Effects of Vitamin K on Lower-extremity Function in Adults With Osteoarthritis:
The overall goal of this pilot randomized trial is to obtain necessary prerequisite data to conduct a randomized controlled intervention to test the effect of vitamin K supplementation on knee osteoarthritis progression and related functional decline. To address critical parameters required to design this larger RCT, we will conduct a double-blind, 2-armed, parallel-group intervention study, with a placebo run-in, in which 50 adults with mild to moderate knee OA and low baseline vitamin K status will be randomly assigned to 1 mg phylloquinone/day or matching placebo, and treated for 6 months. Specifically, we will: (1) compare the effects of 1 mg/day phylloquinone vs. placebo on...

Efficacy and Safety of Rexlemestrocel-L Combined With HA* in Participants With Moderate to Severe Chronic Low Back Pain
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of rexlemestrocel-L+HA compared to control in reducing low back pain at 12 months post-treatment and safety of a single injection of rexlemestrocel-L+HA injected into a lumbar intervertebral disc compared to control through 12 months post-treatment.

Efficacy of Intra-articular Injections for the Treatment of Primary Glenohumeral Osteoarthritis(GHOA)
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of intra-articular corticosteroid injections versus platelet-rich plasma injections for non-operative treatment of primary glenohumeral osteoarthritis. The efficacy of intra-articular injections, outside of hyaluronic acid, for the treatment of glenohumeral OA is not known, yet these treatments are commonly used with hopes of providing patients with symptomatic relief that can hopefully delay or prevent the need for shoulder arthroplasty. This study will help elucidate the therapeutic benefit of corticosteroid and Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) injections in this patient population.

Efficacy of Ketorolac for Postoperative Pain Management in Hip Arthroscopy: A Prospective Double-Blinded Randomized Controlled Trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether the medication ketorolac can help manage pain after hip arthroscopy as well or better than the standard opioid-based pain medications. This study focuses on adult patients (over 18 years old) undergoing hip arthroscopy at Henry Ford Health System in Detroit, Michigan. Both men and women are included, and all participants must be able to consent and communicate in English. The main questions it aims to answer are: Can ketorolac help control pain as effectively or better than opioids after hip arthroscopy? Will ketorolac use reduce the amount of opioid medication needed after surgery? Researchers will compare the group...

Electroencephalogram Recording in Patients With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) often experience a frustrating decline of their cognitive skills that includes considerable problems in attention, learning, and memory. This lupus-related cognitive dysfunction (termed SLE-CD) is recognized as the most prevalent of the nineteen neuropsychiatric SLE syndromes, as it affects up to 80% of patients and can significantly decrease their quality of life. The goal is to have tools that can be used for diagnosis and for monitoring responses after targeted interventions and therapies. This study will focus on electroencephalographic (EEG) signals, which will be detected noninvasively from scalp placed surface electrodes while...

Elucidating Shared Mechanisms Contributing to NAFLD and PsA Disease Severity With Guselkumab Therapy
While many studies examine Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), little is known about its progression to high-risk nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in PsA patients. Shared disease mechanisms may explain the increased severity in PsA. This study involves two visits from PsA patients with NAFLD and active disease signs (e.g., swollen joint, enthesitis, or psoriatic plaque). It aims to assess the impact of biological therapies on liver disorders, joints, and skin in PsA patients.
