Anorexia Nervosa is a serious illness and relapse rates are high. We have shown that behavioral routines get stuck/entrenched. Our newest research, Relapse Prevention and Changing Habits (REACH+) for Anorexia Nervosa, aims to help patients minimize unhelpful routines and develop more healthful recovery-oriented behavior. Participants will complete initial…
People with bulimia nervosa engage in risky behaviors more often than people without this disorder. We are researching the neurobiological underpinnings of risky decision-making in bulimia nervosa. As a participant in this study, you would: (1) complete a series of questionnaires and interviews, (2) complete an MRI scan (no radiation), and (3) complete…

The purpose of this study is to find out how doctors describe hepatic encephalopathy episodes in patients medical records in the course of their regular practice. The aim of the study is simply to collect information from their medical records about how their episodes of overt hepatic encephalopathy are described. There is nothing that will be required of…
The purpose of this study is to compare the time to onset of an episode of overt HE, in subjects with previously demonstrated overt HE after treatment with rifaximin 550 mg BID and lactulose, or rifaximin 550 mg BID. Subjects will be screened to confirm eligibility into the study. Once confirmed, subjects will begin the treatment phase and will be randomly…
This study is for patients with Glaucoma. The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and effectiveness of a study drug called Bimatoprost Sustained Release (SR) compared to treatment with eye drug Timolol. The Bimatoprost SR is an implant that is very small, is biodegradable (dissolves naturally in the body), and contains the bimatoprost drug.
Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. The most important test to detect progression is visual field testing. However, this test is very subjective, often unreliable, and variable. One of the main causes of unreliable tests is the lack of attentiveness or concentration during the test. Previous studies have shown that listening…
Glaucoma is a given name of a group of diseases that affect the retinal ganglion cells in the eye and the optic nerve. Glaucoma cause degeneration of the retinal ganglion cells in the retina and their projections (axons) that form the optic nerve. Retinal ganglion cells and their axons transmit all of our vision information from the eye to the brain through…
