The aim of this study is to determine the clinical spectrum and natural progression of Spastic Ataxias (SPAX) and related disorders in a prospective multicenter natural history study, identify digital, imaging and molecular biomarkers that can assist in diagnosis and therapy development and study the genetic etiology and molecular mechanisms of these diseases.

The primary goal will be to compare the early postoperative recovery outcomes and complications from a series of surgical treatments for massive or irreparable rotator cuff tears. The secondary goal will be to assess factors that impact the outcomes of these reconstructions for irreparable posterosuperior rotator cuff tears.

This is a randomized controlled trial to compare survival for patients who undergoe robotic assisted laparoscopy versus open hysterectomy and lymph node assessment for the treatment of early stage cervical cancer.

The proposed study is a pilot study that aims to understand if the Pi Electronics adaptive music intervention (AM) is effective to promote positive psychosocial and cognitive outcomes, over and above a traditional music intervention (TM) among healthy older adults. This study will contribute to the ongoing literature on the benefits of music interventions and provide insight on how emerging technology can enhance the therapeutic effects of music as a viable intervention for older adults. The study will adopt a three-arm randomized controlled trial (RCT). Eligible participants will be randomized into one of three groups: traditional music therapy group (TM), Pi Electronic's adaptive music program (AM), and a waitlist control group (CG). Informed consent will be collected from all participants. All three groups will complete outcome measures at three sessions: pretest, posttest, and at a three-month follow-up, but only the TM and AM group will receive music between the pretest and posttest sessions, spanning for 4 weeks, with 4 music therapy sessions per week, and each session lasting 30 minutes. Data will be analyzed for each outcome variables to understand the group differences in the performance on the psychosocial and cognitive outcome measures. The study will also validate the Pi Electronics EEG headset with the BioSemi, 64-channel EEG system.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of an online psychosocial self-help program for Chinese immigrant women with breast cancer, by comparing Chinese immigrant women who receive the online psychosocial program and those who do not receive the program. The investigators want to understand if this online psychosocial program is effective in helping Chinese immigrant women to feel more supported, understand that the distress is normal, engage in self-care activities, become aware of the community resources, feel more confident about returning to a normal life, and feel less distress overall as they return to life after treatment. This information will help us to better understand these Chinese immigrant women's needs and concerns and plan future growth of the program to meet their personal, cultural, and language needs.

The goal of this feasibility trial is to determine the feasibility and acceptability of implementing a brief evidence-based psychotherapeutic intervention, Managing Cancer And Living Meaningfully (CALM), at the time of a new diagnosis and recurrence of ovarian cancer (OC). The main questions are: 1. Is it feasible and acceptable to implement CALM for patients with newly diagnosed or recently recurred advanced OC 2. What are the prevalence and correlates of traumatic stress symptoms at baseline in patients with newly diagnosed or recently recurred advanced OC Participants will be asked to complete questionnaires at baseline and at 3 and 6 months following a diagnosis or recurrence of stage III or IV OC. Participants will also be invited to participate in 3-6 sessions of CALM therapy.

Shortness of breath (dyspnea) during exercise is a major source of distress and is a commonly reported symptom in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). A recent drug treatment option known as Trikafta, which contains elexacaftor, tezacaftor, and ivacaftor, may be used in patients with CF to help improve lung health. However, the effects of this combination therapy on dyspnea and exercise performance, a known predictor of survival in CF, are not clear. The investigators aim to understand the effects of Trikafta on these symptoms and to gain new insight into the potential health improvements in CF from using this treatment option.

In this study, two treatments typically used for dry eye disease will be tried for contact lens users to see if their symptoms when they use their contact lenses get better. Cyclosporine is a drop that is used for long-term management of the inflammation and Intense pulsed light (IPL) is a treatment done in a clinic to improve the health of the eyelid glands. The main question in this study is: Does the combined treatment of cyclosporine and IPL improve the symptoms and the dry eye signs of contact lens wearers? All the participants will receive the cyclosporine drops for 4 months twice a day. The research team will split the group of participants in two, half receiving the real IPL treatment and half receiving a sham IPL treatment during the last two months of the study. This will allow to compare the two groups to see how IPL helped. The dry eye tests will be done at the start of the study, after two months and after 4 months. The tests will include a dry eye symptoms questionnaire, measures on the tears, the structures of the front of the eye and the eyelids.

The goal of this 2x2 factorial clinical trial is to test the efficacy of i) colchicine, and ii) thiamine in heart failure (HF) secondary to ischemic heart disease. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does colchicine reduce the risk of cardiovascular (CV) death, a HF event, or an ischemic CV event * Does thiamine reduce the risk of cardiovascular (CV) death, or a HF event Participants will undergo the following procedures: * Run-in: All participants will receive colchicine 0.5 mg daily to assess drug tolerance over a 3-4 week period. * Randomization: If colchicine is tolerated during run-in, eligible participants will be randomized in a 2x2 factorial design to receive i) colchicine 0.5mg daily or placebo, and ii) thiamine 300mg daily or no thiamine. * Follow-up: Clinical outcomes, side effects, adverse events, and drug adherence will be captured during follow-up

Medical advances have allowed many more children and youth with medical complexity (CMC) to survive well into adulthood. However, this has not been matched with increases in knowledge of complex conditions or the availability of supports as they transition into the adult care system. The goal of this randomized control trial is to compare intensive transition support from a transition team, led by an advance practice nurse, during transition to adult care for 2 years, with usual care in CMC. Participants assigned to the intervention group will be offered support in care planning, receiving funding, and connecting with a primary care provider and adult subspecialists. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does intensive transition support improve the patient's continuity of care over 2 years compared with usual care? 2. Will there be differences between intervention and control groups with respect to other outcomes related to the youth/family's satisfaction with care, care coordination, self-care, health service utilization, cost-effectiveness, and quality of life? 3. What are the experiences of youth, parents, the transition team, and other clinicians involved in the intensive transition support process?
