Comparing Two Different Emotion Therapies for Autistic Youth and Young Adults
NCT06158581
Recruiting
Too few clinicians are able and willing to help autistic patients. A recent review identified challenges to mental health service delivery in autism, including a lack of interventions designed for community implementation and limited workforce capacity. It has been argued that improving impairment in emotion regulation has the potential to improve a range of mental health difficulties in autistic people. In this clinical trial, the investigators are comparing two evidence-based interventions for... Read More

Frailty in Patients With Gastrointestinal Cancer Who Are Undergoing Major Surgery
NCT05694338
Recruiting
This research is for patients who have gastrointestinal cancer and have a planned major surgery. The purpose of this research is to identify cancer patients who may be at risk for frailty. Frailty is common in older adults and may include symptoms of weight loss, weakness, fatigue, low activity, slow walking and other illnesses. Frailty may increase the risk of problems after major surgery. The study will involve a survey, a blood sample, and a review of medical records.

Acne is common illness of adolescents and young adults which is associated with substantial morbidity. While topical treatments are often sufficient for mild acne, moderate to severe acne often requires treatment with systemic medications such as oral antibiotics, hormonal therapies such spironolactone, and isotretinoin. Sebum overproduction is fundamental to the pathogenesis of acne with associated disordered keratinization and subsequent microbial colonization and inflammation resulting in the... Read More

The purpose of this research is to evaluate the ability of a Nitric Oxide (NO) Sensor to collect NO measurement data from an open wound. Previous research suggests that NO levels may indicate the stage of healing the wound is in. This study is being done to determine if the NO Sensor can measure how much NO is in a participant's wound. The researcher will place the NO Sensor into a participant's wound to collect NO measurements for 30-60 minutes. The participant will then have 2 follow-up appoin... Read More
