This study will be the first of its kind to explore the impact of continuous theta burst stimulation (cTBS) to the intraparietal sulcus (IPS) on arousal symptoms among patients with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). We will demonstrate that IPS cTBS results in significant target engagement in the form of reduction …
The purpose of this research study is twofold: to study the role HIV has on the brain’s function and more particularly, the relationship between HIV and stroke; and to study how the presence of HIV effects robot-assisted rehabilitation after stroke, and its association with clinical improvement.
We are looking for healthy males, age 40-59 years old, non-smoking un-medicated who work the "shift-work" schedule (>3 shifts per month outside 7 am-6 pm for the past 10 or more years & own a smartphone which installs the remote sensing applications. or "day workers" who work 7 am-6 pm …
This is a pivotal phase 3 study designed to support an indication for the reduction of cardiovascular risk in patients with established CVD and elevated Lp(a)
What is the purpose of this study? This research study is exploring about how digital data (ie. social media, online searches, and step tracking data) are associated with Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) and related risk factors in order to develop a more precise CHD risk predictor tool. We …
The purpose of the study is to identify the optimal blood pressure range and blood pressure medication regimen for persons supported by a HM3 LVAD, specifically to reduce the risk of stroke and death.
A novel device, developed at the University of Pennsylvania, utilizes diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS), which allows for real-time, continuous bedside monitoring of CBF using near infrared light. This non-invasive device holds great promise for monitoring cerebral hemodynamics in stroke patients. Prior work from our group has used this device to …
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if closing off the left atrial appendage (LAA) of your heart (a small-sack like structure that is part of the upper chamber of the heart) during scheduled heart surgery with a surgical device known as the AtriClip, reduces the risk of a …
Stroke can occur when a clot stops the flow of the blood in one of the arteries supplying the brain. This type of stroke, called ischemic stroke, can be treated alone or in a combination of drugs to dissolve the clot, devices to remove the clot (mechanical thrombectomy) or use …
