This project will employ functional brain imaging to study the mechanism and immediate and long-term effects of psilocybin, a serotonin receptor 2A agonist, on cortical and cortico-subcortical brain networks in healthy adults.

The investigators' overall objective is to demonstrate the efficacy of the Bullying Classroom Check-Up (BCCU) on elementary aged students' aggressive and bullying behaviors, teacher practices, and student and teacher relationships. The investigators' principal hypothesis is that …

The objective of this study is to measure the Brillouin biomechanical properties in keratoconic corneas and characterize biomechanical alterations that occur after corneal procedures that inherently strengthen or weaken the cornea by evaluating the change in Brillouin metrics bef…

This study aims to determine the health effects of very low nicotine content in cigarettes, in conjunction with the availability of nicotine-containing electronic cigarettes (e-cigs) among smokers with mental health conditions (SMHC).

The goal of the study is to generate a biorepository of longitudinal biofluids-blood (plasma and serum), cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) and urine linked to genetics and longitudinal clinical information that are made available to the research community. To accomplish these goals, we…

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by persistent hyperglycemia, which contributes to the formation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) and increases the risk of long-term complications. Bitter melon (Momordica charantia L.) contain…

Abstract Aim of the Study: This study aimed to compare the effects of Electro Muscle Stimulation (EMS) exercise on physical performance in sedentary women. Methods: Our study was conducted with a total of 27 sedentary women, 12 EMS, and 15 controls, aged 19-24 years. The tests a…

To achieve global goals for the treatment of HIV, many countries are piloting and scaling up differentiated service delivery models (DSD). A handful of efforts have been formally described and evaluated in the literature; many others are being implemented formally or informally u…

This is a pilot, cross-sectional, sample collection study to characterize the immune response and intestinal microorganisms in people with and without COVID-19 antibodies and helminth infection.

This multicenter prospective observational study aims to evaluate whether preoperative clinical variables and wearable sensor-derived gait features can predict postoperative improvement after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Participants will undergo standardized gait assessments u…

Fatigue and exercise intolerance after survived COVID-19-infection might be related to weakness of the respiratory muscles especially following invasive mechanical ventilation in the Intensive Care Unit. The aim of the project is to measure respiratory muscle function and streng…

Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection affected 292 million individuals in the world, translating to about 3.9% of global prevalence. Up to 40% of patients with CHB will develop liver-related complications. Many patients require long-term oral antiviral therapy since off-treatment s…

According to guidelines, when a mild-to-moderate hypoglycemia occurs (capillary blood glucose \< 4.0 mmol/L), 15-20g of rapidly absorbed carbohydrates should be ingested. Patients should re-test and re-ingest 15-20g carbohydrates every 15 minutes until they recover from hypoglyce…

The study will examine if variability in created value (outcome/costs) over the care cycle for ASD patients can be explained by patient and treatment characteristics.

Intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) is one of the most important causes of ischemic stroke and is also associated with some recurrent stroke. Safety and effective treatment of ICAD is an important precondition to improve the prognosis of patients. The current therapy for …

Point-of care-ultrasonography has the potential to transform healthcare delivery through its diagnostic and therapeutic utility. Its use has become more widespread across a variety of clinical settings as more investigations have demonstrated its impact on patient care. This incl…

In our study, to research the prevalence of hyperoxemia in adult patients treated in the intensive care unit (ICU) and its relationship with clinical outcomes. This single-center, observational study included 260 consecutive patients aged 18-85 years who received oxygen therapy i…

High blood pressure and poor cognitive function are two common health problems among older adults in the United States. They are also closely related because high blood pressure may lead to negative changes in brain structure and function such as poor brain blood flow that can ca…

This completed observational study evaluated the expression of Hippo-YAP pathway-related genes and proteins and selected microRNAs in maternal blood, placental tissue, and myometrial tissue obtained from women who underwent cesarean delivery at term or preterm gestational ages. …
