Multidisciplinary Approach for Treat To Target In Rheumatoid Arthritis
This research will evaluate a multifaceted patient-centered intervention in a sample of socioeconomically disadvantaged Hispanic adults with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) that capitalizes on a partnership between the extended rheumatology healthcare team and each patient in order to promote understanding, uptake and adherence to the principles of treat-to-target strategy. The primary hypothesis of this study is that the addition of a multifaceted intervention incorporating integrated multidisciplinary rheumatologic care, nurse-directed self-management education and supportive follow-up, and technology-based at home RA symptom monitoring...

Non-invasive Evaluation of Upper and Lower Body Function With Showmotion
It is very important to understand joint and body kinematics and muscles activity in clinical settings, which is relevant to identify issues related to the spine, the upper and lower limbs due to injury. In this study, the investigators will use an innovative platform, Showmotion to establish baseline of shoulder, hip, knee and spine kinematics and muscles activity from 60 healthy volunteers.

Oxytocin Pharmacokinetics After Intramuscular Injection
In this study people with knee arthritis so severe that a joint replacement is needed are recruited for a one day study. Study participants will have an intravenous catheter (IV) inserted in the forearm. A single intramuscular (IM) injection of oxytocin (Pitocin®), 17 micrograms will be administered and blood samples will be taken several times over the next 120 minutes. The amount of oxytocin will be measured in the blood samples. The main purpose of this study is to sample the blood, before and after the administration of oxytocin and calculate the pharmacokinetics (amount of oxytocin in the blood over time) of oxytocin.

Photobiomodulation for the Management of Temporomandibular Disorder Pain
Photobiomodulation (PBM), is FDA-approved for temporary relief of muscle and joint pain, but there is no indication for TMD. Our goal in this study is to conduct a clinical trial of multimodal PBM for TMD pain. Also, we propose to determine if PBM-induced changes in inflammation contribute to PBM's analgesic effects. This study will be a double-blind, sham-controlled, randomized trial testing the efficacy of PBM for pain related to TMD.

Post-Authorisation Safety Study of Lesinurad
Non-interventional population-based prospective cohort study in multiple databases comparing patients with gout who initiate lesinurad in combination with an existing xanthine oxidase inhibitor (XOI) (lesinurad+XOI cohort) to a propensity score-matched cohort of similar patients from the same data source who continue treatment with XOI monotherapy (XOI mono cohort). Study will characterize the cardiovascular safety of lesinurad in combination with XOI in patients with gout aged 18+ years compared with similar patients who continue XOI monotherapy. Primary objective: to assess the relative incidence of major adverse cardiac events...

Prediction of Expected Length of Hospital Stay Using Machine Learning
This is a retrospective observational study drawing on data from the Brigham and Women's Home Hospital database. Sociodemographic and clinic data from a training cohort were used to train a machine learning algorithm to predict length of stay throughout a patient's admission. This algorithm was then validated in a validation cohort.
