Salt Water Gargling on Swallowing Following ACDF
The goal of this randomized control trial is to collect sufficient preliminary data on the efficacy of sodium chloride, hereafter referred to as "saltwater" or "saline" in reducing the difficulty of swallowing following multi-level anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) procedures. The study population will consist of generally healthy adults ages 18 - 80. The main question it aims to answer is: If the symptomatology and severity of swallowing difficulties following ACDF surgery can be reduced by gargling with warm salt water. Researchers will compare the control and interventional arms to see if the proposed intervention of gargling with warm salt water improves...

Tapinarof for Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus
The investigators hypothesize that topical application of Tapinarof, an FDA-approved topical Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) agonist for the treatment of plaque psoriasis, would inhibit lupus-causing T cells and lead to improvement of cutaneous lupus lesions. To test this hypothesis, the investigators will perform a prospective, interventional clinical trial in patients with chronic and/or subacute cutaneous lupus. This trial will include outcomes analyzing the change in cutaneous lupus lesions using standardized assessments, but also analyze pre- and post-treatment skin and blood immune parameters to elucidate the immune effects and changes in lupus as a result of topical AHR...

Tetracycline Treatment Tolerability Trial
Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study (with a one-week washout period) where subjects receive either 3 months of tetracycline or 3 months of placebo. After the 3 month primary endpoint, in the follow-up period, patients will be assigned to the alternate treatment for 3 months with blind maintained.

The Course of Hip Flexion Weakness Following LLIF or ALIF
The purpose of this study is to assess the course of hip weakness after LLIF or ALIF procedures. These outcomes include measures of hip strength using a dynamometer, which is a device used to measure muscle strength. While it is known that people experience temporary hip and leg weakness after an LLIF or ALIF, the exact timing of when hip and leg strength is regained after an LLIF or ALIF is not known.

The Influence of Repairing the Sub-scapularis on Outcomes After Reverse Arthroplasty
The study is a prospective, multi-center, randomized blinded study to determine how repairing the subscapularis vs. not repairing the subscapularis when subjects are implanted with the AltiVate Reverse® Shoulder System for reverse total shoulder arthroplasty affects isometric and isokinetic internal rotational strength. It is hypothesized that patients in which the subscapularis is repaired will have improved postoperative isometric and isokinetic internal rotational strength.

The Prevalence of the Linburg-Comstock Variation
The purpose of this study is to explore the physical exam characteristics of patients referred to orthopedic surgeons with a diagnosis of thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) arthritis. CMC osteoarthritis of the thumb is one of the most common degenerative conditions of the hand in 11% of men and 33% of women (Gillis et al., 2011). Patients with CMC arthritis may experience pain, decreased range of motion, loss of grip and pinch strength, often limiting participation in activities of daily living (Bertozzi et al., 2014). In 1979, two physicians identified a variation of a tendinous connection in the wrist between the tip of the index finger and the tip of the thumb known as...
