This study is for adult men with previously untreated prostate cancer. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the combination of two emerging treatment techniques (hypofractionated radiotherapy with microboost technique). Participation will include standard of care visits along with questionnaires and blood draws completed for research purposes. There is optional banking of blood and prostate biopsy tissue which will not require extra biopsies. Participation in this study is anticipated to last approximately 6 weeks with follow up every three months for two years then twice yearly for years 3-5.

This study is recruiting non-metastatic breast cancer survivors who were diagnosed between ages 18 and 51 and are currently 6 months to 5 years post-treatment. Eligible participants must have a score of 5–14 on the PHQ-8 depression screening tool. This study is testing a digital mindfulness meditation-based program. "Investigational" means it has not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Participants will be randomly assigned (like drawing one number out of three at random) to one of three groups: (1) live online mindfulness classes over Zoom, (2) a specially designed mindfulness app, or (3) guided audio meditations. The primary purpose of this study is to determine if different ways of delivering digital mindfulness training can improve mental health and well-being in younger breast cancer survivors. The program is delivered either by live online sessions, through a mobile app, or by listening to guided meditation recordings. Participants can expect to be in this study for about 9 months, including a 6-week training program and questionnaires before, during, and after training. Participants will be enrolled for a duration of 9 months, and a total of 15 patients will be recruited locally over the course of 36 months.

We wish to examine human liver to determine whether and to what extent paxillin is expressed (using immunohistochemistry). Existing liver specimens will be identified by ICD-10 search to identify patients with MASLD who have undergone liver biopsy within the last 5 years.

This cross-sectional study aims to examine the impact of visual cues on listeners' perception of speaker age. Eligible speaking participants include adult males and females between the ages of 18–90 years old without voice or hearing disorders. Eligibility will be determined by research coordinators via patient demographic forms and validated voice and hearing assessments. Speaking participants will have two audio recordings taken: (1) sustained vowel sound and (2) reading of the Consensus Auditory-Perceptual Evaluation of Voice (CAPE-V), a standardized tool employed to evaluate the perceptual characteristics of voice quality across a wide age range. To develop the materials for the listening participants, CAPE-V audio recordings obtained from the speaking participants will be systematically paired with race and age-matched photographs obtained from a publicly available database. The finalized materials will encompass three experimental conditions: (1) audio only, (2) audio presented with a standardized photograph of an individual matched to the speaker's gender and age, and (3) audio presented with a standardized photograph of an individual matched for gender but differing in age. Naïve listening participants, blinded to the experimental conditions, will then be presented with these materials in a randomized order and asked to estimate the perceived ages of the speakers. Additionally, basic acoustic analyses of each sustained vowel sound recording (e.g., jitter, shimmer) will be conducted by a trained professional using the speech analysis software PRAAT.

This study is for subjects who have been diagnosed with recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal cancer. Subjects are expected to remain in the study for a minimum of 70 months. Drugs are FDA approved and is given through a vein (also called IV or intravenous). The procedures include blood and urine tests, troponin test. Risks include infection, bruising, bleeding, anemia, kidney damage, hearing loss, nausea, vomiting, numbness, pain, rash, blood in urine. You may not receive a benefit from participating in this trial, however, information learned from the trial may help other people in the future.

We will develop a prototype of a decisional aid, integrating peer-reviewed information and preliminary data already collected from peripartum women and providers. Postpartum women who used cannabis before pregnancy will be recruited to interact with the tool and provide feedback. We will conduct qualitative data collection via semi-structured interviews soliciting feedback on the prototype to be used to improve the decisional tool.

The purpose of this phase III study is to assess the safety and efficacy of the SL-1002 injectable formulation, compared to placebo, for the treatment of knee pain associated with osteoarthritis, which is not currently approved by the FDA. This study will last approximately 26 weeks, which includes a screening period that includes 1 or 2 visits. Eligible subjects will undergo a 1:1 randomization with the SL 1002 formula or normal saline used as a placebo. After the screening visits and the study drug treatment visit (Day 1), the subject will be required to return to the study site for 5 additional study visits at approximately 1,2,3,4, and 6 months after the study drug treatment (Day 1). These visits will include physical examinations, knee assessments, patient questionnaires, and the collection of vital signs, and blood and urine samples. This study also requires daily electronic data entries from Day 1 to the end of the study.

This study is designed to assess the 10-year post-surgery implant survivorship of Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) procedures performed using the LEGION Medial stabilized insert, which is FDA approved. Implant survivorship is defined as all of the knee-implanted components without a need for a revision. Questionnaires will be used up to 10 years after surgery to find more about the safety and performance of the device.

The purpose of this research is to explore the effects of participation in a pickleball community-based exercise program on function in people with Parkinson's disease (PwPD). Individuals will engage in an 8-week instructional pickleball exercise program designed specifically by Movement Disorder Specialists at the Medical University of South Carolina for PwPD. The pickleball training program involves warm-up exercises, stroke mechanics, fall safety and recovery technique training, effective movement pattern drills, game play strategies, and match play. We aim to quantify the motor function, balance, mobility, and quality of life outcomes through clinical assessments and questionnaires before and after participation in the Pick it Up Pickleball training program. This research will establish an evidence base for pickleball as a therapeutic intervention, opening the door for additional accessible and engaging exercise options for the PD community.

The purpose of this study to help us understand if adding transcranial Direct Current
Stimulation (tDCS), a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, to Speech Therapy
improves language recovery in people with Broca's aphasia and is more effective than Speech Therapy alone.
