Effect of A2AR Agonists on Osteogenic Potential of Stem Cells
The purpose of this study is to conduct research on the stem cells of specimens that would otherwise be discarded during a plastic surgery operating procedure. We are recruiting subjects (aged 0 - 90 years old) undergoing standard of care reconstructive and/or cosmetic surgery by the NYU Department of Plastic Surgery in which skin, fat, cartilage or bone will be removed and discarded as part of the procedure. Stem cells be collected from the discarded tissue in a laboratory and exposed to a solution called dipyridamole in order to monitor any osteogenic effects. Osteogenic refers to any tissue concerned in bone growth or repair. No genetic research will be done with the specimens.
EFFECTS OF CONTRALATERAL STRENGTH TRAINING ON POSTOPERATIVE STRENGTH DEFICITS IN THE IMMOBILIZED LOWER EXTREMITY
The purpose of this study is to determine if immediate postoperative strength training in the non-surgical arm or leg reduces postoperative loss of strength in the operative arm or leg, which will be immobilized following surgery. This will be assessed with a combination of surveys that ask about your knee or arm function and strength testing on a Biodex isokinetic machine, which is a specialized machine that provides computer-controlled resistance and measures the force that the subject applies to the apparatus. This research study will compare the subjects who perform the typical physical therapy rehabilitation protocol plus the non-surgical arm/leg strength training to the subjects who perform only the typical physical therapy protocol (the standard of care).
Effects of MRI Acceleration: Comparison with the Current NYU Standard
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate faster magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The study will test whether accelerated MRI examinations with reduced scan times of 5 to 7 minutes can be used without affecting the quality of the images.
Effects of sleep among infants and toddlers on their neurodevelopmental outcomes
This study will examine the effects of infant and toddler sleep patterns among preterm and full-term infants on their neurodevelopmental outcomes following discharge from the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). The purpose of this study is to assess infant and toddler sleep by way of parental completion of a validated questionnaire namely Brief Infant Sleep Questionnaire (BISQ) and identifying any potential correlating changes in the neurodevelopment using Bayley IV neurodevelopment assessment during their scheduled follow-up visit at neonatal follow-up clinic until 30 months of corrected age.
Effects of Successful OSA TreatmENT on Memory and AD BIomarkers in Older AduLts (ESSENTIAL)
The purpose of this research study is to look at the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). This is because it is shown that older adults with OSA are at increased risk for dementia and AD. This study proposes a novel and flexible approach to treating OSA in cognitively normal older adults and will test whether those successfully treated for OSA have slower decline in cognitive function, and improved AD biomarkers (measured in blood) compared to those who are untreated. The multi-modal therapy for OSA is the use of positive airway pressure, oral appliance therapy, or positional therapy, either one or a combination of the 3. We will compare 3-month changes in plasma AD biomarkers, in those randomized to OSA treatment and wait-list control groups, as well as compare change over 3 months in cognitive function between those randomized to OSA treatment and wait-list control groups, and will compare change profiles for cognition and plasma AD biomarkers in all treated (n~150) and untreated (n~100) subjects for up to 24 months of follow-up.
