Pelvic Floor Magnetic Stimulation in Women With Idiopathic Overactive Bladder

In clinical practice, Bladder Traininhg (BT) and Magnetic stimulation (MS) are frequently used together in the treatment of women with idiopathic overactive bladder (OAB). Up to our knowledge, there is no study evaluating the combined effect of magnetic stimulation and bladder training in women with idiopathic OAB in the literature. …

Effects of Brain Stimulation on Cognition Oscillations and GABA Levels in Schizophrenia

The purpose of this study is to use a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), to test a set of hypotheses about the role of the prefrontal cortex in behavioral and neural correlates of cognition in schizophrenia. Behavioral, electrophysiological (EEG) and neuroimaging measures will be used to …

Using Direct Brain Stimulation to Study Cognitive Electrophysiology

This project forms a multi-site research collaboration to carry out verbal and spatial memory experiments in patient volunteers to better understand the neural bases of human memory, employing direct electrical brain stimulation as a tool to study those dynamics and their relationship to memory performance.

Part II: Granulocyte-Colony Stimulating Factor Adjunct Therapy for Biliary Atresia

The Investigators propose to test the hypothesis that GCSF enhances the clinical outcome of biliary atresia in a multi-institutional Phase 2 trial to prospectively evaluate the safety and efficacy of GCSF in each of the 2 groups of newly diagnosed BA patients: KBA (i.e., Kasai-operated) or NoK (i.e., patients who …

Combined Optokinetic Stimulation and Cueing-based Reading Therapy to Treat Hemispatial Neglect Following Stroke

Spatial neglect represents a common and severe cognitive disorder following unilateral (mostly right hemisphere) stroke. Patients are unaware of objects, persons and even own body parts in the (usually left) hemispace opposite to their brain lesion. While there is spontaneous remission in some patients, neglect symptoms persist in many stroke …

Novel MRI-Guided Ultrasound Stimulated Microbubble Radiation Treatment for Patients With Chest-wall and Locally-Advanced Breast Cancer

The objective of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility of novel MRI-guided ultrasound stimulated microbubble treatment to enhance radiation effects in humans receiving external beam radiotherapy delivered using a LINAC (linear accelerator) radiation therapy device.
