Can a radical transformation of preventive care reduce mortality by 20% in low SES populations? Preparatory work focusing on AUD/heavy alcohol use HIV risk and cardiovascular risk.
The purpose of this research study is to investigate if a personalized intervention including parts such as navigation (focus on patient outreach efforts, missed and completed encounters), personalization (individual health benefits) and compensation (value health-related costs borne by patients) will help people reduce their chances of dying from preventable causes, including heart attacks, strokes, drinking alcohol, HIV, and other conditions. If you are eligible to participate in the study, we will place you in one of two groups by chance (like flipping a coin). One group (Group A) will receive this intervention and the other group (Group B) will not receive this intervention.

A sham-controlled pilot trial of focused ultrasound modulation of the globus pallidus interna in schizophrenia
The primary objectives of this study are to examine the tolerability of pulsed low-intensity focused ultrasound (PLIFUS) and its effects on brain function measured via fMRI functional connectivity and symptom response in individuals with schizophrenia. A neuronavigated single-element piezoelectric device will be utilized to noninvasively deliver transcranial PLIFUS sonication to the right globus pallidus interna, a brain region implicated in schizophrenia. We aim to enroll N=12 participants with schizophrenia in a random order, sham-controlled crossover trial of a single session of PLIFUS counterbalanced with a single sham sonication session, one week apart. After the participant provides written informed consent, a medical and psychiatric evaluation will be performed to determine eligibility for inclusion in the study, followed by a structural MRI to guide neuro-navigation. The first intervention visit will include a 10 minute PLIFUS sonication or sham sonication, preceded and followed by fMRI and an exit medical examination. Psychiatric symptoms will be assessed immediately prior to sonication/sham, during sonication/sham and 5 minutes, 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 1 day and 7 days after sonication/sham. The second intervention visit will consist of sonication or sham preceded and followed by fMRI in addition to symptom assessments and post-sonication/sham medical evaluation. Participants will be closely monitored during and after procedures for tolerability and adverse effects, including 1 and 7 day follow-up visits. The goal of this pilot study is to establish feasibility and tolerability and to determine whether the sonication procedure produces effects on the imaging biomarker and on symptoms prior to proceeding to therapeutic trials using repeated administration. If PLIFUS effects on fMRI and symptom ratings are not detected in the first 4 completers, subsequent participants will receive 3 sessions over 5 days.
Locus-coeruleus function in normal elderly and AD risk (LEAD)
Growing evidence suggests that Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathological changes begin decades before clinical symptoms and tau abnormalities in the locus coeruleus (LC) can be observed since midlife. We have previously demonstrated functional vulnerability of the LC to aging and stress, as well as an association between higher CSF tau and impaired sleep phenomena influenced by the LC. We now aim to test whether LC dysfunction can be measured in preclinical AD stages by LC targeted imaging, and whether it objectively affects sleep architecture and attention; by asking 30 cognitively normal older adults to perform a full clinical evaluation, one night of polysomnography, a lumbar puncture (LP) to obtain cerebrospinal fluid, [11C]MRB PET-MR, as well as attention testing.
