Associations Between the Microbiome, Skeletal Muscle Perfusion, and Fitness Status
NCT06009276
Recruiting
The purpose of the study is to determine associations between fitness status, bacteria in the mouth, and the blood flow to muscle.

The Use of Memantine for Prevention of Alzheimer's Disease
NCT05063851
Recruiting
As the US population ages, the prevalence of dementia is increasing, and Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is the most prevalent one. Solving the Alzheimer's Disease (AD) epidemic is likely to require preventive therapy beginning many years before symptoms are expected to be evident in at-risk individuals. AD is caused by the dysfunction, loss of synapses, and eventual neuronal death, which may occur up to 25 years before clinical symptoms appear. This study, based off of pre-clinical data, seeks to asse... Read More

The Effects of Oral Inorganic Nitrate Supplementation on Lower Limb Perfusion During Exercise in Patients With PAD
NCT05036213
Recruiting
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a highly prevalent and costly condition. Intermittent claudication (IC), defined as ischemic leg pain that occurs with walking, results in functional impairment, reduced daily physical activity, and a lower quality of life. Although the mechanisms contributing to functional impairment are not fully delineated, current evidence suggests that the uncoupling of skeletal muscle cellular metabolism from tissue perfusion may be responsible for exercise intolerance....

Use of Harmonic Scalpel to Decrease Lymphatic and Chest Tube Drainage After Lymph Node Dissection With Lobectomy.
NCT00591552
Recruiting
In an effort to elucidate whether the Harmonic Scalpel will improve sealing lymphatics and decrease lymphatic drainage thereby decreasing the length of time that chest tubes are required and minimizing length of stay; the Harmonic Scalpel will be compared to a control group which uses electrocautery. This study will assess these two different methods to determine if there is a notable decrease in the amount of drainage with one versus the other.

Androgen Blockade and Progesterone Augmentation of Gonadotropin Secretion
NCT04597099
Recruiting
This study is trying to find out if flutamide (a medication that blocks the effects of testosterone) may help normalize an aspect of pituitary function (specifically, gonadotropin surge generation) in PCOS. This is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded, crossover study. The investigators hypothesize that in estradiol-pretreated women with PCOS, acute progesterone augmentation of FSH release (positive feedback) will be enhanced by flutamide.
