Minds Navigating the Diagnosis of Mild Cognitive Impairment
Recruiting
The goal of this clinical trial is to find out if a 9 week group therapy using video from home will help veterans with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). The main questions it aims to answer are: * is the video therapy user-friendly for veterans? * does it improve veterans well-being and quality-of-life? Veterans will be asked to attend nine 1 hour small group video sessions and will complete questionnaires before and after the sessions. Researchers will compare the group of veterans that start...

Use of Harmonic Scalpel to Decrease Lymphatic and Chest Tube Drainage After Lymph Node Dissection With Lobectomy.
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.

PrEP Intervention Among Black Sexual Minority Men
Recruiting
The goal of the proposed research is to design a peer-based community intervention focused on addressing internalized homophobia, internalized racism, HIV stigma, and peer BSMM support to increase PrEP initiation among BSMM in Prince George's County, MD. Participants will attend intervention events focused on stigma reduction and building community among Black queer men. Researchers will compare intervention and control group participants to see if there in a difference in PrEP initiation and ad... Read More

Androgen Blockade and Progesterone Augmentation of Gonadotropin Secretion
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.

Conditions: PCOS, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Relative Desirability of Metformin vs. Birth Control Pill in Treating PCOS in Women of Later Reproductive Age
Recruiting
The goal of this study is to determine the relative desirability of metformin vs. oral combined hormonal contraceptives (OCs) in treating Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) in women of later reproductive age. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Questionnaire (PCOSQ) score will be used as a proxy for patient satisfaction. In light of their respective effects on the classic and metabolic facets of PCOS, metformin will provide non-inferior patient satisfaction compared to OCs in later reproductive age women wi...

Relative Contributions of Predictors of Hyperandrogenism in Older vs. Young Women With PCOS
Recruiting
The objective of the study is to determine the relative contributions of four established predictors of hyperandrogenism (luteinizing hormone \[LH\] secretion, ovarian response to recombinant human chorionic gonadotropin \[r-hCG\] administration, adrenal response to adrenocorticotropic hormone \[ACTH\] administration, and hyperinsulinemia) in older vs. young women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) in a cross-sectional, physiological study. The investigators hypothesize that hyperinsulinemia... Read More

Study to Assess Potential Impairments in Estradiol Augmentation of Gonadotropin Secretion in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Recruiting
The purpose of this study is to determine if estradiol augmentation of luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion secretion (primary endpoint) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) secretion (secondary endpoint) is reduced in adult women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

Hyperandrogenemia and Altered Day-night LH Pulse Patterns
Recruiting
The purpose of this study is to determine if, in mid- to late pubertal girls with hyperandrogenism, androgen-receptor blockade (spironolactone) improves the ability of progesterone to acutely reduce waking luteinizing hormone pulse frequency (primary endpoint).

Assessment of Day-night Secretion of Progesterone and LH Across Puberty
Recruiting
Hormones are substances that are made by the body and are sent directly out into the bloodstream to increase or decrease the function of certain organs, glands, or other hormones. Testosterone is a hormone found in the blood of all girls, but some girls have too much testosterone in their blood. Too much testosterone in the blood can possibly lead to a problem called polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). People with PCOS have abnormal menstrual periods, excess facial and body hair, and too much test... Read More

Suppression of Daytime and Nighttime Luteinizing Hormone Frequency by Progesterone
Recruiting
During childhood, the levels of certain hormones: gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), estrogen, and progesterone are very low. However, when puberty starts, GnRH and LH pulses begin to increase, but they initially do so at night only. It is unknown why GnRH and LH pulses increase at night and then decrease during the day (instead of being increased all the time). The purpose of this study is to see how quickly progesterone reduces... Read More
