The purpose of this research study is to find out if AMDS is safe and effective in the treatment of acute dissection (sudden tear). For patients whose aortic anatomy is suitable for treatment with AMDS, the use of this device may promote healing of the aortic walls and possibly reduce the need for additional aortic surgeries. If conventional surgery, in combination with AMDS, is effective, it is believed that this could lead to improved aortic healing; an improvement in healing could reduce the risk of hospitalization and reoperation in the chest compared to conventional surgery alone.
The purpose of this study is to assess the dose dependent safety, tolerability and potential efficacy of QRX003 lotion in subjects with Netherton Syndrome (NS). This is a multi-center, randomized, vehicle-controlled, double-blind, parallel group comparison study of QRX003 lotion in adult subjects 18 years of age or older with NS. Approximately 18 subjects will be enrolled at approximately 7 sites. Subjects will be randomized (1:1:1) to treatment as follows:
1. QRX003 (dipalmitoyl hydroxyproline) lotion, 2% (Low dose)
2. QRX003 (dipalmitoyl hydroxyproline) lotion, 4% (High dose)
3. Vehicle lotion
Subjects will apply the assigned test article once daily in the morning to a designated Treatment Area for 12 weeks. Subjects will attend 5 clinic visits for up to 20 weeks.
Ritlecitinib (PF 06651600) is an investigational drug (referred to as "study drug" from here on) and is being developed as possible study treatment for participants with non segmental vitiligo (both active and stable vitiligo). The study drug will be compared with a placebo to find out if the study drug is better than the placebo for the study treatment of vitiligo. The duration of this study is a maximum of 60 weeks. There will be an initial screening period of 30 days where the study doctor will determine eligibility. If eligible, participants will be randomly assigned to receive the study drug or a placebo during a 52 week study treatment period. At the end of the treatment period, participants will enter a 4 week Follow Up Period.
1) You will be asked to provide a blood sample; up to two tubes for a total of up to 10mL (less than 2 teaspoons).
2) Samples will be processed and tested on the MeMed BV device.
3) You will be asked about your medical history, medications, and current illness, as well as demographic information (i.e. date of birth) and a contact phone number.
4) If eligible, it will be decided by chance, using a computer, if you will be put into one of two arms: the MeMed BV arm or the control arm. You have an equal chance of being placed in each group. You cannot choose your study group.
a. The MeMed BV arm: your clinician will receive the BV result, this will include a recommendation regarding antibiotic treatment
b. The control arm: your clinician will not receive the MeMed BV results and will treat you according to standard of care.
5) You will be contacted by a member of the study team at 28 (+/- 3) days after the day of consent to complete a short questionnaire regarding your current illness

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that the continuous use of negative pressure dressings for up to 14 days has similar benefits and risks to the continuous use for up to 7 days. The 3M study product being used in this study includes the PREVENA Plus Incision Management System with PREVENA Dressings (Peel & Place, Customizable and ARTHRO●FORM). The study product is considered investigational because it has not been approved by the FDA for continuous use for up to 14 days. It is currently approved for use for up to 7 days.
Alcohol misuse is a risk factor for early onset cognitive impairment, contributing to 10% of early onset dementia, with risk corresponding to consumption. Additionally, continued drinking risks worsening cognitive decline and dementia progression, while worsening cognitive impairment contributes to drinking escalation. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has been shown to improve cognition in Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dimentias (ADRD) and separately reduce heavy drinking in alcohol use disorder. Our objective is to optimize rTMS for simultaneous mitigation of both drinking and cognitive dysfunction in older adults.
The purpose of this study is to learn more about how cannabis use affects memory, thinking, and stress response in older adults, and how ovarian hormones affect them in older women. Participants will undergo a screening process over telehealth to confirm eligibility. There is a second telehealth visit to complete questionnaires, a cognitive testing battery, and a medical history. There is one visit in the clinic where participants will provide urine and saliva samples for drug and alcohol testing and a blood sample for a lipid testing, and complete additional cognitive tasks. They will then complete CREMA sessions (Cue Reactivity Ecologic Momentary Assessment) at home, two times a day for ten days. CREMA sessions include answering questions about marijuana use and sleep, and rating stress and craving.
