Metabolic flexibility is the ability to properly switch between fat and carbohydrate stores to use for energy under different conditions (rest, feeding, exercise). Impairments in metabolic flexibility, also known as metabolic inflexibility, have been suggested to be an underlying cause of metabolic disease, like type 2 diabetes. Long-term low fluid intake may increase the risk of type 2 diabetes due to insulin resistance, a form of metabolic inflexibility. Further, low fluid intake has been shown to impair the ability to switch fuel preference during exercise. While there is some evidence that low fluid intake may lead to impaired metabolic flexibility, more information is needed. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of hydration status on substrate preference at rest and during exercise at varying intensities (light and moderate). Further, we will examine whether biological sex and menstrual cycle phase impact hydration and metabolism under these same conditions.

The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to test the feasibility of conducting a randomized controlled trial that will examine the use of ropivacaine in the spinal anesthesia for patients undergoing elective 1- or 2-level lower spine surgery. This study aims to: * Determine the rates of eligibility, recruitment, consent, and attrition * Determine the acceptability among patients, surgeons, anesthesiologists, and nurses of doing spine surgery under spinal anesthesia * Gather preliminary data on outcomes relevant to a future dose-finding study Participants will be randomized to one of three treatment groups: * General anesthesia with endotracheal tube * Spinal anesthesia with bupivacaine * Spinal anesthesia with ropivacaine

This study will look at how much cagrilintide helps people with overweight or obesity and type 2 diabetes lower their body weight. Cagrilintide is a new investigational medicine. Doctors may not yet prescribe cagrilintide. Participant will either get cagrilintide or placebo. Which treatment participant get is decided by chance. Participants are two times more likely to get cagrilintide than placebo. Like all medicines, the study medicine may have side effects. For each participant, the study will last for about 1 year and 6 months.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate efficacy of danicopan as add-on treatment to ravulizumab or eculizumab as assessed by hemoglobin (Hgb) change from Baseline at Week 12 in pediatric participants with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) and clinically significant extravascular hemolysis (CS-EVH).

This randomized controlled trial will investigate the hypothesis that since balance and executive functions (EFs) require a similar neural circuit and EFs are recruited when trying to maintain balance, that training balance might improve EFs as well as balance. There will be an active control condition (watching music videos) and a no-treatment condition. Children (18-12 years old) will be randomly assigned to one of these conditions for 12 weeks (36 per condition). The balance and music conditions will involve 15-min sessions 3x/week and a weekly check-in session with an investigator. Participants will be assessed pre-intervention, immediately post and 3-months post.

Families of children with arthritis are highly interested in the benefits of diet to improve their child's disease and future health outcomes. Previous research shows that the germs - bacteria and other organisms - that live in the intestines (gut microbiome) are important to how well immune systems work, and that what people eat changes their gut microbiome. The investigators want to study whether a certain diet - based on the principles of the Mediterranean Diet - will improve arthritis for children and whether it was changes in the microbiome that led to improvement. Fifty-four participants in this study will change their diet for an 8-week period, and will have the option of remaining on the diet for an additional 4 weeks. At three time points during the study (beginning, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks), participants will provide stool and blood samples, will complete questionnaires about diet and other aspects of lifestyle and health, and will complete a disease assessment by a clinician. From collecting all these samples and information, the investigators will be able to determine if the diet was successful in improving disease activity in children with arthritis and if the gut microbiome was changed as well. This study will help the investigators figure out if a larger, and more definitive, study like this is possible to do in children with arthritis and will help the investigators design a bigger multinational study to confirm how diet affects disease outcomes and the microbiome in children with arthritis. If successful, this research will provide scientific knowledge to help families make their way through this difficult to- navigate topic.
