CLTI Biomarkers Supplement Study of the Esprit BTK Post-Approval Study

Active recruiting
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recently approved the use of the Esprit BTK system for the treatment of narrowed arteries below the knee in patients with critical limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI). The purpose of this research study is to assess the continued safety and effectiveness of the Esprit BTK System. The purpose of the supplement study is to look at whether certain substances in the blood (called biomarkers) can help doctors predict the risk of blood clots or bleeding, understand the condition of the arteries now, and see how the artery health changes over time.

USDA funding supports SIU research linking nutrition and stroke recovery

A stroke can change a life in a matter of minutes. Recovery, however, unfolds over months and years and is shaped by many factors that people can influence, including what they eat. With new funding from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) , SIU researcher Nafisa Jadavji, PhD , is taking a closer look at how nutrition may support brain health and recovery after stroke. The USDA award builds on years of work in Jadavji’s lab focused on vitamin B12 and other nutrients that play a role in how the brain responds to injury. Her research asks practical questions with real-world relevance

A Study in Longevity

Dr. Andrzej Bartke has become a poster child for his research focus “I don’t want to achieve immortality through my work. I want to achieve immortality through not dying.” - Woody Allen Andrzej Bartke, PhD, can appreciate Woody Allen’s joke on two levels. It’s no small feat to sustain a 50-year career in comedy — or in science and biomedical research. And for the past two decades Bartke has studied the biological mechanisms of aging. He well understands the human desire to postpone the inevitable. Within Bartke’s field of geriatric research, gains made in longevity can occur at the expense of
