This is a single-center, proof-of-concept pilot study which uses a cross-over design to compare two dietary interventions/treatments: Western Diet (WD) vs Mediterranean (MD) and impact on quality-of-life parameters in AIH. Participants will receive both treatments through two phases and will be divided into two groups. Read Less

The objective of the study is to assess the efficacy of STAT, an activity-based therapy protocol compared to standard therapy (ST) to improve functional outcome and reduce disability in patients recovering from burn injury. This randomized multi-center trial is designed with two parallel treatment groups: STAT and ST. Efficacy of the STAT protocol will be determined through comparison to the ST only group. It will be conducted at seven burn centers. Read Less

Childhood chronic vasculitis describes a group of rare life-threatening diseases that have in common inflammation of blood vessels in vital organs such as kidneys, lungs and brain. Most knowledge about them comes from adult patients. Severe disease requires aggressive life-saving treatments with steroids and some cancer drugs which can themselves cause damage, and increase risks of cancer and severe infections. Conversely, milder disease can be treated with less toxic drugs. Different classification and "scoring tools" are used to define the types and severity of vasculitis and to measure damage caused by disease or drugs. These in turn help direct how aggressively to treat a patient and to measure outcome. None of these tools however have been assessed in children and the best balance of disease and treatment risks against outcome for children is not known. Although causes of these diseases in children and adults are probably the same, the effects of the disease and the response (good and bad) to drugs will differ in growing children. Because specialists may see only one new child with vasculitis each year, obtaining enough information to learn about childhood vasculitis requires cooperation. We will use an international web-based registry to which doctors from 50 or more centers can contribute patient data. We will determine the features which help better classify and diagnose children compared to adults. Through the web we will collect and analyze information on patients similarly classified and "scored" so that most successful treatments can be identified. Children with vasculitis are less likely to have diseases associated with aging, alcohol and smoking etc., and therefore may be a better group in whom to study the underlying biology of vasculitis. We will use this opportunity and collect spit, blood and tissue from registry patients for laboratory study with an aim to find biomarkers to better classify, define and direct optimal treatment and outcomes.

Adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of cancer face a future of persistent medical issues across a wide spectrum of diseases One study examining health data from this cohort (ages 15-29) reported significantly higher rates of smoking, obesity, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, asthma, and poorer mental health among the cancer survivors when compared to healthy controls. Prescribed exercise has broad and far-reaching beneficial physiological effects that cut across multiple body systems and consistently improves emotional well-being, decreases fatigue and depression, and enhances quality of life. Although a growing body of evidence consistently demonstrates the physiological and psychological benefits of exercise interventions in adults with cancer, there are no studies examining the effects of individualized, prescribed, supervised exercise in pediatric, adolescent and young adult cancer survivors.

The goal of this observational study is to learn about functional and patient reported outcomes in patient undergoing total wrist replacement with the KinematX total wrist replacement study. The main questions it aims to answer are: * What is the range of motion (flexion, extension, radial, ulnar, grip and pinch strength) at 3-, 6-, and 12-months after surgery and yearly up to 10 years among patients having total wrist replacement with the KinematX implant. * What are the patient reported outcomes (PROMIS, PRWE, HSS wrist expectations) at 3-, 6-, and 12-months after surgery and yearly up to 10 years among patients having total wrist replacement with the KinematX implant. * How do range of motion and patient reported outcomes change over the 10 years after total wrist replacement surgery? Participants will be followed according to standard of care and preoperative and post-operative information for up to 10 years after surgery will be collected and entered into an electronic data base. Patients are eligible to enroll into the registry before or after they have had their wrist replacement surgery. Read Less

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of budesonide extended-release tablets for the induction of remission in pediatric subjects, with active, mild to moderate ulcerative colitis (UC). Subjects will be permitted to continue taking background oral or rectal 5-aminosalicylate (5-ASA) products. Read Less

Highly prevalent among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and poorly controlled blood pressure (BP), is a modifiable risk factor to abrogate both kidney failure progression and cardiovascular (CV) disease. Spironolactone (SPL), a mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist, is widely used to treat resistant hypertension, however one of the most common side effects is an increase of serum potassium (K). This side effect occurs frequently in those who suffer from CKD. Alternatively, chlorthalidone (CTD) is a thiazide-like diuretic used for treating hypertension and decreases serum K. In this pilot study, our goal is to assess whether the combination of SPL and CTD can improve BP control, while also reducing the risk of hyperkalemia over a period of 12 weeks. We hypothesize that among patients with CKD and poorly controlled hypertension, compared to SPL and placebo, treatment over 12 weeks with CTD will counter the hyperkalemia effect of SPL, and therefore the combination of SPL with CTD will result in a lower BP. This pilot study will be performed at Richard L. Roudebush VA in Indianapolis, Indiana. Read Less
