This study evaluates the efficacy of auricular neurostimulation via an non-invasive percutaneous electrical nerve field stimulator (PENFS) in adolescents with functional nausea. A neurostimulator is applied to the outer ear and stimulates several nerves that are thought to be inv…

The primary objective in this study is to investigate if vein grafts harvested and implanted with the non-touch technique are superior to conventional vein graft technique with respect to mid-term patency, in patients undergoing CABG surgery.

The primary objective of this study is to measure the concentration and the regional brain distribution of pathologic amyloid deposition using the PET tracer \[C-11\]PiB in participants in the UAB Alzheimer's Disease Center cohort. Assessment of interactions between race and vasc…

Twenty patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD) will be included into this single center randomized controlled double-blind clinical trial (RCT) in a cross-over design. The treatment consists of two different stimulation settings using (i) conventional omnidirectional st…

This randomized phase III trial studies how well netupitant/palonosetron hydrochloride and dexamethasone with prochlorperazine or olanzapine work compared to netupitant/palonosetron hydrochloride and dexamethasone in improving chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in patients …

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of radial shock waves for the treatment of erectile dysfunction \[ED\]. Patients and methods: Randomized, double-blind clinical trial. The study will include patients of legal age with diagnosis of ED and score on the International …

The investigators plan to include both operable and inoperable patients with esophagus cancer in this prospective trial. Since both proton and photon treatments are biologically equivalent, the investigators do not expect a difference in tumor control compared to intensity modula…

This study compares the operative and functional outcomes of adding a transanal pathway to laparoscopic pelvic pouch surgery. The transanal pathway enables the surgeon to have better control when dividing the rectum and it may improve visualization in pelvic dissection. This coul…

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of the optimal and late initiation of dialysis on the mortality and quality of life in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients by the Dialysis Initiation based on Fuzzy mathematics Equation (DIFE), which is a novel equation for …

It is a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Medtronic Resolute Onyx™ Zotarolimus-Eluting Coronary Stent System in comparison with the Medtronic Resolute Integrity™ Zotarolimus-Eluting coronary stent system in the treatment of subjects eligible f…

The primary aim of this study is to compare the clinical efficacy and safety of OCT-guided(optical coherence tomography (OCT)-guided) and IVUS-guided(Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided) strategies in patients undergoing Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with contempora…

Infarct size is a major determinant of prognosis after AMI. Evidence indicates that the combination of intracoronary ischemic conditioning (ICIC) and remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) can significantly reduce infarct size in STEMI patients. Whether the combination of these two i…

This is a prospective, open-label, single arm, non-randomized study of RiMO-301 with radiation in patients with advanced tumors. A single escalation dose of RiMO-301 is intratumorally injected in a 3 + 3 study design to identify the recommended dose and dosing volumes. Condition…

The researchers are trying to answer if axillary reverse mapping (ARM) with lympho-venous bypass (LVB) in patients undergoing an axillary lymph node dissection reduces the rate and severity of post-operative lymphedema of the arm.

To evaluate the micro-biologic efficacy and safety of a streamlined treatment for early onset methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in patients with cystic fibrosis.

STRIVE will evaluate the use of adjunctive, low-dose intracoronary tissue plasminogen activator during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in reducing the incidence of post-procedural myocardial blush (MBG)…

This study expands on protocol (NCT01908504"PET adaptive RT") designed to evaluate the utility of adaptive PET-CT planning for radiation therapy (RT). Radiation therapy is used in many malignant diseases as a curative treatment modality. However, critical normal tissue is often i…

The primary objective of this substudy is to measure the concentration and the regional brain distribution of activated brain microglia/macrophages using the PET ligand \[18F\]DPA-714 in participants enrolled in the UAB Innate and Adaptive Immunity in Parkinson's Disease (Clinica…

This study will evaluate the clinical performance of a phakic intraocular lens (IOL) for the improvement of Uncorrected Near Visual Acuity (UCNVA) in subjects who require between +1.00 and +2.50 Reading Add.

The purpose of this study is to test Cerenkov luminescence imaging, which is a different way to take pictures of thyroid cancer and/or any tumors with (existing or suspected) nodal metastases in the neck, supraclavicular, axillary and/or inguinal region.
