The overarching goal of this proposal is to test the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a basic needs navigation intervention on improving clinical outcomes, self-care behaviors and quality of life in low-income African Americans with diabetic kidney disease (DKD) experiencing multidimensional adversity. The study objective will be achieved with the following aims: Aim 1: To determine the feasibility of a basic needs navigation intervention as measured by recruitment, session attendance and retention in low-income Africans Americans with DKD experiencing multidimensional adversity. Aim 2: To test the preliminary efficacy of a basic needs navigation intervention on clinical outcomes (hemoglobin A1c, blood pressure, lipids) in low-income Africans Americans with DKD experiencing multidimensional adversity. Hypothesis 1: Individuals randomized to the basic needs navigation intervention will have improved HbA1c at 6 months of follow-up compared to an enhanced usual care group. Hypothesis 2: Individuals randomized to the basic needs navigation intervention will have improved blood pressure at 6 months of follow-up compared to an enhanced usual care group. Hypothesis 3: Individuals randomized to the basic needs navigation intervention will have improved lipids at 6 months of follow-up compared to an enhanced usual care group. Aim 3: To test the preliminary efficacy of a basic needs navigation intervention on self-care behaviors and quality of life (SF-12) in low-income Africans Americans with DKD experiencing multidimensional adversity. Hypothesis 1: Individuals randomized to the basic needs navigation intervention will have improved self-care behaviors at 6 months of follow-up compared to an enhanced usual care group. Hypothesis 2: Individuals randomized to the basic needs navigation intervention will have improved quality of life at 6 months of follow-up compared to an enhanced usual care group. Read Less

This is a two arm, pilot randomized control trial (RCT) in which 60 African American women (AAW), 40-64 years of age, with HbA1c ≥8% and multi-caregiving responsibilities will be recruited from communities in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and randomized to either: 1) an individual-based, social support, health educator-facilitated intervention to address multi-caregiving responsibilities (n=30), or 2) individual-based, health educator-facilitated diabetes education and skills training and general health education (n=30). All sessions will be delivered via telephone (i.e., landline, mobile device, smart device, etc.) by a health educator (i.e., nurse, social worker, Master's trained health educator) and is comprised of 12 weekly sessions and 3 booster sessions. Each session will last up to 60min. All study assessments will be administered by a Program Assistant at baseline, 3-months, and 6-months. Read Less

Transgender individuals are those with a gender identity opposite the sex they were assigned at birth. Approximately 1% of the population is transgender, equating to ~60,000 transgender Wisconsinites. A transgender boy or man is someone with a 46,XX karyotype and typical female genitalia but a male gender identity and desire for more male-typical gender expression. Gender-affirming testosterone (hormonal) treatment (GAHT) is the cornerstone of masculinizing therapy for transgender men and boys, resulting in estrogen (E2) suppression and circulating testosterone (T) levels equivalent to cisgender males. Historically, GAHT was initiated after an E2-driven puberty, but the last decade has seen an explosion of referrals for GAHT in transboys, many of whom are exposed to only low E2 levels before puberty is halted with blocker therapy. Knowledge of risks incurred by GAHT rely on low-quality studies, precluding conclusive assessment of GAHT's long-term impact on cardiometabolic outcomes. Data on transboys receiving GAHT before completion of E2-driven puberty are sparser and no studies have addressed mechanisms by which GAHT may affect vascular physiology. The investigators aim to determine the cardiometabolic impact of GAHT in transboys/men and to determine if any differences identified are mechanistically dependent on the timing of GAHT relative to puberty.

The purpose of this study is to validate previously developed physical function-clustered specific machine-learned accelerometer algorithms to estimate total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) in individuals with general movement and functional limitations. Read Less

This study is a randomized trial examining the impact of expiratory muscle strength training (EMST) on maintenance of safe and efficient oropharyngeal swallow function in persons with cancer of the head and neck (HNCA) undergoing treatment with radiation therapy or chemoradiotherapy (RT/CRT).

The investigator is testing the addition of venetoclax to 5-azacitidine and vorinostat followed by standard chemotherapy to enhance treatment response in AML patients. Read Less

This study evaluates KRT-232, a novel oral small molecule inhibitor of MDM2, for the treatment of patients with myelofibrosis (MF) who no longer benefit from treatment with a JAK inhibitor. Inhibition of MDM2 is a novel mechanism of action in MF. This study will be conducted in 2 phases. Phase 2 will determine the KRT-232 recommended dose and dosing schedule; Phase 3 will test KRT-232 vs Best Available Therapy (BAT). Patients in the Phase 3 part of the study will be randomized 2:1 to receive either KRT-232 (Arm 1) or BAT (Arm 2). The BAT administered will be determined by the treating physician, with the option to "cross-over" to KRT-232 treatment after 6 months of BAT or if the disease worsens at any time. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, drug-levels, drug-effects and preliminary anti-tumor activity of DF6002 alone and in combination with Nivolumab in participants with advanced solid tumors. Read Less
