Online Versus Lab-Based Psychoacoustics
The purpose of this study is to determine how web-browser based psychoacoustic measures administered at home differ from the same assessments administered in a lab. Cochlear implant patients are traditionally evaluated in the research lab using strictly controlled environments, such as sound proof booths and calibrated speakers. While these conditions allow for high levels of experimental control, they are not always feasible for patients who cannot travel to the lab. Patients will perform the experiments at home using written instructions, at the lab under experimenter supervision, and then again at home. The results of this study may enable us to reach more subjects and increase validity of the assessments.
Optimal Dosing of IC-Green for Visualization of Rotator Cuff Vascularity using Advanced Imaging Modality Arthroscopy: A Prospective Randomized Trial
The purpose of this study is to determine the optimal dosing of an injectable fluorescent pigment, Indocyanine Green (ICG), for use during rotator cuff surgeries. ICG is a substance that binds to proteins in the blood and allows surgery teams to view bloodvessels with greater precision.
OPTIMICE-PCR: DE-ESCALATION OF THERAPY IN EARLY-STAGE TNBC PATIENTS WHO ACHIEVE PCR AFTER NEOADJUVANT CHEMOTHERAPY WITH CHECKPOINT INHIBITOR THERAPY
This study is for patients with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer who received a treatment called pembrolizumab (a medicine used to treat melanoma). Some patients will continue to get pembrolizumab, while others will simply be observed without more treatment. The main question is whether observation is as good as getting more pembrolizumab to prevent the cancer from coming back. The study looks at other things like side effects, quality of life, survival.
Optimization and evaluation of accelerated MRI for prostate imaging
The objective of this study is to develop fast or accelerated Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) methods for prostate imaging. Current prostate imaging, which is performed on 1.5 Tesla -3Tesla (amount of magnetic field strength) scanners is costly and requires lengthy scanning time while a large amount of imaging data is collected. We hope to develop a method to accelerate MRI such that it requires less data, yet can still provide useful diagnostic information. Development of these methods will enable prostate MRI exams to be performed more rapidly in the future, hopefully increasing its accessibility and decreasing cost.
Optimized MRI of patients with hip arthroplasty
In patients with hip replacement, the metal of the artificial hip darkens the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images which is called shadowing. The purpose of this study is to develop a method to decrease the shadowing of the artificial hips on MRI. In this study, the researchers will test whether their new technique can reduce the shadowing of the artificial hips and produce high quality images. Subjects enrolled in this study will undergo both standard and new MRI techniques. The standard MRI is needed for your routine care and as ordered by your referring doctor. The new MRI is performed for research purposes.
Optimized sodium MR imaging in mild traumatic brain injury
Conventional imaging studies (CT scans or MRI) are oftentimes normal, leaving individuals with an injury that is difficult to detect, difficult to predict the outcome of, and difficult to treat. In this research study we will try to find new, noninvasive methods using sodium MRI to detect and quantify changes to the brain after concussion. We hope to identify non-invasive imaging biomarkers that will help in the future detection and treatment of patients with head injury.
Optimizing exercise for the treatment of anxiety
The purpose of this study is to learn more about the efficacy (how well something works) of two different exercise regimens for individuals with anxiety disorders (generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, and/or panic disorder) who also have high anxiety sensitivity, which is fear or distress when experiencing internal physical sensations associated with anxiety (like shortness of breath, sweating, shaking, etc.). If you are eligible for this study, you will complete a 2-monthexercise intervention and 2 follow-up assessments (total duration 5-6 months). The exercise intervention will either include low intensity exercise only or a titration program in which you will start at low intensity exercise and work your way up to high intensity exercise.
Optimizing Recruitment and Retention of Communities Underrepresented in Research: A Pilot Study
This study aims to illustrate the depth and breadth of existing research methods that have been used to increase recruitment and retention of understudied health disparity communities. Results from semi-structured interviews will provide empirical evidence on best research practices pertaining to the recruitment and retention of diverse communities.
