The Effects of a Low Glycemic Load Diet on Dysglycemia and Body Composition in Adults With Cystic Fibrosis-Related Diabetes
Recruiting
This study will evalute the effect of a low glycemic load (LGL diet on dysglycemia, insulin requirements, DXA-derived body composition, gastrointestinal symptoms and quality of life measures in adults with cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD). We will use continuous glucose monitors (CGM) to assess the LGL diet both in a controlled setting (via a meal delivery company) and in free-living conditions.

Injectable Extended-Release Buprenorphine (XR-B) in a Correctional Setting: Qualitative Interviews
Recruiting
This qualitative study investigates the potential benefits and challenges of using a once-a-month injectable medication, known as extended-release buprenorphine (XR-B), to treat individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD) within a correctional setting. The research aims to understand if XR-B can be a feasible and effective alternative to the standard daily treatment and to identify which groups within the prison population may benefit the most from this treatment. In-depth interviews are conducte... Read More

Control Systems Engineering for Weight Loss Maintenance
Recruiting
This project capitalizes on principles of control systems engineering to build a dynamical model that predicts weight change during weight loss maintenance using behavioral, psychosocial, and environmental indicators evaluated in a system identification experiment. A 6-month behavioral obesity treatment will be administered to produce weight loss. Participants losing at least 3% of initial body weight will be followed for an additional 12 months via daily smartphone surveys that incorporates pas... Read More

Intranasal Insulin for Treatment of Alcohol Use Disorder
Recruiting
This is a randomized controlled trial (RCT), within-subject, crossover, double-blind, placebo-controlled in non-treatment-seeking individuals with Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) (N=40, 50% female) randomized to IN insulin or placebo. In a bar laboratory setting, randomized participants will receive a single dose of IN insulin (80IU) or an IN matched placebo (0.9% Saline). Participants will undergo a cue-reactivity paradigm followed by an alcohol challenge that includes an alcohol drink designed to r... Read More

High Dose Buprenorphine (BUP) Induction in the Emergency Department (ED)
Recruiting
This project, involving two distinct clinical trials, tests whether induction to a higher than currently recommended buprenorphine (BUP) induction dose is safe and can improve the proportion of patients who engage in comprehensive addiction services within 7-day of induction. Trial 1 is a head-to-head comparison of the safety, tolerability and feasibility of high dose BUP induction (32 mg). The study involves two cohorts, (1) a 12mg cohort (standard) to determine baseline data and (2) a 32 mg (... Read More

NIMH K23: Modulation of Frontoparietal Dynamics in Adolescent Working Memory Deficits
Recruiting
Working memory (WM) deficits are a transdiagnostic feature of adolescent psychopathology that substantially contribute to poor clinical and functional outcomes. This proposal will utilize a multimodal neuroscientific approach to investigate whether non-invasive brain stimulation can modulate the neural mechanisms underlying adolescent WM deficits. Directly in line with NIMH priorities, the researchers will identify the contributing roles of prefrontal and parietal regions in WM processes, as wel... Read More
