Pain Processing in Inflammatory and Non-Inflammatory Chronic Pain Syndromes
Recruiting
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic musculoskeletal pain disorder that afflicts up to 4% of the general population. The evaluation of pain mechanisms in FM has shown predominant central abnormalities and therefore has been designated as nociplastic pain syndrome. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by polyarthritis and pain from inflamed tissues, consistent with nociceptive pain. FM and RA patients may utilize overlapping pain mechanisms resulting in nociceptive and nociplastic pain.

Analysis of CA-MRSA Transmission: An ED Population Sampling Strategy
Recruiting
Given that the Emergency Department (ED) has become the entry way for large populations of patients into the health care system, a strategy of sampling MRSA isolates in ED populations and merging this information with patient-level data may present a window to hypothesize and investigate CA-MRSA transmission within the community and its impact on hospital-acquired infections.

Home Operations Utilizing Stimulation
Recruiting
This project will utilize a home-operated stimulator in 1) a healthy young adult population and 2) a healthy older adult population to provide a proof of concept of home-use of transcutaneous vagal nerve stimulation (tVNS). tVNS is believed to modulate cognitive performance.

The PROspera Kidney Transplant ACTIVE Rejection Assessment Registry (ProActive)
Recruiting
The ProActive registry is a longitudinal, multi-center study with a prospective arm observing clinical care for patients receiving physician ordered Prospera, an allograft rejection test, and a historical control arm collecting data on cases at the same sites whose kidney allograft rejection status was managed with Serum Creatinine SCr/estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate eGFR. This registry will compare patient management and outcomes in patients who receive Prospera (Prospera arm) to the outco... Read More

To Determine the Activity and Mechanisms of Cranberries to Attenuate Skin Photoaging and Improve Skin Health in Women
Recruiting
Previous studies have shown that cranberry phytochemicals scavenge reactive carbonyls. Cranberry polyphenols have been reported to attenuate collagen degradation and inhibit oxidative stress in human cells. We hypothesize that cranberry juice consumption will attenuate skin photoaging and improve skin health in women via alleviate oxidative stress.

The Less is More Study
Recruiting
In this project, the investigators will implement innovations to extend use of Contingency Management (CM) to facilitate alcohol use reduction among people living with HIV (PLWH). The investigators' approach to extending CM will use mobile health (mHealth) tools including a smartphone breathalyzer device with accompanying app and a wrist worn alcohol biosensor. Participants will be engaged in mobile facilitated CM for 30-60 days with follow-up out to 6 months.

Pervasive Sensing and AI in Intelligent ICU
Recruiting
Important information related to the visual assessment of patients, such as facial expressions, head and extremity movements, posture, and mobility are captured sporadically by overburdened nurses, or are not captured at all. Consequently, these important visual cues, although associated with critical indices such as physical functioning, pain, delirious state, and impending clinical deterioration, often cannot be incorporated into clinical status. The overall objectives of this project are to s... Read More

Integrating Data, Algorithms and Clinical Reasoning for Surgical Risk Assessment
Recruiting
Brief Summary: The goal of this study is to implement and test an intelligent perioperative system (IPS) that in real-time predicts risk for postoperative complications using routine clinical data collected in electronic health records. The accuracy of computer-generated risk scores will be compared to physician's risk scores for the same patients. Physicians will be also asked to provide the opinion regarding the computer-generated risk scores using interactive interface with the program. The i... Read More
