"Multi-disciplinary collaboration of scientists and scholars from universities across the United States and Canada designed to bring the science of early childhood and early brain development to bear on public policy decision-making. The mission of the Council is to synthesize and communicate science to help inform policies that promote successful learning, adaptive behavior, and sound physical and mental health for all young children
Study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (blood levels), pharmacodynamics (how the drug acts on the body), and the safety of rabeprazole sodium for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in new borns and pre-term infants (less than 44 weeks of age).
Citicoline Brain Injury Treatment (COBRIT) trial of the effects of 90 days of citicoline on functional outcome in patients with complicated mild, moderate and severe traumatic brain injury. Citicoline (also known as CDP-Choline) is a naturally occurring endogenous compound. Citicoline may have neuroprotective effects and may potentiate neuro-recovery which has led to the evaluation of it as treatment for both stroke and TBI in animal models and in human clinical trials.
This study is being conducted to gather medium and long-term information regarding the performance and safety of the commercially available DURALOC® Option Ceramic-on-Ceramic Hip Prosthesis System.
There are two rod sizes routinely used for the correction of juvenile and adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, 5.5mm and 6.35mm, typically stainless steel. Currently there is no scientific evidence supporting the superiority of one size rod relative to the other. This study will evaluate the amount of radiographic correction obtained using the 5.5mm versus the 6.35mm spinal instrumentation rods.
Study is to find out the outcomes of using the PASS LP System to correct adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. This system is a unique set of spinal instrumentation used to surgically correct the rotation and deformity of the spine that is caused by scoliosis. Also, this study wants to find out the effects this system has on the physical appearance and quality of life for patients with scoliosis.
MedWatch - FDA Safety Information and Adverse Event Report Program - MedWatch alerts provide timely new safety information on human drugs, medical devices, vaccines and other biologics, dietary supplements, and cosmetics. The alerts contain actionable information that may impact both treatment and diagnostic choices for healthcare professional and patient.
The investigators in this study sponsored by the University of Michigan are working on a tool to help people who are severely paralyzed. This tool is called a brain-computer interface (BCI). BCIs can connect to computers or other electronic devices, such as a power wheelchair. In
this study, patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) will be able to control the tilt feature of their power wheelchair using only brainwaves, allowing for independent control.
The investigators have planned to perform a trial to study the effect of antioxidant supplementation on pain relief in patients with chronic pancreatitis.
Pancreatitis is caused by an acute injury on the pancreas. We have recently reported a high rate of acute pancreatitis developing in children who undergo posterior spinal fusion for scoliosis (to correct spinal curve). We showed that the amount of blood loss during the surgery is related to the incidence of pancreatitis
