Conversations in Health Literacy Using AI Technology for Osteoarthritis Patients
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the use of a generative artificial intelligence large language model chatbot in improving decision making factors in patients with hip and knee osteoarthritis. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the use of an artificial intelligence chatbot have an effect on decisional conflict and anxiety related to decision making? Are changes in decisional conflict correlated with changes in patient reported outcomes? Are changes in decisional conflict correlated with health literacy? Participants will interact with an artificial intelligence chatbot prior to their clinic visit with an orthopaedic surgeon, using a structured prompt.

CorEvitas Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) Drug Safety and Effectiveness Registry
Prospective, observational registry for subjects with SLE under the care of a rheumatology provider. Longitudinal data are collected from both subjects and their treating rheumatology provider during routine clinical encounters using a structured and standardized data collection method.

Corticosteroid Injection Versus Nerve Block
The purpose of this study is to evaluate conservative pain relief measures for patients suffering from glenohumeral arthritis or rotator cuff arthropathy. Conservative management of osteoarthritis is often first line treatment, and while a corticosteroid injection is frequently used, suprascapular nerve blocks have not often been described as an analgesic option in this population.

Creation of a Prospective Data Collecting Registry for Genicular Artery Embolization for Arthritis
The goal of this study is to create a prospective registry (<100 patients) to show the effectiveness of the genicular artery embolization procedure overtime in reducing bilateral or unilateral osteoarthritic knee pain as measured by Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score.

Cryoneurolysis of the Suprascapular Nerve for Perioperative Pain Control After Receiving a Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (RTSA)
The main purpose of this research is to find out if a treatment called cryoneurolysis can reduce pain after reverse total shoulder replacement surgery. This treatment uses cold to temporarily block a nerve in the shoulder. The study will compare people who receive the treatment to those who do not, to see if it helps lower pain and reduce the need for opioid pain medications after a reverse total shoulder surgery (RTSA).

Cutaneous Lupus Registry
Approximately 1.4 million individuals in the United States have systemic lupus erythematosus, and about 85% of these individuals develop skin lesions at some point of their disease. Cutaneous lupus erythematosus represents the skin manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus, and can appear in people with or without systemic lupus. It is a mentally, physically, and emotionally debilitating disease that affects both the quality of life and social well-being of those affected. The cause of cutaneous lupus is not completely understood, but likely includes multiple factors from our genes and the environment. Multiple genetic studies with small numbers of cutaneous lupus patients...

Data Collection Study of Patients with Non-Malignant Disorders Undergoing UCBT, BMT or PBSCT with RIC
This is a data collection study that will examine the general diagnostic and treatment data associated with the reduced-intensity chemotherapy-based regimen paired with simple alemtuzumab dosing strata designed to prevented graft failure and to aid in immune reconstitution following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Deciphering the Genetic Architecture of Autoimmune Diseases
Background: Autoimmune diseases can be caused by genes people inherit from their parents. The gene changes that cause these diseases have been well studied in people with European and Asian ancestors. But some diseases behave differently in people who are native to North and South America. Researchers want to know more about the gene changes and other factors that may cause autoimmune diseases among these people. This project will be based in Peru. Objective: To study how gene changes can lead to autoimmune diseases in people native to Peru. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with an autoimmune disease. These may include systemic lupus erythematosus; Sjogren...

Defining the Molecular and Radiologic Phenotype of Progressive RA Interstitial Lung Disease
A study to identify patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis - Associated Interstitial Lung Disease (RA-ILD) that are at the highest risk for progression. The goal of the investigators is to recruit a group of patients with RA-ILD and collect information to help us understand more about disease progression. The investigators will do this using a combination of clinical, radiologic, and biologic features.
