This study will randomly assign 2,300 older adults on waiting lists at fourteen Meals on Wheels programs in Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Tennessee, Texas, North Carolina, South Carolina, and California into two groups who will receive: (a) daily delivery of meals, five days a week or (b) a shipment of 10 frozen meals, every two weeks. Researchers will examine participants' Medicare claims to understand if differences in healthcare utilization occur between the two groups within six months after they start receiving meals. Researchers will also ask participants questions prior to receiving meals, and again at three months, to understand how meals impact their ability to obtain food, their feelings of loneliness, and their overall quality of life. The primary study outcome will be the ratio of days spent in institutional settings (i.e., hospital, nursing home) in the six months after participants begin receiving meals. The secondary outcomes include the ratio of days spent in institutional settings in the three months after participants begin receiving meals, food insecurity, subjective isolation/loneliness, and health-related quality of life. The team will also examine differences in dietary intake between the two groups as an exploratory outcome. Read Less

The investigators will establish how well a novel, quick, and painless way of measuring muscle activity from the mouth and throat works for detecting sleep apnea. This technology is called transmembraneous electromyography (tmEMG). Leveraging two technologies, a new probe capable of recording muscle activity by lightly touching the muscle, as well as a machine learning model for signal interpretation, the investigators will conduct an initial observational feasibility study in phase 1, followed by a larger observational cohort study in phase 2 to assess the performance of deep learning enhanced tmEMG. The study will address a critical unmet need in sleep apnea diagnostics: the availability of an inexpensive, accurate diagnostic test for screening at point of care. Read Less

The goal of this study is to learn whether a new vaccine, V330, is safe and learn how well the body's immune system responds by making antibodies after receiving V330. Read Less

The main purpose of this study is to assess how olomorasib gets into the blood stream and how long it takes the body to remove it when administered to participants with mild, moderate and severe impaired liver function compared to participants with normal liver function. The safety and tolerability of olomorasib will also be evaluated. The study may last up to 6 weeks for each participant including the screening period. Read Less

This study aims to evaluate the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of acute and chronic consumption of two sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) varieties-'Rosy Red Valencia', which is rich in carotenoids such as lycopene, phytoene, and phytofluene, and 'Olinda Valencia', which lacks these carotenoids-in healthy adults. In this 4-week, randomized, parallel-arm clinical trial, participants will consume either 'Rosy Red Valencia' or 'Olinda Valencia' oranges daily. The study will assess the effects of sweet orange intake on markers of oxidative stress and inflammation, plasma carotenoid concentrations, gene expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, and gut health. Findings from this study may help identify potential health benefits associated with specific carotenoid profiles in sweet oranges and provide insights into their role in modulating inflammation and oxidative stress.

YUQ-A1007 is a novel gut-enriched AhR agonist. The nonclinical pharmacology study indicated that YUQ-A1007 has the potential to treat IBD. YUQ-A1007 has not been evaluated in human clinical studies. This study is first-in-human (FIH) study of YUQ-A1007. The goal of this trial is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of oral YUQ-A1007. Read Less

To support optimal behavior in daily life, goals and responses following emotional events should ideally incorporate not only the valence and intensity of prior emotional episodes but also their temporal features, such as the relative duration of positive vs. negative attributes. However, how specific brain regions contribute to the integration of temporal and emotional information and promote goal-directed response remains unknown. The goal of this study is to examine how specific brain regions track both emotional and temporal information of dynamic emotional events to inform other related brain regions to guide goal-oriented and context-appropriate actions. The investigators will scan healthy human participants using functional MRI (fMRI) while they view emotional image sequences and track the associated emotional and temporal (duration) information, and act accordingly. The investigators will employ multivariate patterns analysis and pattern similarity analysis to identify brain regions that represent (can decode) emotion, time, and their combined signals, as well as brain regions that represent the associated action goal. In addition, to infer the causal contributions of these brain regions in forming task-relevant representations (emotion, time, and action goal), the same participants will be recruited to receive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in these regions.

One hundred twenty healthy participants, ages 21 to 70, who experience moderate-to-lower-than-average mental well-being will be evenly randomized into four different study arms, using a 2x2 factorial design. Depending on the study arm, participants will either receive an inactive placebo or up to 25mg psilocybin (oral dose), in one of two set and setting conditions; drug administration contexts that are predicted to modulate drug effects. The purpose of this study is to evaluate any interaction effects between an oral dose of psilocybin and the surrounding context (set and setting). Read Less
