protein of known digestibility or crystalline amino acids (AA) of theoretical 100% digestibility. However, digestibility data estimated with the dual isotope method have not been directly compared with ileal IAA digestibility directly determined through ileal digesta sampling. The goal of this study is to assess the IAA digestibility of intrinsically 2H-hen's egg in healthy volunteers using both indirect and direct methods.
The purpose of our study is to understand the impact of different meal timing alterations on blood sugars, metabolism, microbiome and sleep physiology in people with prediabetes and diabetes; and to study the temperature/heart rate response to different meals in different people.
The aims of this study are to determine the types and severity of previously undiagnosed sleep deficiencies in otherwise healthy Somali Americans, apply a research framework to define psychosocial, behavioral, environmental, and biological mechanisms mediating sleep deficiencies in Somali Americans, and examine the relationship between sleep deficiencies and increased blood pressure in Somali Americans.
This study aims to assess the expression of SCCA2 in the skin of patients with warts and to detect its correlation with characteristics of warts.
This study is trying to determine whether the success of bariatric surgery can be predicted by evaluating the dietary sugar absorptive characteristics in the small intestine and if there is any gene expression change on the dietary sugar absorptive characteristics.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the safe wearability and basic functions of the multi-modality sensors fabricated in the PI lab.
The study aims at investigating if time to respiratory muscle fatigue and metabolism are influenced by the pressure wave form mode applied during resistive breathing.
The Ezra Faster Scan study uses non-invasive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology that can "visually" detect early and late-stage cancer, and other pathologies. MRIs use a magnetic field and radio waves to create a 3-dimensional (3D) image of an individual's body without using ionizing radiation. The purpose of this research is to decrease the amount of time required by an individual to complete an early cancer screening comprehensive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan, such as the Ezra Full Body MRI imaging scan. If the time required to conduct a comprehensive scan is reduced, the cost of the scan may also decrease. By decreasing consumer costs and time, more individuals may be able to afford MRI-based early cancer screening technology. Participants in this study will undergo a minimum 30-minute MRI session. These sessions will be used to evaluate new MRI "instructions" that allow for a faster MRI scan time. The images will also be used to develop mathematical models or machine learning tools that allow images to be enhanced. By enhancing images using machine learning, they may be restored to a quality typically observed in MRI sessions with longer scan (acquisition) times.

Human milk is the only source of iodine during early infancy and adequate iodine intake during lactation is necessary to assure optimal thyroid function in breastfed infants. However, the physiological requirement of iodine in lactating women is uncertain and recommendations for the daily dietary average requirement are poorly defined. WHO recommends iodine supplementation to lactating women in populations with incomplete coverage of iodized salt and deficient iodine intake, but the scientific evidence is weak and the optimal dose is uncertain. The primary objective is to assess the daily dietary average requirement for iodine in lactating women. Secondary objectives are to: - Estimate the daily average requirement for iodine in exclusively breastfed infants; - Assess the dose-response of dietary iodine supplements on breast milk iodine concentration in lactating women with adequate and inadequate habitual iodine intakes; - Estimate the maternal iodine intake required to provide exclusively breastfed infants with an adequate iodine intake via breast milk.
