This study will randomly assign 2,300 older adults on waiting lists at fourteen Meals on Wheels programs in Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Tennessee, Texas, North Carolina, South Carolina, and California into two groups who will receive: (a) daily delivery of meals, five days a week or (b) a shipment of 10 frozen meals, every two weeks. Researchers will examine participants' Medicare claims to understand if differences in healthcare utilization occur between the two groups within six months after they start receiving meals. Researchers will also ask participants questions prior to receiving meals, and again at three months, to understand how meals impact their ability to obtain food, their feelings of loneliness, and their overall quality of life. The primary study outcome will be the ratio of days spent in institutional settings (i.e., hospital, nursing home) in the six months after participants begin receiving meals. The secondary outcomes include the ratio of days spent in institutional settings in the three months after participants begin receiving meals, food insecurity, subjective isolation/loneliness, and health-related quality of life. The team will also examine differences in dietary intake between the two groups as an exploratory outcome. Read Less

The main purpose of this study is to assess how olomorasib gets into the blood stream and how long it takes the body to remove it when administered to participants with mild, moderate and severe impaired liver function compared to participants with normal liver function. The safety and tolerability of olomorasib will also be evaluated. The study may last up to 6 weeks for each participant including the screening period. Read Less

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic profiles of Y-3 in healthy adult volunteers in the United States. The main questions it aims to answer are: * What the pharmacokinetic profiles of single ascending doses of Y-3 (40 mg and 60 mg) in the US healthy adult volunteers? * If drug Y-3 (40mg and 60 mg) is safe and tolerate in the US healthy adult volunteers. Researchers will compare drug Y-3 (40 mg and 60 mg) to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to see what the pharmacokinetic profiles of single ascending doses of Y-3 (40 mg and 60 mg) in the US healthy adult volunteers and if drug Y-3 (40mg and 60 mg) is safe and tolerate in the US healthy adult volunteers. Participants will: * Take drug Y-3 (40 mg) or Y-3 (60 mg) or a placebo only once. * Answer questions regarding your medical history. * Comply with the study procedures and requests. * Complete all tests and collections of PK Sampling. * Must not have any special dietary requirements and be able to consume the food (low-fat) provided by Tranquil Clinical Research during your 4-night stay. * Must avoid excessive ( \> 8 cups per day) caffeine consumption (i.e. coffee or tea) during your time in the study. * Must not consume any food or beverage rich in grapefruit, papaya, or mango during your time in the study. * Must not take any other medications, including traditional Chinese medicines and herbal medicines, during your time in the study. * Must avoid sexual activity or use non-drug contraceptive measures (i.e. condoms) during your time in the study. * Female participants must not become pregnant while in the study. * Must not receive any vaccinations during your time in the study. * Must not donate blood for purposes outside of study procedures during your time in the study. * Must not drink alcohol during your time in the study. * Must not smoke during your time in the study. * Inform your Study Doctor if you no longer wish to participate in the study.

Images will be used to improve the understanding of lung health and early lung abnormalities that may lead to chronic lung disease. Read Less

The purpose of Lunar OI (Orthostatic Intolerance) is to determine if there are differences between males and females in tolerance to and cardiovascular responses during different angles of head-up tilt simulating gravity levels less than or equal to Earth's gravity. Also, this study will determine if a gradient compression garment affects tolerance to tilting and the cardiovascular stress at different tilt angles. Males and females are being identified by biological sex. This will be a two-phased study design. In Phase I we will determine whether there are differences in the development of signs or symptoms of orthostatic intolerance between males and females when tilted head up on a table to different angles to simulate gravity levels that astronauts may experience when landing on or launching from the surface of the Moon. In Phase II, the tilt tests simulating the same gravity levels from Phase I will be repeated, but a custom-made lower-body compression garment will be worn to see if wearing the garment affects the development of orthostatic intolerance. For both study phases, before tilting, a drug will be administered to reduce the amount fluid in the blood (plasma) to levels similar to that experienced by astronauts during spaceflight. Read Less

Injuries affecting the central nervous system may disrupt the cortical pathways to muscles causing loss of motor control. Nevertheless, the brain still exhibits sensorimotor rhythms (SMRs) during movement intents or motor imagery (MI), which is the mental rehearsal of the kinesthetics of a movement without actually performing it. Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) can decode SMRs to control assistive devices and promote functional recovery. Despite rapid advancements in non-invasive BCI systems based on EEG, two persistent challenges remain: First, the instability of SMR patterns due to the non-stationarity of neural signals, which may significantly degrade BCI performance over days and hamper the effectiveness of BCI-based rehabilitation. Second, differentiating MI patterns corresponding to fine hand movements of the same limb is still difficult due to the low spatial resolution of EEG. To address the first challenge, subjects usually learn to elicit reliable SMR and improve BCI control through longitudinal training, so a fundamental question is how to accelerate subject training building upon the SMR neurophysiology. In this study, the investigators hypothesize that conditioning the brain with transcutaneous electrical spinal stimulation, which reportedly induces cortical inhibition, would constrain the neural dynamics and promote focal and strong SMR modulations in subsequent MI-based BCI training sessions - leading to accelerated BCI training. To address the second challenge, the investigators hypothesize that neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) applied contingent to the voluntary activation of the primary motor cortex through MI can help differentiate patterns of activity associated with different hand movements of the same limb by consistently recruiting the separate neural pathways associated with each of the movements within a closed-loop BCI setup. The investigators study the neuroplastic changes associated with training with the two stimulation modalities. Read Less

High food motivation among children is trait-like and increases risks of unhealthy dietary intake and obesity. Scientific knowledge of how parenting can best support healthy eating habits and growth among children who are predisposed to overeating is surprisingly limited. This investigation will identify supportive food parenting approaches for obesity prevention that address the needs of highly food motivated children. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to evaluate how well LY4005130 is tolerated and what side effects may occur in healthy participants. The study drug will be administered either subcutaneously (SC) (under the skin) or intravenously (IV) (into a vein in the arm). Blood tests will be performed to check how much LY4005130 gets into the bloodstream and how long it takes the body to eliminate it. Part A for the single-ascending doses (SAD) of the study will last about 12 weeks with 9 visits. Part B for the multiple-ascending doses (MAD) of the study will either last about 16 weeks with 13 visits or 20 weeks with 12 visits not counting the time for screening. Read Less
