Multi-Center African-American Inflammatory Bowel Disease Study (MAAIS)
Recruiting
The investigators are doing the research to discover genes that cause Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) specifically in the African American population. African Americans with or without Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis are eligible to join. If you agree to join the study, the investigators will ask for information about your health. The investigators will also ask you to give us a blood sample so that they may discover the genes that cause IBD. The blood sample may be collected at Johns Hop... Read More

TSC Biosample Repository and Natural History Database
Recruiting
The TSC Biosample Repository collects and stores samples of blood, DNA, and tissues that scientists can request to use in their research. The samples we collect are all linked to clinical data in the TSC Natural History Database. The TSC Natural History Database captures clinical data to document the impact of the disease on a person's health over his or her lifetime. This data may be collected retrospectively or prospectively.

Clinical Trial Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of AGB101 for Treatment of Parkinson's Disease Related Psychosis
Recruiting
This clinical trial will test whether AGB101 (low-dose levetiracetam, 220 mg, extended release tablet) can improve symptoms of psychosis in Parkinson's disease. Participants will be asked to complete up to 5 in-person study visits over approximately 20 weeks. Participants will receive both AGB101 and a placebo to take once a day for 6 weeks, with a 4-week washout in between. Participation will also involve physical/neurological exams, questionnaires, paper and pencil tests, providing blood and u... Read More

Impact of NMES and HPRO on Recovery After SAH- Pilot Study
Recruiting
The study purpose is to investigate the hypothesis that in adults with SAH, early neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) and high protein supplementation (HPRO) will improve muscle mass, metabolic and inflammatory biomarker profiles, compared to SAH controls receiving standard of care interventions for nutrition and mobilization. The investigators will accomplish this by studying the effects of a high protein (HPRO) nutritional treatment as well as NMES intervention have upon muscle wasting... Read More

Optimal Pacing Rate for Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy
Recruiting
This is a prospective, randomized crossover study. The objective of the study is to determine if a pacing rate of 80 beats per minute (bpm) improves exercise tolerance during the 6-minute walk test. The investigators will randomly assign half of the participants to a starting rate of 60 bpm and then switch them to a rate of 80 bpm for 3 months, and vice versa.

Mono vs. Dual Therapy for Pediatric Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
Recruiting
The investigators' central hypothesis is that early combination therapy with two PAH-specific oral therapies that have been shown to be well tolerated in the pediatric population, sildenafil and bosentan, will result in better World Health Organization (WHO) functional class at 12 months after initiation of PAH treatment than therapy with sildenafil alone.

Nature IDEAS Study: an RCT to Increase Time Spent in Nature Among University Students
Recruiting
This project will first examine nature opportunities, belonging and benefits with a multi-state nature-based intervention with a focus on students of color. In light of the syndemic, 'nature deficit disorder' and poor mental health, the investigators anticipate several far-reaching impacts that will (a) test a nationally useful standardized way to quantify exposure; (b) invest in nature resources and accessibility on campuses; and (c) promote the mental health and therapeutic benefits of nature...

Behavioral Assessment and Treatment of Problem Behavior in Children With Cornelia de Lange Syndrome
Recruiting
The goals of this clinical trial are to identify factors associated with the development of problem behavior in Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS) and to develop an effective behavioral assessment and treatment model for problem behavior in children with CdLS. The hypotheses are as follows: 1. Based on pilot data, the investigators hypothesize that individuals with CdLS will exhibit preferences for auditory stimuli relative to other categories (e.g., visual, tactile) of stimuli. 2. Based on pil... Read More

The Safety and Tolerability of LBS-007 in Patients with Relapsed or Resistant Acute Leukaemias
Recruiting
The most common types of acute leukaemia are acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) and acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). AML is a heterogenous clonal disorder of haemopoietic progenitor cells and the most common and severe malignant leukemia in adults and is responsible for the highest mortality from leukemia. ALL is a neoplasm characterized by the growth of malignant lymphoblasts of the B or T lineage, leading to an inhibition of proliferation of the normal blood cell lineages. The primary objectiv...
