This study will use multiple levels of analysis to determine mechanisms by which amylin, a pancreatic-and-brain-derived peptide, acts in the mesolimbic reward system of the brain to reduce body weight and decrease food intake.
This study aims to determine the efficacy of face cooling to maintain blood pressure during simulated hemorrhage induced by lower body negative pressure.
Caffeine is the most widely used psychoactive substance in the world and its use is increasing among children. Although considered safe, the majority of empirical data on the effects of caffeine have been collected in adults.
Mushrooms rich in vitamin D will be studied to help shed light on their effects on people with diabetes, the usefulness of a vegetarian vitamin D source, and how they may improve the quality of life for older adults.
This project will determine the magnitude of increases in core body temperature or reductions in body fluids incurred in a warm and humid disabled Pressurized Rescue Module scenario at sea level and at depth (20 feet of seawater) for up to 24 hours.
The overarching goal of this this study is to address the MedEvac foundation priority of educational techniques and technologies, and improve HEMS safety.
This grant will develop models to accurately estimate metabolic energy expenditure and fatigue limits in dismounted female warfighters while rucking in various multi-stressor environments.
Todd C. Rideout, PhD, will test the combination of two nutraceuticals for potential application in the prevention and treatment of metabolic syndrome, a group of risk factors that contribute to increased cardiovascular disease.
This project examines the effects of Respiratory Muscle Training (RMT) on performance during topside operations at altitude and during diving at altitude.
Over 100 million individuals in the United States are obese, including the very young and the very old, a condition associated with insulin insensitivity, metabolic inflexibility, and reduced activities of daily living.
Previous research has established resistant starch (RS) as an effective dietary prebiotic supplement to modulate intestinal function and improve systemic health in both animals and humans.
This study will explore the utility of maternal pulse consumption as a means of limiting the transgenerational influence of obesity by modulating the gut microbiome in mothers and offspring.
This study aims to understand the ramifications of longer work:rest ratios for firefighters, as well as the role of fitness on short- and long-term performance/recovery.
This study will investigate the role of the carotid body chemoreceptors in ventilatory control during hyperbaric exposures when blood oxygen content is elevated.
This randomized controlled trial study will determine the efficacy of an alternative cooling method for exertional heat stroke patients in the wilderness.
This study will evaluate the effects of rehydration strategy on terrestrial performance and overnight recovery following immersion induced dehydration.
Sepsis is a leading cause of death in critical care units worldwide. This study, led by John X. Wilson, PhD, will explore whether something as simple as vitamin C can help reduce mortality from sepsis.
This project will examine the use of HOWI therapy for concussion management and determine if face cooling and/or the cold pressor test are potential objective biomarkers of concussion.
