Modulating Energy Density in Time-Restricted Eating
NCT06259435
Recruiting
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to test the effect of time-restricted eating (14-hour fast, 10-hour eating window) of a low-energy dense diet (reduced calories per gram of food) in older adults with obesity and insulin resistance. The study aims to determine if modulating the energy density of the diet reduces: 1. Insulin resistance and 2. Body weight. Researchers will compare the groups: 1. Following time-restricted eating and given a diet reduced in energy density or 2. Foll... Read More

A Novel Therapeutic Treatment of Pyoderma Gangrenosum
NCT05120726
Recruiting
Pyoderma gangrenosum is a chronic debilitating ulcerative neutrophilic condition usually affecting the skin. The pathogenesis of pyoderma gangrenosum is poorly understood. Pyoderma gangrenosum has been estimated to have an incidence rate of 3-10 per million populations per year. Mortality estimates range up to 30%. The non-healing wounds present a significant social and economic burden on affected patients. We hypothesize that EpiFix (dehydrated human amnion/chorion membrane) will be beneficial... Read More

Project Talk Trial: Engaging Underserved Communities in End-of-life Conversations
NCT04612738
Recruiting
Compared to the general population, individuals from underserved communities are more likely to receive low quality end-of-life care and unwanted, costly and burdensome treatments due in part to a lack of advance care planning (ACP; the process of discussing wishes for end-of-life care with loved ones/clinicians and documenting them in advance directives). This study will use existing, trusted, and respected social networks to evaluate two conversation-based tools intended to engage underserved... Read More
