This study aims to demonstrate a reliable method of selecting gender specific sperm. X-bearing spermatozoa and Y-bearing spermatozoa will be identified from the density gradient layers. The selected gender specimen will then be utilized for assisted reproductive fertilization- in…

Background: \- Smoking is a difficult habit to quit, and some people find it more difficult to quit than others do. Nicotine is the substance in cigarettes that makes smoking so addictive. Nicotine changes some patterns of brain activity, and smokers have differences in brain ac…

Laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy is the consensual attitude of choice in genital prolapse but incurs problems of tolerance of implanted material. As an alternative to stapling and suturing, which cause vaginal erosion, we present a fixation technique using a sterile synthetic liquid t…

This was a Phase 2 exploratory study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of EB-1020 SR (centanafadine sustained release \[CTN SR\]) in treating participants who met Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR) diagnostic criteri…

The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of the ePrime fractional radiofrequency system to the 1550-nm fractional photothermolysis system (Fraxel) in the ability to improve acne scar appearance.

This research is being done because it is not yet known what dose of romidepsin in combination with gemcitabine, dexamethasone, and cisplatin (GDP) can be given safely to patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma, nor what type and severity of side effects will result from the com…

The purpose of this study has evolved and expanded since its inception. Originally the intent was to establish the functional, molecular and genetic profile of fibroblasts from Fibromuscular Dysplasia (FMD) patients as compared to carefully matched control subjects. While this re…

The purpose of this study is to learn more about personalized cancer therapy including response to treatment and side effects. Information about the tests and treatments a person received, or will receive, for their cancer will be collected from medical records to help the resear…

This study will evaluate baseline uptake on a FDG PET/CT scan in patients with breast cancer that has spread to the bones. A repeat FDG PET/CT scan will be done 4 weeks after the start of new breast cancer hormone treatment and again at 12 weeks after treatment start. The baselin…

The objective of the PLATFORM Study is to compare clinical outcomes, resource utilization, and quality of life (QOL) of FFRCT-guided evaluation versus standard practice evaluation in patients with suspected CAD in order to further inform patients, health care providers, and other…

Background: Cancer therapies have significantly improved over the last decades, allowing cancer specialists to keep cancer under control for longer than ever before. However, metastatic cancer still develops in a large number of patients and drug resistance occurs in the majorit…

Induction therapy by either T-cell depleting polyclonal antibodies such as anti-thymocyte globulins (ATG) or non-depleting anti-interleukine 2 receptor monoclonal antibodies (anti-CD25 moAb: basiliximab or daclizumab) are used to prevent acute rejection, especially in highly sens…

Congenital epileptic encephalopathies (EE) are predominantly genetic in origin. Their diagnosis is hampered by the large number of genes involved and their low recurrence. Genetic study in routine diagnosis is limited by the existing techniques and the development costs. The rout…

The overall aim of this project is to understand the independent roles of maternal factors, intrauterine exposures, genetic factors, and postnatal environment on the development of obesity and youth-onset type 2 diabetes (T2D) in childhood.

The purpose of this study is to develop and pilot test personalized and scalable approaches to Cognitive Remediation (CR) for schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder. The intent is to more clearly define the therapeutic targets important to the facilitation of cognitive and fu…

To evaluate the potential usefulness of 11C/18F-MET/FET positron emission tomography/ computed tomography (PET/CT) for the diagnosis of primary and metastatic lesions in various amino acid transporter system (AATS)-related disease patients.

The purpose of this study is to see if researchers could get the same good results with less toxicity by using this new approach. We already know that the three drugs bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone given together at the same time are effective. Most physicians there…

The overall goal of the Parkland-UT Southwestern Population-based Research Optimizing Screening through Personalized Regimens (PROSPR) Center is to optimize colon cancer screening through personalized regimens in the integrated safety-net clinical provider network, which serves a…

Military service members and the U.S. veteran population face a growing and serious health threat: widespread antibiotic resistance resulting from resistant bacteria and a dwindling pipe-line of sufficiently potent antibiotics. Infections with antibiotic resistant bacteria are in…

The investigators are testing whether the addition of Pulmonary Hypertension-related biomarkers, measured across the pulmonary circulation, to the standard hemodynamic evaluation for Pulmonary Hypertension will lead to more informed choices of Pulmonary Hypertension therapy and i…
