The primary objective of this study is to assess the feasibility of administering the Personalized Single-Category Implicit Association Test (PSC-IAT) to young adult survivors of childhood cancer. Participants will perform a total of three trials of a cognitive task before and after their scheduled SJLIFE cardiovascular stress testing. Participants will then be asked to participate in a qualitative interview about the cognitive task tool and body sensations and emotions experienced during exercise. Read Less

This study is about home air radon testing and has two phases. The goal of the first phase is to learn about renters' and homeowners' views and plans related to radon testing. The main question this phase aims to answer is: 1. Does taking part in a focus group with information about radon testing change people's plans to test for radon? Participants in the first study phase will: * Take a survey about their views on and plans for radon testing. * Take part in a focus group discussion about radon testing, during which they will receive information about radon testing. * Right after the focus group, take a survey about their plans for radon testing. The second phase is a pilot interventional study. The goal is to test interventions about radon testing with renters and homeowners who smoke and do not smoke. The main questions this phase aims to answer are: 1. Does the recruitment strategy result in enough participants enrolling within 3 months? 2. Will at least 80% of participants complete data collection activities? 3. Will more participants who view an online intervention developed by the researchers request free radon test kits, set them up in their homes, and complete radon testing, compared to participants who view a standard public health infographic? And will even more participants who receive reminder messages, in addition to the online intervention, request free radon test kits, set them up in their homes, and complete radon testing? Participants in this second phase will: * Take a survey about their views on and plans for radon testing. * View an intervention about radon testing. * Right after viewing the intervention, take a survey about their views on and plans for radon testing. * 2 months later, take a survey about what, if any, steps they've taken to test their homes for radon. * Provide the researchers permission to collect data from their State Radon Program on: a) whether they requested a free radon test kit and b) whether testing was completed. Some participants will receive reminder messages for 2 months after viewing the intervention. Researchers will compare an online intervention they developed about radon testing to: a) a standard public health infographic and b) their online intervention combined with reminder messages about radon testing. They will compare the interventions by proportion of participants who: a) request a free radon test kit from their State Radon Programs, b) set-up the radon test kit in their homes, and c) complete radon testing.

This Registry is a sponsor-initiated, multi-center, observational, post-approval registry with an independent academic oversight. TransMedics has contracted with United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) the Federal manager of the U.S. national transplant outcomes registry to obtain data that is routinely collected by the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) on all transplanted organs in the U.S. for both the OCS liver transplanted patients as well as patients transplanted using other preservation modalities. Additional data will be collected by participating centers using OCS Liver perfusion. Read Less

The goal of this study is to evaluate a culturally grounded training curriculum, First Face for Mental Health, in Tribal communities, using a waitlist controlled trial design. This curriculum will train Tribal community members in how to respond to youth and adults experiencing mental health crises and serve as a bridge between these individuals and the help they need. The main questions the study aims to answer are: * Does the training increase mental health knowledge, capacity and ability to respond to mental health situations, perceived competence to respond, and actual responsive actions among trainees? * Does the training decrease mental health stigmatizing attitudes and increase cultural identity among trainees? Participants will complete surveys before and after completing the First Face training, across five time points over the course of two years. Half of the participants will receive the training initially, and half will receive it six months later. Researchers will compare the two groups to examine whether the trainees demonstrate changes in the outcomes of interest compared to the waitlist control group during the first six months, and whether both groups demonstrate sustained changes after the first six months (i.e., once both groups have received training).

The goal of this interventional study is to evaluate the efficacy of APG-157 in combination with Bevacizumab in subjects with recurrent high-grade glioma. The main questions the study aims to answer are: * Progression-free and overall survival of patients receiving this combination; * Quality of Life (QOL); and * Tumor response on imaging The participants will take APG-157 daily by dissolving two pastilles in their mouth at around breakfast, lunch and dinner time (total of six pastilles per day). The pastilles dissolve in the mouth. The participants will continue to receive Bevacizumab as standard of care. Read Less

This study will examine the coagulation and fibrinolysis profiles of those with autoimmune skin diseases. Blood samples will be collected from participants with active/poorly controlled immune-mediated skin diseases and mild/latent/well-controlled immune-mediated skin diseases. A one-time sample from 15 general dermatology outpatients who do not have a known or suspected diagnosis of bullous diseases, immune-mediated dermatologic condition, or cutaneous malignancy will also be collected to serve as control. Blood samples from both participant populations will be analyzed for coagulation and inflammatory markers and compared. The results of this study may help inform future studies on the utility of analyzing coagulation and fibrinolysis profiles of patients with autoimmune skin diseases. Read Less

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate if a supplement called palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) is effective in reducing the pain in patients with chronic inflammatory pain conditions. The main question the trial aims to answer is if PEA works better at treating a patients pain and improving their function better than a placebo. Participants will be divided into two equal groups and asked to take either PEA or a placebo for 8 weeks. Read Less

Chronic pain and heavy drinking are common co-occurring conditions among patients presenting to primary care settings. Given their impact on functioning and medical outcomes, there would be considerable benefit to developing an accessible, easily utilized, integrative approach to reduce alcohol use and pain that can be readily incorporated into the health care settings. The objective of this study is to test a modified version of a smartphone-based intervention for reducing pain and alcohol use among individuals experiencing chronic pain who engage in heavy drinking. The primary goal is to test the feasibility and acceptability of implementing this intervention in a sample that includes participants from rural areas and providing initial data on the utility of the intervention.

Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) has shown remarkable efficacy in restoring motor function in people with spinal cord injury by recruiting afferent input to enhance the responsiveness of spared neural circuits to residual cortical inputs. This pilot will test if SCS can show evidence to improve motor deficits in people with Type 2, 3, or 4 spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). The investigators will enroll up to six subjects with Type 2, 3, or 4 SMA aged 16 or older that show quantifiable motor deficits of the upper body. The investigators will then implant the subjects with percutaneous, linear spinal leads near the cervical spinal cord for a period of up to 29 days. Although these leads are not optimized for motor function but rather for their clinically approved indication of treating pain, the investigators believe they provide a safe technology enabling our team to perform scientific measurement necessary to evaluate potential for effects of SCS in motor paralysis with SMA. After the end of the study, the leads will be explanted. Read Less
