Mar 14th, 2023 - For this study, the investigators propose to conduct an online study of PwPD (proposing a total of 60 participants) to examine the relations among variables that may relate to perception in PD. Participants will be recruited via online research platforms such as the Fox Trial Finder, as in our previous studies. Those PwPD who express interest will be sent a link to an online survey (Qualtrics)....

Mar 14th, 2023 - This study is designed to test the hypothesis that restoration of Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD) levels with Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) in older adults will improve neurovascular coupling (NVC) responses and micro- and macrovascular endothelial function. This hypothesis will be tested by assessing the effects of treatment with oral NR (1g/day per os for 8 weeks) or placebo (8 weeks) in...

Mar 14th, 2023 - Subjects The study is expected to enroll 30 participants who will be recruited from the Internal Medicine outpatient clinic.

Mar 14th, 2023 - The overall objective of this randomized clinical trial is to test the effectiveness of a novel personalized approach to the surgical treatment of OSA in children with Down syndrome (DS). DS is a common disorder, affecting 1 in 691 births. The estimated prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children with DS ranges from 45-83%, compared to 1-6% in the general pediatric population. Untre...

Mar 13th, 2023 - This is a multi-reader methodological study comparing the diagnostic value of 68Ga-PSMA-HBED-CC PET/CT or 68Ga-PSMA-HBED-CC PET/MRI over MRI alone, using histologic confirmation or serial follow-up for up to 2 years as the gold standard for determination of primary prostate cancer or prostatic cancer recurrence/metastasis. It is hypothesized that this will demonstrate the superiority of 68Ga-PS...
