Most individuals with asthma can effectively manage their symptoms and maintain normal lung function using inhaled medications, unfortunately, there is a subset of asthma sufferers whose symptoms, lung function, and risk of asthma attacks remain unimproved despite conventional inhaled medications. There could be several reasons for this.

The purpose of this study is to determine if non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) use in the postoperative setting increases the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) in pediatric patients with mild-to-moderate chronic kidney disease (CKD). The investigators hypothesize that there is no increased risk.

This study aims to determine if GLP1RA is safe and tolerable in maintenance dialysis population, adherence, and feasibility of a larger definitive cardiovascular outcome trial in this population. Participants will be randomized 1:1 to either weekly subcutaneous semaglutide versus usual care and followed for 26 weeks.

Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) is a hormone that helps regulate blood glucose levels through improved insulin sensitivity and release of insulin from the pancreas, control hunger, induce satiety and plays a role in the metabolic health of a person. GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RAs) have been shown to be effective in achieving weight loss in patients with type 2 diabetes while improving blood glucose control.

The goal of this open-label, non-randomized clinical trial is to determine what effects, if any, an FDA-approved drug class known as SGLT2 inhibitors (Canagliflozin or INVOKANA) has any protective effects on kidney function in Type 2 diabetes. We are looking for participants 18-80 years of age, who have had a clinical diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes for ≥ 3 years.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is highly prevalent in the state of Aguascalientes, Mexico, particularly among adolescents and young adults. Epidemiologic and histologic studies suggest that this burden is largely driven by reduced nephron endowment of prenatal origin, leading to compensatory glomerular hyperfiltration, adaptive podocytopathy, and persistent albuminuria at early stages of disease.

Primary Objective:To study podocyte specific injury markers in African American Veterans with non-diabetic kidney disease(NDKD), on empagliflozin therapy. Primary Endpoint: Assess the effect of Empagliflozin on podocyte-specific proteins in exosomes isolated from subjects' urine, such as nephrin, podocalyxin and Wilms'Tumor (WT-1) protein.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the site and mechanisms responsible for expiratory airflow limitation in chronic, treated, non-smoking, stable asthmatics with moderate to severe persistent expiratory airflow obstruction. Treatment will include inhaled corticosteroids and long acting beta2agonists.

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if positive pressure during inspiration will improve penetration of aerosolized N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) into airway mucus plugs in the lungs of patients with asthma or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does delivery of aerosolized NAC with positive inspiratory pressure have a greater effect on mucus plug burden in the lungs than delivery of NAC without positive pressure.

The objectives of this study are to determine the sensory-mechanical responses to Eucapneic Voluntary Hyperventilation (EVH) and Mannitol in individuals with cough variant asthma (CVA) and methacholine-induced cough with normal airway sensitivity (COUGH) and compare these responses to a control group of healthy individuals without asthma or chronic cough. We hypothesize: 1.
