Functional and Structural Assessment of Endobronchial Valve Recipients Using Dynamic Hyperpolarized Xenon-129 MRI
NCT05433961
Recruiting
This study proposes to use hyperpolarized xenon-129 Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to study lung function of COPD patients who will receive endobronchial valve (EBV) therapy as part of their clinical standard-of-care. Once inhaled, HP xenon can provide information to imagers regarding functionality across specific regions of the lungs through the assessment of the replacement of air during the normal breathing cycle, how much oxygen is in the airspaces, and if the normal spongy tissue structur...

Transient Receptor Potential Channels
NCT06444594
Recruiting
Neurovascular signaling in the skin associated with stimulation of the transient receptor potential (TRP) channels. These channels are stimulated by both temperature and naturally occurring bioactive agents found in mint, chili peppers, garlic, etc. The aim of the study is to examine how topically applied TRP channel agonists including menthol, capsaicin and camphor impact neurovascular responses in the skin.

Sodium Glucose Co-transporter (SGLT) Inhibitors in Nonobstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
NCT06433050
Recruiting
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if sotagliflozin, a dual SGLT1 and SGLT2 inhibitor, works to treat symptomatic, nonobstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (noHCM) in adult patients. It will also learn about the safety of sotagliflozin in this patient population. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Will sotagliflozin be well tolerated in patients with nonobstructive HCM? 2. Will sotaglifozin improve exercise capacity, diastolic dysfunction and/or physical functioning in pati... Read More

Time-in-bed Restriction in Older Adults With Sleep Difficulties With and Without Risk for Alzheimer's Disease
NCT05138848
Recruiting
Dementia caused by Alzheimer's disease affects approximately 5.6 million adults over age 65, with costs expected to rise from $307 billion to $1.5 trillion over the next 30 years. Behavioral interventions have shown promise for mitigating neurodegeneration and cognitive impairments. Sleep is a modifiable health behavior that is critical for cognition and deteriorates with advancing age and Alzheimer's disease. Thus, it is a priority to examine whether improving sleep modifies Alzheimer's disease... Read More
