This study looks at how ketogenic diets impact heart health in adults with epilepsy. Researchers will measure cholesterol, blood pressure, weight, and artery thickness over 12 months. Participants are adults 18 or older who are already on a keto diet or starting the modified Atki…

This study compares how well AI and radiologists diagnose brain diseases using CT and MRI scans. Over 30,000 patients will be included, and the AI has been trained on more than 100,000 previous scans. The goal is to see if AI can match human experts and whether combining AI with …

This long-term study follows over 3,700 adults in Baltimore to understand why some people age healthier than others. Researchers are looking at how race, income, and neighborhood affect risks for diseases like diabetes, heart disease, and memory loss. Participants visit mobile he…

This study is creating a statewide collection of blood samples and medical information from people with various brain blood vessel diseases, such as stroke and dementia. The goal is to build a resource that scientists can use in future research to better understand and potentiall…

This study looks at how brain aneurysms (specifically intracranial dissecting aneurysms) change over time. Researchers are using high-resolution MRI scans and computer models to find patterns that might predict if an aneurysm will get worse. The goal is to build an AI tool that h…

This study looks at people with rare adrenal tumors (pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas) that do not produce excess hormones. Researchers want to see if these 'silent' tumors still cause heart problems, blood pressure changes, or metabolic issues like diabetes and high choleste…

This study collects blood and urine samples from 500 people with rare brain vessel diseases, such as CADASIL and moya-moya. Researchers aim to find biomarkers that could improve care or identify new treatment targets. Participants are already part of an existing rare disease coho…
