Understanding Patient Preferences When Deciding on a Voluntary Musculoskeletal Test

The goal of this clinical trial is to understand how people make decisions about imaging tests for common musculoskeletal problems (like arthritis, tendon problems, or nerve compression). The study involves adult patients attending a musculoskeletal specialty clinic. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does having a structured conversation about the pros and cons of a test affect how much a person wants to have that test? 2. Does that conversation help people feel more confident and less conflicted about their decision? Researchers will compare patients who have a values-based discussion with a researcher to those who receive brief written information about the test, to see if these approaches affect how people feel about having the test. Participants will: * Read a brief scenario about a proposed diagnostic imaging test (like an X-ray, MRI, CT, or ultrasound). * Either take part in a short structured conversation or read brief information about the test. * Answer a short survey about their thoughts on the test. This study does not involve actual medical testing or affect your clinical care. It is for research purposes only.

A Real-world Long-term Safety and Immunogenicity Study of Olipudase Alfa Therapy in Pediatric Patients Less Than 2 Years of Age With Acid Sphingomyelinase Deficiency (ASMD)

US, multicenter, cohort, open label observational study with primary data collection. Ancillary protocol-specified procedures to address the study objectives (eg, assessment of ADA) may be considered outside the standard of care for acid sphingomyelinase deficiency (ASMD), but the study methodology remains non-interventional, as the additional collection of data from participants will not dictate treatment. The total overall study duration will be 5 years. The follow-up period will be a minimum of 1 year to a maximum of 3 years. The enrollment period will be up to 4 years, to allow a minimum of 1 year of follow-up for the last participant enrolled.

Impact of Primary Language on Treatment and Outcomes in Inflammatory Bowel Disease

A thorough discussion of treatment options to manage inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including the risks and benefits of each class of medication, can be a complex discussion and time consuming. Having to use a translator adds an additional layer of time and complexity to these discussions as well as potential misunderstanding. Further, in addition to language, cultural differences can also play into treatment acceptance. This study aims to determine the impact of primary language on the selection of treatment for IBD and on disease outcomes.

Multi-Center Registry for Peripheral Arterial Disease Interventions and Outcomes

XLPAD is an observational study designed to evaluate the effectiveness and use of stent and non-stent based therapies among PAD patients. The study will create a registry that will include entry of procedural and clinical follow-up information into an online data collection software, REDCAP.Data available since Jan 1 2005 will be included in the registry, until 14,000 patients have been included. The primary objectives of this observational registry study are to: 1. Compare stent and non-stent based outcomes defined as a composite of symptom driven target vessel revascularization (TVR), unplanned surgical revascularization of the target limb and need for target limb amputation through 12 months post-index procedure (Primary efficacy endpoint) 2. Compare stent and non-stent based outcomes defined as a composite of causes such as: death, myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, peri-procedural complications, target vessel revascularization (TVR) and unplanned surgical revascularization/amputation of the target limb through 12 months (Primary safety endpoint) 3. Compare stent and non-stent based change in walking distance, Rutherford category and/or ankle- brachial index (ABI) at 12 months compared to baseline (Primary clinical improvement endpoint) Approximately 14,000patients will be enrolled at approximately 60 sites worldwide. Enrollment in the observational study will be monitored in an effort to achieve at least 20% (and no more than 80%) of the population receiving stents as the initial treatment strategy. Follow-up visits by sites will be reported at 6 and 12 months after index procedure to collect data on treatment patterns and effectiveness, and outcomes. The follow-up procedures are not mandated by the registry protocol. Each site will be encouraged to enter follow-up information derived from clinically indicated follow-up visits. All events post-index procedure till the 7th month will be reported under the 6 month follow-up form and subsequent follow-up till the 13th month post-procedure will be entered on the 12 month follow-up form. Patient management and treatment decisions are at the discretion of the care team per routine clinical practice. The procedural aspects (including selection of stent type or non-stent based treatments) and follow-up are not mandated by the registry and will be up to the discretion of the operator and/or based upon the practice dictated by the clinical care of the patient. Therefore the study poses minimal risk to the patient.

Testing an AI Large Language Model Tool for Cognitive Debiasing in Musculoskeletal Care

The goal of this clinical trial is to find out whether using an artificial intelligence (AI) tool called a Large Language Model (LLM) can help patients think more clearly about their symptoms and improve their trust and experience during a visit to a musculoskeletal specialist. The study will answer two main questions: 1. Does an LLM-guided checklist that encourages patients to reflect on their beliefs about their symptoms improve their trust in the clinician (measured using the TRECS-7 scale)? 2. Does the checklist improve how patients feel about their consultation overall? Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: * One group will receive an LLM-guided checklist that helps them think more flexibly about their condition. * The other group will receive an LLM-generated likely diagnosis and brief explanation of their symptoms. In both groups, the information from the AI tool will be shared with both the patient and the clinician before the consultation. Patients in the debiasing (intervention) group will: * Complete a short set of questions with help from a researcher * Receive a simple summary from the AI that reflects their beliefs and gently challenges any unhelpful thinking * Attend their regular specialist appointment * Complete a short survey afterwards capturing their thoughts, experience and basic demographics Patients in the diagnosis-only (control) group will: * Describe their symptoms to the AI LLM * Receive a likely diagnosis and short explanation based on this description * Attend their regular specialist appointment * Complete a short survey afterwards capturing their thoughts, experience and basic demographics

Pediatric Prehospital Airway Resuscitation Trial

This study is a Phase 3, multi-center, Bayesian Adaptive Sequential Platform Trial testing the effectiveness of different prehospital airway management strategies in the care of critically ill children. Emergency Medical Services (EMS) agencies affiliated with the Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network (PECARN) will participate in the trial. The study interventions are strategies of prehospital airway management: [BVM-only], [BVM followed by SGA] and [BVM followed by ETI]. The primary outcome is 30-day ICU-free survival. The trial will be organized and executed in two successive stages. In Stage I of the trial, EMS personnel will alternate between two strategies: [BVM-only] or [BVM followed by SGA]. The [winner of Stage I] will advance to Stage II based upon results of Bayesian interim analyses. In Stage II of the trial, EMS personnel will alternate between [BVM followed by ETI] vs. [Winner of Stage I].

Closed-Loop Brain Stimulation as a Potential Intervention for Cognitive Decline

The goal of this clinical study is to investigate the effectiveness of non-invasive stimulation to enhance cognitive control abilities in cognitively healthy adults and older adults diagnosed with mild cognitive disorder (MCI). The main questions it aims to answer are: * whether it is possible to restore various cognitive functions in older adults diagnosed with MCI by delivering theta burst stimulation (TBS), a form of transcranial magnetic stimulation, and * whether closed-loop TBS is able to induce therapeutic benefits that outperform open-loop TBS. Participants play a cognitive video game while a brain-computer interface (BCI) analyzes their electroencephalogram (EEG) signals and decodes the presence or absence of the contingent negative variation (CNV) potential, a marker of cognitive control. The BCI triggers TBS when its outputs indicate that the participant is not engaged properly in the video game. Researchers will compare the effects of sham, closed-loop, and open-loop TBS using the outcome metrics described below to see how much cognitive restorations is achievable with each stimulation modality.
