This is a non-invasive, observational study aiming to collect data on the impact chest tubes have on inpatients during their hospitalizations. Sleep and activity patterns, as well as select vital signs will be tracked using an MUSC-owned Apple Watch, which subjects will wear, and an MUSC-owned iPhone, for up to seven days during admission to the hospital. Each day, a study coordinator will visit subjects to collect a brief sleep survey. Participation may last up to 7 days while subjects are admitted and have a chest tube in place. Upon completion of the study, a study coordinator will collect the Apple Watch and iPhone for data analysis.

This pilot data will provide initial information on the feasibility of collecting and performing a larger study on the inpatient mobility, activity, and sleep.

The purpose of the study is to examine whether certain neck strengthening exercises result in change in size of the neck muscles being targeted.

Musculoskeletal Ultrasound is a non invasive, safe tool that will be used to measure the size of certain muscles in your neck. This will allow us to determine if these muscles actually get bigger in response to targeted exercise. Muscle size is a factor associated with strength.

This study will help us tease out the time it takes to create neck muscle hypertrophy, or increase in muscle size, in order to develop effective protocols for neck strengthening which may be useful in the management of chronic neck pain.

Weakness in certain neck muscles may be associated with the development of neck pain and we hope to determine effective training protocols for these neck muscle groups.

This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. The study is testing an investigational drug called JANX007. Investigational means it has not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The primary purpose of the study is to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary efficacy of JANX007 when administered as a single agent. The drug is given to participants by IV infusion. Participants in this study can expect to be in this study until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Co-occurring post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and alcohol use disorder (AUD) disproportionately affects Veterans and has significant negative impacts on the safety, wellbeing, and quality of life of Veterans, their romantic partners, and their families. However, treatments that address co-occurring PTSD-AUD and restore Veterans' psychosocial functioning are lacking. This project is designed to learn more to facilitate improving treatment approaches aimed at reducing symptoms of co-occurring PTSD-AUD and improving functioning among Veterans and their partners. The goal of this project is to learn from Veterans, family members, and treatment providers in order to inform an adaptation of a brief dyadic AUD intervention to be delivered alongside integrated PTSD-AUD treatment for Veteran couples.

This research study is focused on evaluating the effectiveness of a new imaging technique for a procedure called Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE), which is used to treat an enlarged prostate. The study compares two groups of patients: one group receives PAE with advanced imaging called 3D CTA fusion, and the other group receives PAE using the standard imaging method. The goal is to determine if using 3D CTA fusion can make the procedure faster, reduce the amount of radiation exposure, and decrease the need for contrast dye during the procedure. By studying these two groups, researchers hope to identify ways to make PAE safer and more efficient​

Individuals with chronic cervical spinal cord injury will complete a 10-week training protocol where they receive non-invasive brain stimulation and feedback on the size of the corresponding muscle response (wrist extensor). We will assess the impact of the brain stimulation training on 1) the brain-to-spinal cord-to-muscle connection and 2) motor functions of the arm and hand. Also, brain and spine magnetic resonance imaging will be collected before and after the training. The imaging measurements will tell us about how spinal damage, brain function, and brain structure relate to motor presentation and the response to the training.

The purpose of this research is to evaluate the efficacy of a new investigational Sirolimus coated balloon device in the treatment of insufficient blood flow of legs (peripheral arterial disease, PAD).

This is a multi-center evaluation of efruxifermin (EFX) in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in subjects with NASH/MASH cirrhosis and fibrosis stage 4.

Currently, there are no FDA-approved medications for the treatment of irritability associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This study is designed to look at the efficacy and safety of lumateperone (CAPLYTA) for the treatment of irritability associated with ASD among pediatric participants between the ages of 5 to 17 years.

It is a 6-week study, and the study drug will be compared to a placebo. Following this study, there will be an opportunity to participate in an open-label extension study where all participants will be on the active study medicine.

The study is for patient that are receiving camizestrant as a treatment. The main purpose of study is to change the dosage of camizestrant from 150mg to 75mg. This change was prompted by updated, emerging data from ongoing studies showing
no difference in efficacy between the 75 mg and 150 mg doses. Subject can expect to be in this study for up to 24 months.
