This is an exploratory study to assess \[18F\]PT2385 Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT) in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC). This is an open-label, nontherapeutic trial. The main objective is to correlate hypoxia-inducible factor-2alpha (HIF2α) leve…

The use of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) has increased dramatically in the United States in recent years. The importance of postoperative physical therapy in the setting of anatomic total shoulder is well understood and explored in the literature. The literature descr…

This study applies a hypothesis-driven approach to examine the effects of chronic marijuana use on HIV-associated inflammation and its subsequent impacts on central nervous system function, with the goal of identifying the mechanisms through which cannabinoids modulate neurologic…

Childhood and adolescence are crucial periods for prevention of obesity, as obese children are five times more likely to be obese at adulthood than lean children. To this purpose, sugar consumption should be reduced. The sugar alcohol erythritol is increasingly popular as sugar s…

The purpose of this study will be to investigate the optimization of spinal cord stimulation with ECAPs in patients with spinal cord implants.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the association between hemoglobin levels in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF-Hb) and the occurrence of secondary brain injury in patients after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH-SBI) during the first 14 days after bleeding.
