To compare the prevalence, severity, and timing of chronic health conditions (CHC) in a cohort of patients with DS-AL (Down Syndrome Acute Leukemia) with age-comparable DS individuals that have no cancer history. Our secondary objectives will compare NP (Neuro-Psychological) and health-related quality of life outcomes in survivors of DS-AL compared with age-comparable DS individuals with no cancer history, and will identify risk determinants of CHC and NP late effects among survivors of DS-AL.

It seeks to better understand common information literacy practices and compare how information literacy is taught among different groups of homeschoolers in order to strengthen our understanding of how high schoolers encounter this important skill.
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.
The purpose of this project is to advance understanding of the relationship of food and eating characteristics with gastrointestinal symptoms on a population level, by examining the frequency, associated factors, and quality of life and emotional effects of eating-associated gastrointestinal symptoms.
