Gut Feeling: Can What You Eat Affect Your Colon Cancer Risk? The food environment, microbial cysteine metabolism, and cancer disparities
P
Patricia Wolf
DID YOU KNOW?... Colorectal cancer(CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States. CRC is a serious health problem in the U.S., and African American/Black individuals are affected more than others. What is this study about?This study will look at a nutrient called cysteine. We think that factors like a person’s diet and stress levels can affect how cysteine breaks down in the gut. We want to see how this can impact a person’s risk of CRC. To find out, we will study the foods people eat and their stress levels.Who can take part?Adults aged 45-75 who are considered to be at high risk of developing colorectal cancer (have a history of polyps), identify as Black/African-American or non-Hispanic White and have no food allergies, dietary restrictions, or therapeutic diets.
Caregivers Study: Taking Care of Your Health While Caring For Someone You Love

Navin Kaushal
Caring for Someone Else? Caring for Others Starts With Caring for Yourself. Caring for someone with Alzheimer’s disease or related dementia is important work—but it can also be stressful and exhausting. Many caregivers, especially African Americans, put their own health last. As a caregiver, you deserve care, too. Our study is about supporting caregivers by helping them build a simple, at-home exercise routine right from home to improve their health and well-being.Exercise can help reduce stress, improve mood, and increase energy. This study offers free exercise equipment and virtual support to help caregivers get started and stay active.

Join us and learn more about your child's bone and muscle health while helping advance research for children and teens!We’re inviting families with children and adolescents (ages 5-17 years old) to take part in a research study that is helping researchers find new ways to keep bones and muscles healthy and to discover better treatments for bone and muscle disorders.By joining, your family can help scientists learn how growth, injury, and illness affect strength and movement — every visit helps researchers build a stronger, healthier future for kids everywhere.
Stronger Hearts, Healthier Lives: Join Our Study

Why is this study being done?Cardiokidney Metabolic Syndrome or CKM is a new syndrome recognized by the American Heart Association and occurs when an individual has a combination of conditions which includes being overweight, in addition to having metabolic risk factors (hypertriglyceridemia [≥135 mg/dL], hypertension, metabolic syndrome, diabetes), or chronic kidney disease. Researchers at Indiana University are conducting a study to learn more about how to promote exercise among individuals with CKM. CKM may have the potential to be reversed by participating in regular exercise. Findings from this study will help us understand physical activity levels among individuals with CKM, with the goal of designing an effective exercise program for those individuals. Who can take part?Adults (ages 18 and older) who are at risk of developing Cardiokidney Metabolic Syndrome (CKM).
Effect of CYP2B6 genotype and efavirenz on the disposition and pharmacodynamic of methadone and tizanidine in healthy volunteers

What is this study about?The purpose of this study is to see how efavirenz, a widely used medication to treat HIV infection, interacts with methadone (a medication used to treat addiction problems and pain) and tizanidine (a medication used to relax muscle) when taken at the same time. The information learned in this study will help to inform doctors as to how to appropriately adjust doses of efavirenz, methadone and tizanidine to improve health outcomes and long-term treatment success for HIV patients. Who can participate?Healthy adults who are able to refrain from taking certain medications during the study period.
