This phase I trial evaluates the feasibility of using hyperpolarized carbon C 13 pyruvate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in diagnosing patients with primary central nervous system lymphoma. This trial aims to see whether MRI using hyperpolarized carbon-13 pyruvate is safe and useful for detecting central nervous system lymphoma and evaluating response to treatment. Read Less

P5 is planned as a prospective observational study, collecting evidence-based perioperative data on patient history and demographics, physical function, cognitive measures, psychological, and biological markers associated with increased pain susceptibility, and psychophysical measures of pain processing. The study will use daily ecologic momentary assessment (EMA) of physical and emotional parameters, and collect data on perioperative events. Follow up will occur 3 months and 6 months postoperatively. Read Less

This study seeks to enhance long-term positive airway pressure (PAP) adherence among Spanish-speaking Hispanics, a group with known PAP outcomes disparities. This study will assess the feasibility of a linguistically and culturally adapted tele-management intervention (Automated Management, AM) for Spanish-speaking Hispanic adults with OSA. Read Less

The goal of this controlled-feeding cross-over diet intervention is to compare a beef diet to a vegetarian diet on muscle fatigue in older adults. The aims are: AIM 1: To test the hypothesis that muscle fatigue is attenuated in older adults consuming beef compared to older adults consuming a plant-based diet. AIM2: To test the hypothesis that daily beef consumption improves biochemical indicators related to muscle fatigue. Participants will be randomized to consume either a beef-based diet or vegetarian diet under controlled-feeding conditions for 8 weeks. After a 2-week washout period, participants will cross-over to consume either the beef diet or vegetarian diet for 8 weeks. Body composition and functional muscle outcomes will be measured during each 8-week feeding period. Blood samples will also be collected. Read Less

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the side effects and effectiveness of this novel four-drug combination of chemotherapy (decitabine, selinexor, carboplatin and paclitaxel) on patients with relapsed ovarian, fallopian or primary peritoneal carcinoma. Recently the investigators have found that the combination of decitabine and selinexor, two Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved chemotherapy agents, may prevent or reverse the development of drug resistance and further the remissions and duration of remissions with standard ovarian cancer chemotherapy with carboplatin and paclitaxel. As decitabine and selinexor are not FDA approved for the participant's cancer, these agents are investigational. Read Less

The aim of this study is to better understand how tenapanor affects the metagenomics and metabolomics of patients with irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C). Tenapanor is the newest FDA-approved agent for IBS-C. It is a small molecule that inhibits the NHE3 receptor, leading to impaired sodium and water absorption in the intestine. Previous clinical trials comparing tenapanor to placebo showed that a 50 mg dose of tenapanor led to increased bowel movements and decreased abdominal pain. This study consists of an 8-week treatment period in which subjects will ingest one capsule of tenapanor (50 mg per dose), twice daily, and send in stool samples following 4 weeks and 8 weeks of treatment.

This study will evaluate the effectiveness of skin cooling in increasing tolerability of four treatments in Neurofibromatosis Type 1 Cutaneous Neurofibromas. These treatments are: a 980nm laser, a 755nm laser, radio-frequency injection, and a Kybella injection. Each patient will have a treatment and a control site.. Read Less

This is a prospective randomized controlled trial in children 3-9 years of age undergoing myringotomies at Washington University in St. Louis to assess the impact of perioperative personalized music on the incidence of emergence agitation. Read Less

The primary objective is to evaluate the laboratory safety of Ashwagandha standardized root extract 500 mg capsules in healthy adults over 12-week therapy based on Complete Blood Count, Renal Function Test, Liver Function Test, Lipid Profile and Thyroid Function Test, Fasting blood sugar and HbA1c Test. The secondary objectives are to evaluate the clinical safety of Ashwagandha standardized root extract 500 mg capsules in healthy adults over 12-week therapy and to evaluate the effect of the Ashwagandha standardized root extract 500 mg on Quality of Life (QoL) using the SF-36 tool.
