Psychosocial Interventions for Young Adults With Hip Pain
Psychosocial conditions are common in young adults with hip pain including depression, anxiety, pain catastrophizing, and narcotic use. The incidence of these conditions is not well defined. Interventions to optimize psychosocial conditions with non-surgical or surgical treatments has not been investigated. The goal of this project is to determine the incidence of psychosocial conditions in the young adult population with hip pain and determine if cognitive based therapy can improve clinical outcomes in these individuals.

RA-PRO PRAGMATIC TRIAL
The 2015 ACR RA treatment guideline, based on widely acknowledged low to moderate quality evidence, recommends adding TNFi-biologic, non-TNFi biologic or a tsDMARD to MTX in MTX-IR patients with active RA.24 In practice, most patients receive a TNFi-biologic first. This is not based on solid evidence, but on arbitrary algorithms often proposed by health insurance plans, physician experience (first TNFi launched 22 yrs ago vs. first tsDMARD 8 yrs ago). This study will fill a critical knowledge gap by generating CER data for important PROs between these treatment options, adding TNFi-biologic or a tsDMARD to MTX in MTX-IR patients.

Rate of Bony Fusion Using NanoBone® Synthetic Bone Graft Versus Local Autologous Bone Graft.
The objectives of this longitudinal study are to assess and measure fusion status (fused or not fused) and rate of bony fusion using NanoBone® Synthetic Bone Graft in patients requiring one to two level lumbar posterolateral fusion procedures with or without commercially available rigid spinal instrumentation. Our hypothesis is that the Nanobone synthetic bone graft will be as effective at creating a fusion in the lumbar spine as compared with a local bone graft. Each subject will serve as their own control during this study, as patients will receive the Nanobone graft on the right side of their spine and the local bone graft on their ...

Relative Bioavailability Study to Assess an LC350189 Tablet Compared to an LC350189 Capsule in Healthy Adults
This is an open-label, randomized, crossover, single dose study. Two single doses of LC350189(tablet or capsule formulations) will be administered with a washout period of at least 4-day between the doses to investigate the relative bioavailability of LC350189 after administration via tablet formulation compared with capsule formulation and to evaluate basic systemic pharmacokinetic parameters of the tablet formulation compared to the capsule formulation of LC350189.

RENEW Scleroderma: A Peer-Mentored, Web Intervention for Resilience-based, Energy Management to Enhance Wellbeing and Fatigue
The researchers seek to understand if the Resilience-based, Energy Management to Enhance Wellbeing and Fatigue (RENEW) program helps with scleroderma symptom management and disease burden. The researchers think that those participants who receive the intervention will have clinically meaningful changes of symptom management and disease burden.

Reparel Knee Sleeve vs. TED Hose for Post-op Swelling, Pain and Range of Motion After Total Knee Replacement
This prospective study will evaluate pain, swelling, ROM as well as narcotic use in post-operative total knee arthroplasty patients using novel Non-Compressive Bioactive Garment (NCBG) versus current standard of care gradient compression stocking (Thrombo-Embolic-Deterrent or TED hose). If NCBG proves to be more effective in these outcome areas, it will provide a new and comfortable way to reduce patient pain and swelling immediately following surgery

Safety and Efficacy of Abatacept for Treating Chronic Cytopenia in Cytotoxic T-Lymphocyte Antigen 4 (CTLA4) Haploinsufficiency
Background: CTLA4 stands for cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4. It is a protein the body makes naturally to check its immune system from attacking itself. Some people don t produce enough CTLA4 protein, causing problems due to overactive immune system such as big spleens, repeated lung infections, breathing problems, stomach and intestine symptoms as well as inflamed brain and nerve problems. Many have problems with their bone marrow causing low numbers of blood cells like platelets, red blood cells or white blood cells, which is called cytopenia. Researchers want to see if the drug abatacept can treat cytopenias by replacing the...
