2 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The main purpose of this study is to determine if the Go Girls! program to take place at the Kluge Children's Rehabilitation Center Therapeutic Recreation Gymnasium, intended to introduce girls to a fun, non-threatening environment of exercise with peer support, improves scores on a physical activity enjoyment scale (PACES). Information regarding enjoyment of physical activity before and after the program will allow objective evaluation of whether the program is achieving its mission. Qualitative responses to the questionnaires will give program leaders a better sense of potential attitudes and barriers to regular exercise for teen girls. These responses will be used to shape activities during this or future programs for teens. Anthropometric (e.g. body weight, blood pressure, waist circumference) and biochemical (bloodwork) data will allow us to determine whether any change in metabolic risk factors can be seen from this 6-month once weekly intervention.
Switching patients with HIV infection from tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) to a tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) based drug regimen can provide many safety benefits including preserving bone mineral density and kidney function. This study will examine metabolic changes that patients may encounter due to the switch in medication regimens and the maintenance of viral suppression.
