Short title : X-linked biological response to HIV sensing: the ANRS EP 53 study. Main outcome : To demonstrate that HIV-infected women carry the TLR7 c.32A\>T SNP at a higher frequency than uninfected women, arguing in favor of a role of impaired production of IFN-alpha by pDC…

The growing incidence of cancer associated to an aging population represents an epidemiologic reality that requires questioning access to care and prognosis in elderly with cancer, for which disparities have been highlighted. However, generally speaking, studies are limited in th…

This project will conduct a retrospective clinical database review and a one-time research interview to evaluate outcomes among a sub-set of caregivers (CGs) who were enrolled in the Behavioral Health Laboratory (BHL) Caregiver Outreach and Telehealth Education Program (COTP). Th…

Cardiovascular complications of NSAIDs, selective for inhibition of COX-2, stimulated interest in microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1 (mPGES-1) as an alternative drug target. Global deletion of mPGES-1 in mice suppresses PGE2 and augments PGI2 by PGH2 substrate rediversion. Unl…

The overall goal is to define and characterize the manometric characteristics of UES incompetence associated with objectively documented pharyngeal reflux. The investigators will use endoscopic reflux detection as gold standard.

Acquired brain injury can affect cognition and cause fatigue. Aerobic exercise has been linked to improved cognition in the general population. This is thought to occur through boosting neuroplasticity, that is to say the brain's ability to change and adapt. Investigators explore…

The primary study objective is to measure the electrical fields evoked by tDCS using subjects who have implanted intracranial electrodes as part of their evaluation for epilepsy surgery. The measurements obtained in these subjects and their brain MRI will be employed to validate …

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the reproducibility of a method of measuring blood flow rates to the tracheo-bronchial mucosa using diluted dimethyl ether as a tracer.

Anesthesia for emergency surgery is a situation at risk of pulmonary aspiration of gastric contents. It has been previously reported that bedside two-dimensional ultrasonography can be a useful tool for anesthesiologists to determine gastric contents and volume in adults and chil…

Since 2009, a programmatic community-based strategy (COPE) has been implemented to address health disparities among Navajo individuals living with multiple chronic conditions. COPE (Community Outreach and Patient Empowerment) targets individual, family, and health system-level fa…

This is a prospective, single-center, pilot, cohort study. The first phase of this study is observational and the usual care of patients is maintained during the ICU stay, except for an interview with a psychologist preceding patient discharge. A phone interview at 2 months and a…

After an allergen challenge, the allergic inflammatory response disappears spontaneously. The initiation of the resolution of the inflammatory response is now recognized as a dynamic process, involving active biochemical programs that enable inflamed tissues to return to homeosta…

The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of Botox® (Onabotulinum Toxin A) versus Xeomin® (incobotulinum toxin A) for the treatment of forehead and glabellar (vertical lines between the eyebrows) wrinkles.

The researchers are trying to identify molecular mechanisms that control growth plate mediated limb growth and identify agents that can be used to enhance or slow growth.

The goal of this clinical trial is to test whether photography-based, smartphone exercises can increase well-being and reduce depressive symptoms in college and graduate students. The main questions it aims to answer are: Can savoring and/or social sharing of positive experience…

The purpose of this study is to collect data to help researchers identify factors that prevent certain individuals from receiving the beneficial effects of exercise.

This data collection project is intended to provide clinical outcomes data to engineering, marketing as well as fulfill the post market surveillance requirements of various regulatory authorities. The study will be a prospective and one-arm.

This is an open-label, non-randomized study. The purpose of this study is to better understand how vaccines against typhoid fever affect the normal immune system and bacteria in the intestine. Patients having standard-of-care colonoscopies will be divided into 3 groups: Group 1:…

Type 2 Diabetes (TD2) is the leading cause of new cases of preventable blindness in these countries (and the gold-standard treatment, laser photocoagulation has proven to be effective in preventing vision loss at the end stage of eye disease due to proliferative diabetic retinopa…

MicroRNAs (miRNA) are molecular biomarkers that post-transcriptionally control target genes. Deregulated miRNA expression has been observed in diverse cancers. In high grade gliomas, known as glioblastomas, the investigators have identified an oncogenic miRNA, miRNA-10b (mir-10b)…
