Early Rheumatoid Arthritis Lung Disease Study
The primary goal of this study is to investigate lung disease, through pulmonary function and high resolution chest CT, in newly diagnosed RA patients. Extra-articular disease occurs in approximately 50% of RA patients, with the lung being a common site of involvement. Investigators goal is to understand the prevalence of lung disease in early RA patients and to better characterize it through questionnaires, imaging, and serum studies. Additionally, the goal is to find novel biomarkers to predict lung disease in RA patients.

Effectiveness of Healthy Habits for Hospitalized Older Adults to Optimize Rehabilitation
This study aims to evaluate behavioral interventions in conjunction with medical rehabilitation to promote functional health in patients recovering from orthopedic surgery. Half of the subjects in this study will be assigned to an intervention that meets with a study therapist to discuss implementing healthy habits. The other half of subjects will assigned to an intervention group that meets with a study therapists to discuss implementing healthy sleep habits. Both groups will undergo several physical and cognitive assessments.

Effect of Anti-inflammatory Diet in Osteoarthritis
In a previous exploratory study, the investigators observed an effect on disease activity outcomes of anti-inflammatory diet. The investigators also observed change in microbiome and circulating metabolites. The current study will determine whether or not the addition of anti-inflammatory diet improves the clinical outcomes in participants with Osteoarthritis, and the role of microbiome and circulating metabolites.
