PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate the effect of olfactory training on olfactory function in patients with paranasal sinus and nasopharyngeal carcinoma suffering from olfactory loss after radiation. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate the possible effect of olfactory training on quality of life in

The Study Scans and Tests: IMRT is a type of 3-dimensional (3-D) radiation therapy that can focus radiation beams directly on the tumor itself. In this study, the IMRT is given using a standard radiation machine (ExaCT™ machine) that has a CT scanner attached to it. This machine is commonly used in

Overview of the study phases Prior to the randomization phase, we will draw some blood work (1 teaspoon) with regular blood work to see if you/your child meet the final eligibility requirements. If the results are within normal limits, we will proceed on to the Randomization Phase. If the results

This community-engaged program will demonstrate the feasibility of community-academic partnerships to provide innovations in information sharing and systems implementation targeted to reduce treatment disparities. Patient navigators will be able to utilize the patient database to track their

In this study, the investigators recruited at-risk individuals (n=26) who were overweight (25.0-29.9 kg/m2) and obese (> 30.0 kg/m2) and likely to exhibit one or more conditions associated with MetS. Participants were >18 years of age, not pregnant, not diabetic, with no unresolved infections or

The goal of this study is to determine the effects of CR on blood biomarkers (including serum levels of adipokines, cytokines, cortisol and T reg numbers) compared to standard therapies in MS patients during recovery from a relapse. Sixteen MS patients (body mass index-BMI ≥ 23) having an attack

The concept of Colonic Adaptation(CA) to regular carbohydrates has been linked mainly to lactose disaccharide(galactose,glucose) and lactulose(galactose, fructose), a manufactured derivative of lactose. CA is achieved in both cases by short term regular consumption of the targeted sugar which is not

Objective To determine whether Miralax is as efficacious for bowel cleansing as standard Golytely for screening colonoscopy. This study is designed and powered to be an non-inferiority study. Primary aim: To compare the quality of bowel preparation between Miralax and Golytely Secondary Aims: -

Background Information Radiation therapy is used in a definitive manner or as an adjunct to surgery in most of the head and neck cancer patients which inevitably lead to xerostomia (salivary gland dysfunction) in almost all patients. Xerostomia is debilitating condition which adversely affects the

Abstract: Colorectal cancer is amongst the leading cancers worldwide. Treatment is greatly dependent on the stage of illness, with more favorable outcomes associated with early cancers. For this reason, screening colonoscopies have been increasing, as are efforts to improve the quality of bowel

OBJECTIVES Primary Objective: Feasibility will be defined as 80% of volunteers achieving detectable signal changes in pre/post salivary MR images (in either the IVIM or the DCE scans). BACKGROUND INFORMATION AND RATIONALE It is well known that loss of salivary function in the parotid glands leads to

Background: IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) is a disorder of motility of the entire GI tract that produces cramping, abdominal pain, constipation, and/or diarrhea and sometimes passing of mucus in bowel movements. In most people with IBS, the GI tract is highly sensitive to many stimuli, including
