The investigators will study the harm-reducing effect of hemp-derived CBD in non-treatment-seeking emerging adults who use cannabis regularly. The study will use a novel naturalistic cannabis administration approach, which examines ecologically valid cannabis use utilizing a mobile lab setting to assess the effects of the cannabis products the participants regularly use. The investigators will recruit a sample of emerging adults, half of whom primarily use flower products and half of whom primarily use concentrate products. Individuals will be randomly assigned to hemp-derived CBD or placebo. Read Less

This study is a randomized, placebo-controlled, dose-ranging trial of plant-derived cannabidiol (CBD) among people who regularly use cannabis concentrates but are not trying to stop or cut down on their use. The main questions it aims to answer are whether CBD, relative to placebo, reduces cannabis concentrate use, the subjective effects of cannabis, or cannabis craving. Participants will take CBD (200 mg or 400 mg per day) or placebo for 4 weeks and will complete three visits during the study medication period, all conducted using a mobile laboratory. Read Less

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the associations of young children's early life experiences with delaying behaviors and links with later life outcomes. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Do experiences with waiting in early childhood predict delaying behavior in context-specific ways? * Are links between delaying behavior and life outcomes impacted by social conventions, effort and choices around delaying, or other behaviors? Participants will: * Complete two delaying tasks with either a sweet or wrapped gift * Complete three "Simon says"-like games that measure inhibition, cognitive flexibility and proactive control * Answer a set of questions about academic readiness * Answer a set of questions about social conventions * Complete a waiting game on the computer while a camera records eye movements * Parents will answer questions about their child's behaviors and experiences at home * Participants will return after 1 year to repeat a subset of these measures Read Less

This phase III trial compares the effects of radiation therapy using RapidPlan, trademark, knowledge-based planning to human-driven planning in treating patients with prostate cancer. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays, particles, or radioactive seeds to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Successful delivery of radiation requires planning to develop a treatment plan for how and where the radiation is to be delivered. RapidPlan is a knowledge-based treatment planning tool that automatically creates an optimal treatment plan based on identified targets and organs at risk for radiation exposure. Human-driven treatment planning by a dosimetrist, the current standard of care, requires significant resources and time and may vary within and among radiation centers. Giving radiation therapy with RapidPlan knowledge-based planning may have similar or less side effects compared to human-driven planning in treating patients with prostate cancer. Read Less

The incidence and severity of postoperative pain after spine surgery are notably high, often requiring intensive management and potentially affecting the patient's recovery, satisfaction, and long-term outcomes. Post-operative pain is particularly difficult to manage in patients with substance use disorder likely due to a combination of withdrawal symptoms and molecular changes in the pain matrix. Opiates are the leading cause of overdose related fatalities, and carry a significant burden of substance related morbidity and mortality. As over 80% of patients undergoing low-risk surgery receive opioid prescriptions, the investigators aim to identify unique molecular characteristics of pain within current and previous opioid users, which have been understudied in this context. This study also seeks to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying worsened postoperative pain in patients with opioid use disorder (OUD). Flow cytometry analysis of human serum will be done, which will assess circulating immune cells that can contribute to exacerbated surgery site inflammation. Spatial profiling of gene expression will be done in the dermis using Visium slide sequencing, focusing on the interplay between nerve endings, resident immune cells, and supporting dermal cells, all of which collectively contribute to the sensation pain. Both the visual pain rating scale and McGill Pain Questionnaire will be used to comprehensively quantify pain outcomes during the participant's postoperative recovery stay after surgery in an effort to better understand postoperative pain management with biomarkers of worsened postoperative pain.

The purpose of this study is to understand if combining Low Vision Rehabilitation (LVR) with Emotional Regulation Therapy (ERT) can help people with inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) that experience emotional distress related to participants' vision loss. The study team hypothesize that treatment with LVR will produce measurable functional gains and that these effects will be enhanced by ERT-linked improvement among the subgroup of IRD patients with elevated vision-related anxiety.

Hospitalized infants with severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and feeding intolerance will be randomized to 2 weeks of continuous gastric feeding or continuous transpyoloric feeding. Subjects will crossover after 2 weeks and receive 4 weeks of each feeding mode. Respiratory status will be assessed to determine the optimal feeding mode for each infant. Read Less

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the optimal timing for measuring cervical length (CL) during fetal anatomy surveys in pregnant individuals. This study focuses on improving the accuracy of cervical length assessments, which are critical for identifying individuals at risk for preterm birth. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does measuring cervical length at the beginning of the anatomy survey result in a higher proportion of scans meeting the nine CLEAR (Cervical Length Education and Review) criteria compared to measuring at the end of the survey? * Does the use of sepia-filtered ultrasound images improve the proportion of scans meeting the nine CLEAR criteria compared to conventional grayscale images? Researchers will compare two groups of participants randomized to have cervical length measured either at the beginning or at the end of the anatomy survey. Additionally, all participants will undergo cervical length measurements using both grayscale and sepia-filtered ultrasound imaging. Participants will: * Receive a patient information sheet through MyChart explaining the study and standard cervical length screening during anatomy surveys. * Provide verbal consent for a transvaginal ultrasound and study participation. * Be randomized to have their cervical length measured at either the start or end of the fetal survey. * Undergo cervical length measurement using both grayscale and sepia-filtered ultrasound imaging modalities. * This study involves no additional risks beyond those of routine clinical care and aims to enhance clinical practice by identifying optimal methods for cervical length assessment during pregnancy.

Patients have a type of cancer called NHL, Multiple Myeloma (MM) or CLL that has come back or has not gone away after treatment. There is no standard treatment for the cancer at this time or the currently used treatments do not work completely in all cases like these. This is a gene transfer research study using special immune cells. The body has different ways of fighting infection and disease. No single way seems perfect for fighting cancers. This research study combines two different ways of fighting disease, antibodies and T cells, that investigators hope will work together. Antibodies are types of proteins that protect the body from bacterial and other diseases. T cells, also called T lymphocytes, are special infection-fighting blood cells that can kill other cells, including tumor cells. Both antibodies and T cells have been used to treat patients with cancers; they have shown promise, but have not been strong enough to cure most patients. The antibody used in this study recognizes a protein on the lymphoma, MM or CLL cells called kappa immunoglobulin. Antibodies can stick to lymphoma, MM or CLL cells when it recognizes the kappa molecules present on the tumor cells. For this study, the kappa antibody has been changed so that instead of floating free in the blood it is now joined to the T cells. When an antibody is joined to a T cell in this way it is called a chimeric receptor. These chimeric receptor-T cells seem to kill some of the tumor, but they don't last very long and so their chances of fighting the cancer are limited. In the laboratory, investigators found that T cells work better if they also add a protein that stimulates T cells to grow called CD28. By joining the anti-kappa antibody to the T cells and adding the CD28, the investigators expect to be able to make cells that will last for a longer time in the body (because of the presence of the CD28). They are hoping this will make the cells work better. Previously, when patients enrolled on this study, they were assigned to one of three different doses of the kappa-CD28 T cells. We found that all three dose levels are safe. Now, the plan is to give patients the highest dose that we tested. These chimeric T cells (kappa-CD28) are an investigational product not approved by the FDA. Read Less
