This prospective cohort study compares aims to determine the efficacy and effectiveness of telemedicine-supported on-site linkage to care and treatment in a community probation and parole office (P&P office) setting and compare the results with a historic control with referral to care. Research participants will be followed in the P&P office when they report to their officer during regularly scheduled appointments. Participants will receive treatment without having to travel to a specialist's office. The telemedicine visit will include a consultation with an experienced HCV provider such as a hepatologist or an advanced practice provider and a specialty pharmacist who will educate about and monitor HCV treatment. The UK specialty pharmacy will be available to participants and the HCV management team through a 24-hour support line. Participants will be treated per HCV guidelines and insurance preference.

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and anaplastic astrocytoma (AA) are the most common primary malignant brain tumors. Survival of patients with these brain tumors is directly related to the extent of resection. Consequently, a great deal of effort has been directed at developing techniques and technologies that allow more extensive, safe resections. This study will test a loupe-based wearable device in the clinical setting and compare its accuracy with a large operative microscope to identify tumor tissues. Postoperative histopathological analysis on tumor tissues will be used as gold standards for comparison. The outcome from this study will be a low-cost, miniaturized, easy-to-operate, loupe-based fluorescence imaging device for intraoperative guidance of brain tumor resection with the same level of accuracy as the large microscope.

ME&MG is a standalone software (digital solution) running on patients smartphones, connected to a web portal for physicians. It is intended to be used as an unsupervised digital self-assessment tool for the monitoring of disabilities in patients living with MG. ME&MG contains digital active tests for the assessment of ptosis, breathing, dysarthria, upper- and lower-limb (arms and legs) weakness, treatment follow-up, and validated e-questionnaires related to daily activities, pain, fatigue, sleep, and depression disorders. The objectives of this study are to validate the accuracy, reliability and reproducibility of the unsupervised at-home self-assessment of symptoms on the patient's smartphone with ME&MG versus the standard in-clinic testing, as well as to evaluate the safety of the solution, its usability and satisfaction.

Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) affects approximately 500,000 - 3 million Americans. This number will only increase due to the large number of patients experiencing POTS due to "long COVID." POTS patients experience several symptoms, including tachycardia, palpitations, dizziness, and pre-syncope or syncope, among others. POTS can be very debilitating and not only affect patients physically but also emotionally and financially. It takes an average of four years and seven doctors for POTS patients to achieve a diagnosis and it is often a frustrating and negative experience fraught with misdiagnoses, stigma, and depression and anxiety. Recent research demonstrates that mHealth technology may be one way that POTS patients can improve their experience in the healthcare system by providing objective data to their healthcare providers. Patients may also better take care of themselves through symptom monitoring and instant patient education via mHealth technology. The two study aims are: 1) Developing a mHealth app to improve the delay to diagnosis and the quality of life of POTS patients; and 2) Evaluate the usability and feasibility of the mHealth app and study design. To achieve these aims, researchers in this study will work with a programmer and leaders from the mHealth Application Modernization and Mobilization Alliance (MAMMA) and stakeholders (patients, caregivers, and providers) to co-design a mHealth app for POTS patients, including key educational components guided by the IDEA model, an instructional risk communication approach. A group of diagnosis-seeking POTS (n=20) patients will pilot test the app and provide feedback for improvement as well as evaluate its usability. Results from this study will allow researchers to acquire necessary data to apply for external funding to conduct a larger clinical trial to evaluate its influence on health outcomes, such as patient experience during visits with physicians, perceived stigma, and time to diagnosis.

The purpose of this project is to compare a novel sensorimotor ankle rehabilitation training (SMART) protocol for Lateral ankle sprains (LASs) against a standard of care (SOC) protocol to determine if it is more successful at producing successful one-year outcomes and lower rates of re-injury and improved health. This will address the identified needs for evidence-support and reintegration strategies to improve understanding of the management of patient rehabilitation strategies throughout the rehabilitation process following neuromusculoskeletal injury. The project will validate an innovative rehabilitation approach while providing metrics of success using a variety of clinical and innovative markers.

Rates of heavy drinking and Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) are increasing in women, but research on alcohol-related harms in women - including alcohol's impact on sleep - has been minimal. Numerous studies in men show that alcohol impairs sleep, and preliminary evidence suggests that women may be even more sensitive to alcohol-disrupted sleep due to their sex hormones, which fluctuate across both their menstrual cycles and their reproductive lifespans. This study will investigate the influence of sex, menstrual cycle phase, and sex hormones on alcohol-disrupted sleep in adults ages 21-45. Healthy women and men will complete two sets of placebo-controlled lab sessions, during the mid-follicular and late luteal phases of female participants' menstrual cycles. During these sessions, participants will receive a dose of alcohol or a placebo (saline) and they will then be monitored (with polysomnography) while they sleep. At-home sleep and alcohol use will also be measured through actigraphy, daily sleep and wake diaries, and alcohol wrist sensors. Investigators hypothesize that women will show greater disruption of sleep following alcohol use or administration than men, and that alcohol-disrupted sleep will be more pronounced in the late luteal phase compared to the mid-follicular phase. Investigators also expect that estradiol will be negatively associated with alcohol-disrupted sleep, whereas progesterone will be positively associated with alcohol-disrupted sleep.
