We are doing this study to learn more about how the brain works in kids and teens who have jaw pain or frequent headaches, like migraines. We will use a special type of scan called an MRI to take pictures of the brain while the child is resting. By looking at these pictures, we hope to understand how different parts of the brain connect and talk to each other. This could help doctors find better ways to care for children with these kinds of pain in the future.
This survey is part of a research study about understanding any potential gaps in a prescribing guide developed by pharmacists for dental providers and educators to optimize education on prescribing choices for dental learners.

The purpose of this research study is to learn more about the quality of life for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
The primary endpoint of this study is to identify factors associated with various types of ocular surface trauma and their response of therapies. Previous medications, ocular history, medical history, laboratory clinical evaluations, surgical procedures, and outcomes will be gathered with the aim of learning more about the clinical findings and management of patients. There will be an emphasis on its associations to positive and negative visual outcomes.
This study will investigate how advanced college students are imagining their career paths and making career plans while facing uncertainties caused by AI. Semi-structured interviews with approximately 30 students will cover students' major and career choices, career values, short- and long-term career projections, ideas about AI's future influence on their career fields of interest, as well as factors involved in shaping these ideas. It will also examine whether and how ideas about the future of AI and work are shaping career planning and job-seeking behaviors in the present.

The purpose of this study is to learn how muscles change when people breathe air with less oxygen, like being high up in the mountains. We will use a safe ultrasound tool, called shear wave elastography, to take pictures of the muscles and see how they react. This information can help scientists understand how the body responds to high altitudes and may help athletes and travelers stay healthy in these conditions.
