Engagement in CHildhood-Onset Systemic Lupus
The goal of this observational (Aim 1) and pilot study (Aim 2) is to better understand how depression symptoms may contribute to how well adolescent and young adults with lupus follow-up with their lupus clinical care. The main questions the overall study attempts to answer are: 1. Whether anhedonia (a core symptom of depression) predicts disengagement in care 2. Whether a patient-tailored mobile health application built to improve both engagement in care and depression symptoms will be feasible and acceptable to adolescents and young adults with lupus. Participants with systemic lupus, ages 15-24 from the Bronx, New York will be asked to complete...

Evaluating Intercostobrachial Nerve Block's Effect on Pain Control After Shoulder Replacement
Interscalene blocks are frequently performed to decrease postoperative pain after shoulder surgeries and are considered the gold standard for pain control after this type of surgery. Some patients report pain in the axilla (armpit) following shoulder replacement surgeries. Sensation in the axilla is supplied by nerves not covered by the interscalene block. Sensation in the axilla can be decreased by performing an intercostobrachial nerve block. This study aims to study whether adding an intercostobrachial nerve block to the interscalene block decreases recovery room stay time, opioid pain medication requirement, and postoperative pain scores.

Extended Oral Tranexamic Acid After Total Knee Arthroplasty
The utilization of intraoperative tranexamic acid (TXA), whether administered intravenously or orally, has become a standard practice in total joint arthroplasty (TJA). Multiple studies have demonstrated the positive impact that TXA application has on clinical outcomes, including decreased blood loss and transfusion rates, decreased early swelling and ecchymosis, improved early recovery, and potentially superior long-term outcomes. Its ability to mitigate risk of blood loss made ambulatory total knee arthroplasty (TKA) safer for patients. The safety of intraoperative TXA use has also been documented. Sabbag et al. showed that TXA does not increase the risk of...

Feasibility and Acceptability of PREVAIL (PREserving Valued Activities In Life)
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the PREVAIL model of care is a feasible way to integrate rehabilitation into routine rheumatology care for adults with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The model of care consists of three essential components: a screening tool (Daily Activity and Participation Screen (DAPS)), a recommendation to the rheumatology clinician regarding rehabilitation referral and exercise, and an online exercise resource tailored for adults with RA. Participants will complete baseline assessments before their scheduled routine visit with a rheumatology clinician, attend their visit, receive their exercise and/or rehabilitation recommendation, and complete...

Feasibility of an Analgesic Device Enabling Local Anesthetic Delivery and Neuromodulation After Shoulder/Foot Surgery
Postoperative pain remains undertreated with inadequate analgesic options. Opioids have well-known limitations for both individuals and society; single-injection and continuous peripheral nerve blocks provide intense analgesia but are limited in duration to 24-72 hours; and current neuromodulation options-with a duration measured in weeks and not hours-are prohibitively expensive and require an additional procedure. One possible solution is a device currently under investigation to treat postoperative pain. The RELAY system (Gate Science, Moultonborough, New Hampshire) is comprised of a basic catheter-over-needle device to allow administration of a single-injection of...
