The study will compare therapeutic efficacy of a novel spinal cord stimulation leads implant based on anatomical landmarks with standard surgical implantation technique.

The primary goal of this study is to establish a database of people with varying levels of hepatic fibrosis and various etiologies of liver disease for use in future research protocols.

The investigators will focus on three cohorts of brain tumor patients aged, 4-18 years, to answer two critical questions: 1) Can the investigators acquire high quality data relevant to cognitive function during the peri-diagnostic period and, 2) can the investigators develop pred…

Tools have been developed in our unit to calculate the inter-dose AUC (Area Under Curve) of immunosuppressive drugs (ISD) based on a limited number of blood concentrations (i.e., blood samples) using Bayesian methods. Since 2005, we have implemented these tools in an expert syste…

Gait and balance disorders represent the main motor disability in advanced Parkinson's disease. These symptoms are less or unresponsive to levodopa treatment and are considered to be a contraindication for deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus. Falls and freezing of g…

This study consists of two projects: Project 1: The study team will create and refine the CFI-EA by enrolling 3 clinicians and 9-12 patients to test the CFI-EA's feasibility and acceptability from patient and clinician feedback in a pre-pilot trial. The study team will first tra…

The position of the RV lead may have an important role in the effectiveness of the Programmable Hypertension Control (PHC) therapy by the Moderato pacemaker eliciting a lag from which RV signals (QRS) are identified. The study attempts to measure RV Pressure and RV Volume with P…

The investigators are interested in learning more about choline, a nutrient required by the body. The body does make some choline, but it does not make enough to support health and the rest must be acquired through diet. Eggs, and especially egg yolks, are a major dietary source …

The overall aim of the present proposal is to investigate how patients' and clinicians' (Licensed acupuncturists, LAc) neural and autonomic processes during treatment interaction correlate to patient outcomes. Male and female healthy clinicians and fibromyalgia patients will be r…
