The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the Otolith Labs device can improve vestibular function of subjects with vestibular migraine. The main questions it aims to answer are: * When the Otolith Labs device is on, are objective measures of the vestibular system better than when the device is off? * When the Otolith Labs device is on are subjective measures of the vestibular system better than when the device is off? * Are the objective measures related to the subjective measures? Researchers will change the order of the device settings to ensure the changes aren't due to the order they are tested. Participants will: * Wear the Otolith Labs device while in a rotary chair at different settings for different tests. All of the rotary chair testing will take less than an hour. * Answer questions about how the rotary chair testing made them feel for each test. * Answer questions about their every-day susceptibility to motion sickness and about their vestibular migraine symptoms.

Background: Over 26 million Americans have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which is the third leading cause of death in the United States. Unfortunately, few patients receive proven therapies and many receive therapies known to have safer alternatives. One major reason is the competing demands of primary care providers (PCPs) who manage 90% of patients with COPD. The research team has developed a population management approach where pulmonary specialists provide evidence-based recommendations as an E-consult with unsigned orders to PCPs. PCPs can then quickly review the E-consult and sign, modify, or discontinue these orders. The investigators found this intervention led to marked improvements in the quality-of-care delivered and patients' COPD-related quality-of-life. While promising, this approach is limited by a paucity of pulmonary providers nationwide. Clinical pharmacists are 20 times more prevalent as pulmonary specialists and some regions of VA (VISN 17, COPD Cares) have assigned clinical pharmacists a role in the management of patients with COPD. However, the relative effectiveness of pharmacist-led management is yet to be established. Study Description: This study tests population management for COPD provided by pharmacists relative to pulmonary specialists. The investigators are conducting a cluster randomized clinical trial at five medical centers and their associated clinics within the Department of Veterans Affair. Study staff will randomize PCPs to population management conducted by either pulmonary specialists or pharmacists. Within PCPs' panels, study staff will use VA electronic health record to identify patients with evidence of COPD. Pulmonologists and pharmacists will review these patients and provide guideline-based recommendations to PCPs. Pulmonary specialists and pharmacists will then deliver evidence-based recommendations through E-consults coupled with unsigned orders for primary care providers to sign, modify or decline. Outcomes: Investigators will assess if proactive, population management recommendations by clinical pharmacists and pulmonary specialists lead to non-inferior outcomes for patients with COPD. The primary outcome will be a composite endpoint of COPD exacerbation, pneumonia, hospitalization, or death six month after intervention. Secondary outcomes will include 1) the proportion of guideline recommended therapies received by patients, 2) COPD-related quality-of-life as measured by the Clinical COPD Questionnaire, and 3) PCP acceptance of recommendations, 4) each individual outcome within the primary composite endpoint above, and 5) patient- and caregiver-incurred costs.

In this multi-center randomized clinical trial, head and neck cancer (HNC) survivors with clinically significant body image distress (BID) (N=180) will be randomized to BRIGHT (a brief video tele-cognitive behavioral therapy intervention) or Attention Control (AC, a manualized tele-supportive care intervention that controls for professional attention, dose, delivery method, and common factors). HNC survivors will complete IMAGE-HN (a validated patient-reported outcome measure \[PROM\] of HNC-related body image distress \[BID\]; primary endpoint), measures of psychological and social well-being and quality of life (QOL), and measures of theory-derived mechanisms of change underlying BRIGHT (mediators).

The purpose of this study is to compare two brief interventions targeting potentially problematic cannabis use in emerging adults (ages 18-25). Brief interventions are two 40-50 minute sessions separated by 1 week. Eligible emerging adults will complete a detailed cannabis assessment (biological and self-report), followed by one of the two brief interventions, and three follow-up assessments: one immediately after the second session and at 1- and 3-months post-intervention. Assignment to the brief intervention is random. Salivary samples will be collected at baseline, post-intervention, and both follow-ups, for a total of 4 samples, to be tested for tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). Read Less

This study examines the impact of social and genetic factors on outcomes in adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors of Hodgkin or non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Compared to both older adult and childhood cancer patients, AYAs with cancer experience different diagnoses and specific biological, clinical, psychological and social factors that affect their risks for post-treatment morbidity and premature death. Collecting samples of blood samples and health and treatment information from cancer survivors of Hodgkin or non-Hodgkin lymphoma may help doctors identify conditions that increase the likelihood of AYAs getting sick and dying after treatment of cancer and better understand how to address the needs of adolescent and young adult cancer survivors.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the vaccine FK-PC101 works to delay or prevent the return of prostate cancer in men who have had surgery to remove their prostate cancer. It will also learn about the safety of FK-PC101. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does FK-PC101 delay or prevent the return of prostate cancer following surgery? What medical problems do participants (subjects) have when taking FK-PC101? Researchers will compare FK-PC101 to current treatment practice to see if FK-PC101 works to prevent or delay the return of prostate cancer following surgery to remove the prostate cancer tumor. Subjects will: Have a sample of the prostate cancer tissue collected at the time of surgery to remove this tissue from the body. This tissue will then be used to create a personalized vaccine that is specific to your prostate cancer. If randomly selected to receive the vaccine, subjects will receive the vaccine up to 7 times over a 6-month period. In addition to the treatment visits for those randomized to receive FK-PC101, there will be up to 4 follow up visits to the clinic over a 22-month (nearly 2 year) period. For subjects randomized to receive current treatment practice, they will be asked to attend up to 8 visits over 22 months to track if there is any detectable cancer. Should their prostate cancer return within a year following surgery, they will be eligible to receive FK-PC101, which already had been produced and thus no additional tumor tissue would need to be obtained. Subjects in both study arms will have regular blood tests and scans to test whether their prostate cancer has returned. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to establish the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) and/or maximum tolerated dose (MTD), safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and antitumor activity of ORIC-114 as a Single Agent or in Combination with Chemotherapy when administered to patients with advanced solid tumors harboring an EGFR or HER2 alteration.
