Statins In Intracerbral Hemorrhage
NCT03936361
Recruiting
The SATURN trial aims to determine whether continuation vs. discontinuation of statin drugs after spontaneous lobar intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is the best strategy; and whether the decision to continue/discontinue statins should be influenced by an individual's Apolipoprotein-E (APOE) genotype. An MRI ancillary study (SATURN MRI), in a subset of SATURN participants , will evaluate the effects of continuation vs. discontinuation of statin drugs on hemorrhagic and ischemic MRI markers of cere...

Perception in Parkinson's Disease
NCT05483036
Recruiting
The investigators plan to examine the relation of perceptual variables-basic vision, unusual perceptual experiences(including but not limited to visual hallucinations)-to relevant functional variables such as cognition, mood, and alertness/sleepiness in an online sample of persons with Parkinson's disease (PwPD). It is hypothesized that unusual perceptual experiences will relate significantly to the selected variables. Participants do not need to experience visual hallucinations to be able to pa... Read More

Cerebellar Modulation of Cognition in Psychosis
NCT06107764
Recruiting
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about cognition in psychotic disorders (schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and schizoaffective disorder). The main question it aims to answer is: Can we use magnetic stimulation to change processing speed (how quickly people can solve challenging tasks). Participants will be asked to perform cognitive tasks (problem-solving) and undergo brain scans before and after transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). TMS is a way to non-invasively change brain acti... Read More

AI Detection of Incidental Coronary Artery Calcium to Enhance Cardiovascular Disease Prevention
NCT06235112
Recruiting
AI INFORM is a multicenter randomized trial that will test the hypothesis that providing clinicians information on the presence and amount of coronary artery calcifications (CAC), will result in initiation or intensification of preventive therapies. The study will use a cloud-based artificial intelligence (AI) platform (Nanox.AI) that can analyze non contrast chest CT and estimate the amount of CAC.

Clinical Utility of Portable Dynamic Chest X Ray (DDR) in the ICU
NCT06538376
Recruiting
Dynamic digital radiography (DDR) is a new advanced version of chest radiography that captures dynamic images at a rate of 15 frames per second. It is coupled with an analytical software that allows it to provide more advanced measures of lung motion, ventilation, and perfusion compared to traditional chest radiography. While implementation of DDR fixed machines are beginning elsewhere in the US, this trial involves the first applications of an FDA-approved portable DDR machine, for use at the b... Read More

OMEGA: Outcome Measures in Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Disorders Across the Ages
NCT02523118
Recruiting
The purpose of this observational study is to find the best measures to define how well a person with eosinophilic disorder is doing. People with EoE, EoG, EoN and EoC normally undergo endoscopy and/or colonoscopy where cells are collected for microscopic analysis. Treatments are then decided based on how the cells look. We are aiming to compare different tissue components such as inflammatory cell types with clinical symptoms. We want to see if scores on standard questionnaires can give us an i... Read More
