Predicting Chronic Opioid Use Following Lower Extremity Joint Arthroplasty
Recruiting
Personalized medicine is a concept in which medical care is individualized to a patient based on their unique characteristics, including comorbidities, demographics, genetics, and microbiome. After major surgery, some patients are at increased risk of opioid dependence. By identifying unique genetic and microbiome markers, clinicians may potentially identify individual risk factors for opioid dependence. By identifying these high risk patients early-on, personalized interventions may be applied... Read More

Predicting Chronic Pain Following Breast Surgery
Recruiting
Breast surgery, which includes mastectomy, breast reconstructive surgery, or lumpectomies with sentinel node biopsies, may lead to the development of chronic pain and long-term opioid use. In the era of an opioid crisis, it is important to risk-stratify this surgical population for risk of these outcomes in an effort to personalize pain management. The opioid epidemic in the United States resulted in more than 40,000 deaths in 2016, 40% of which involved prescription opioids. Furthermore, it is... Read More

Lucid Registry Study
Recruiting
This is a multicenter, prospective, observational study designed to capture a limited set of data consisting of diagnostic test results and clinical management information on subjects who undergo EC/EG to assess for the presence of BE/EAC. Once sufficient time has elapsed for EsoGuard results to be available, as well as for any subsequent clinical evaluation to have been performed (e.g., upper endoscopy and any initial therapeutic management), study staff will obtain the desired information and...

Personalized Need-focused Single Session Intervention
Recruiting
This is a two-site randomized controlled trial, with two goals. First, the investigators aim to demonstrate that single-session interventions for mild-to-moderate anxiety and depression can generate statistically significant symptom change as a main effect across control and experimental (i.e. personalized) conditions. Second, the investigators hope to establish the additional incremental efficacy of personalization via person-specific intensive longitudinal data collection and analysis.

Anti-Inflammatory Dietary Intervention for Rheumatoid Arthritis
Recruiting
The primary objective of this study is to assess if there is a significant difference in the mean disease activity score in individuals with RA participating in a dietary intervention compared to those in the control group measured by DAS-28. Other measures to track disease activity will include monitoring number and severity of disease flares and any changes in medications. This will be done by completing a single-blinded randomized controlled trial, parallel in design. The study population wil... Read More

PET/MRI in the Diagnosis of Chronic Pain
Recruiting
Several studies have implicated involvement of sigma-1 receptors (SR1s) in the generation of chronic pain, while others are investigating anti SR1 drugs for treatment of chronic pain. Using \[18F\]-FTC-146 and positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI), the investigators hope to identify the source of pain generation in patients with chronic pain. The purpose of this study is to compare the uptake of \[18F\]FTC-146 in healthy volunteers to that of individuals suffering fro... Read More

The Effect of Beetroot Juice Supplementation Dose on Neuromuscular Performance During Resistance Exercise
Recruiting
Dietary nitrate supplementation, administered in the form of nitrate-rich beetroot juice, has been shown to improve exercise performance and may have more pronounced effects on exercise that requires high-power and high-velocity muscle contraction such as weightlifting and body-mass resisted exercise (i.e, resistance exercise). However, limited data are available that have examined the potential performance enhancing effect of beetroot juice in resistance exercise. Moreover, there is no informat... Read More

Early Trial of Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Patients Who Will Receive a Kidney Transplant From the Same Donor
Recruiting
This is a single center, non-randomized, non-controlled open-label phase 1b/2a trial of performing sequential αβdepleted-HSCT and KT in patients requiring KT to prevent kidney rejection post-KT, in the absence of any post-KT immunosuppression, to abrogate the need for lifelong immunosuppression, the risk of chronic rejection and, ultimately, the need for repeated transplantation.

The Efficacy of Systemic Valacyclovir (Valtrex) on Periodontitis
Recruiting
The experiment outlined in this proposal is designed to test the hypothesis that herpesvirus suppression by the systemic anti-herpesvirus valacyclovir (Valtrex) can significantly help to arrest the progressive course of severe marginal periodontitis in adult patients. A prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, clinical trial is employed to test this hypothesis.
