-
Helping people recover after stroke by boosting brain cell energy
The team is seeing if a drug that clears harmful fat debris and restores cell energy can limit brain damage and improve movement recovery after stroke.
-
Investigating bacterial infections related to antibiotic use in older adults
This study is looking at how to better understand and treat infections caused by Clostridioides difficile, especially in older adults who have taken antibiotics, by working with both human and animal health experts to find new ways to fight these infections and help patients feel better.
-
Investigating the causes and potential treatments for ALS in veterans
This study is looking into how a specific protein called FUS affects ALS, a serious disease that weakens muscles, especially in veterans who are more likely to get it, with the hope of finding new treatments to help those living with the condition.
-
Training medical students in research at the Southern Arizona VA Health Care System
This program is all about giving medical students, especially those from diverse backgrounds like American Indian and Alaska Native communities, a chance to gain practical research experience during the summer while working closely with mentors to build their skills and connections.
-
How carotid disease affects memory and thinking skills
This study is looking at how problems with the carotid arteries might affect memory and thinking skills, especially for people who are having treatment for severe narrowing of these arteries, which can lead to strokes, and it aims to help doctors choose the best patients for these treatments to lower the risk of dement
