Brain Oxygen Optimization in Severe TBI, Phase 3
Recruiting
BOOST3 is a randomized clinical trial to determine the comparative effectiveness of two strategies for monitoring and treating patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) in the intensive care unit (ICU). The study will determine the safety and efficacy of a strategy guided by treatment goals based on both intracranial pressure (ICP) and brain tissue oxygen (PbtO2) as compared to a strategy guided by treatment goals based on ICP monitoring alone. Both of these alternative strategies are used in s... Read More

Diagnostic Utility of SGLT1/2 Inhibition to Facilitate Myocardial Glucose Suppression
Recruiting
This is a pilot mechanistic study of the diagnostic utility of sodium-glucose cotransporter-1/2 inhibition (SGLT1/2) on myocardial glucose suppression on FDG PET/CT. The investigators will test whether the addition of a SGLT1/2 inhibitor (SGLT1/2i) plus the standard dietary modification (ketogenic diet) will provide enhanced myocardial glucose suppression. The primary objective is to assess rates of complete myocardial glucose suppression (MGS) with 7 days of sotagliflozin 400 mg QD among health... Read More

Longitudinal Assessment of Brain Structure and Function in Juvenile-onset Huntington's Disease
Recruiting
The goal of this observational study is to learn about brain development in Juvenile-onset Huntington's Disease (JoHD). The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is brain development different in JoHD than Adult-onset Huntington's Disease (AoHD)? * Can reliable biomarkers for JoHD be found in brain structure and function? Participants will be asked to complete cognitive tests, behavioral assessments, physical and neurologic evaluation, and MRI. Data collected will be compared to populations... Read More
