This study aims to understand how we can use fecal samples to measure cortisol levels in babies. Cortisol is used to measure stress biologically, and past research has used saliva or blood samples to do so. However, these measures can be hard to collect in infants, whereas diapers are relatively easy to obtain. We are aiming to determine whether cortisol in fecal samples changes throughout the day, like saliva or blood samples, or whether they are consistent like in urine. We will also use these data to investigate relationships between cortisol and composition of the gut microbiome, health, and infant distress. We are also measuring the composition of the skin microbiome to understand how the people a baby comes into contact with can affect their health.
The purpose of this research study is to compare the effectiveness of two combinations of anticancer study drugs in treating your Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL). The first combination is sonrotoclax (also known as BGB-11417) and zanubrutinib, while the second combination is venetoclax and obinutuzumab. The aim is to determine which combination of study drugs is more effective in controlling your specific type of cancer,
This research study is being done in participants with advanced B-cell malignancies such as some types of lymphomas or leukemias. B-cell malignancies express a protein called the Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK), which has been shown to help the tumor cells grow and survive. The investigational drug, AC676, has been designed to recognize the BTK protein, and marks it for destruction. By destroying the BTK protein, the malignancy may be stopped from growing. "Investigational" means the study drug being tested is not approved by the FDA. This is an open-label study, meaning all patients who are eligible to participate will receive study drug. The key purposes of this study are to: ● Test the study drug at different dose levels (dose-escalation) and to determine the highest dose that can be taken without side effects that can't be tolerated (referred to as maximum tolerated dose or MTD). ● Determine what dose of

The purpose of this study is to observe factors that impact creativity and emotion regulation. Participants will complete a 1-hr session online.
Have you been diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer? If so, you may be able to take part in a research study looking at the efficacy of giving a drug called enzalutamide, alone or combined with mifepristone vs standard chemotherapy.
Young adults show very high levels of anxiety and depression, both compared to older adults and to young adults of previous generations. This study is trying to find out why! Our idea is that the way young adults are thinking about the social, political, and ecological stressors in their lives could be different from other ages. Therefore, we are trying to find out what this group is thinking and feeling about these stressors. This might allow psychologists to better treat young adults for these symptoms in the future!
Have you been diagnosed with Smoldering Multiple Myeloma (SMM)? Are you 40 years old or older? If so, you may be able to participate in a study to see if AL-related genes can increase the chances of SMM patients developing AL Amyloidosis in the future.
