Healthy Subjects

Background: \- Computed Tomography (CT) is a scan that makes detailed pictures of the body. It uses radiation to do that. In 2011, about 85.3 million CT scans were done in the United States. But there is growing concern about the health effects of radiation. There are new and different ways to make CT pictures that use less radiation. Researchers want to learn whether these new methods create images that are similar to images from a traditional CT. Objective: \- To learn if new CT imaging methods with less radiation make images that are similar to traditional ways. Eligibility: \- Adults 18 years of age and older who are scheduled for a CT of the chest, abdomen and pelvis with contrast. Design: * Researchers will review participants medical records to see if they can be in this study. * Participants may have blood drawn from an arm vein by a needle stick. The blood will be used to make sure they can be in this study and that it is safe for them to have contrast. * During the participants CT scan appointment, one extra scan will be done using low radiation methods. * During a CT scan, the participant lies on a table. A large x-ray machine takes pictures of the body.

Background: \- Gum disease is a condition in which the tissue around the tooth root becomes swollen and infected. This condition can cause tooth loss if it is not treated. Who gets gum disease and how bad it will be depends on (1) the different bacteria in the mouth and (2) how the immune system of an individual handles these bacteria. Researchers want to look at the oral bacteria and genetic immune problems of different people to learn how these affect gum disease and other conditions of the mouth. Objectives: \- To study how immune system problems may lead to problems in the mouth, including gum disease. Eligibility: * Children and adults at least 7 years of age who have genetic problems with their immune system. * Healthy adults that have periodontal disease * Health adults that do not have periodontal disease Design: * This study will involve a screening visit and a study visit. * Participants will be screened with a medical history, blood work and a full oral and dental exam, including dental x-rays and photos. * The study visit will involve collection of blood, urine, and other samples, including saliva, plaque, and gum swabs. Any abnormal tissue will sampled for a biopsy. Additional oral and dental exams will be performed. Participants will also answer questions about any current medical or dental problems.

Many neurodevelopmental, psychiatric, and medical disorders are commonly associated with intellectual disability. The presence of neurodevelopmental and psychiatric (NDP) comorbidities has been reported to negatively impact the clinical outcomes of bowel or bladder dysfunction. Pediatric bladder and bowel dysfunction (BBD) is a common but underdiagnosed condition characterized by a spectrum of lower urinary tract symptoms and is often associated with constipation. Lower urinary tract symptoms include dysuria, urinary urgency, daytime incontinence, and enuresis, while bowel symptoms include constipation and encopresis. Most BBD cases are functional and not neurogenic in origin. In children with special needs, all types of urinary incontinence are reported to occur more frequently compared to children without developmental or behavioral disabilities. Intellectual disability (IQ \<70) is also identified as a significant risk factor for urinary incontinence, with prevalence increasing as IQ decreases. In these children, lower urinary tract symptoms such as overactive bladder, dysfunctional voiding, and low fluid intake are also observed. Furthermore, according to support plans and medical records, 94% of individuals with intellectual and multiple disabilities experience constipation. Interestingly, lower levels of intellectual disability (profound and severe ID) have been associated with a lower prevalence of constipation. Although there are studies in the literature examining bladder and bowel functions separately in specific diagnostic groups with intellectual disability, the number of studies that assess bladder and bowel functions together in children with any form of intellectual disability is limited. Moreover, to our knowledge, there is no study in the literature that evaluates bladder and bowel functions along with child participation and parental quality of life in children with intellectual disability. Based on this gap in the literature, the aim of our study is to examine bladder and bowel functions, participation, and quality of life in children with intellectual disability

The goal of this study is to build a database of personalized EP (Electrical Properties) maps (accounting for age, anatomical location, and tissue complexity), obtained via MRI, to improve electromagnetic safety assessments, especially in the context of MRI.

The study design is a single-center prospective pilot study. Hypothesis: Results of cerebral fNIRS examination in unconscious patients with severe hemorrhagic or ischemic stroke in the ICU are congruent with the results of SSEP and AEP. Hence, making it a potential prognostic tool for unconscious ICU patients. In a specific subgroup of unconscious patients after cardiac arrest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation the fNIRS measurement is congruent with the results of electroencephalography (EEG). The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the agreement of the results of fNIRS examination to those of evoked potentials and EEG in unconscious ICU patients with severe hemorrhagic, or ischemic strokes or hypoxic brain injury after cardiac arrest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation. fNIRS will be compared to evoked potentials in an experimental group consisting of unconscious neuro-intensive care patients and in a control group consisting of healthy, conscious subjects. To compare fNIRS with evoked potentials there are two test phases: 1. The cerebral response to a somatosensory stimulus (peripheral nerve stimulation) is measured by fNIRS and SSEP 2. The cerebral response to an auditory stimulus is measured by fNIRS and AEP To avoid biases the following has to be considered: * The timing of the measurements plays an important role. A time difference between compared measurements can influence the outcome significantly due to deterioration or recovery of the neuronal network during the time gap. Therefore, fNIRS and evoked potentials will be measured simultaneously. * If the compared measurement methods are conducted by the same researcher the possibility of bias is high. Hence, two different researcher will conduct each one measurement without knowing the results of each other during the measurement.

Echointensity and echotexture have been used as a physiological marker for changes in skeletal muscle quality and structure caused by physical training, low activity, ageing and some neuromuscular disorders. However, there are some influencing factors on muscle echo-intensity and echotexture, such as temperature, which may not be taken into account when performing an ultrasound assessment and may alter the results. This study aims to investigate the effects of muscle temperature on echointensity and other 2nd order echotextures variables such as homogeneity, contrast, correlation and entropy of muscle tissue, in order to gain a better understanding of this correlation and minimise its influence, which would allow greater precision in the use of muscle ultrasound as a diagnostic tool. The methodology of this study includes firstly the acquisition of ultrasound images of the vastus lateralis muscle. This acquisition will be performed during the continuous recording of muscle temperature, carried out during a passive cooling process after 20 min of heating using microwave equipment. In addition, to standardise the results, a correction factor will be calculated to compensate for the influence of subcutaneous adipose tissue thickness on echogenicity and echotexture.
