This phase II trial evaluates the safety and effectiveness of giving immunotherapy (nivolumab and ipilimumab) before surgery for controlling disease in patients with stage I-IIIa sarcomatoid mesothelioma. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving immunotherapy before surgery may be more effective at controlling disease in patients with sarcomatoid mesothelioma than giving immunotherapy alone.

Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) is the most common type of arthritis that affects children. The term "idiopathic" means "of unknown origin". It is a chronic (long-lasting) disease that causes swelling, warmth, and pain of one or more small joints. Systemic JIA ia a rare and serious form of JIA. Systemic" means it may affect not only the joints but other parts of the body, including the liver, lungs and heart. sJIA is more severe and can be more challenging to diagnose and treat than other types of juvenile idiopathic arthritis. It is a lifelong disease for many patients and can continue into adulthood. This study will assess how safe and effective upadacitinib is in treating pediatric and adolescent participants aged 1 to < 18 with systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) and will include a tocilizumab treatment arm for reference. Adverse events and change in the disease activity will be assessed. Upadacitinib is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of sJIA. Participants are assigned to 1 of 2 cohorts. In cohort 1, participants will receive upadacitinib or tocilizumab reference. In cohort 2, participants will receive upadacitinib. Approximately 90 participants with sJIA will be enrolled in approximately 45 sites worldwide. Participants will receive upadacitinib oral tablets once daily or oral solution twice daily or tocilizumab subcutaneous injection or intravenous infusion as per local label for 52 weeks and followed for approximately 30 days. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits/calls during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.

This is a naturalistic treatment and follow-up study of youth with bipolar spectrum disorders (BSDs) across four US sites of The Childhood Bipolar Network (CBN). CBN sites have expertise in diagnosing, assessing, and treating BSDs in youth. The primary aims of this study are to (1) identify and reliably diagnose youth (ages 9 to 19 yrs) with full bipolar disorder (BD) and BSDs, and (2) examine predictors (e.g., mood instability, inflammatory marker C-reactive protein) of clinical outcome over a 12 month period. Participating youth will initially complete a screening that includes a structured diagnostic interview and a baseline blood draw to measure inflammatory processes. Youth with BSD and parents (80 families) will be asked to participate in multiple follow up research visits with interviews, rating instruments, and questionnaires. Per established CBN guidelines, study psychiatrists will provide and track medication management and sites will also track psychosocial treatments. This study ultimately aims to further understanding of best practice pediatric BSD psychiatric and psychosocial treatments and development of a standardized and validated set of clinical tools for patient assessment, diagnosis, and tracking.

The researchers are doing this study to test the safety of combining bexarotene with TSEB radiotherapy in people who have a common form of CTCL called mycosis fungoides (MF). Bexarotene is a form of vitamin A that activates proteins called retinoid X receptors, which may stop the growth of cancer cells and kill them. TSEB radiotherapy is a type of radiation therapy that treats the entire surface of the skin with very low doses of radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. This type of radiation does not pass through the outer layers of the skin into the tissues and organs below the skin. The study researchers think that giving bexarotene treatment at the same time as treatment with TSEB radiotherapy may be more effective against MF than either treatment given alone or in sequence (one after the other).

This study is open to adults with advanced cancer (solid tumors) and people with advanced head and neck cancer. The study has 2 parts. The purpose of Part 1 of this study is to find the highest dose of a medicine called BI 765179 that people with solid tumors can tolerate when taken alone or together with a medicine called ezabenlimab. The goal of Part 2 is to find out whether BI 765179 in combination with a medicine called pembrolizumab helps people with advanced head and neck cancer. In Part 1, each participant is put into 1 of 2 groups. Participants get BI 765179 alone or in combination with ezabenlimab as infusion into a vein every 3 weeks. In Part 2, participants are also divided into 2 groups. 1 group gets a low dose of BI 765179 in combination with pembrolizumab and the other group gets a high dose of BI 765179 in combination with pembrolizumab. Participants receive the study treatment as infusions into a vein. BI 765179, ezabenlimab, and pembrolizumab are antibodies that may help the immune system fight cancer. In this study, BI 765179 is given to people for the first time. Participants can stay in the study up to 2 years if they benefit from treatment and can tolerate it. The doctors regularly check the participants' health and note any health problems that could have been caused by the study treatment.

The sex gap in alcohol consumption is closing rapidly, due to alarming increases among women. From 2002-2013, Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) increased 84% for women, compared to 35% for men. As such, there is an urgent need to determine the factors underlying sex differences in risk for AUD. Current addiction models propose three domains that drive problematic alcohol use and serve as candidate sex-specific risk factors: executive function, negative emotionality, and incentive salience. Data suggest that poor inhibitory control, a key component of executive function, is a stronger risk factor for women than for men. Moreover, there is have preliminary evidence that female drinkers show less engagement of neural inhibitory circuitry, and that this sex difference is influenced by estradiol. However, the degree to which hormonally-moderated sex differences in executive function extend to the negative emotionality and incentive salience domains, and how these sex differences influence current and future drinking is unknown. The goal of this study is to identify the mechanisms underlying sex-specific risk for AUD, and ultimately to help develop sex-specific prevention and treatment efforts. The overall objective of this trial is to determine the neural and hormonal factors contributing to sex-specific risk for AUD in three addiction domains: inhibitory control (executive function), negative emotionality, and alcohol cue reactivity (incentive salience).

There are few treatment options available for patients once they have failed standard psychopharmacological therapy for generalized anxiety disorder. Existing brain stimulation methods such as rTMS fail to target deep brain structures associated with anxiety disorders; structures such as the amygdala. In this double-blind sham-controlled clinical trial, the investigators propose to establish baseline severity of anxiety in 48 patients, then deliver eight treatments over four sessions of focused ultrasound stimulation to the amygdala. Anxiety severity will be assessed using standard psychometric scales after each session, and at follow-ups.

This study is being conducted to determine the length of time a urinary catheter is needed to drain urine from the bladder after colorectal surgery. Urinary retention is a well known complication after pelvic colorectal surgery, and current practice is to continue urinary catheterization for 3- days following pelvic colorectal surgery in an effort to avoid this complication. However, prolonged urinary catheterization is associated with increased risk of urinary tract infections as well as longer hospital stays. The investigators hypothesize that postoperative urinary catheters may be safely removed on postoperative day 1 without increased urinary retention rates. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether a shorter duration of urinary catheterization (1 day) is non-inferior when compared to standard duration (3 days) in regards to postoperative urinary retention. The investigators plan to perform a prospective, randomized, non-inferiority trial comparing the urinary catheter duration of 1 day and 3 days with the primary endpoint of postoperative urinary retention. Secondary endpoints are urinary tract infection and length of hospital stay. The participants will be randomly assigned to the control group (catheter removal on postoperative day 3) or the experimental group (catheter removal on postoperative day 1).
