Measuring the impact of integrated GI behavioral health care in the form of individual and support group psychotherapy in a single IBD center
This study will track health related quality of life (HRQOL), psychiatric symptoms and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) activity over time in patients with IBD undergoing individual and supportive group psychotherapy at the NYU Langone Health Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center (IBDC).
Mechanisms and Enhancement of Learning During Sleep
Memory dysfunction represents one of the most common cognitive complaints in patients with epilepsy and significantly impairs quality of life. Our work aims to (1) better characterize memory function in the context of everyday life, and (2) remediate memory impairment, through rigorous exploration of the mechanisms of memory and its dysfunction. In this study, we are seeking to enroll patients with temporal lobe epilepsy and control participants to complete various questionnaires and memory tasks during a 2-hour session.
Mechanisms of Paired Vagus Nerve Stimulation in Chronic Stroke: A Randomized Blinded Sham-Controlled Single-Center Mechanistic Trial
This study is investigating how an experimental treatment, paired vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), may improve motor function after a stroke. Enrolled participants be asked to have a VNS device surgically placed on their vagus nerve in their neck. They will then take part in two 6-week blocks of rehabilitation therapy: Block 1: Participants will receive active VNS with rehabilitation therapy Block 2: Participants will receive placebo VNS with rehabilitation therapy Note: Participants will not know which block they will receive first. The study will then assess how the brain responds though tests such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), MRI scans, and clinical tests to measure movement, thinking, and emotional health. Participants will be expected to complete 42 visits over 4 months (36 visits are for rehabilitation therapy and 6 visits are for assessments). There is no cost for participating in the study.
Mechanisms of Peripheral Vascular Disease
The proposed study will enable the use of human tissue samples and outcome data by basic and clinical investigators for research into the biology, causes, prevention and therapy of patients with documented peripheral arterial vascular disease secondary to atherosclerosis. The collection of paired information will provide important clinically relevant findings that will add to the growing understanding of the natural history of plaque formation in the arteries of the periphery and will enable to decipher the molecular mechanisms in this pathology. We will prospectively collect both tissue to study the mechanism of the natural history of PAD. We will also collect relevant clinical and medical information on these subjects and continue to collect follow-up information on the surgical patients using their medical records in order to follow their outcome.
Mechanisms of rAcial dIfferences in the relatioNship between Obstructive Sleep Apnea and in vivo Tau deposition in the context of AmYloid burden
African-Americans (blacks) have two times the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease (AD) compared to non-Hispanic whites.1-6 Neuropathological studies show blacks with more mixed pathology1-6. Recent evidence demonstrate differences in AD biomarkers with blacks having decreased cortical thickness, and lower cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) P-tau, and T-tau.7-10. Notably, area-based socio-economic status (SES) partly explain racial differences in cortical thickness.11 This suggests the possible existence of additional physiologic differences on AD-risk by race, mediated by SES and resulting to greater neuronal loss, similar or less CSF-tau for similar levels of amyloid. Recent studies suggest that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) increases AD-risk,12-14 is associated with higher brain amyloid and tau in cognitive normal (CN) participants.15-22. Notably, blacks have a higher burden of symptomatic OSA, particularly with excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS),23 which is associated with longitudinal amyloid-PET uptake.24. Potential intermediate mechanisms linking OSA and AD, such as decreased non rapid eye movement (NREM) slow wave activity (SWA) and increased inflammation affect amyloid and tau pathology,25,26 are associated with changes in cognition in late-life,27 and are more burdensome in blacks.28 OSA effects changes in circulating levels of CRP, TNFa, IL-6, and IL-17A.29,30 . More importantly, inflammation arising from cumulative stress exposure placed blacks at a greater risk for developing vascular risk factors,31-33 that increase AD-risk. In addition, SES and psychosocial factors11,34-36 may contribute to increase OSA and AD-risk in blacks. This highlights the need to utilize OSA as a unique disease model to explore racial differences in AD biomarkers.
Mechanisms of Vascular Aneurysms
Our mission is to enable the use of human tissues with outcome data by basic and clinical investigators for research into the biology, causes, prevention and therapy of patients with documented arterial pathology (e.g. aortic dissection, lower extremity aneurysm, aortic aneurysm). Paired clinical information about disease history and research into vascular events will enable clinically relevant findings. We will prospectively collect both tissue samples and blood samples to study the mechanisms of the natural history of aneurysms and potential circulating biomarkers. We will be collaborating with Dr. Gelb in order to obtain tissue and blood from healthy controls during the organ procurement. We will also collect relevant clinical and medical information on these subjects and continue to collect follow-up information on the surgical patients using their medical records in order to follow their outcome. The tissue and blood will be stored indefinitely.
