To assess endothelial dysfunction in young men (aged 30-50) with vasculogenic ED identified through penile Doppler ultrasound. To evaluate changes in endothelial function using EndoPAT before and 3-6 months after daily low-dose phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor therapy. To investigate endothelial function alterations in hypogonadal patients before and 3-6 months after initiating testosterone (T) therapy
Plasma specimen collected from patients presenting in the Emergency Department (ED) with or without Heart Failure (HF) and prescribed a BNP.
Approximately 20-30% of patients presenting with acute heart failure are discharged from the ED. Compared to patients discharged from the hospital, they more frequently return to the ED and hospital for further management. While inpatient discharges are often enrolled in transitions programs and have their care tailored to evidence-based recommendations, ED discharges do not. The investigators propose to evaluate current standard ED discharge to an ED-based intervention which will transition patients to outpatient follow-up on guideline-recommended therapy.
Prospective, open-label, non-randomized, study to be conducted at a single center. Ten subjects will undergo an injection of Placental Matrix-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (PMD-MSCs) into the penis for the treatment of mild to moderate erectile dysfunction. Follow up visits will be conducted at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months. Subjects will be evaluated for re-injection beginning at 3 months. Eligibility is determined by the clinician based on patient reported treatment satisfaction.
This study is being conducted to compare the safety and efficacy of 2 doses of avanafil to placebo in diabetic men with mild to severe erectile dysfunction.
This study is being conducted to compare the safety and efficacy of 3 doses of avanafil to placebo in men with mild to severe erectile dysfunction.
The primary objective of this Phase IIa trial is to determine the effective doses and treatment period for an upcoming RX-10100 Phase IIb trial in subjects with erectile dysfunction (ED). The secondary objectives of this trial are to evaluate the safety and the quality of life in subjects with ED receiving RX-10100 treatment.
Each year in the United States, about 700 people die from pregnancy-related causes. More than half of these deaths occur after delivery, during what is often called the "fourth trimester." Many of these deaths-up to 80%-are believed to be preventable. In the first week postpartum, the most common causes of death are heavy bleeding, high blood pressure, and infection. After the first week, heart problems such as cardiomyopathy are the leading causes of death. In addition to the risk of life-threatening complications, health issues like diabetes and high blood pressure during pregnancy can increase a person's risk of developing long-term conditions such as heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Despite the importance of postpartum care, up to 40% of individuals do not attend their postpartum check-up. Attendance is especially low among people who are younger, publicly insured, or from underserved communities. Among individuals with diabetes in pregnancy, postpartum care is critical to monitor blood sugar levels, assess for type 2 diabetes, manage complications, and ensure long-term follow-up with a primary care provider. However, many do not attend this visit or receive recommended screenings. Common reasons include feeling fine, time constraints, and a lack of understanding about the purpose of the visit. The study was conducted as a pilot randomized controlled trial at a tertiary care center among pregnant individuals with type 1, type 2, or gestational diabetes. Participants were randomly assigned to receive either usual care or to watch a 3-minute animated video during a prenatal visit. After enrolling, all participants completed a baseline survey using a secure platform (REDCap) assessing their knowledge about the postpartum period and care expectations. The video was available in English and Spanish and covered key information about what to expect after delivery, warning signs for complications, and why postpartum care is important. Immediately after viewing the video, participants in the intervention group repeated the knowledge-based questions to assess changes in their understanding. Investigators reviewed the electronic medical records to assess postpartum visit scheduling and attendance. This study is designed to determine whether a brief, accessible educational video can improve postpartum care engagement among individuals with diabetes in pregnancy. If effective, this type of video intervention could be implemented more widely to improve maternal health outcomes, particularly in high-risk populations.
The aim of this study is to assess the strengths and weaknesses of training models that are accessible, reproducible, and geared toward new learners. Specifically, the investigators aim to compare the four following models: Japanese shirataki konjac noodle, "Dragon skin" silicone vessel, standard silicone vessel, and the "blue-blood" chicken thigh model. This information will be valuable in assessing the utility of implementing a Japanese shirataki konjac noodle model in beginner microsurgical courses for both local and global education and outreach.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if an educational tool helps postpartum patients after having high blood pressure during their pregnancy. The main question it aims to answer is: Does receiving our educational tool improve patient activation in the postpartum period? Researchers will compare a group of postpartum patients who get the tool 0-2 weeks after delivery with patients who do not get the tool to see if there is a difference in their activation scores 4-12 weeks later. Participants will: Complete a survey when we first speak with them Complete a similar follow-up survey 4-12 weeks later
This pilot clinical trial looks at whether patient navigation services, an interactive web education intervention, called Current Together After Cancer (CTAC), or both navigation and CTAC works to improve the uptake of surveillance in patients with stage I-III colorectal cancer (CRC). Post-treatment surveillance is critical to detect recurrence early, yet many CRC survivors do not receive recommended surveillance care. Surveillance is a complex process that includes laboratory tests, cross-sectional imaging, and endoscopic procedures. Patient navigation services, interactive web education, or a combination of both may improve surveillance care for patients with stage I-III colorectal cancer.
The purpose of the study is to learn about safety and how the body processes the study medicine called Zavegepant (PF-07930207) in children with a history of migraine. This study helps understand how the medicine is changed and removed from the body after taking it. This study is seeking participants who: * Are children aged between 6 and less than 12 years old * Have had migraine for at least 6 months. * Weigh more than 15 kilograms All participants in this study will receive zavegepant as a nasal spray once (one spray into one nostril). The dose of the study medicine that each participant receives will depend on how much the participant weighs. The study will look at the experiences of the participants receiving the study medicine and collect data to better understand the possible benefits and unwanted effects of different doses of the study medicine. Participants will take part in this study for up to 10 weeks. During this time, they will have 3 study visits at the study clinic, and 2 follow-up phone calls.
Children with developmental language disorder (DLD; also referred to as specific language impairment) experience a significant deficit in language ability that is longstanding and harmful to the children's academic, social, and eventual economic wellbeing. Word learning is one of the principal weaknesses in these children. This project focuses on the word learning abilities of four- and five-year-old children with DLD. The goal of the project is to determine whether special benefits accrue when these children must frequently recall newly introduced words during the course of learning. In the current study, the investigators compare a "standard" repeated spaced retrieval schedule, with fixed spacing between hearing a word and attempting to retrieve it, to an "adaptive" repeated spaced retrieval schedule in which opportunities to retrieve a given word are tailored to the individual child's current knowledge state. The goal of the study is to determine whether the adaptive schedule can increase children's absolute levels of learning while maintaining the advantages of repeated spaced retrieval.
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is determine if education on common events in labor in nulliparous women can reduce the postpartum traumatic symptoms. The main question it aims to answer are: * Does prenatal education on labor events reduce post-traumatic symptoms, as measured by thePost Traumatic Stress Disorder Cecklist for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Health Disorders (PCL-5) at 6 weeks postpartum? * Does prenatal education on labor affect labor outcomes? Participants will be given surveys: * At enrollment on mental health and previous traumatic experiences * After education on expectations on childbirth * After delivery on experience of childbirth * At 6 weeks and 6 months postpartum on traumatic symptoms and mental health outcomes. They will also have the option to participate in collection of discarded cerebrospinal fluid, blood and serum and physiologic sensitivity testing.
This study evaluates the effectiveness of rimegepant 75 mg orally disintegrating tablet (ODT) single-dose or zavegepant 10 mg nasal spray single-dose as acute migraine treatments during Emergency Department (ED) encounters. Although these two calcitonin gene-related peptide receptors (CGRP) receptor antagonists are FDA-approved for the indication of acute migraine treatment, past studies have been limited to the outpatient setting. If these medications are effective in the Emergency Department, their delivery methods alone may have advantages over intravenous medications commonly used for acute migraine in EDs, including quicker time to treatment delivery, faster pain relief, and reduced ED length of stay. This investigation is a pilot study to examine rimegepant and zavegepant in an ED, to gain insight on effectiveness in this setting. This study will administer rimegepant 75 mg ODT single-dose or zavegepant 10 mg nasal spray single-dose as acute migraine treatments to 100 patients in the Emergency Department. It is a single center, open-label, non-controlled 2-group clinical trial (allocated 1:1 to rimegepant or zavegepant via pseudo-random assignment). The study will enroll adults in the ED meeting ICHD-3 criteria for migraine or probable migraine, with or without aura.
The purpose of this study is to compare the impact of yoga, pain education, and yoga nidra with pain acceptance intention to yoga, pain education, and relaxing music on pain intensity, well-being, and sleep quality. This is a pilot study trial of individuals with chronic low back pain. Participants will attend two sessions in the laboratory (week 1 and week 8) and complete their assigned intervention 2 x per week for 6 weeks at home. Participants will be randomized to either receive yoga postures targeting the low back, pain education, and yoga nidra with pain acceptance intention and motor imagery or yoga postures targeting the low back, pain education, and relaxing music.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to learn about the safety and effects of the study medicine (called PF-07275315) for the potential treatment of moderate-to-severe asthma. Asthma is a condition that makes it challenging to breathe, which negatively impacts the quality of life and functioning of people who are affected. This study is seeking participants who: * Are 18 to 70 years old * Have had moderate-to-severe asthma for at least 12 months that is not well controlled * Have been taking their regular maintenance treatment(s) for asthma over the last 12 months All participants will receive PF-07275315 or a placebo. A placebo does not have any medicine in it but looks just like the medicine being studied. PF-07275315 or placebo will be given as multiple shots in the clinic over the course of 12 weeks. We will compare the experiences of people receiving PF-07275315 to those of the people who do not. This will help us determine if PF-07275315 is safe and effective. Participants will be involved in this study for about 9.5 months. During this time, they will have 10 visits at the study clinic.
This will be a randomized interventional study. Patients scheduled to undergo a HoLEP at UCSF will be randomized into two groups after the procedure: one group will watch a scripted educational HoLEP video and the other group will not receive a video. We will monitor the post-operative care utilization after discharge. Secondary outcomes will include patient satisfaction.
The goal of this observational study is to better understand the learning curve among novice glaucoma surgeons performing Hydrus microstent insertion. The main question it aims to answer is what is the average number of cases does it take new glaucoma surgical fellows to become competent in Hydrus insertion. Researchers will review and grade videos of surgical cases. Participating fellows will complete a survey reporting the number of cases they had completed before beginning their glaucoma surgical fellowship and how many Hydrus cases they performed during their fellowship before they felt comfortable performing Hydrus cases without an attending surgeon overseeing their work.
This study is open to adults 18 and older with an eye condition called diabetic macular edema. People are required to have a specific type of diabetic macular edema called centre-involved diabetic macular edema (CI-DME) to take part. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called BI 1815368 improves sight in people with CI-DME and to find the most suitable dose. This study has 2 parts. In the first part, participants are put into 2 groups of equal size randomly, which means by chance. One group takes BI 1815368 tablets and the other group takes placebo tablets. Placebo tablets look like BI 1815368 tablets but do not contain any medicine. In the second part, participants are put into 4 groups of equal size randomly. 3 groups take different daily doses of the study medicine, BI 1815368, while 1 group takes placebo. All participants take tablets twice a day for about 11 months. Participants are in the study for about 1 year. During this time, they visit the study site 16 times. At visits, doctors check the participant's vision and collect information on any health problems. They take detailed pictures of the eye. The changes over time are compared between the groups to see if the treatment works.
In this study, researchers will learn more about the use of felzartamab in participants with primary membranous nephropathy, also known as PMN. In people with PMN, autoantibodies build up in the glomeruli of the kidney. Antibodies are proteins that help the body fight off infection. An autoantibody is a type of antibody that mistakenly targets and attacks the body's own tissues. Glomeruli are the filters of the kidney that remove waste and extra fluid from the body. In PMN, the build-up of autoantibodies in the glomeruli causes damage to the kidneys. Kidney damage can lead to too much protein and blood leaking into the urine. High levels of protein in the urine, called proteinuria, are common in people with PMN. Symptoms of PMN can include swelling in the legs and body, tiredness, and high blood pressure. If left untreated, PMN can eventually lead to kidney failure. In this study, researchers will learn more about how a study drug called felzartamab affects people with PMN. Felzartamab is a monoclonal antibody, which means it is an antibody made in a laboratory. Felzartamab can target immune cells that produce autoantibodies, helping to lower their buildup in the kidneys. The main goal of this study is to compare how felzartamab works compared to a drug called tacrolimus. Tacrolimus is another drug given to people with PMN and kidney disease. The main question that researchers want to answer is: * How many participants achieve a complete response after 104 weeks of treatment? * A complete response means that their urine protein levels decrease to a low level and their kidney function remains stable. Researchers will also learn about: * How long it takes before the participants' disease gets worse * How long the participants' urine protein levels stay low * How many participants develop antibodies against felzartamab in the blood? * How many participants achieve a complete response after 76 weeks of treatment * How many participants have medical problems during the study * How felzartamab is processed by the body * How felzartamab affects participants' tiredness and overall physical health The study will be done as follows: * Participants will be screened to check if they can join the study. This may take up to 42 days. * Participants will be randomized to receive either felzartamab as intravenous (IV) infusions or tacrolimus, taken orally as tablets. * If participants have worsening kidney function or worsening proteinuria, or if their PMN relapses, or if they show no signs of improvement in their PMN, they will have a chance to receive rescue treatment. * If a participant stops treatment early, there will be follow-up visits every 12 weeks until they reach Week 104. * In total, participants will have up to 23 study visits. Participants who do not need rescue treatment will stay in the study for up to 104 weeks. Participants who need rescue treatment will stay in the study for up to 156 weeks.
Background: X-linked Hyper IgM (HIGM) syndrome is caused by a mutation in the CD40L gene. People with this disease have white blood cells that do not work properly. These people are at risk of severe infections and autoimmune diseases. Stem cell transplant can cure this disease. However, transplanting stem cells donated by other people can have serious complications. Another approach is gene therapy; this treatment repairs the mutation in a person's own stem cells by base editing. Researchers want to know if these base-edited stem cells can help people with CD40L-HIGM syndrome. Objective: To test base-edited stem cell transplant in 1 person with CD40L-HIGM syndrome. Eligibility: A male with CD40L-HIGM syndrome. Design: Participant will be screened. Tests will include medically indicated imaging scans, blood tests, and a sample of tissue and fluid (biopsy) may be taken from the bone marrow. Participant may undergo apheresis to collect stem cells. The collected stem cells will undergo base editing to repair the mutation. For treatment, participant will be admitted to the hospital for 5 weeks or more. For 2 weeks he will receive drugs to prepare his body for receiving the stem cells. After receiving the edited stem cells, he will remain in the hospital until his cell counts recover. Participant will have follow-up visits every few months in the first 2 years after treatment. The bone marrow biopsy will be repeated after 2 years. Long-term visits will continue annually for 15 years.
PAUSE 2 study is a prospective, open-label, blinded-endpoint non-inferiority RCT of PAUSE vs. ASRA management in DOAC treated high risk patients with AF/VTE who need elective high bleed risk surgery/procedure and/or any procedure involving neuraxial anesthesia. The purpose of the PAUSE 2 study is to show that PAUSE management will be as safe (i.e., non-inferior) as ASRA management, with 95% of patients having low/undetectable pre-operative DOAC levels \<30 ng/mL in each group., at the time of surgery/neuraxial.
In this study, researchers will learn more about the effects and safety of BIIB141, also known as omaveloxolone or SKYCLARYS®. This drug has been approved, or made available for doctors to prescribe, for people with Friedreich's Ataxia (FA) who are at least 16 years old. But, it is not yet available for children and teens with FA who are younger than 16 years old. The main objective of this study is to learn how BIIB141 works in the body and about its safety in children and teens who are 2 to 15 years old. The main questions researchers want to answer in this study are: * How does BIIB141 affect the participants' FA symptoms balance and stability? * How many participants have medical problems during the study? * Are there any changes in the participants' overall health during the study? * Are there any changes in the participants' heart health? * Are there any changes in how the participants move through puberty? Puberty is the time in someone's life when their body changes from a child to an adult. Researchers will also learn more about: - How the body processes BIIB141 in children and teens This study will be done as follows: * Participants will be screened to check if they can join the study. The screening period will be up to 28 days, after which participants will check into their study research center. * There are 2 parts in this study. During Part 1, participants will take either BIIB141 or a placebo once a day. * In Part 1, participants will take BIIB141 or the placebo in a study research center on Day 1, and then at in-person visits at Week 4, Week 12, Week 26, and Week 52. On all other days, they will take BIIB141 or the placebo at home. Part 1 lasts up to 52 weeks. * During Part 2, participants from Part 1 will either continue taking BIIB141 or start it if they were taking the placebo. Part 2 will last up to 104 weeks. * In Part 1, participants will have up to 10 visits to their study research center and a phone call at Week 2. In Part 2, participants will have visits at Weeks 4, 8,12, 26, and every 26 weeks after that until they leave the study, and a phone call at Week 2. There will be a final phone call to check on the participants' health 31 days after their last dose. * Each participant will be in the study for up to about 3 years
TIVDAK is used for the treatment of cervical cancer that has come back after chemotherapy. Chemotherapy is a treatment that uses medicines to stop the growth of cancer cells. This is done either by killing the cells or by stopping them from growing. The purpose of this study is to learn about possible side effects of TIVDAK, specially to any side effect that is related to the eye. A side effect is anything a medicine does to your body that is not part of how the medicine treats disease. * This study is seeking for participants who: Are willing to take all the required eye tests * Have not received TIVDAK before * Do not have any active eye issues. Participants will receive TIVDAK once every 3 weeks as an infusion that will be injected into the vein. Participants will visit an eye care provider at 3 stages: * before starting the treatment, * before each of the first 9 infusions * then monthly for 3 months after they stop taking TIVDAK. Treatment with TIVDAK will continue until it is not working anymore against the participant's cancer.
The goal of this study is to gather feedback on a potential program that collects and shares real-world information to help create products and services to support people who have substance use disorders.
A multicenter study will be conducted to assess the role of the AI/ML technologies of Origin Medical EXAM ASSISTANT (OMEA) in interpreting first-trimester fetal ultrasound examinations (11 weeks 0 days - 13 weeks 6 days). The performance of the AI-based system will be compared against the ground truth provided by an independent reading panel of maternal-fetal medicine physicians.
The long-term study goal is to experimentally evaluate the components (and likely active ingredients) of early language interventions for young children with Down syndrome (DS). The overall objective is to determine how single-word and telegraphic simplification affects real-time language processing and word learning in young children with DS (relative to full, grammatical utterances). The proposed project will investigate three specific aims: 1) Determine how single-word and telegraphic simplification affects language processing. 2) Determine how single-word and telegraphic simplification affects word learning. 3) Evaluate child characteristics that may moderate the effects of linguistic simplification on language processing and word learning. Aim 1 will test the hypothesis that children with DS will process grammatical utterances faster and more accurately than telegraphic or single-word utterances. Aim 2 will test the hypothesis that overall, children will demonstrate better word learning in the grammatical compared to the single-word and telegraphic conditions. Aim 3 will test the hypothesis that receptive language and nonverbal cognitive abilities will be significant moderators, such that children with stronger linguistic and cognitive skills will show the greatest benefit from grammatical input but children with lower linguistic and cognitive scores will perform similarly across conditions.
Quantitative Xylazine Measurement Among Non-Fatal Opioid Overdose (OD) Patients in the Emergency Department (ED)
This is an observational study to learn more about vasomotor symptoms (VSM) burden and treatment patterns in menopausal women before and after participating in OASIS studies. In this study, data from women with VMS associated with menopause who took part in any of the three OASIS studies and were treated with elizanetant or a placebo, are collected and studied. In observational studies, only observations are made without participants receiving any advice or any changes to healthcare. VMS associated with menopause is a condition in which women who have been through the menopause have hot flashes caused by hormonal changes. Menopause is the stage when a woman stops having menstrual cycles or periods. No investigational products will be administered in this study. The participants in this study already received the standard of care (SOC) treatment for VMS before and after their participation in the study, as part of their regular care from their doctors. The SOC is the treatment that medical experts consider most appropriate currently. OASIS is a set of clinical studies. In this study data will be collected from participants who took part in OASIS 1, 2 or 3 . These three studies assessed the safety and effects of elizanetant compared to a placebo for VMS associated with the menopause. Based on the results of these three studies, Bayer filed a New Drug Application for elizanetant. To better understand the impact of elizanetant on VMS, more knowledge is needed about treatment patterns that were followed for VMS before and after the OASIS studies. The main purpose of this study is to gather real-world data on participants' prescription trends, whether they continued or stopped taking treatments, and healthcare resource utilization, before and after their participation. This study will include participants from OASIS 1,2 or 3 from the United States of America, who have agreed to be contacted to share information regarding their treatment. This study will have 2 parts: Part A - researchers will invite participants to complete an online survey about the treatments given in the year before starting the OASIS study. Part B - researchers will use tokens (an anonymized number to ensure participants' privacy) to learn about the treatments given to them 6 months after the completion of the OASIS study through their anonymized medical records. Researchers will collect the following information: Part A: * the prescription and over-the-counter medicines used by the participants for VMS in the year before the OASIS start * whether they continued or stopped taking them, and * the reason for doing so Part B: * the prescription medicines used by the participants for VMS in 6 months after the OASIS ended * whether they continued or stopped taking them For Part A the data will be collected from the participant survey between March 2025 and June 2025, and for Part B the data will be collected using participants' medical records between April 2025 to May 2025. In this study, only available data from routine care are collected. No visits or tests are required as part of this study.
