Pharmacological Activation of HMN for OSA Aim 2
Recruiting
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is common and has major health implications but treatment options are limited. OSA patients show a marked reduction in upper airway (UA) dilator muscle activity at sleep onset and this phenomenon leads to increased collapsibility of UA compared to normal subjects. In this protocol the investigators will test the effect of LTM1201AZ, LTM1201AT, LTM1201AD, LTM1201AG administered before sleep on OSA phenotype traits and OSA severity during sleep.

Genes and Environment in Multiple Sclerosis
Recruiting
The purpose of the research study is to identify the genetic, environmental and immune profiles that may increase a person's risk of developing multiple sclerosis (MS). While MS is not a disease caused by a single variation in genetic material (DNA), a single environmental factor, or a single malfunction in immune cells, there are genetic alterations, environmental exposures and immunologic factors that make the development of MS more likely. Obtaining information about who is at risk for MS wil... Read More
