Beyond EV-B, there are clinical observations to implicate other viruses in birth defects, including CHD. Since the Rubella epidemic of 1960s', however, viruses have received little attention and certainly no comprehensive study, especially using next generation sequencing (NGS), …

Background: Cancer patients receiving palliative care often endure a variety of distressing symptoms, most notably pain and anxiety. Evidence suggests that music offers a symptom-alleviating effect for these patients and can also influence their physiological parameters. Aim: Th…

Accurate prediction of postoperative morbidity and mortality is essential for optimizing perioperative management in patients undergoing gastrointestinal cancer surgery. This study evaluates the predictive performance of commonly used perioperative risk scoring systems in patient…

To discuss the effects of improving the irritable bowel syndrome patients' quality of life and defecation after implementing acupuncture-like Transcutaneous Electrical nerve stimulation.

A high percentage of women are either overweight or obese before pregnancy and many women are exceeding the gestational weight gain recommendations when pregnant. Excessive gestational weight gain increases the risk of maternal and fetal complications. To help with this, women ne…

This multi-site project (four VA Medical Centers) will test two approaches to improving the delivery of a behavioral insomnia treatment in the Primary Care setting to Veterans. The first approach is training providers to deliver Brief Behavioral Treatment for Insomnia (BBTI). The…

This is a pilot study to assess a new methodology developed for High Grade Glioma (HGG). FMISO PET (Fluoromisonidazole-PET) allows researchers to study whether tumor cells lack oxygen (hypoxia). FLT PET (Fluorodeoxythymidine-PET) allows researchers to study the increase in the nu…

The goal of this proposal is to identify how the composition of the gut microbiome and diet interact to impact chemotherapy-induced diarrhea incidence and severity.

Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is a debilitating condition involving excessive and uncontrollable worry and anxiety. Difficulty tolerating the uncertainties of life, known as intolerance of uncertainty (IU), has been shown to be key in the development and maintenance of GAD s…

Researchers are trying to identify predictors for gastroesophageal reflux disease after sleeve gastrectomy.

Mental health problems frequently complicate recovery from mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) but are under-recognized and under-treated. Our research program aims to identify evidence-based strategies for closing this knowledge-practice gap. Building on a successful pilot trial,…

The overall objective of the study is to examine the effects of integrating early child development group sessions into the existing, at-scale, community health and nutrition programs administered by the government in Madagascar.

Background: Visuospatial attention enables individuals to detect and process relevant stimuli efficiently. The posterior parietal cortex (PPC), a core hub of the dorsal attention network, exerts top-down control over visual scanning and is closely linked to alpha-band oscillation…

Perioperative immunologic signatures can predict the risk of postoperative complications. The results will be puplished as two smanuscripts. The manuscript will focus on preoperative immunologisk data,the second manuscript will include both pre- and postoperative data.

The study should evaluate the biological distribution of 99mTc-RM26 in patients with prostate cancer and breast cancer. The primary objective are: 1. To assess the distribution of 99mTc- RM26 in normal tissues and tumors at different time intervals. 2. To evaluate dosimetry of …
