EMPOWER 3: Improving Palliative Care Health Literacy and Utilization
Recruiting
Through this award, Michael Hoerger, PhD, MSCR, a psychologist at the Tulane Cancer Center in Louisiana, will lead a study called EMPOWER 3 designed to test an educational intervention to help patients understand palliative care, use it, and feel better emotionally and physically. Participants will be adults with serious cancer diagnoses. Participants will be randomized into two groups. Patients in the control group will get enhanced usual care, meaning standard cancer care and several additiona... Read More

Longitudinal Prospective Study of Neurocognition & Neuroimaging in Primary BT Patients
Recruiting
In this proposal, the investigators introduce a novel, translational study to prospectively examine primary brain tumor patients undergoing fractionated radiation therapy to the brain. Quantitative neuroimaging, radiation dose information, and directed neurocognitive testing will be acquired through this study to improve understanding of cognitive changes associated with radiation dosage to non-targeted tissue, and will provide the basis for evidence-based cognitive- sparing brain radiotherapy.

Nebulized Ketamine to Nebulized Fentanyl for Treating Acute Painful Conditions in the ED
Recruiting
In situations where intravenous access is not readily available or is unobtainable and the intranasal route is not feasible, another non-invasive route of ketamine administration, such as inhalation via breath-actuated Nebulizer (BAN), is becoming a viable alternative. The BAN allows the controlled, patient-initiated delivery of analgesics in a measured and titratable fashion. (18) Ketamine has been studied as a nebulized drug in a lot of different settings and for a lot of different reasons, su... Read More

Testing Responses of Young Adults to Intervention Messages for Promoting Physical Activity Trial
Recruiting
The goal of this clinical trial is to test a precision (person-specific and context-sensitive) messaging algorithm for increasing physical activity and slowing weight gain in insufficiently-active young adults. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does physical activity increase more when text messages are sent based on a precision rule for selecting and timing messages compared to when the same message content is selected and sent at random or not at all? * Do biological or social chara...

Restoration of Normative Postural Control
Recruiting
The objective of this proposal is to investigate the effects of training to use direct electromyographic (dEMG) control of a powered prosthetic ankle on transtibial amputees'. The aimed questions to answer: 1. whether dEMG control will improve balance and postural stability of amputees, 2. whether dEMG control will lead to more natural neuromuscular control and coordination, 3) whether dEMG control will reduce cognitive processes. Participants will go through PT guided training on using dEMG... Read More

Pragmatic Evaluation of Events And Benefits of Lipid-lowering in Older Adults
Recruiting
PREVENTABLE is a multi-center, randomized, parallel group, placebo-controlled superiority study. Participants will be randomized 1:1 to atorvastatin 40 mg or placebo. This large study conducted in community-dwelling older adults without cardiovascular disease (CVD) or dementia will demonstrate the benefit of statins for reducing the primary composite of death, dementia, and persistent disability and secondary composites including mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and cardiovascular events.

In this proposal, the investigators introduce advanced diffusion and volumetric imaging techniques along with innovative, automated image parcellation methods to identify critical brain regions, incorporate into cognitive-sparing SRS, and analyze biomarkers of radiation response. This work will advance the investigators' understanding of neurocognitive changes after brain SRS and help create interventions that preserve cognitive-function in brain metastases patients.
