The proposed research aims to investigate the use of speech amplification devices as a potential treatment option for people with Parkinson's disease and related disorders who exhibit hypophonia, a voice disorder that affects over half of those with Parkinson's disease. By characterizing the acoustic and perceptual effects of speech amplification and identifying ways to optimize outcomes through talker- and device-specific enhancements, this project seeks to develop personalized, evidence-based treatment options for hypophonia. The current proposal will move this effort forward by systematically eliciting and modifying speech amplification device output that leverage both behavioral and technological approaches.

The following experiment will be conducted with 15 chronic stroke survivors and 15 control subjects. Subjects will perform hand movements in the virtual reality environment using a head-mounted display. Quest's onboard cameras allow real-time tracking of hand motion, estimating joint angles of the finger and the thumb. For each feedback manipulation condition (i.e., movement amplification or reduction), the estimated joint angles will be multiplied by a factor greater than 1 (amplification) or a factor smaller than 1 (reduction). Then the newly-estimated hand posture will be displayed in the VR environment. Subjects will be randomly assigned into two groups (A and B), who will receive the assistance in a different order. Subjects will perform finger extension under three conditions: no sensory modulation, movement visual feedback (VF) amplification, and movement VF reduction (error augmentation), while their movement muscle activation patterns are recorded.

This is a device study (while the device has been patented and cleared by the FDA, the indication of the use for Erectile Dysfunction has been yet approve). EXSTACY is a study to collect information on which patients who have trouble getting or keeping an erection rigid enough for sex (sometimes known as Erectile Dysfunction or ED) benefit from light intensity shockwave therapy (LI-SWT). LI-SWT is a form of energy transfer to the penis that has been shown to help some men with ED in studies over the past decade. This study will collect information about patients prior to treatment to determine what predicts a good outcome. The investigators hope that this information will help decide which patients are likely to benefit from LI-SWT and which patients should consider other treatments for ED.

The NATURAL Study is a prospective, observational, pragmatic study of RNA biomarkers of infections to aid in the diagnosis of abdominal pain. Summary of Research Study: Hypothesis: A genomic-derived panel of 6 RNA biomarkers present in stabilized whole blood will provide diagnostic information about the presence of bacterial, biofilm, and viral infections in the abdomen. We hypothesize that biomarkers will be more than 90% sensitive with a high (>90%) negative predictive value for IAI. Research Design: The project design is a prospective, pragmatic, observational study. The NATURAL Study will be sponsored by True Bearing Diagnostics, Inc., and performed at 5 or more academic medical centers. Patients with suspected intra-abdominal infections (IAIs), such as appendicitis, diverticulitis, acute cholecystitis, pancreatitis, peritonitis, pyelonephritis, and abscess are candidates for this study. This is a broad category of patients that are defined by the suspicion of an internal abdominal infection, usually involving some type of advanced imaging analysis, such as CT scan or ultrasound. All participants will be consented for this observational, minimal-risk study prior to venipuncture. Ultimately, The NATURAL Study will determine the positive agreement (~sensitivity) and negative agreement (~specificity) of the TruNAV RNA biomarkers in relation to the clinical diagnosis of the presence or absence of an IAI, based on CT scans and/or surgical confirmation, the current standard of care for diagnosis of IAI. Objective: To validate a novel RNA fingerprint in ED patients with suspected IAIs. The NATURAL Study is designed to determine the accuracy of novel RNA biomarkers for diagnosis of IAI in patients suspected of having IAI. Subgroup analysis will analyse RNA biomarker for multiple types of actual and suspected IAIs (appendicitis, diverticulitis, acute cholecystitis, pancreatitis, peritonitis, pyelonephritis, and abscess.) Subjects: Approximately 1,000 ED patients presenting with abdominal pain that are candidates to receive CT or other confirmatory diagnostics will be enrolled.

Central vision loss from macular degeneration creates blind spots that impair reading, face recognition, and navigation. Individuals must learn to use peripheral vision, requiring retraining of eye movements. Our preliminary research using high-speed eye tracking demonstrated that people with larger scotomas have impaired eye movement control, and that single-session visual feedback training showed limited immediate benefit, though combining feedback types showed promise. This study will evaluate whether extended binocular training (5 weekly sessions) with multimodal feedback improves eye movement control in 8-15 participants with bilateral central vision loss. Unlike conventional monocular rehabilitation systems, our approach trains both eyes simultaneously using real-time visual and auditory feedback during saccadic and smooth pursuit tasks. Participants will receive gaze-contingent scotoma awareness feedback, preferred retinal locus feedback, and auditory cues while performing eye tracking exercises. Primary outcomes include saccadic accuracy (latency, landing error, amplitude) and smooth pursuit parameters (gain, tracking accuracy). Secondary outcomes include contrast sensitivity and self-reported visual function. Success could establish an evidence base for accessible home-based training using virtual reality technology, potentially benefiting millions with macular degeneration.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether a new regenerative treatment called AdiaVita, made from umbilical cord blood-derived stem cells and exosomes combined with glutathione, is safe and can help improve kidney function in adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD). In this condition, the kidneys gradually lose their ability to filter blood as well as they should. The main questions it aims to answer are whether AdiaVita plus glutathione improves kidney function better than control treatments, as measured by blood tests for estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and creatinine levels, and whether the treatment is safe with acceptable side effects. Researchers will compare three groups. One group will receive AdiaVita plus glutathione. A second group will receive glutathione plus a placebo for AdiaVita. The third group will receive placebos for both treatments. A placebo looks like the real treatment but contains no active ingredients. This will help determine if the full treatment works better than the controls. Approximately 100 adults aged 18 to 80 with stage 2 to 4 chronic kidney disease may participate. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the three treatment groups. They will receive monthly intravenous infusions at the clinic for the first three months and apply a skin spray twice daily at home during that period. The study lasts 12 months total for each participant, with regular visits for blood tests, physical exams, and safety monitoring. Certain participants in the control groups may switch to the active AdiaVita treatment after three months if they meet safety criteria. This is a single-blind study, meaning participants will not know which treatment they receive. Participant safety is closely monitored by the research team and an independent board throughout the study.

The purpose of this clinical trial is to compare two standard of care non-surgical treatments for hemorrhoidal bleeding: hemorrhoidal artery embolization (HAE) versus rubber band ligation (RBL). Directly comparing these two methods may help to clarify which treatment is better for controlling hemorrhoidal bleeding, reducing symptoms, and improving patients' quality of life. HAE is a standard minimally invasive procedure to put tiny particles or coils into the blood vessel that feeds a hemorrhoid to block the blood flow (embolization). This involves using a catheter inserted into an artery, using twilight (conscious) sedation. RBL is a standard procedure that involves using small rubber bands around the base of the hemorrhoids to cut off blood flow, causing it to shrink or shrivel.
