The purpose of this study is to collect a large amount of data that may assist in addressing the gap in knowledge of understanding pupillometer readings using a pupillometer device. The aim of this project is to establish normative values for pupillometer data. Measures of centr…

Background: \- Skin disease can have many causes. It can have widespread consequences, and in rare cases can lead to death. Researchers want to determine the causes of various types of skin diseases and find a way to treat them. Objectives: \- To determine the causes of variou…

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the use of the robot "SAFEWALKER" complement classical rehabilitation in a group of elderly patients over 70 years during the rehabilitation of post-fall syndrome.

Background: \- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used to investigate brain function. Researchers want to use MRI to better understand the function patterns and connections between brain regions in healthy people. This might help people with brain diseases in the future. Objec…

All over the world the increasing prevalence of chronic disorders and its impact on functional decline is challenging the sustainability of health care systems. Older individuals also frequently experience the reversible "frailty syndrome", which overlaps with chronic diseases, i…

The purpose of this study is to understand the role of nutrition and its effects on the eye and other tissues. The investigators propose to study this by validating and correlating various non-invasive measurement methods of carotenoid concentrations in the human eye and skin tis…

The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate that plasma concentrations of nucleosomes and free DNA differ between three groups: 1. pregnant patients with complications typical of placental insufficiency or venous thrombosis (group P), 2. healthy women (Group T1) and 3.…

The objective of this study, which will be realised in vitro on human samples, is to test 2 cell sources isolated from peritoneum for adult mesothelial cells (peritoneal samples) and from adipose tissue for the adipose stem cells (adipose tissue samples). The latter will be diffe…

This pilot research trial studies continuous activity monitoring during fractionated radiotherapy in patients with head and neck, lung, or gastrointestinal cancer. This study explores the use of fitness trackers to study the activity levels of patients before, during, and after r…

In this study we plan to demonstrate that ethanol induces skeletal muscle autophagy to degrade MAA adducts.

The objective of the study is to demonstrate whether cooling the uterine smooth muscle during cesarean section (following delivery of the fetus) will promote better uterine contraction and involution resulting in lower blood loss, use of fewer uterotonic medications, and fewer hy…

This study investigates the effects of cooling on the recovery and performance characteristic in young healthy subjects. The study is divided in two projects: Project A: investigates the effects of 20 min. post-exercise cooling on vertical jump performance and delayed onset musc…

Sleep disorders are a major public health issue, affecting 1 in 6 French. The medical impact at the individual level but also social and economic level (loss of productivity, morbidity, mortality) emphasize the need for one hand, to improve the investigators' understanding of the…

The purpose of the PaTH Clinical Data Research Network (CDRN) Study of Healthy Lifestyles, Body Weight and Health Care is to use clinical data from electronic health records (EHR) and patient reported outcomes (PRO) to answer questions of clinical importance to patients, provider…

Hip osteoarthritis is a frequent and invalidating disease. Early detection of cartilage modifications could provide better patient treatment. The T1rho MRI sequence allows the quantification of the cartilage signal that is correlated to modifications of the cartilage matrix, nota…

This screening tool will be used to identify significant relations of patients with advanced medical illness or serious hospitalization and family individuals who lost their loved one and who could use professional support in the future. We are interested in enrolling family memb…

Aim 1: To develop a prospective tissue and blood biorepository from patients with a history of Barrett's Esophagus (BE) or esophageal cancer (ECA) presenting to UNC hospitals for routine care upper endoscopy for their condition. Aim 2: To collect clinical data from patients with…

Most studies to date that have examined the factors underlying math achievement in children have focused on basic numerical knowledge. Yet, math skills are clearly not limited to basic numerical knowledge and recent behavioral studies suggest a relationship between math and deduc…

Background: \- Salivary glands in and around the mouth and throat make saliva. Salivary gland disorders can affect a person s quality of life. Studying people who have a disease that affects their salivary gland(s) may teach researchers about the disorders and their genetics. O…
