GA + ESP Vs. SA + ESP in Lumbar Decompression Surgeries
The purpose of this study is to determine the optimal anesthetic routine for lumbar decompression surgery. General Anesthesia is the standard of care in spine surgery. Spinal anesthesia in decompressive procedures can be the new standard of care. Recently, it has been found that regional analgesia is option that has been shown to improve pain and opioid-related outcomes after spine surgery, but has not yet been studied in combination with spinal anesthesia. This is study that consists of two groups: standard of care general anesthesia with a nerve block and a spinal anesthesia with nerve block. Patients are randomized to either of the two groups. There will be 71 patients...

Genetic Susceptibility to Periprosthetic Joint Infections
The investigators primary objective is to identify genetic factors that may increase the risk of patients developing a periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) following total joint arthroplasty (TJA). The investigators hope that by identifying genetic predispositions we will be able to provide patient specific care pathways to prevent or minimize the risk for PJI.

Imaging Biomarkers for Myofascial Pain
Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is highly prevalent in the community. It is primarily diagnosed using patient self reports and physical examination, which lack reliability, sensitivity and specificity and does not provide insights into the abnormal biological and physiological processes in soft tissues. While a number of treatment methods are available to patients, there are currently no criteria to determine which treatments might be best for each patient's unique myofascial pain phenotype. To improve evidence-based management of myofascial pain, there is a critical need to develop quantitative measures that advance the understanding of the physiological processes in the...

Ketogenic Diet in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)
This is a 6-week ketogenic diet (KD) intervention where participants with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) will follow a KD plan, supervised and monitored by a dietician. Participants will be provided extensive educational and ongoing support on the KD, including personalized coaching with the ability to text a dietitian at any time and expect a response within 12 hours. Diet adherence and progress will be assessed daily using at-home blood ketone/glucose monitors, along with diet records. Participants will fill out health related questionnaires and undergo assessments of body composition, RA disease activity. This study also includes blood draws and fat biopsy of the abdominal region.
