This study compares two common laser treatments used to lower eye pressure in participants with glaucoma or high eye pressure. Both procedures, Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) and Direct Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (DSLT), are established standard-of-care medical treatments. Participants are randomly assigned by a computer to receive one of these two lasers to compare efficacy and safety. To maintain clinical consistency, both eyes of each participant receive the same assigned laser treatment during a single visit. There are no additional research-only appointments required beyond standard clinical care. The study team reviews medical records from the participants' standard 3, 6, and 12-month clinical follow-up visits. This research aims to help clinicians understand which treatment is more effective or efficient for future use. Participation is entirely voluntary and does not impact the quality of medical care provided at the institution.

This study will examine the factors that contribute to changes in swallowing as people age. Over the next ten years, researchers will follow healthy adults (age 18 and older) to see if swallowing becomes more difficult with age. They will also look at whether changes in the brain, thinking skills, and body chemistry are connected to swallowing problems. The information from this study may help doctors find ways to address problems such as choking or aspiration pneumonia in older adults.

Participants can change their mind and stop participating at any time, for any reason. Leaving the study will not affect any benefits or care they are entitled to.

Millions of children are victims of maltreatment each year in the United States. Research on home visiting programs show that child maltreatment can be prevented; however, these programs struggle to reach families in need and provide high quality care. SafeCare is a sustainable and effective home visiting child maltreatment prevention program, serving over 8,000 families each year. This study will examine the feasibility and implementation of a hybrid in-person/virtual delivery model for SafeCare with 12 home visiting providers and 40 caregivers to inform how home visiting programs are delivered to maximize reach to families, improve family outcomes, and decrease harm to children.

Heart disease can be detected in the hospital by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR)- a device that uses a large magnet. CMR is used to test how healthy the heart muscle is and how well the heart is pumping. We will test a new method to see how helpful it is to quickly get good pictures and if this is useful for testing the health of heart muscle in patients with heart disease.
