Randomized, single blinded crossover trial testing optimal interventions to adequately suppress myocardial glucose suppression. We will enroll up to 50 subjects in order to reach our target of 40 fully evaluable; 20 healthy volunteers and 20 patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus. We will test whether dietary modification (ketogenic diet) …
We plan to enroll up to 16 adult subjects in this study. We will enroll up to 8 patients with a diagnosis of probable idiopathic Parkinsons Disease (PD cohort) and up to 8 age and gender matched Healthy Controls (HC cohort). PET/CT imaging will be used to evaluate neuroinflammation in …
There has only been a modest increase in the number of lung transplants each year, increasing from a yearly average of 2,400 between 2009 and 2011, to 2,800 in 2016. Despite this, more than 300 patients died or became too sick to transplant on the lung transplant waiting list in …
The purpose of this study is to learn more about how the SmartSleep technology affects cognitive performance of healthy adults undergoing conditions of chronic sleep restriction and emergency awakenings from sleep—two common conditions in spaceflight that pose challenges to astronauts’ performance. The study also aims to find the best SmartSleep …
The Healthy Patterns Study intervention is a home-based activity intervention designed to introduce activities and education that promote healthy sleeping habits and improve well-being for those suffering with memory and sleep issues . Principal Investigator: Nancy A. Hodsgon, PhD, RN, FAAN, Nursing School, University of Pennsylvania
Elevations in plasma levels of branched chain amino acids (BCAAs, comprising leucine, valine, and isoleucine), a large component of protein, are strongly associated with insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, but mechanisms for this relationship are unclear. This protocol will determine whether excess BCAAs worsen free fatty acid-induced insulin resistance. …
Study Purpose: The goal of this study is to learn more about how opiate use and HIV affects inflammation in the brain. We will study this using a type of Positron Emission Tomography (PET/CT) scan using a radioactive imaging drug called 18F-NOS that can be used to measure inflammation in …
Emerging infectious diseases are infections that have recently appeared within a population or those whose incidence or geographic range is rapidly increasing or threatens to increase in the near future. The main purpose of this screening protocol is facilitating the study of new emerging infections by collecting: 1. Some basic …
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 …
