Primary Immune Regulatory Disorders (PIRD disorders) are a group of diseases that cause the immune system to function abnormally and cause infections, autoimmunity or inflammation that can begin early in life. PIRD is usually caused by changes in genes in DNA. Researchers are trying to learn what types of medical problems patients with PIRD have and how these respond to treatment. Researchers also want to learn which genes cause PIRD and how it can cause the medical problems of PIRD.

The purpose of this study is to measure the compliance, usability, and satisfaction of an at-home, multi-modal stimulation device in a diverse population of people with chronic lower back pain (cLBP) compared to a group of participants who are engaging in integrative health practices. The multi-modal device will include a combination of electrical stimulation, auditory stimulation, and integrative-health techniques, including mindfulness breathing, health coaching, and reflective journaling. The multi-modal device creation is based on prior knowledge in lower back pain treatment, which includes electrical stimulation of the back (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator or TENS) and integrative health modalities. Findings from this usability pilot study could help refine the approach and the multi-modal device for a future intervention study in cLBP participants.

We are investigating how paired non-invasive electrical stimulation of surface body regions and sound changes sound perception and tinnitus. Body stimulation regions include: external ear/behind the ear, shoulder, neck, forearm, hand, and upper arm. We aim to better understand the optimal conditions of this paired stimulation, which opens opportunities for applying this method to improving hearing loss or tinnitus. We are studying three groups of people: those with normal hearing, those with mild to moderate hearing loss, and those with tinnitus.

This study is to investigate if robotic assisted laparoscopy (small incision surgery), is worse than open surgery (otherwise known as a laparotomy) when performing a radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer. Previous research has been done and shown that patients receiving laparoscopy had an increased risk of recurrence of their cervical cancer. But since that time a lot has been learned and improvements have been made, hence why we are relooking at the differences between the two surgical approaches.

This study will help to identify challenges and barriers to self-performing anal cancer screening tests, and may identify unique ways to make this form of screening easier, more cost-effective, and more frequently performed. We believe that it has the potential to minimize the frequency of both disease and death from anal cancer among high-risk patient groups.

The purpose of this study is to find out if the drug letrozole is better or worse than not receiving treatment (called observation) following surgery for your type of cancer. Letrozole could prevent your cancer from returning but the cancer could grow while on treatment. There is currently no definitive data to support the use of Letrozole treatment for early stage Leiomyosarcoma. Letrozole has already been FDA-approved to treat other cancers, but it is investigational in this research.
