The goal of the proposed study is to understand the reasons for the variability in aerobic exercise (AE) training benefits on the vasculature in middle-age and older (MA/O) adults, including differences between men and women. To achieve this goal, a mechanistic randomized controlled (RCT) will be conducted, in which adults are randomized to 12-weeks intervention of AE or no-exercise Control. Our overall hypothesis is that the exercise response variation in vascular benefits is related to age and sex differences in the biological changes underlying vascular aging and/or the molecular transducers (i.e., circulating molecules) that communicate and coordinate the effects of AE on the vasculature in the periphery and brain. Because this is a mechanistic trial, the overall goal is not a single health-related outcome. Rather, the goal is to advance our understanding of the molecular signals and pathways underlying the systemic and local effects of AE on vascular health that may explain the variability in AE responses with age and sex. This knowledge will allow for the development of personalized age- and sex-specific AE recommendations, and/or provide insights into molecular targets that can be manipulated to enhance and/or mimic exercise in non-responders or in persons unable to exercise.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a soccer program focused on mental health positively impacts mental health in Karenni refugee young boys and men. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does mental health education provided during a sports program improve mental health coping for Karenni refugee young boys and men? Does participation in a sports-program improve social connection for Karenni refugee young boys and men? Researchers will compare those receiving mental health education to a comparison group to see if mental health education improves mental health coping skills. Participants will: Participate weekly soccer practices for 6 months Receive mental health education or comparison activities Answer questions about their health, such as their coping skills, social connection, and physical activity Read Less

In this project, the investigators would like to learn if 24 weeks (about 5 and a half months) of omalizumab injections, given every 2 weeks, will be safe and effective for food allergic people who have a total immunoglobulin E (IgE) above the current FDA approved dosing regimen enabling a person to increase tolerance to the food(s) that the person is allergic to. The investigators would also like to learn if participants who demonstrate increased tolerance to food after 24 weeks of omalizumab, can introduce the food into the diet utilizing an additional 8 weeks (about 2 months) of twice weekly omalizumab injections.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a single dose of the study drug, JST-010, is safe and tolerable when administered by injection into the arm or thigh muscle of healthy men and women aged 18 to 55. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is a single injection of JST-010 safe? * What is the concentration of the JST-01 in the blood over time? * Do antibodies to JST-010 develop following a dose of JST-010? Researchers will compare JST-010 to Placebo to see if there are any differences in the safety and tolerability of a single dose at different dose levels. Participants will be confined to the clinic for the first 3 days. They will receive an injection on the second day, and then return for 9 more visits over the period of 1 year for: * Physical exam with vital signs * Electro-cardiogram (ECG) * Bood collection for clinical labs and research samples * Urine sample * Assessment of potential adverse effects and medications taken Read Less

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare casts with cast art versus those without art in children who sustain a fracture of the extremity. The main goals are: * Determine the difference in satisfaction as measured by the visual analog scale for satisfaction between patients treated in a cast with cast customization versus those in a cast with no cast art * Determine the difference in perceived pain scores between patients treated in a cast with cast customization versus those in a case with no cast art Participants will be randomized to one of three groups: one with plain white cast, one with cast of color wrap of choice, and one with custom cast art. Researchers will compare to see the differences in satisfaction and perception of pain based on what cast the study participant receives. Read Less

The clinical and demographic characteristics of patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) pose unique challenges for coronary computed tomography (CT) imaging, as this patient population is mainly composed of elderly, frail individuals with severe aortic stenosis, multiple comorbidities, high prevalence of heavily calcified coronary artery disease (CAD) and revascularized coronary arteries. Such vulnerable patients could benefit from a more precise assessment and characterization of their CAD with ultra-high resolution (UHR) photon-counting detector (PCD) CT that would potentially avoid the need for pre-implantation invasive coronary angiography (ICA). This international multicenter prospective registry study aims to investigate the feasibility and diagnostic accuracy of PCD-CT in the assessment of CAD in the high-risk population of patients undergoing TAVI, as compared to ICA.
