This research study is being done to compare a mindfulness-based intervention for tics (MBIT) to psychoeducation with relaxation and supportive therapy (PRST) for individuals with Tourette's syndrome or Persistent Tic Disorders (collectively TS). It is the investigator's hope that this information cam be used to improve current treatments for individuals with TS. Read Less

The investigators are interested in learning more about how the role of mothers' emotions has on the transmission of suicide risk to children. Eligible participants will be invited to participate in a baseline assessment, and 4 follow-up assessments in the next year. This research study is a randomized control trial. Participants that choose to enroll are randomly assigned, that is by chance (like by flipping a coin) to receive DBT Skills Training or treatment as usual (TAU). Participants may also be selected for DBT skills training, it which would occur once a week for 6 months. Read Less

The primary objectives of this trial are to: * Characterize the safety and tolerability of TEV-56278 * Determine the Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) * Evaluate antitumor activity of TEV-56278 * Determine the safety and tolerability of TEV-56278 in combination with pembrolizumab * Determine a RP2D of TEV-56278 in combination with pembrolizumab The secondary objectives of this trial are to: * Characterize the serum pharmacokinetics of TEV-56278 * Evaluate the antitumor activity of TEV-56278 * Determine the safety and tolerability of TEV-56278 * Evaluate other measures of antitumor activity of TEV-56278 * Evaluate anti-tumor activity Participants will be treated up to 12 months with a follow-up period of up to 12 months after last infusion. The total duration of the trial will be up to 25 months for individual participants. Read Less

This study will test the immediate and long term (post 4 weeks of daily practice) effectiveness of two breathwork practices, cyclic sighing and box breathing, in comparison to hypnosis and an audiobook about stress, on psychological and physiological variables. Read Less

The Well-COM Research Project addresses a critical gap in our understanding of the holistic health of medical students, over the entirety of the medical school experience. While the rigorous demands of medical education and its effects on the well-being of medical students are well-documented, there is a lack of long-term study assessing the mental, physical, and metabolic health of medical students from entry into medical school through their training and into residency. By collecting holistic health data from new first-year medical students, and over a minimum period of 10 years, the Well-COM project aims to provide invaluable insights into the changes in health and wellness experienced by medical students, thereby informing future interventions and support systems to promote overall health and resilience in medical school students.

This trial will evaluate the impact of a multicomponent program (TBI Rehabilitation and Activation in Veterans; TRAIN-Vets) on improving cognitive function over an 8-month trial period in older Veterans with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Older Veterans with a history of TBI and subjective cognitive complaints will be enrolled and randomly assign to either the TRAIN-Vets intervention (consisting of aquatic-based exercise training, cognitive training, and lifestyle coaching) or the Health Education Control, where they will receive educational materials about brain health and healthy lifestyles.

This research will compare the effectiveness of a remotely delivered personalized exercise coaching plus an evidence-based sleep improvement intervention to remotely delivered personalized exercise coaching alone for knee osteoarthritis pain. The study team hypothesize that the combined intervention will result in greater improvements in patient-reported pain intensity, recorded with real-time data capture, than remotely delivered exercise coaching alone.

The goal of this study is to observe the impact of suvorexant, sold as BELSOMRA, on brain activity of people who frequently use cannabis. Suvorexant is an FDA-approved medication to treat insomnia. Researchers think that suvorexant may reduce activity in certain parts of the brain associated with cannabis use. Researchers are studying if this medication does affect brain activity in these areas. For this study, participants will be asked to complete four study visits over approximately 14 days. Each study visit will include interviews, questionnaires, and collection of biological samples for laboratory testing. All participants will be asked to take suvorexant, an FDA approved medication for treatment of insomnia, for 14 days. They will complete two one-hour functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) scans: one before starting the study medication and one after 14 days of taking the study medication. MRI is used in typical medical settings and is considered to be safe. Participants will also be asked to complete a short daily survey for approximately 14 days. Read Less

This phase II trial studies how well hypofractionated radiotherapy before (preoperative) or after (postoperative) breast surgery works in treating patients with different types of non-metastatic (has not spread from original tumor site) breast cancer and to determine the outcomes and side effects of this treatment. Radiation therapy is considered an integral part of breast conserving therapy. Hypofractionated radiation therapy is a radiation treatment in which the total dose of radiation is divided into large doses and treatments are given less than once a day. This has been shown to be an effective treatment for breast cancer while reducing treatment time and decreasing side effects. Preoperative radiotherapy alone or concurrently with chemotherapy has also been tested with excellent results and with minimal toxicity. Preoperative radiation of the intact tumor with a hypofractionated regimen can potentially decrease toxicity by allowing the delivery of treatment to intact breast tissue. The potential advantages of preoperative radiation therapy include the delivery of radiation in the intact breast when radiation can be more effective as more oxygen can be available in the tissue. Furthermore, complications and cosmetic results are expected to be lower in pre-operative radiotherapy before surgery, as there have been no changes in blood supply to the breast. This lends to the possibility of using lower doses of radiotherapy to patients, and potentially better cancer associated clinical outcomes for our breast cancer patients. Undergoing hypofractionated radiation therapy before or after breast surgery may be safe and effective in treating patients with different types of non-metastatic breast cancer. Read Less

This study will study pain relief after spine injections that are used to guide care. Some improvements in pain from a procedure might be from placebo effect rather than the physiological effect of the procedure. The study will use naloxone to reverse the effect of the body's internal placebo system after a spine injection, so the placebo effect and the injection effect can be measured separately. This process may improve the understanding of spine injections and their ability to guide pain care. Read Less
