We are recruiting individuals between the ages of 18 and 85. The main purpose of this study is to explore how aging affects not only the local organization of hippocampus but also the corresponding global connectivity. Additionally, the findings of age-dependent alteration on hippocampal subfield networks will lay the foundation for the development of an early biomarker of Alzheimer's disease. Participants will be reimbursed $40 for completing the two visits.
By joining, you'll share important health information in a secure research registry to help scientists: -Understand how the immune system reacts to food -Improve diagnosis and treatment -Develop prevention strategies and new therapies
The goal of this interview is to gather a clinician's perspective on the feasibility and potential integration of a new Geriatric Functional Assessment System (GFAS) into their clinical practice. This proposed system is a clinic-based wearable device designed to collect visual and motion data from older adults during their primary care visits that will help assess physical function. Its goal is to collect and process data, apply machine learning, and enable clinicians to identify early signs of functional decline.

Are you planning on having an IUD placed? If you are already planning to get an IUD, this study gives the chance to receive extra pain medication during insertion. Everyone will receive standard pain medication, and 2/3 of volunteers will receive extra. We are looking to see if giving ketorolac pills 1-hour vs 2-hours before an IUD decreases pain levels. We would need 3 hours of in-person clinic time from volunteers. Compensation provided.
