1. A Study to Evaluate Women's Birth Experience and Postpartum Mental Health Outcomes

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to implement a facilitated peer support group for women that have experienced an unexpected birth process in the last 12 months. 

2. Patterns of Co-use of Nicotine and Cannabis Electronic Cigarettes, and Its Association with Perceived Social Support in Young Adults

   Eau Claire, Wis.

   The purposes of this study are to determine the relationship between the use of e-cigarette and perceived social support in young adults, to characterize the pattern of co-use of nicotine and cannabis e-cigarette in young adults, and to identify if co-use of nicotine and cannabis e-cigarettes is a risk factor for use of combustible forms of tobacco and cannabis.

    

3. A Study to Evaluate Caregiver Connections via Technology for Patients with Alzheimer's and Other Types of Dementia

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to optimize profile questionnaire and matching algorithm developed in Phase I and implement in final website design, and to determine if algorithmically matched participants have statistically significant increase in match satisfaction and self-reported sense of resiliency and quality of life over randomly matched caregivers.

4. Submandibular Gland Needle Core Biopsy and Skin Punch Biopsy as Tissue Biomarkers for the Diagnosis and Monitoring of Disease Progression of Parkinson’s Disease and REM Sleep Behavior Disorder

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   Determine 1) the magnitude of SMG and skin a-syn density change over time, 2) the

   improvement in adequate tissue acquisition doing bilateral SMG biopsies, 3) any laterality differences between

   SMG gland a-syn density, 4) correlate a-syn density and changes in density between SMG and skin biopsies

   Specific Aim 1. Determine, with bilateral submandibular gland (SMG) biopsies in 30 clinically

   diagnosed subjects with Parkinson’s disease (PD) and 20 clinically probable REM sleep behavior

   disorder (RBD) subjects whether bilateral biopsies improve the rate of acquisition of adequate

   glandular tissue, whether alpha-synuclein (a-syn) SMG pathology correlates with clinical severity

   and/or disease duration, and whether there is a left-right difference in the density of a-syn pathology.

   Specific Aim 2. Determine, with a second SMG biopsy in previously biopsied PD and RBD subjects,

   whether a-syn pathology density increases, decreases, or remains the same after a 1.5-2 year time

   interval and whether there is a correlation between a-syn SMG pathology and clinical and/or disease

   progression.

   Specific Aim 3. Determine whether a-syn pathology density in skin punch biopsies correlates

   with clinical measures and increases, decreases, or remains the same after a 1.5-2 year time

   interval, and whether the density and changes over time correlate with those found in SMG

   biopsies.

5. A Study of Factors That Predispose, Promote, and Perpetuate Post-Traumatic Dizziness

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to investigate whether recent, groundbreaking discoveries about key pathophysiologic processes that drive chronic dizziness in patients without traumatic brain injury (TBI9,10) are applicable to patients with post-mTBI vestibular disability. We expect the results of this project to have practical clinical and research applications, providing novel data for two future steps:

6. NSITE: Novel Strategies to Increase Telehealth Engagement

   Eau Claire, Wis., Rochester, Minn.

   The primary objective of Aim 1 of this study are to identify personal and social determinant of health-related key factors that present as a barriers to use of non-emergent telehealth care during the COVID-19 pandemic. Aim 1 will use a qualitative study design to understand the experiences of patients along with social determinants of health (SDOH). The results of the qualitative work will be used by the research team to design the survey for administration in Aim 2.

   The primary objectgive of Aim 2 of this study is to assess personal and social determinants of health that are associated with patient’s decision to prefer face-to-face visits compared with telehealth appointments for non-emergent care. 

7. ALSENLITE: Senolytics for Alzheimer's Disease

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to measure target engagement in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and blood, and to establish the feasibility and safety of Dasatinib plus Quercetin treatment in adults with early stage but symptomatic Alzheimer's Disease (AD) to inform and select the best blood, CSF, urine, and other analyses to conduct in banked samples from a larger Phase 2b clinical trial.

8. Arizona Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center (ADRC-001)

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   There is evidence that neurodegenerative changes precede clinical symptoms in Alzheimer’s disease by two decades (Villemagne et al, 2013). Early detection is critical for development of interventions to halt, slow, or even reverse these pathological processes. The promise of plasma biomarkers to identify early pathology is growing rapidly (Palmqvist et al, 2020), however it is likely that multiple converging biomarkers will be necessary to identify the earliest pathological changes, as subtle differences from healthy controls may fall within the margin of error for any given single biomarker measure. Here we propose that the evaluation of speech and language for both baseline (cross-sectional) and longitudinal changes (within-participant) may add significant value to early pre-clinical pathological changes in MCI and AD. This is bolstered by emerging evidence of the relationship between language characteristics and amyloid burden (Verfaillie et al, 2019) and the large literature that characterizes language-use differences and deficits across the spectrum of cognitive decline (e.g., Mueller et al, 2018). We propose to add a series of in-clinic language elicitation tasks that allow for automated assessment of relevant speech and language domains and to validate these measures cross-sectionally and longitudinally relevant to neuropsychological, blood, and PET biomarkers.

9. A Study to Evaluate Smartphone-based Digital Phenotyping for Relapse Prediction in Alcohol-associated Liver Disease

   Rochester, Minn.

   The primary aim of this study is to define a comprehensive digital phenotype that predicts risk for near-future relapse or relapse in alcohol use in patients with alcohol-associated liver disease.

   The secondary aim of this study is to assess the relationship between this digital phenotype and markers of disease severity outcome, including MELD score and readmission rates.

10. A Study to Evaluate a Primary Care-Based Intervention for Adolescent Restrictive Eating Disorders

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility, acceptability, usability, and preliminary outcomes of a treatment protocol (FBT-PC) for PCP management of adolescent restrictive eating disorders.
