The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the role of autophagy on microvascular function in adults with Type 2 Diabetes. The main question it aims to answer are: * Does presence of Type 2 Diabetes reduce autophagy and impair microvascular function? * Does exposure to high glucose impair autophagy and subsequently microvascular function? Participants will undergo 2 study days. The primary outcome will be in vivo microvascular function testing. Following the first study day participants will undergo either supplementation with trehalose, an autophagy activator, or placebo for 14 days. The second study day will test in vivo microvascular function. Read Less

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about how a combination of tazemetostat and venetoclax in people with relapsed/refractory Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (R/R NHL). The main questions that this trial aims to answer are what is the best dose of venetoclax to give with tazemetostat to people with R/R NHL; what types of side effects do people with R/R NHL get when taking venetoclax with tazemetostat; and what effects does this combination have on R/R NHL. Participants will need to take pills by mouth every day and regularly come to the clinic for blood work and imagining to monitor side effects and cancer progression. Participants may receive study drugs for up to 24 months. Read Less

The concept is a novel research idea that incorporates the potential impact of patient quality of life (QOL) on decision-making for treatment of mild obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Our hypothesis is that in children with mild OSA there is significant conflict with parental decision-making; in the absence of significant sleep apnea, there is limited research regarding comparative efficacy of various treatment options. The impact of a QOL questionnaire can be a significant deciding factor and may help guide management decisions in such situations. Read Less

The muscles of stroke survivors can fatigue faster compared to muscles in people who have not had a stroke, which can limit how long a person with stroke can perform tasks such as walking. This study will examine how blood flow is regulated to the exercising leg muscle post-stroke, because if the muscle does not receive enough blood flow it will become fatigued. Finally, the investigators will use a safe and simple non-invasive intervention called ischemic conditioning, which has known effects to improve blood flow to exercising muscle and determine the effects on muscle fatigue.

The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to evaluate whether a positive psychology intervention (PATH-C) can improve psychological well-being, quality of life, and physical activity in caregivers of patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Read Less

The goal of this clinical trial is to test an app-based just-in-time-adaptive intervention (JITAI). The intervention aims to improve child and family mental health. A JITAI provides in-the-moment feedback to coach families. The questions it tests are if the app will improve mental health and family functioning. Participants will download an app on their phone and complete JITAI sessions. Researchers will compare intervention and control groups to see if the app improves mental health. Read Less

Persistent developmental stuttering affects more than three million people in the United States, and it can have profound adverse effects on quality of life. Despite its prevalence and negative impact, stuttering has resisted explanation and effective treatment, due in large part to a poor understanding of the neural processing impairments underlying the disorder. The overall goal of this study is to improve understanding of the brain mechanisms involved in speech motor planning and how these are disrupted in neurogenic speech disorders, like stuttering. The investigators will do this through an integrated combination of experiments that involve speech production, functional MRI, and non-invasive brain stimulation. The study is designed to test hypotheses regarding the brain processes involved in learning and initiating new speech sound sequences and how those processes compare in persons with persistent developmental stuttering and those with typical speech development. These processes will be studied in both adults and children. Additionally, these processes will be investigated in patients with neurodegenerative speech disorders (primary progressive aphasia) to further inform the investigators understanding of the neural mechanisms that support speech motor sequence learning. Together these experiments will result in an improved account of the brain mechanisms underlying speech production in fluent speakers and individuals who stutter, thereby paving the way for the development of new therapies and technologies for addressing this disorder.

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine how changes in exercise and psychosocial stress may influence the risk of menstrual cycle irregularities in female runners and cyclists. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does the implementation of exercise or psychosocial stress effect circulating reproductive hormones (i.e., estradiol, progesterone, luteinizing hormone) and menstrual cycle length? * Is there an additive effect of combined exercise and psychosocial on circulating reproductive hormones (i.e., estradiol, progesterone, luteinizing hormone) and menstrual cycle length? Participants will be asked to do the following over the \~3 month enrollment period: * attend a laboratory visit at the beginning and end of the study to have their resting metabolic rate, aerobic fitness, and body composition tested * monitor their menstrual cycle length, daily perceived stress levels, physical activity, and diet each month * provide several urine and saliva samples each month * either maintain their usual physical activity and lifestyle habits (control group), increase the duration of their weekly running or cycling mileage by 30% (exercise stress group), complete cognitive function tasks designed to be stressful (psychosocial stress group), or increase the duration of their weekly running or cycling mileage by 30% and complete cognitive function tasks designed to be stressful (exercise + psychosocial stress group) during the final month of enrollment. Researchers will compare control, exercise stress, psychosocial stress, and exercise + psychosocial stress groups to see if there is an effect on circulating reproductive hormones (i.e., estradiol, progesterone, luteinizing hormone) and menstrual cycle length.

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the usability, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a digital dietary self-monitoring (dDSM) log that uses positive reinforcement strategies (caregiver praise and gamification) to improve child engagement in DSM. The main aims are to: * Examine the usability of a dDSM log that uses positive reinforcement (praise and gamification) among children 8-12 years and their adult caregivers. * Examine the acceptability of a dDSM log that uses positive reinforcement (praise and gamification) among children 8-12 years and their adult caregivers * Conduct a proof-of-concept trial that examines the effects of positive reinforcement on child DSM behaviors. * Explore differences in children's intrinsic motivation. Participating children will be instructed to self-monitor their daily intake of targeted food groups (fruits, vegetables, sweet and salty snack foods, and sugar-sweetened beverages) for 4 weeks using a personal web-based DSM log. Each child-caregiver dyad will be randomly assigned to 1 of 4 conditions: BASIC, PRAISE, GAME, or PRAISE+GAME. For PRAISE and PRAISE+GAME conditions, caregivers will be instructed to provide daily process praise to their child related to DSM behaviors. For GAME and PRAISE+GAME conditions, logs will integrate three game mechanics: points, levels, and a virtual pet. Points will be accumulated for engaging in DSM behaviors, and accrual of points will evolve a virtual pet over time. Read Less

An observational study will be conducted in approximately 14 participants to evaluate the ability of a wearable, wireless acoustic Respiratory Monitoring System (RMS) to accurately measure a participant's respiratory rate, tidal volume, minute ventilation, and duration of apnea in a noisy environment. Sensor accuracy will be measured with adaptive filtering and active noise cancellation turned on versus turned off. Read Less

This study seeks to develop and test an internet video series aimed at helping individuals reduce cigarette smoking. Participants (daily smokers) will be asked to watch a series of six videos (approximately 6.5 minutes each) which cover various empirically-supported smoking cessation strategies and tools. Examples of strategies included in the videos include noticing smoking cues and consequences and relaxation training. Participants' demographic information, motivation to change, reactions to the video series alliance with video therapist, and confidence in avoiding smoking will all be measured. Additionally, participants will be asked to report their smoking behavior at study baseline and follow-up. Read Less
