The primary aim of the proposed study is to test several hypotheses about residual effects of heavy drinking. Hypotheses about how heavy drinking affects next-day performance include direct physiological effects of alcohol (e.g., electrolyte imbalance, low blood sugar, sleep disturbance), alcohol
The treatment of symptomatic asthma currently focuses on the use of medications - inhaled or systemic - that have the principal goals of relieving airway pathology, namely airway narrowing, inflammation, mucus metaplasia and hyper-reactivity. There are no therapies directed at the chest wall or its
Cutaneous microvascular blood flow is regulated by multiple mechanisms, including that by insulin and by the sympathetic nervous system (SNS). Insulin is the principal hormone responsible for the disposal and storage of glucose in skeletal muscle, in part by the re-direction of blood flow through

Healthy volunteers will be recruited, and all interested individuals will be invited to contact study staff to hear more about the study requirements and undergo a brief phone screen to determine eligibility. After their initial phone screen with study staff, interested
The Brain Sentinel® GTC Seizure Detection and Information System is an ambulatory system designed to continuously monitor and perform real-time analysis of surface electromyography (sEMG) data to detect GTC seizures and to provide an alarm to alert caregivers within 30 seconds of bilateral,
Extrapolating pharmacological and surgical therapies from adult (AD) studies to infant (INF) patients is problematic because the knowledge of cellular electrophysiology and molecular biology of human INF heart cells is limited. The investigators have studied developmental differences in rabbit
Nodding Syndrome (NS) is described as an epileptic seizure disorder and has been documented in various geographic areas of sub-Saharan Africa. Jilek et al, 1962, first described several children with attacks of 'nodding head' in Mahenge, a region in southern Tanzania (1,2,3). A missionary doctor
Participants were recruited in three groups: weight loss maintainers (WLM: maintaining ≥13.6 kg weight loss for ≥1 year), normal weight controls (NC: Body Mass Index (BMI) matched to current BMI of WLM), and controls with overweight/obesity (Overweight Controls (OC): BMI matched to pre-weight loss
To add to the existing NAFLD Database an additional 1,500 adult participants with a diagnosis of NAFLD, supported by a recent liver biopsy, with a broad range of severity. Core data collection will include clinical, demographic, laboratory, imaging, and histological features

In the first period (part I), 100 women with SUI will be recruited in this study and randomized to intervention or control group after stratified by the moving direction of PFM during contraction of TrA. All subjects will be evaluated pre- and post- 4-month intervention. The measurements included
Topiramate is an anti-convulsant which has been approved for use as adjunctive treatment for partial-onset seizures, Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, or primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures. Topiramate is currently under investigation for other disorders including binge-eating disorder.

1. There is no difference in efficacy and severe persistent hypertension after intravenous Labetalol versus Hydralazine.
2. There is no difference in adverse maternal and fetal effects.

Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health problems in the United States, occurring in about 18% of adults per year, and a lifetime prevalence of approximately 28% (25). Importantly, anxiety disorders are associated with increased risk for sudden cardiac death and non-fatal myocardial
Health statistics include data on health disparities, global impact of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and risk factors including smoking, physical activity, body weight, cholesterol, blood sugar and blood pressure (BP) (1). Based on this, it is estimated that 33% of US adults had high blood pressure
