A comprehensive understanding of healthy shoulder motion is a valuable contribution to the academic literature and provides a basis of comparison for various shoulder pathologies and treatments. However, the medical community is primarily interested in how pathology affects shoulder function and the underlying musculoskeletal reasons for impaired function associated with specific pathologies. Rotator cuff tears (RCT) provide an excellent model to study shoulder biomechanics because RCTs can cause significant functional impairment and can be quantified in size and location using standard clinical imaging techniques. Upon completion of this study a comprehensive database of three-dimensional joint angles and EMG patterns of the structures of the shoulder joint complex of dominant and non-dominant during common activities of daily living will be available for healthy subjects and those of subjects whose dominant limbs are impaired by rotator cuff tears. These data will show normal muscle activations and movement patterns required to complete activities of daily living and compare them to the movement, and muscle activation patterns of persons who exhibit muscular and movement dysfunction due to rotator cuff tears.

Increased accumulation of fat into the muscles is associated with what is called insulin-resistant state, which is a pre-diabetic state. The purpose of this research is to find out how fat circulating in the blood following fat consumption is taken up by the muscles in healthy people as well as people that are insulin-resistant. The investigators are specifically interested in how a hormone called insulin is involved in this process. Findings from this research will contribute to our understanding of why insulin-resistant people have increased accumulation of fat in their muscles, and ultimately help to design appropriate interventions to prevent type 2 Diabetes.
NCT00444821
The purpose of this study is to compare endovascular repair using any FDA approved Medtronic AAA Stent Graft System versus surveillance in subjects with smaller abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA)(4-5CM), with respect to AAA rupture and AAA related deaths.
