Quantifying Oxygen Utilization of Tumors Using Oxygen-Enhanced Molecular MRI
This trial looks to study the safety and feasibility of using oxygen-enhanced molecular MRI to understand how cancer cells use oxygen differently than normal cells. Cancer cells tend to utilize (or not utilize) oxygen differently than normal cells. By using the oxygen-enhanced molecular MRI, researchers will be able to create …

Understanding Factors That Influence Electronic Cigarette Nicotine Delivery Through PET Imaging of Beta-2 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors
The goal of this proposal is to test the overall hypothesis that e-cigarettes (ECs) provide efficient nicotine delivery to the brain and arterial blood in non-EC-nave smokers and e-cigarette users and that EC liquid characteristics modulate this effect. This study will test the hypothesis through complementary methods that include [ …

bpMRI and Risk Based Shared Clinical Decision Making in Prostate Cancer Diagnosis
Therefore, the primary objective of this trial is to compare if there is a difference between significant cancer detection rate in men undergoing prostate biopsies after MRI scan compared to men undergoing post-MRI prostate biopsies only after a shared decision-making based on prostate cancer risk estimation.

Advanced Geriatric Evaluation and Quality of Life in Colorectal Cancer Surgery
Colorectal cancer (CRC) disproportionately affects patients aged 70 years and older. Surgery is the main treatment modality for CRC, but is associated with increased risk of postoperative morbidity, disability and loss of health related quality of life (HRQL).Frailty is an age related state of functional decline and considered to be …

Skin-to-skin Contact in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) Caregiving Touch and Neural Correlates of Slow Stroking Touch in Preterm Infants
Preterm (PT) infants spend their first weeks of life in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) where receive little affective physical contact, which plays a crucial role in brain development. Evidence indicates that skin-to-skin contact (SSC) has a positive effect on infants' neurophysiological and behavioral adjustment to postnatal life. Moreover, caregiving …
