The researchers are doing this study to compare two different types of group therapy and find out whether they are effective approaches for helping breast cancer survivors manage joint pain caused by aromatase inhibitors (AI). This type of joint pain is called AI-associated arthralgia, or AIA, and it is common in people taking AIs. AIA and its associated symptoms can make some people decide to stop taking their medication. The study will look at the effects of two different types of group therapy on participants' cancer-related symptoms (such as pain, fatigue, and anxiety), their ability to continue taking AIs on a regular schedule, and their quality of life. We will measure participants' quality of life by having them fill out questionnaires. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a multi-component intervention to improve young cancer survivors' engagement in goal-concordant oncofertility care, concurrently with observing and gathering information on how the intervention is implemented. The investigators hypothesize that implementation of the intervention will result in increased young cancer survivors' engagement in goal-concordant oncofertility care. Read Less

Suicide prevention is the top clinical priority for VA/DoD. Suicide is one of the leading causes of death in the United States and worldwide with suicide rates among U.S. military Veterans doubling (27.7 per 100,000) the rate of civilian levels. Despite a rise in prevention efforts, rates have continued to increase. Theories of suicide and rehabilitation psychology stress the importance of the person-environment interaction in contributing to one's disability experience. Several studies have found that the most frequent situation precipitating suicide was a problem with a romantic partner. In contrast, people with higher relationship satisfaction are less likely to have suicidal thoughts. Prevention of suicide in high risk Veterans is of vital importance and the quality of one's intimate relationship is an understudied intervention target for suicide prevention. Despite the fact that VA/DoD recommend and Veterans desire treatments that involve family members, currently no couple-based suicide-specific interventions exist. The goals of this CDA-II proposal are to refine and pilot a novel suicide-specific couple-based intervention: Treatment for Relationships and Safety Together (TR\&ST). TR\&ST adapts an evidence-based intervention for suicide, Brief Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (BCBT) for Suicide, to be dyadically focused and integrates Cognitive Behavioral Couple Therapy (CBCT) skills. The proposed 5-year study consists of two phases. Phase 1: treatment refinement with 12 couples (N=24) and Phase 2: pilot Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) of TR\&ST compared to VA Standard Suicide Intervention, which will involve suicide risk assessment, VA safety planning, Suicide Prevention Coordinator (SPC) follow-up, and referral to outpatient mental health with 60 couples (N=120). The intervention period is 11-weeks and the entire study period is approximately 7 months. Couples in both phases will be quantitatively assessed at baseline, mid-treatment, post-treatment, and 3-months post-treatment. The primary outcome to be evaluated is change in severity of suicidal thoughts. Secondary outcomes concern changes in interpersonal functioning theorized to influence suicidal thoughts and behavior.

Background and Significance: Bifidobacterium longum subspecies infantis (B. infantis) and other infant associated Bifidobacterium (such as Bifidobacterium longum subspecies longum and Bifidobacterium breve) are known to be important bacteria in the infant gut microbiome. A lack of Bifidobacterium in the infant gut may lead to disordered development of the infant microbiome and immune system, which can contribute to the development of gastrointestinal issues, pathogenic infections, and immune-related conditions including allergic disease and autoimmune disorders. The investigators hypothesize that establishing Bifidobacterium in the infant gut through delivery of a synbiotic, containing bifidobacterium and human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs; Bifidobacterium's primary nutrient source) may modulate the microbiome and correct this disruption. Research Question: Does synbiotic supplementation on infants and toddlers of various ages alter the gut microbiome as measured by GI-tolerance, fecal microbiome composition, and fecal metabolic profile? Objectives: * Demonstrate shifts in microbiome composition and metabolism * Demonstrate tolerance by observing neutral or positive shifts in GI related behaviors Study Design Overview: Participants Infants aged 2-24 months will be enrolled to evaluate the ability of a synbiotic (human milk oligosaccharide + a Bifidobacterium blend (B. infantis, B. longum, and B. breve)) to modulate the gut microbiome. Infants will be randomly split into two cohorts, one that receives synbiotic supplementation and one that receives a placebo control (lactose). Initially, only ages 12-24 months will be enrolled (first 25 participants), and a safety review will be performed prior to enrolling younger infants. Cohorts * Cohort 1 (supplementation) participants will be aged 2 months to 24 months. They will receive synbiotic supplementation for 1 month. * Cohort 2 (no supplementation) participants will be aged 2 months to 24 months. Will receive placebo (lactose) over the course of 1 month. Design Caretakers will be recruited and screened using an online questionnaire to determine eligibility and cohort assignment. They will give consent using an online one-party consent form (Appendix 1). Participants will be distributed randomly between cohorts 1 and 2. Participants will be shipped the synbiotic or placebo (lactose) and a set of stool sampling kits. Calls with the participant will take place throughout the study as necessary to explain participant responsibilities and ensure compliance. Two sample types will be collected during the study, a full fecal sample and a DNA/RNA tube only. The full fecal sample will be collected at the beginning and end of supplementation and the DNA/RNA tube only will be collected at all other time points. Samples will be collected at supplementation start, one week after supplementation, four weeks after supplementation start (coinciding with the end of supplementation) and 6 weeks after supplementation start (coinciding with a 2 week washout period). Journals and questionnaires will be used for the duration of supplementation as well as 2 weeks before and after to assess the impact of supplementation. Laboratory Assessments: Stool samples will be obtained for each subject. The first sample will be taken before supplementation start. Additional samples will be collected: after 1 week of supplementation, after 1 month of supplementation, and after a 2 week period of no supplementation (a washout period). All samples will be collected at home and shipped back to Persephone Biosciences for processing. The initial sample and the sample after 4 weeks of supplementation will be full samples for metagenomic, metabolomic, and proteomic analysis. The 1 week after supplementation and 2 week post supplementation samples will be DNA/RNA tube samples for metagenomics only. Microbial whole genome sequencing, metabolite analysis, and immune profiling will be performed on stool from complete stool kits. Microbial whole genome sequencing alone will be performed on the DNA/RNA tube kits. Data Collection: Demographic data, general health information, diet and lifestyle information will be collected from the subjects (all self-reported). Journals and questionnaires will be used to evaluate the impact of the synbiotic. Read Less

Preterm neonates born at less than 30 weeks' gestation are commonly maintained on invasive or non-invasive respiratory support to facilitate gas exchange. While non-invasive respiratory support (NIS) can be gradually reduced over time as the infant grows, most weaning strategies often lead to weaning failure. This failure is evidenced by an increase in significant events such as apneas, desaturations, and/or bradycardias, increased work of breathing, or an inability to oxygenate or ventilate, resulting in escalated respiratory support. Although the optimal approach to weaning NIS remains uncertain, neonatal units that delay Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) weaning until 32-34 weeks corrected gestational age exhibit lower rates of chronic lung disease. Therefore, the investigators aim to compare the duration on respiratory support and oxygen exposure in infants born at less than 30 weeks' gestational age who undergo a structured weaning protocol that includes remaining on CPAP until at least 32-34 weeks corrected gestational age (CGA). The hypothesis posits that preterm infants following a structured weaning protocol, including maintaining CPAP until a specific gestational age, will demonstrate lower rates of weaning failure off CPAP (defined as requiring more support and/or experiencing increased stimulation events 72 hours after CPAP weaning) than those managed according to the medical team's discretion.
