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.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if Cobenfy influences the effects of cocaine in people with cocaine use disorder. This trial will also provide information about the safety and tolerability of combining Cobenfy and cocaine. Researchers will compare Cobenfy to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to see if Cobenfy is a safe, tolerable and effective at blocking cocaine's effects in participants with cocaine use disorder. Participants will: - Participate in an 11-day inpatient trial - Take Cobenfy or placebo twice per day. - Participate in experimental sessions to test the effects of Cobenfy (or placebo) on the response to cocaine and cocaine self-administration.

This study is evaluating whether acupuncture may help reduce hot flashes in men receiving hormone therapy for prostate cancer. Hot flashes are a common side effect of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and may negatively affect sleep, mood, concentration, daily activities, and overall quality of life. Participants enrolled in this study will receive acupuncture treatment over a defined treatment period. The study will assess changes in hot flash frequency, severity, and quality of life using patient questionnaires and symptom diaries. Participants will complete a daily hot flash diary during selected 7-day assessment periods and quality-of-life questionnaires during study visits. The primary goal of this study is to determine whether acupuncture may improve hot flash symptoms and related quality of life in men undergoing treatment for prostate cancer.

The main purpose of this study is to compare patients with a deep bleed in the brain undergoing surgery to patients receiving routine medical care. The standard treatment involves admission to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) with close monitoring and blood pressure control. It also includes other medical (non-surgical) treatments to prevent more bleeding or another stroke. Sometimes, doctors will recommend surgery to remove the blood if medical treatment alone is not successful. There is evidence that doing minimally invasive surgery early-using a small opening in the skull to remove blood-may help some patients. Researchers aim to understand whether this surgery is better than current medical treatment, which may include surgeries to relieve pressure on the brain in some cases. This study, called REACH, is comparing usual medical care to early minimally invasive surgery so doctors can know which is better for patients.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the drug semaglutide changes markers of disease risk as it relates to weight in children ages 12-15 years old who are obese (class 2 or 3). The main questions it aims to answer are: - How do the rate of weight loss, body mass index (BMI), body composition, heart structure and function, and exercise ability interact with one another in the study population at enrollment? - How do risk markers of disease change over the study in the study participants who are given semaglutides to help with weight loss? - Are there differences in the above factors between males and females and are there key factors to help improve the outcomes? Participants will be given semaglutide for this study. During the course of the study, participants will: - have two cardiac MRI scans OR two cardiac echocardiograms (one before starting semaglutide and one around 12 months after taking the drug) - have body composition and fitness levels assessed twice (before semaglutide and around 12 months after taking it) and have urine specific gravity (USG) measured - have extra blood drawn when labs their doctor orders are already being drawn (once at the beginning of the study, once around 6 months after enrollment, and once at the end of the study) - have follow up visits with the study doctor - be asked to take a pregnancy test if they are female and have started menstruation

Pediatric traumatic injury (PTI) is a public health priority, with more than 125,000 children experiencing injuries that require hospitalization each year. These children, and their caregivers, are affected in many ways that may affect quality of life, emotional and behavioral health, physical recovery, family roles and routines, and academic functioning; yet US trauma centers do not adequately address these outcomes and a scalable national model of care for these families is needed. This proposal builds on prior research from the investigative team to test a technology-assisted, stepped care behavioral health intervention for children (<12 years) and their caregivers after PTI, CAARE (Caregivers' Aid to Accelerate Recovery after pediatric Emergencies), via a hybrid type I effectiveness-implementation trial with 348 families randomly assigned to CAARE (n=174) vs. guideline-adherent enhanced usual care (EUC) (n=174).
