The purpose of this study is to compare clinical outcomes and health-related quality of life between an individualized hemodialysis prescription and conventional hemodialysis prescription in individuals requiring chronic hemodialysis who still have residual kidney function.
Osteosarcoma is the most common primary bone malignancy of childhood and adolescence. Survival rates for patients with standard risk (localized, resectable primary tumors) and high-risk disease (presence of metastases, unresectable or primary pelvic tumors) are 70% and 20-30%, respectively, and have remained unchanged for several decades despite numerous attempts to augment standard therapies. Multi-targeted receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (MTKIs), such as cabozantinib, can target signaling pathways that are known to be altered in osteosarcoma. Several MTKIs including cabozantinib have recently shown clinical evidence of activity in prospective studies for both pediatric and adult patients with advanced osteosarcoma. Furthermore, feasibility of administering MTKIs in combination with cytotoxic chemotherapy has previously been shown in patients with AML, hepatocellular carcinoma, and soft tissue sarcomas.

This project is about studying how certain encouragements related to the environment can affect the healthy food choices people make. We want to find out if these encouragements can help people select healthier food options. Other studies haven't looked into this yet, so this small study will be the first step to help plan bigger studies in the future. We are also interested in understanding how food is wasted by young adults and what prevents wasted food. We will compare college students and non-college students to see if there are any differences. This information will help us create ways to help young adults waste less food, especially those in college.
We are interviewing businesses and local law enforcement to learn about practices around checking customer identification for alcohol sales. Additionally, we are providing age verification technology to businesses to prevent the sale of alcohol to underage customers.
The purpose of this research study is to (1) understand how to professionally and personally support Afghan pre-medical students and medical trainees; (2) understand the barriers Afghan students face in pursuing a career in medicine or healthcare (3) develop and evaluate a mentorship program for Afghan pre-medical students and medical trainees.
Recording brain signals while people learn changing information to see how brain signals differ when people notice that information has changed compared to when people do not notice that information has changed. This will help us understand how memory works in the brain.
To determine in a randomized manner whether the addition of levocarnitine prophylaxis to asparaginase-containing regimens will decrease the incidence of conjugated hyperbilirubinemia (>3 mg/dL) during ALL induction therapy in adolescents and young adults (AYAs, age 15-39 years).
To learn more about a condition called microscopic colitis which can cause chronic diarrhea
We want to understand the basis of the symptoms of psychosis in the brain and use imaging to predict them. The purpose of the study is to develop future treatments that target the particular symptoms that the patients present.
Sweden was militarily non-aligned for 200 years, but decided to formally leave neutrality in 2022 by applying for NATO membership. This study looks to understand why the Swedish government decided to leave neutrality in 2022, despite having similar opportunities when NATO was founded, when the two World Wars began, and when the Cold War ensued.
