The Relations Among Endotoxin, Inflammatory Cytokines, Cognitive Markers and Brain MRI Changes in Subjects With Depressive Disorder
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a chronic mental illness, with 60% lifetime risk of recurrence after the first MDD episode. Despite available treatment options for MDD, only about half to two-thirds of patients respond to first-line antidepressant treatment, and only 30% to 45% of patients achieve remission. Scholars assume that …

In Stroke Patients, the Relationship Between Social Participation Level, Balance, Walking, Pain, and Kinesiophobia
The aim of this study is to detect the presence of kinesiophobia, which may affect treatment in stroke patients, and to have an idea about its relationship with kinesiophobia by examining factors such as balance, gait, pain and social participation level.
The Predictive Role of Proteomics in Blood Pressure Response of Hypertensive Patients Undergoing Renal Denervation.
Renal sympathetic nervous activity plays a crucial role in the development and maintenance of hypertension (HTN). Renal denervation (RDN) is a minimally invasive catheter-based treatment using mainly radiofrequency or ultrasound energy to selectively disrupt the sympathetic renal nerves. RDN has experienced rises and falls during its development as a treatment …
Predicting Tumor Metastasis by Employing a Target Organ/Primary Lesion Fusion Radiomics Model
A pre-metastatic target organ/primary lesion fusion radiomics model was developed based on the "soil-seed" theory to predict comman tumor metastasis in retrospective settings. To prospectively verify the performance of the target organ/primary lesion fusion radiomics model in predicting tumor metastasis patterns (brain metastasis in lung cancer, liver metastasis in colorectal …
3D-MRE and 2D-MRE for Assessing Cirrhosis and Portal Hypertension
How to construct a novel, non-invasive, accurate, and convenient method to achieve prediction of hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) is an important general problem in the management of portal hypertension in cirrhosis. We plan to compare the ability of three demensional-magnetic resonance elastography (3D-MRE) to two demensional-magnetic resonance elastography (2D-MRE) …

Participants who have chronic pain and use prescribed opioid pain medication will opt-in to using MC or not for the 3-month study. Participants who are certified in Pennsylvania …
Resting State Functional Connectivity in Cluster Headache
Cluster headache is a highly disabling primary headache disorder, characterized by severe, excruciating, recurrent unilateral headache attacks. Typically, attacks' onset displays a circadian rhythm, and bout recurrence happens in a circannual fashion. Notably, the mechanisms underlying the shift between the remission phase and cluster bout are poorly understood. Thus, the …
