The goal of this study is to use electromyography-based train-of-four monitoring (TetraGraph™ Neuromuscular Transmission Monitor) as a means of evaluating differences in neuromuscular transmission between infants ≤ 3 months of age and adolescent and older patients (≥ 12 years of …

The purpose of this research study is to test the accuracy of the Dexcom continuous glucose monitoring device during the cardiothoracic surgical procedure and recovery period in the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit. Readings from the device will be compared with the standard of care b…

This study is looking for healthy female adults to use an vaginal ring with differing amounts of the hormone progesterone and go through a series of blood draws to measure how much progesterone is in the body following the use of these vaginal rings over an extended period of tim…

The purpose of this study is to compare oxygen saturation measurement readings from manufactured pulse oximetry devices to the oxygen saturation measurements of arterial blood samples drawn at the same time of measurements.

Lynch syndrome is a genetic condition that increases cancer risk. The public health impact of genetic testing for disease prevention hinges on cascade screening, which is the systematic identification and testing of blood relatives after a family member has been diagnosed with a …

This study aims to analyze the effects of an 8-week strength training program combining different exercise intensities and blood flow restriction (BFR) conditions on safety, tolerability, muscle adaptations, and physical performance variables. Three training modalities will be co…

Cancer pain is a significant clinical problem that directly affects patients' quality of life and requires nurses to be equipped with adequate knowledge and skills to provide effective care. The current shift in knowledge and skill acquisition from traditional teaching methods to…

The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of using non-invasive transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) to examine physiological and psychological responses in a college-aged healthy population

The investigators would like to study the differences in the quality of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) between two different machines in those with knee osteoarthritis. Knee osteoarthritis means your cartilage has been worn down, and it affects your knee joint. Both machines, the APE…

This study will investigate the use of real-time fMRI to change how participants perceive social information.

Occlusion pressure at 100 ms (P0.1) is a reliable and non-invasive index of inspiratory drive that can be measured easily on most ventilator. Unfortunately, P0.1 cannot be measured reliably in non-intubated patients. In those receiving non-invasive ventilation, the measurement of…

The purpose of this study is to better understand how electrical or magnetic stimulation affect the nervous system by optimizing the way researchers measure muscle responses. The relationship between stimulation intensity and muscle response is described by "neural recruitment cu…

A registry for the study of the epidemiology, clinical course, and progression of myelodysplastic neoplasms (MDS), myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasms (MDS/MPN overlap syndromes), and their precursor syndromes (CHIP, CCUS)

This study examines how hand grip strength changes over the course of a competitive ice hockey season in elite male and female players. Hand grip strength is a simple and widely used measure of upper-body strength and functional capacity. It is often used in sports science and c…

Public understanding of tuberculosis (TB) is shaped by sociocultural norms, educational background, and personal experiences. Misconceptions about TB transmission, disease severity, and treatment side effects are widespread, contributing to stigma and fear of social rejection. Su…

The purpose of the present study is to characterize the endocrine and metabolic responses to a modest, short-term energy deficiency (\~250 kcal/day) across the menstrual cycle in recreationally active women using different contraceptive methods (oral contraceptive, hormonal IUD, …

Intravenous (IV) fluids-fluids given directly into a vein-are among the most common treatments used in intensive care units (ICUs). They are given for several reasons, such as supporting blood pressure, providing daily water and salts, replacing losses, or diluting medications. H…

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is the primary stabilizer of the knee joint, and ACL injuries are highly prevalent, particularly among physically active and athletic individuals. Although ACL reconstruction is a well-established orthopedic procedure, significant challenges r…

The goal of this study is to establish if non-invasive closed-loop neuromodulation is an effective approach to enhance cognitive function in healthy 18-40 years old volunteers. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Can closed-loop stimulation increase stimulation effective…

This study examines how the characteristics and performance of virtual assistants influence user experience in service settings. Approximately 400 adults will interact with virtual assistants presented as avatars, chatbots, or voice assistants in simulated tourism, cultural, reta…
