To demonstrate ExAblate procedure is safe and works.There is evidence in medical literature showing that by ablating a particular cluster of cells in the brain, dyskinesia (abnormal movements)&motor symptoms of PD may improve. ExAblate can be used to perform ablation more precisely in minimally invasive fashion. In this study we …
We propose to use gas Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) using the inhaled contrast agent, hyperpolarized (HP) xenon-129, to study the lungs of 20 volunteers who have received or will receive endobronchial valve (EBV) therapy as a treatment for COPD. Since its recent FDA approval, investigators have yet to explicitly assess …
Mortality related to cardiovascular disease in the US is improving. Yet the rate of decline is less for women than for men. Women's health is unique due to the varying reproductive stages, and differences are further heightened by sex-specific molecular and cellular characteristics of the heart and vasculature. These biophysiological …
Women treated for primary breast cancer who undergo breast conservation therapy face an increased risk of developing a second breast cancer in the ipsilateral and the contralateral breast. Although mammographic screening is recommended annually, the sensitivity of mammography is limited in these patients due to the post treatment changes from …
This study aims to investigate 30 patients with a diagnosis of Glioblastoma to develop a decision support system by incorporating advanced MR imaging, liquid biopsy, and MGMT promoter status to determine with higher accuracy whether tumor changes are true progression or pseudo progression. Analysis of these results will hopefully have …
This is a study of the MitraClip, percutaneous mitral valve repair system in patients with moderate to severe to severe functional mitral regurgitation who need surgical repair but are deemed not appropriate for surgery. Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 fashion to treatment with the Mitra Clip system or …
The purpose of the proposed study is to explore the nature of the codes that are present in the primary motor cortex. All complex actions involves the contraction of multiple muscles, the timing and intensity of which is precisely modulated. The traditional view of this process is that an abstract …
OCPs increase the risk of MetS specifically by producing an atherogenic lipoprotein phenotype, increasing blood pressure and/ or body weight while metformin modestly decreases MetS risk by decreasing body weight and improving lipid phenotype. The combination of OCP and metformin (OCP, through lowering androgens, and metformin, through improvement in insulin …
This research study will test the performance of new magnetic resonance imaging techniques at 7.0 Tesla. These new methods have already been tested in model systems and need to be tried on human subjects prior to their applications in determining important substances in the whole brain. . This study is …
