The purpose of the study is to establish a clinical cohort for the Duke/UNC Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (ADRC). The cohort will be composed of subjects ages 25 to 44 at enrollment with normal cognition and subjects ages 45 to 80 at enrollment with normal cognition, mild cognitive impairment, or a dementia diagnosis. Initial data including demographics, medical and family history, physical exam, and neuropsychological testing will be obtained. Participants will be asked to contribute a blood sample, a urine sample, a cerebrospinal fluid sample, and undergo a MRI scan. The cohort ages 45 to 80 will be seen yearly until death to evaluate medical status, undergo neuropsychological testing and possibly collect additional samples or undergo additional imaging. All data will be de-identified and stored by the ADRC. The purpose of this study is to examine normal cognition, mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) as people get older. The investigators also hope to be able to assess risk factor information of the role of genes and environmental exposures (for example health conditions, diet, and medications) in Alzheimer's disease and related disorders (ADRD) and other conditions of aging. The biological samples collected in the study will create a repository. A repository is a collection of blood and tissue samples from people with certain diseases and conditions. For the purpose of this research, the investigators hope to help researchers learn more about Alzheimer's disease and related disorders and other conditions of aging. Read Less

Our intent is to establish the International Registry to Improve Outcomes in Men with Advanced Prostate Cancer (IRONMAN) as a prospective, international cohort of minimum 5,000 men with advanced cancer, including men with mHSPC and M0/M1 CRPC. The goal is to establish a population-based registry and recruit patients across academic and community practices from Australia, Barbados, Brazil, Canada, Ireland, Jamaica, Kenya, Nigeria, Norway, Spain, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom (UK), and the United States (US). Target accrual number and number of participating sites are subject to change based on accrual, funding, and interest in participation by other international sites. This cohort study will facilitate a better understanding of the variation in care and treatment of advanced prostate cancer across countries and across academia and community based practices. Detailed data will be collected from patients at study enrollment and then during follow-up, for a minimum of five years. Patients will be followed prospectively for overall survival, clinically significant adverse events, comorbidities, changes in cancer treatments, and PROMs. PROMs questionnaires will be collected at enrollment and every three months thereafter. Physician Questionnaires will be collected from all participating sites at patient enrollment, time of first change in treatment and/or one year follow-up, at each subsequent change of treatment, and discontinuation of treatment. As such, this registry will help identify the treatment sequences or combinations that optimize overall survival and PROMs for men with mHSPC and M0/M1 CRPC. By collecting blood at enrollment, time of first change in treatment and/or one year follow-up (plasma, cell free DNA, buffy coat / RNA), this registry will further identify and validate molecular phenotypes of disease that predict response and resistance to specific therapeutics. Additionally, every effort will be made to collect blood specimen at each subsequent change in treatment due to progression of disease. When feasible, existing tumor tissue may be collected for correlation with described blood based studies. All samples will be used for future research. This cohort study will provide the research community with a unique biorepository to identify biomarkers of treatment response and resistance. Read Less

Conditions treated in intensive care units (ICUs) such as the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), congestive heart failure, COVID pneumonia, and sepsis are common. These can lead to high rates of depression, anxiety, and PTSD that worsen quality of life. Yet there are few effective strategies able to overcome barriers of limited access to mental health care. Even less is known about the experiences of patients from racially and ethnically minoritized populations because of they haven't been included well in past research. To address this problem, the investigators developed Blueprint, a mobile app that coaches people to use adaptive coping skills to self-manage their symptoms. The investigators found that it reduced depression symptoms and improved quality of life compared to placebo. To confirm these promising findings, the investigators are doing a formal test of Blueprint. The investigators will enroll 400 people who received ICU care from 4 hospitals (Duke, UCLA, Colorado, and Oregon). These patients will be randomized to receive either the Blueprint mobile app or a special Education Program mobile app the investigators developed. -both delivered through similar mobile app platforms. Our specific aims are to see which program improves symptoms better across 6 months of follow up. This project addresses national research priorities and could advance the field with a personalizable yet population-focused therapy that could be scaled broadly and efficiently to enhance mental health equity.
