The aim of this 12-month randomized multi-regional double-blind parallel group allopurinol and placebo-controlled phase 3 study is to assess the efficacy and safety of three different doses of Tigulixostat in gout patients with hyperuricemia. Read Less

Our goal is to test whether shared decision making for diabetes prevention can help women with a history of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) who are at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2DM) increase weight loss and adoption of evidence based strategies to lower their risk of incident diabetes.

Many control mechanisms exist which successfully match the supply of blood with the metabolic demand of various tissues under wide-ranging conditions. One primary regulator of vasomotion and thus perfusion to the muscle tissue is the host of chemical factors originating from the vascular endothelium and the muscle tissue, which collectively sets the level of vascular tone. With advancing age and in many disease states, deleterious adaptations in the production and sensitivity of these vasodilator and vasoconstrictor substances may be observed, leading to a reduction in skeletal muscle blood flow and compromised perfusion to the muscle tissue. Adequate perfusion is particularly important during exercise to meet the increased metabolic demand of the exercising tissue, and thus any condition that reduces tissue perfusion may limit the capacity for physical activity. As it is now well established that regular physical activity is a key component in maintaining cardiovascular health with advancing age, there is a clear need for further studies in populations where vascular dysfunction is compromised, with the goal of identifying the mechanisms responsible for the dysfunction and exploring whether these maladaptations may be remediable. Thus, to better understand the etiology of these vascular adaptations in health and disease, the current proposal is designed to study changes in vascular function with advancing age, and also examine peripheral vascular changes in patients suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), Sepsis, Pulmonary Hypertension, and cardiovascular disease. While there are clearly a host of vasoactive substances which collectively act to govern vasoconstriction both at rest and during exercise, four specific pathways that may be implicated have been identified in these populations: Angiotensin-II (ANG-II), Endothelin-1 (ET-1), Nitric Oxide (NO), and oxidative stress.

The overall goal is to examine the efficacy of a circadian intervention in people with overweight and obesity and habitual short sleep duration (HSSD). Participants will undergo a randomized controlled trial, with circadian intervention and control (healthy lifestyle) groups. The circadian intervention is designed to reduce nighttime light exposure and after-dinner snack food intake. Alternatively, the control group will receive basic health information (e.g., physical activity, goal setting, and nutrition when eating out). Read Less

This hybrid implementation-effectiveness trial will evaluate Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement (MORE) for patients with opioid use disorder receiving methadone treatment (MT). The investigators will also assess barriers and facilitators to integrating MORE into methadone treatment, and evaluate the impact of a sustainable train-the-trainer model on provider burden, intervention fidelity, intervention engagement, and outcomes. Participants will be assigned to a higher intensity MORE implementation strategy, a minimal intensity implementation strategy consisting of a simple, scripted mindfulness practice (SMP) extracted from the MORE treatment manual with minimal training and feedback and no supervision, or methadone treatment as usual (TAU). We aim to: Examine barriers and facilitators to the implementation of MORE and SMP in MT and evaluate strategies for optimizing training, fidelity, and engagement. Evaluate the effectiveness and treatment fidelity of a higher intensity MORE implementation strategy versus a lower intensity, scripted mindfulness practice (SMP) implementation strategy as an adjunct to methadone TAU or methadone TAU, only. Outcomes include opioid and other drug use, craving, MT discontinuation, depression, anxiety, and physical pain (secondary outcomes) than patients randomized to TAU. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to 1) examine barriers and facilitators to implementation of MI and MORE for polysubstance use and evaluate strategies for optimizing training, fidelity, and clinic uptake, and 2) evaluate patient outcomes related to the effectiveness of MORE decreasing opioid, tobacco, and other drug use.

The Smart Ankle-Foot Orthosis (Smart AFO) system is an investigational system that combines a diagnostic ankle-foot orthosis with a mobile application to assist clinicians in optimizing an AFO user's gait by adjusting AFO stiffness and range of motion settings, and quantifying functional walking improvements in post-stroke individuals. The purpose of the clinical testing is to evaluate the Smart AFO system with its target users: post-stroke AFO users and orthotists. This may include, but is not limited to, identifying any aspects of the Smart AFO system that could be improved through clinical testing and evaluating the gait of post-stroke AFO users walking with an AFO adjusted using the Smart AFO system.

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare different strategies to communicate around potential risks and benefits related to treatment decision making in parents/adult caregivers of children with medical complexity. The objective of this study is to identify the most effective ways to communicate decision-related risks and benefits to improve the quality of caregiver decision making for children with medical complexity. Participants will view a video of a simulated clinic visit and related medical information and complete a survey about their experiences. Researchers will compare participant survey responses to see if decision quality changes based on the information reviewed by the participant. Read Less

The primary objective of this Post Approval Study is to report the proportion of patients surviving to 30 days post CentriMag support or to hospital discharge, whichever is longer. For subjects who do not recover and are bridged to a heart transplant or a long-term assist device, the primary endpoint is survival to induction of anesthesia for the surgery. Read Less

The main purpose of the project is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of low dose metformin for improving symptoms associated with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) via modulating neuroinflammatory pathways. The investigators hypothesize that FMS patients in the low-dose metformin conditions will show greater improvement in FMS symptoms than those who are in the placebo group. Further, the investigators hypothesize that metformin will increase phosphorylated AMPK in peripheral immune cells of FMS patients and will decrease the transcription of mTORC1, NLRP3 inflammasome, and nociceptive cytokines interleukin 1beta and interleukin 18.
