Clinical trials: Astrogliosis
Gliosis, Child Obesity
Building Research for Intervention Development in Gliosis and Eating Habits
The goal of this study is to 1) use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to evaluate the effect of nutritious foods on inflammation in the human hypothalamus of children and 2) assess the feasibility and acceptability of nutritious…

Obesity, Gliosis, Weight-Loss
A Cohort Study of Weight Loss and Gliosis
Patients and clinicians need better options to prevent the weight regain that almost universally follows a weight loss intervention. In lay terms, a new, higher "set point" seems to occur after people gain weight.

[18F]BF3-BPA Injection for PET Imaging Study of Gliomas in the Brain
In this clinical study, we proposed to perform [18F]BF3-BPA PET imaging in subjects with gliomas, to observe the binding ability and non-specific binding of the tracer to glioma lesions in vivo, and at the same time to evaluate…

Glaucoma
Photographic Imaging of the Retina and Optic Nerve Head of Glaucoma Patients and Normal Controls
Retinal structures are difficult to visualize because the retina is optically transparent. In glaucoma, the microglia in the retina becomes activated in eyes with glaucomatous damage.

Morbid Obesity
Effects of Morbid Obesity and Bariatric Surgery on Brain Inflammation, and Activation of Central Reward System
Background: The investigators have found that obesity and insulin resistance result in significantly increased brain insulin-stimulated glucose uptake, whereas in every other tissue glucose uptake is lower in the obese compared…
