Emerging technologies that utilize motion capture integrated with engaging software offer new methods for increasing engagement and movement in patients admitted to the hospital. Hospitalized patients are often limited to sedentary activities, spending the majority of their time in bed, which can contribute to deconditioning and functional mobility deficits. This study seeks to explore the feasibility of a tool designed to promote movement through engaging gameplay that is acceptable to both clinicians and families.
This research study aims to learn how lifestyle factors (e.g., obesity) impact the risk of developing kidney cancer and impact survival after nephrectomy (removal of a kidney). The study team's long-term goals are to learn: 1) How to improve treatment success in future patients by tailoring therapies to each patient's unique biology; and 2) What future patients can do to improve their health after diagnosis. To this end, the study team will collect samples (such as blood and extra tissue from surgery) from patients and store and test these samples. The study team also asks patients about their health behaviors (e.g., diet and physical activity) and well-being before their diagnosis and afterwards by filling out questionnaires.

This study is open to people aged 18 years or older with schizophrenia. People can join the study if they are willing to use a smartphone app called CT-155. This app is being developed to help people with schizophrenia manage their negative symptoms. The purpose of this study is to gather new information on CT-155. Researchers want to see how well it works, how well participants use the study app, and how it affects the use of health care services. Participants use the app for 16 weeks. They may continue using it for another 16 weeks. During the study, participants continue with their normal treatment for schizophrenia. Participants are in the study for about a year. During this time, they visit the study site every 2 months. During this study, doctors regularly check participants' schizophrenia symptoms and overall quality of life. Researchers may also compare the healthcare data of study participants with a similar group of people with schizophrenia who are not part of the study. The doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.
Background: Type 2 diabetes is a disease that affects blood sugar levels. Complications can include heart and blood vessel (vascular) diseases. Rates of type 2 diabetes have tripled in children and young adults over the last 40 years. Vascular diseases are also increasing in young people. Objective: To learn more about factors, including type 2 diabetes, that may cause vascular disease in young people. Eligibility: People aged 12 to 25 years who (1) have type 2 diabetes; (2) are overweight but not diabetic; (3) or are lean and healthy. Biological parents are also needed. Design: Young participants will visit the NIH clinic once a year for up to 25 years. Each visit will take 4 days. Before each visit, participants will wear devices to track their sleep, activity, and blood sugar levels for 7 to 10 days.

The purpose of the study is to learn more about a new device, the EpiZact Epidural Device, that may be helpful for reducing the likelihood of wet tap when a labor epidural is placed. When epidurals are placed correctly the needle stops just in front of the space in the body that contains cerebrospinal fluid. When the epidural is advanced a short distance further, leakage of cerebrospinal fluid can occur. This is known as a wet tap. A wet tap can result in a severe headache and at times other complications. The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the use of the EpiZact device prevents wet taps in pregnant women receiving epidurals for relief of labor pain. The main questions this study aims to answer are: 1. What the rate of wet tap with the EpiZact device? 2. What is the rate of failed epidural placement with the EpiZact device? All patients in the study will receive an epidural with the EpiZact device. The investigators will compare the results with patients not in the study that receive an epidural without the EpiZact device.

The researchers want to learn how androgens, a type of sex hormone, might affect nonalcoholic fatty liver (NAFLD) in young women over time. NAFLD happens when fat builds up in the liver which can cause damage to the liver such as inflammation or scarring. Young women with a condition called polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have a high risk for NAFLD, and they often have high androgen levels too. So the researchers are recruiting young women with PCOS as well as those without PCOS, and will compare changes in NAFLD over time between young women with and without PCOS. This study is funded by the National Institutes of Health

During this study, the medical and health records of participants will be reviewed to learn more about their health. Participants will have urothelial cancer that has grown in the body near where it started (locally advanced) and cannot be removed (unresectable) or has spread through the body (metastatic).
Problem. Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) are the best way to determine if interventions are safe and effective. Usually only a small number of eligible patients enroll. This is because trials require people to consent to be enrolled and randomized. Black and Hispanic people are more likely to develop heart disease. They are also more likely to have risk factors for heart disease that are not controlled. Yet they are very under-represented in heart disease trials. This raises concerns about if trial results can be applied to the general population. Trial sponsors are required to enroll patients that reflect the racial and ethnic diversity of real-world people. Black and Hispanic people continue to enroll in trials at a lower rate. The goal of this study is to conduct a series of small randomized trials to test recruitment strategies to increase how many Black and Hispanic people enroll in heart disease clinical trials without diminishing trust. The investigators will test different recruitment strategies for participant enrollment in a few different areas. They will study the method of outreach, the way messages are framed, defaults, and enrollment incentives. They will run smaller recruitment strategy trials within larger parent trials (e.g. Penn Medicine Biobank cohort study). They will run a small recruitment strategy trial to test each approach and then include what they learned in the next small trial.

Children exposed to HIV in-utero but uninfected (CHEUs) number 14.8 million globally. In Zambia, an estimated 56,000 CHEUs are born annually, a staggering fraction of the national birth cohort. Multiple studies establish that CHEUs are more neurodevelopmentally vulnerable than HIV-unexposed peers. In Zambia, there are existing effective early childhood developmental (ECD) interventions that target other vulnerable populations, but never trialed specifically for CHEUs. Scaling up ECD is now a priority of Zambia's national strategy, but CHEUs are not currently targeted. There is a need to better understand the scope and mechanism of CHEU-related neurodevelopmental differences and what interventions are most effective. This randomized clinical trial (RCT) is a true effectiveness trial as the intervention will deploy a home-based adaptation of the same curriculum that is currently used elsewhere in the country, named Scaling Up Early Childhood Development In Zambia (SUPERCDZ). The effectiveness of a scalable early childhood development (ECD) intervention for CHEUs will be evaluated using normalized Z-scores of neurodevelopmental testing at age 24 months. In this RCT the investigators will test the following hypotheses: Hypothesis 1: An ECD intervention delivered by community health workers via bi-weekly home visits will improve neurodevelopmental outcomes in CHEUs. Hypothesis 2: CHEUs have significantly worse neurodevelopmental outcomes than unexposed peers at 24 months, mediated by preterm birth, disease stage or antiretroviral (ARV) exposure. This RCT will build on an existent, actively recruiting cohort of 1500 pregnant women-infant dyads in a peri-urban hospital in Zambia, the Zambian Infant Cohort Study (ZICS), by extending the follow-up of a subsample of infants from 6 months to 2 years amongst the last 525 children enrolled (ZICS-BOOST- Brains Optimized to Survive and Thrive). The study will have three arms: Arm 1) CHEU + ECD intervention (n=175); Arm 2) CHEU without ECD intervention (n=175); Arm 3) HUU without intervention (n=175).
