7 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The investigators hypothesize that performance of fast-Fourier transformation on the raw Doppler signals obtained from ascending aortic blood flow will recreate the pulse wave Doppler trace visualized on modern echocardiography machines, and that this will allow for the measurement and recording of vascular flow waveforms
The purpose of this study is to validate that the device posts a Sensor-Off message within the time frame stated in the proposed claims.
Specific Objectives: * To determine if individuals who carry a decreased or non-functional variant of OCT1 exhibit differences in the pharmacokinetics of metformin in comparison to individuals who carry the common allele. * To determine if individuals who carry the decreased or non-functional variants exhibit differences in the response to metformin in comparison to individuals who carry the common allele.
The purpose of this study is to meet the respiration rate accuracy specifications for the study pulse oximeter monitoring system (study device)in a healthy volunteer population when compared to established technologies for measuring parameters related to respiration, such as Capnograph Respiration Rate (RR) (CO2).
The purpose of this study is to study Non-Invasive Performance evaluation of monitoring algorithm.
The purpose of this study was to generate sufficient safety and tolerability information in support of an increase in the infusion rate of intravenous GLASSIA in the prescribing information from 0.04 to 0.2 mL/kg/min.
Objective: To study the relative balance of GABA (A) binding potential and glutamate utilization in subjects with localization-related epilepsy with and without depression, subjects with major depressive disorder alone, and in subjects with generalized epilepsy (expected not to have significant comorbid depression). Pilot data shows that GABA(A) binding potential and glutamate utilization are tightly coupled in healthy subjects particularly in the mesial temporal lobe. We hypothesize that subjects with epilepsy will not exhibit the same degree of coupling, and that subjects with both epilepsy and depression will exhibit an even more pronounced decoupling. Study Population: Subjects aged 18-55 with localization-related epilepsy with and without depression, subjects with generalized epilepsy, subjects with major depressive disorder (MDD) alone, and healthy controls. Design: This is a neuroimaging study, using positron emission tomography (PET) with \[11C\]flumazenil, to measure GABA(A) binding potential, and \[18F\]fluorodeoxyglucose, to measure glucose utilization (reflective of neuronal glutamate release) Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), will be used to measure GABA and glutamate in the mesial temporal cortex, and corroborate the PET results. Structural magnetic resonance images (MRI) will be obtained for MRS localization and partial volume correction of PET images. Outcome measures: The binding potential of GABA(A), the regional rate of glucose metabolism, and the levels of GABA and glutamate as measured by MRS. Patients will be stratified by seizure type and depression ratings. ...
