Project Details
Description
This application seeks support for five years for a General Clinical
Research Center to be situated in San Antonio, which is now the 9th largest
city in the United States and is the referral center for the 2-3 million
people who live in South Texas. This clinical research facility will
consist of 12 beds and will be located in tahe Special Diagnostic and
Treatment Unit at the Audie L. Murphy Memorial Veterans' Administration
Hospital, a teaching hospital of the University of Texas Health Science
Center at San Antonio which is contiguous with the medical school. The
current facility already contains the beds, nurses, laboratory space,
equipment, dietitian and dietary aids, and office, kitchen and conference
room space which is necessary for a General Clinical Research Center. This
current application is designed to provide a mechanism for performing
clinical reserach on non-veterans as well as veterans in this facility in
such a way as to make maximal use of existing resources. This grant
application is for a multi-disciplinary program in clinical research
involving the Departments of Medicine, Pediatrics, Psychiatry, Obstetrics
and Gynecology and Pharmacology. The 42 protocols in this proposal cover
areas such as calcium, phosphorus and bone metabolism in neoplastic
disease, adenosine deaminase deficiency and immunodeficiency disease, the
pathophysiology of Bartter's Syndrome, pathogenesis and treatment of
essential hypertension, factors influencing growth at puberty, development
of new agents and methods for treating neoplastic disease, potassium and
acid-base balance in renal disease, lectin receptors on normal and
neoplastic human lymphocytes, the psychobiology of depression and
esophageal motility.
