We are doing this study to learn more about how certain vaccines can affect people's polyethylene glycol (PEG) sensitivity levels. PEG is a component of several different vaccines. We want to compare blood samples from healthy volunteers to blood samples from HIV Vaccine Trials Network (HVTN) 133 participants. We hope this will help us better understand the variation of PEG sensitivity in the general population and between vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals.
We are doing this study to find out if we can identify biomarkers that indicate the presence of ovarian cancer or indicate that it is likely to develop. Biomarkers are substances that can be released from cancer cells into the blood and can provide information on the following things: changes to someone's genes or DNA, how cancer cells will respond to cancer treatment, and whether cells are becoming resistant (no longer responding) to cancer treatment.
We are doing this study to find out if taking the study drug (Atorvastatin) can help older adults live longer and healthier by preventing dementia, disability, or heart disease. *The study drug is a statin, which is usually used to help lower cholesterol levels.
We are doing this study to get a better understanding of how exercise affects the motion and mechanics of the shoulder joint in people who have shoulder instability and are planning to have shoulder surgery. We hope the information we gain from this study can improve treatment methods for injuries like shoulder dislocations or rotator cuff tears.
We are doing this study to compare 2 different procedures for treating cervical cancer and find out which approach has the best outcomes for patients. The two procedures that we will compare are open surgery with a single large incision (laparotomy) and robotic assisted laparoscopy (small incision surgery). We do not know which option is preferable in most cases, and we hope this study can help us find out which procedure is the better choice for patients.
We are doing this study to understand how sex hormones (chemicals that tell cells and body parts to do certain things), such as estrogens and androgens, impact skin diseases like hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). To better understand this, we are enrolling both people who have diagnosed skin diseases and healthy volunteers who have no skin issues.
We are doing this study to collect data and samples to store them for future research. We hope the data and samples will lead to improved treatment of patients who are seriously ill or have been injured.
We are doing this study to learn more about the connection between the brain and leg muscles in people who have chronic stroke. We want to understand how this connection affects the walking abilities of chronic stroke patients so we can provide better help to stroke patients who need to improve their motor function.
