This study will test whether endothelial dysfunction could be the early subclinical mechanism by which posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) increases cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, and whether posttraumatic fear-a key component of PTSD-or another PTSD dimension could be the target to offset that risk. The results of this study may help trauma-exposed individuals who are at risk of having CVD events. Read Less

Purpose of the Research: The primary aim of the proposed study is to conduct a randomized parallel-group 3-arm clinical trial comparing two mechanistically distinct interventions for pathological anxiety - (1) Interoceptive Exposure (IE) utilizing graduated exposure to somatic cues (respiratory, cardiac, vestibular) with the primary aim of reducing fear responding to the presence of interoceptive perturbations; (2) Capnometry-Guided Respiratory Intervention (CGRI) aimed at raising end-tidal CO2 levels thereby lowering hyperventilation-induced respiratory alkalosis and its associated fear-eliciting somatic reactions; and (3) Psycho-education about anxiety and its effects (PsyEd), which will serve as a credible control comparator.

The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of a universal, digital, single-session intervention for youth mental health, functioning, and well-being. The investigators will be providing access to a brief online program (Project SOLVE) for students as part of the school curriculum. Ukrainian students living in Poland will be randomly assigned to receive Project SOLVE either immediately or after 3 months. The program is designed to help students manage stress and reach their academic and personal goals by teaching them how to solve problems systematically. The investigators would like to evaluate the effectiveness of this intervention in improving students' mental health and well-being. Read Less

The aim of this project is to assess the effectiveness of the IlluminOss pelvic implants in patients with pelvic metastatic disease presenting with pain, risk of pathologic fracture, non-displaced or minimally displaced pathologic fracture of the pelvis, and geriatric patients with pelvic fragility fractures. Results from this study will be used to confirm preliminary clinically and possibly statistically significant reductions in pain and improvements in function among these patients. Read Less

This is an observation study using the Flashback CRI T1 tablet to collect data on compensatory reserve index in pediatric trauma patients. Highest trauma activations at the institution will be enrolled in the study and data will be collected for 12-24 hours based on the patient's hemodynamic status. The device collects data via a pulse oximeter probe. No treatment decisions will be made based on the values of the on the CRI tablet. Data will be retrospectively reviewed to determine if any trends exist that correlate with blood loss, need for operation or blood transfusion. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to test the feasibility and effectiveness of a neurofeedback intervention conducted as an adjunctive behavioral health treatment to reduce trauma and affective symptoms in trauma-exposed youth. Read Less

The study will compare the impact FIRST (a transdiagnostic treatment built upon five empirically supported principles of change) versus usual care outpatient psychotherapy on youths' mental health outcomes and a candidate mechanism of change: regulation of negative emotions. Read Less

Magnesium is a naturally occurring mineral that is important for your body and brain. Magnesium sulfate (study drug) is a medication containing magnesium that is commonly used to improve low blood levels of magnesium. Magnesium sulfate has also proven to be successful in managing pain before and after surgery. However, this drug has primarily been used for pain control in patients undergoing surgery. Patients in the ICU with injuries also need good pain control. Using magnesium may assist in decreasing narcotic (pain reliever) requirements and provide another non-narcotic drug for pain control. The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of continuous, intravenous (into or within a vein using a needle) administration of magnesium sulfate for pain control in trauma patients admitted to the adult Intensive Care Unit. This will be compared to intravenous normal saline (salt solution). Read Less

This is a pilot prospective, observational study of patients with open or infected fracture evaluating the feasibility and acceptability of OCT, a light-based imaging modality that requires no drug or contrast agent. Read Less

The goal of this observational study is to explore the impact of a resiliency and trauma informed care educational intervention for Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) students at the University of Arizona College of Nursing during the final, clinical year of the program. Specifically, the investigators will examine if the educational intervention is feasible, acceptable and helpful to students, and can decrease burnout and increase resiliency. Read Less

This is a single-center, randomized, open-label, Phase 4 clinical trial investigating the efficacy of multiple-dose administrations of Pregabalin or Gabapentin in combination with traditional opioid pain medications to decrease the amount of opioid pain medication usage in single-system orthopedic trauma patients.
