Osteopenia and osteoporosis are increasingly reported in HIV-infected patients, and appear to be more frequent than in general population. However, pathogenesis remains unclear, and published studies still give non concordant results. We therefore started a prospective study, to…

The goal of the present study is to establish a prospective observational cohort of Rheumatoid Arthritis patients in order to 1. Determine and validate biomarkers that predict drug response and toxicity in RA. 2. Determine and validate biomarkers that predict disease activity an…

The goal of this clinical research study is to see if ovarian cancer patients who add Juice PLus+ and Juice Plus+ Complete to their diets have better outcomes when compared to ovarian cancer patients who receive only dietary counseling alone.

This study will use PET scans, which is a type of x-ray test that uses a radiotracer, to see whether these scans may be better able to find places in the body where your prostate cancer may have spread.

We, the researchers, are following the natural history of Albright hereditary osteodystrophy. We have found that growth hormone deficiency is very common in patients with pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1A, which falls under the broader condition termed Albright hereditary osteodys…

Application of computational statistics and machine learning methods to data derived from electronic health records of patients diagnosed with sarcoma.

The purposes of this study are: * to determine if there are specific genetic traits that might explain why patients have developed pulmonary fibrosis; * to determine if specific genetic traits account for differing patterns of inflammation and scar tissue that has formed in the …

To describe the broad spectrum of Bipolar Disorder patients admitted to out-patient and in-patient psychiatric departments in Norway. Include all admitted Bipolar patients both with and without co-morbid disorders.

RATIONALE: Collecting and storing samples of tissue, blood, and other body fluids to test in the laboratory and gathering information about health and lifestyle from participants may help doctors learn more about cancer risk factors. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is looking at bi…

Basic objective of the German Adrenocortical Carcinoma Registry is to improve the care of patients with adrenocortical cancer. The registration of as many patients as possible helps to collect data for the prognosis and prospects of success regarding different treatment plans. Th…

The goal of this behavioral research study is to find a quick and effective way to identify depression in patients with ovarian, peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer. Another goal of this study is to compare an intervention program with "enhanced" standard care to see which may b…

The aim of this trial is to verify that neurostimulated parkinsonian patients gain weight and to study its link with an energetic balance change.

The collection of human specimens from both patients and healthy volunteers is necessary for the development of laboratory assays to further basic and clinical research studies. This protocol defines the purposes for which specimens will be collected and establishes general condi…

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is the most common inherited kidney disease, affecting more than 400,000 people in the U.S. and 5 million people worldwide. PKD is the 4th most common cause of kidney failure requiring dialysis and/or transplantation. Over half o…

This study will examine pathophysiology and immune response of anthrax in infected or exposed individuals to learn more about the disease symptoms, prevention and response to treatment. In addition, it will evaluate immune response to the anthrax vaccine AVA (Anthrax Vaccine Adso…

The purpose of this study is to see what a lab test will show and if there is a way to predict which patients will be more likely to have rejection after receiving a liver transplant.

This was a randomized controlled trial aimed to evaluate the effects of an herbal Ayurvedic herbal supplement in comparison to a Vitamin C/E supplement and an inert placebo on heart health. There were three treatment groups: Maharishi Amrit Kalash (MAK), vitamin C+E and the place…

The purpose of this study is to study the genetic profile of head and neck tumors and their relationship to treatment response and outcome

Based on our current understanding of Aicardi syndrome, the condition is hypothesized to occur due to a genetic change on the X-chromosome. The research team is investigating Aicardi syndrome to identify the specific gene location associated with the disorder. The investigators a…

This study will examine growth factors that promote and inhibit mast cell proliferation resulting in mastocytosis, a disease of excessive mast cells in the body. These cells can release chemicals that cause itching, blisters, flushing, bone pain and abdominal pain. Patients up t…
