This open-label study is designed to assess the long-term safety and tolerability of dipraglurant in PD patients for up to 52 weeks (at doses of 150-300 mg per day) for patients that have completed an Addex sponsored double-blind clinical trial of dipraglurant. Read Less

The immediate goal of this study is to collect biological samples (i.e., tissue and/or fluid), clinical information, and laboratory data from disease and non-disease subjects seen at Intermountain Healthcare affiliated facilities. The long-term goal is to annotate tissue and/or fluid biomarker data to clinical information and laboratory data for the purpose of improving health care delivery and prognostic potential. Read Less

The Y Balance Test for the lower quarter (YBT-LQ) is a movement screen used to assess an athlete's risk for injury. The YBT-LQ is a dynamic balance test where the participant stands on a single leg and with the opposite lower extremity reaches are far in the anterior direction as they can, and this value is measured. The process is repeated in the posterior medial, and the posterior lateral directions. The final values are controlled for leg length of the participants. The YBT-LQ has been shown to be predictive of lower extremity injury in high school basketball players, but it is typically used as part of a battery of tests to determine the athlete's overall injury risk, but more questions remain to be answered. The research question: Is the YBT-LQ predictive of concussion in high school athletes? What are the norms for YBT-LQ in high school athletes? Does history of concussion effect YBT-LQ? Is the YBT-LQ with visual perturbations predictive of concussions? Is the YBT-LQ with visual perturbations predictive of lower extremity injury? What is the impact of visual perturbations on Y-balance and its injury prevention capability? The target student participants will be 9th through 12th grade students; however, 6th to 8th grade students will be allowed to participate depending on the school or organization request. Informed consent will be obtained reiterating that participation is voluntary. Testing utilizing the YBT-LQ will occur, and sport of participation, age, height, weight, dorsiflexion, and leg length will be obtained. Follow up will be made via the athletic trainers and school personnel to indicate the effected athletes. Once the post-test follow up is complete athletes will be able to see their pre-test scores, and any questions will be answered at that time. This will be a longitudinal study where testing will take place at least two times per year, preferably three times per year over 4 years. Read Less

CyberKnife Based Radiosurgery is a way to deliver large doses of radiation very accurately to a tumor. The ability of this technology to minimize radiation dose to organs adjacent to the target tumor allows a high dose to be delivered to the tumor, thus potentially increasing the efficacy of radiation treatment. Currently, radiosurgery is commonly used for brain metastases, Stage I lung cancer, spine tumors, and localized prostate cancer. The purpose of this protocol is to evaluate the role of Radiosurgery for the treatment of clinically localized primary renal cell carcinoma. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to learn more about the changes in genes, cells and proteins that cause immune deficiency diseases. The early stages of the study will focus on two groups of patients: members of families in which several persons have symptoms or medical histories that suggest immune deficiency. Patients who have received treatments with medications or drugs that affect functions of the immune system (secondary immune deficiencies). It is hoped that studies will provide guidelines for extension of the research to other patient groups. Up to 200 patients and family members will be invited to participate. Read Less

This study will attempt to determine if there is a statistic difference between the time to union, non-union rate and post-operative pain of patients who receive opioids for pain control vs. patients who receive NSAIDs and a reduced dosage of opioids for pain management Read Less

Black women who reside in a rural area are at highest risk for maternal morbidity and mortality due to a combination of social and structural causes. The postpartum period is the most critical yet most neglected phase for preventing suboptimal or fatal maternal health outcomes. The goal of this project is to use a mobile app to provide personalized support and improve the lives of women during the early postpartum period. The information the study team gathers will help educate women and all who support them about the need to seek postpartum care and the impact postpartum care can have on pregnancy-related complications. Participation in this research requires taking part in a focus group discussion which will allow participants to share or the person that supports the participant's story and experience with postpartum complications and willingness to use and desired features of a postpartum mobile app. Read Less

Patients with degenerative joint disease can effectively be treated with a primary total knee replacement to reduce pain and improve function in their daily lives. Theoretically, achievement of normal knee motion using a medial pivot design in total knee replacements can be recreated in comparison to single radius designs, which could lead to an improvement in post-surgical outcomes and satisfaction with the procedure. The aim of this study is to compare two types of implant designs (medial pivot and single radius) in a total knee replacement using clinical outcomes, patient reported outcomes, and overall function assessed by a specialized gait laboratory.

RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood and tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer. It may also help the study of cancer in the future. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is analyzing the DNA in blood and tissue samples from patients with lung cancer. Read Less

Investigators use a genome-wide approach within a case-control design to identify SNPs that show evidence of association with lung cancer risk and survival. Read Less

The Use of the VisuMaxTM Femtosecond Laser Small-Incision Lenticule Extraction (SMILE) Procedure for the Correction of Myopia with or without Astigmatism study is a prospective, non-randomized, multicenter clinical study that will be conducted by the Navy Refractive Surgery Center, Naval Medical Center San Diego, CA in collaboration with the U.S. Air Force 59th Medical Wing, Wilford Hall Eye Center, TX, and the U.S. Army Warfighter Refractive Eye Surgery Program and Research Center, Fort Belvoir Community Hospital, VA.

In order to continue progressing towards outpatient total hip arthroplasty (THA), methods to adequately manage postoperative pain is of paramount importance. The purpose of this study is to quantify the effectiveness of the pericapsular nerve block in total hip arthroplasty in comparison to the fascia iliaca nerve block. Read Less
