After a severe traumatic brain injury, keeping the right blood flow to the brain is critical. This study tests a new approach: instead of using the same blood pressure target for everyone, doctors will use a special technology to find the 'optimal' target for each patient. The st…

This study tests a new decision-making tool called IMPROVE, which uses an MRI scan to find unstable plaque in the carotid artery. The goal is to see if this method is as good as or better than the current standard (which mainly looks at how narrow the artery is) for deciding who …

This study looks at whether eating 50 grams of walnuts daily for 24 weeks can improve blood flow and insulin sensitivity in the brain, as well as thinking skills and appetite control. The researchers will study 55 adults aged 45–75 with abdominal obesity, using MRI scans to measu…

This study tests a drug called tarlatamab in 35 adults with small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain but is not causing symptoms. The goal is to see if the drug can shrink or control these brain tumors. Participants must have already had standard chemotherapy and be in…

This study aims to find the exact amount of protein that helps healthy young adults build muscle most efficiently. Twelve participants aged 18-35 will try different protein levels in a controlled setting. The goal is to learn, not to treat any disease.

This study looks at whether eating 4-5 servings of dairy foods daily (like milk, cheese, and yogurt) can improve brain function and insulin sensitivity in overweight adults aged 40-75. Participants will be split into high-dairy and low-dairy groups for several weeks. Researchers …

This study looks at how different protein sources (plant-based vs. dairy) and a mild electrical muscle stimulation affect muscle building during 4 days of bed rest. Twenty healthy young adults will be monitored to see which combination best prevents muscle loss. The goal is to fi…

This study aims to learn more about how liver cirrhosis progresses over time by having patients share their medical and remote monitoring data. About 750 adults with liver cirrhosis will take part, and there is no treatment or intervention involved. The goal is to better understa…

This study looks at how young, healthy adults digest and absorb protein from beef when eaten by itself or as part of a mixed meal. Ten participants aged 18-35 will eat a meal with 25 grams of beef protein on two separate days. Researchers will measure amino acid levels in the blo…

This study aims to see if spreading out protein intake throughout the day helps build more muscle after resistance exercise compared to eating most protein in one meal. Researchers will study 36 healthy adults aged 18-40. The goal is to understand how the body uses protein for mu…
