Understanding Factors That Influence Electronic Cigarette Nicotine Delivery Through PET Imaging of Beta-2 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors
The goal of this proposal is to test the overall hypothesis that e-cigarettes (ECs) provide efficient nicotine delivery to the brain and arterial blood in non-EC-nave smokers and e-cigarette users and that EC liquid characteristics modulate this effect. This study will test the hypothesis through complementary methods that include [ …

Effects of Oxytocin on Cognitive and Reactive Fear
The study examines the (sub)regional specificity of anxiolytic oxytocin (OXT) effects on emotional face processing and reactive and cognitive fear. Preliminary data indicate that the Receptor for Advanced Glycation End Products (RAGE) may regulate oxytocin transport into the brain. Thus, the study aims to replicate previous observations of oxytocin effects …

Vacuum Assisted Biopsy Immediately Before Surgery as an Intra- or Pre-Operative Surrogate for Patient Response to Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy for Breast Cancer
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is common practice in the primary treatment of breast cancer, leading to a complete pathologic remission (pCR) of the tumor in more than 50% in aggressive tumor types. As NAC induces different response patterns, radiologic imaging is not sufficiently accurate in predicting residual disease. Because of this …

Nivolumab Ipilimumab and Chemoradiation in Treating Patients With Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer.
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains a dreadful disease due to its often advanced stage at diagnosis and poor sensitivity to chemotherapy. A locally unresectable tumor (locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC)) is present in 30% of the cases and is defined as a surgically unresectable tumor encasing the adjacent arteries [celiac …
