This study will evaluate the effects of combining motor learning-based therapy with use of the MyoPro , a wearable exoskeletal myoelectrically controlled orthotic device. MyoPro uses electromyographic (EMG) signals from the weak muscles to assist movement of the user's affected arm. The primary objective of this randomized controlled trial is to study the efficacy of using MyoPro in motor learning-based therapy for individuals with chronic stroke (\>6 months post) with severe upper limb motor deficits (Fugl-Meyer for Upper Limb score less than 30) compared with a similar dose of motor learning-based therapy alone. The secondary objectives are to evaluate neuroplasticity mechanisms, identify biomarkers of greater response to the intervention, and explore cost-effectiveness. Read Less

The reason for this research study is to better understand the use of liraglutide, a commonly prescribed Type 2 diabetes medication, in patients with a diagnosis of maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY). The investigators are interested in better understanding the way that this drug affects the metabolism and hormone levels of a person with MODY. Many people with MODY report having gastrointestinal (GI) issues such as an upset stomach. Investigators also interested in finding out if this drug will help with GI issues. If liraglutide does help with this symptom of MODY, the investigators want to know why this happens. If this drug is effective for participants, the investigators will use participants cells to make human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC). This means that the investigators will use participant cells to create what are called stem cells, which are cells in the body that are able to be told what their job is. Investigators will use these cells to see what happens in gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Read Less

This phase Ib trial seeks to find out the best dose and possible side effects and/or benefits of zanubrutinib in combination with the R-PolaCHP in treating patients with newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Zanubrutinib is designed to block a protein called Bruton Tyrosine Kinase in order to stop cancer growth. R-CHOP is the acronym for the combination of five drugs: rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone. It is the most widely used chemoimmunotherapy regimen for DLBCL and is considered the standard-of-care treatment for patients with DLBCL. Three of the drugs in R-CHOP (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin and vincristine) are chemotherapy drugs. Rituximab is a type of immunotherapy and prednisone is a type of steroids. Read Less

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the combination of drugs Inotuzumab Ozogamicin, Venetoclax, and Dexamethasone (IoVeX) are safe to treat relapsed B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL) in pediatric and adult patients. It will also learn if these drugs are well tolerated. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is the drug combination of Inotuzumab Ozogamicin, Venetoclax, and Dexamethasone (IoVeX) safe when given to patients? What medical problems do patients taking IoVeX experience? Participants will: Receive this combination of drugs for 1 cycle which is 28 days at various timepoints. If participants tolerate cycle 1 they will be eligible to continue to cycle 2 which is also 28 days. Have checkups and tests at the beginning of the study and throughout the course of each cycle.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if an intervention to provide food support to families who are part of government or self-pay insurances will provide benefits. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Determine the effect of implementing an in-hospital food support intervention for low-income parents on reutilization and family-centered outcomes. * Among families with baseline food insecurity, determine the effectiveness of a post-discharge food support intervention and as-needed social work referral on reutilization and family-centered outcomes. Researchers will compare the in-hospital food support intervention and will be rolled out to sequential hospital units. In addition, the post-discharge food support intervention will be compared to standard discharge. Some participants will: * Receive in-hospital meal cards or standard care during hospitalization * Receive post-discharge food support intervention or standard discharge * Complete a 14-day post discharge follow-up survey Read Less

The purpose of this study is to determine the validity of the Neural Sleeve gait metrics compared to gait parameters assessed with a Protokinetics Zeno pressure sensitive walkway. The spatiotemporal gait parameters obtained from the Zeno walkway have been rigorously validated and will represent the "gold standard" ground truth measurements in the proposed protocol. Confirming the validity of the Neural Sleeve metrics offers benefit to individuals who utilize the device by providing confidence that calculated gait reports are accurate and can be used to inform usage of the device and associated gait changes over time. Findings of innaccuracy would still offer benefit in the form of knowing that the Neural Sleeve metrics need to be used with caution and/or updated to provide correct outcomes to users. Read Less

This is a cross-sectional study in patients with Type 1 diabetes (TID) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) to test if time in range (TIR) affects the degree of hyperglycemia required for monocyte activation, podocyte injury, and assess if monocyte activation is attenuated by glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1) agonist treatment ex vivo.

The purpose of this study is to identify novel gene mutations which have contributed to significant personal and family history of cancer. Adults with and without cancer will be accrued to the study. Participants qualify to take part in this research study because someone in their family has been diagnosed with or because they themselves have a cancer diagnosis. Participants' DNA and other clinical information will be obtained from a blood sample in order to study the genetic basis of cancer and related complications. All portions in the DNA that code for proteins (i.e., the exome) will be studied. Participant DNA sample and information about family structure and family medical history and ethnic origin may also be collected to better understand this information. Clinical information will be stored and biological samples, including DNA, will be kept for up to three (3) years after collection for future. Ultimately, once identified, the role of the specific genetics changes in the development of inherited cancer(s) will be characterized. Read Less

This is a pilot project designed to test the feasibility of implementing a community health worker (CHW)-led intervention to improve nutritious food access and consumption among pregnant people and to evaluate the effectiveness of this approach. The project will be conducted in partnership with the Greater Cleveland Food Bank and the Better Health Partnership Community Health Worker HUB Read Less

The purpose of this study is to discover the potential convenience and ease of using a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technique, named Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting (or MRF), to achieve high-quality images within a short scan time of 5 min for viewing the entire brain. This is an advanced quantitative assessment of brain tissues. This method is being applied with IVIM MRI to be able to tell the difference between a brain with radiation necrosis and a brain with tumor recurrence. Participants will consist of individuals who have received radiation therapy in the past and were diagnosed with radiation necrosis, individuals with recurrent tumors, individuals with previously untreated tumors, and healthy individuals who have no brain diseases and have not had radiation treatment to the brain. Participants will undergo an MRI scan at a one-time research study visit; no extra tests or procedures will be required for this research study. The primary objectives of this study are: * To demonstrate the clinical feasibility of combining MRF with state-of-the-art parallel imaging techniques to achieve high-resolution quantitative imaging within a reasonable scan time of 5 min for whole brain coverage. * To apply the developed quantitative approach in combination with IVIM MRI for differentiation of tumor recurrence and radiation necrosis. * To investigate the effect of radiation dose on the development of radiation necrosis and tumor recurrence.
