Researchers want to know if the study treatment called MK-2214 works to slow certain changes in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease (AD). AD is a type of dementia that can cause loss of memory, communication (such as speech), and decision-making skills. It can limit a person's ability to do daily tasks. MK-2214 is a study treatment designed to slow down AD. The goals of the study are to learn: - If MK-2214 slows the spread of tau in the brain compared to placebo. Tau is a protein that accumulates in AD & damages brain cells. A placebo looks like the study treatment but has no study treatment in it. Using a placebo helps researchers better understand the effects of a study treatment. - About the safety of MK-2214 and if people tolerate it

The Impact of Deep Brain Stimulation on Speech and Swallow Function in Parkinson Disease

Nearly one-million people in North America are now living with Parkinson's disease (PD), and that number is projected to rise to nearly 1.2 million by 2030. With advancements in neuromodulatory technologies, increasingly more of these individuals elect to undergo deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery in order to control symptoms of the disease, including refractory tremor, medication-induced dyskinesias, and PD-associated dystonia. The two most common DBS neural targets for controlling these symptoms are the globus pallidus internal segment (GPi) and the subthalamic nucleus (STN). Recent meta-analyses have shown relative equivalence between these two sites at controlling core PD symptoms. To date, there is not conclusive evidence regarding the potential impact of DBS to GPi or STN on laryngeal-mediated functions of voice, swallowing, and cough, and consequently no guidance on whether these outcomes should be considered when selecting DBS target. Therefore, the goal of this project is to determine the impact of DBS neural target (STN versus GPi), lead location within the target, laterality, and stimulation settings on voice, swallow and cough function in people with PD. The larynx is an important player in each of these functions, and our central hypothesis is that spread of stimulation to corticobulbar fibers in the genu of the internal capsule have deleterious effects on laryngeal motor control, resulting in voice, swallow, and cough dysfunction. We have identified three specific aims for this application: 1.) To compare laryngeal function during volitional voice tasks pre-post DBS, and when DBS placement is bilateral versus unilateral for STN and GPi targets. 2.) To compare laryngeal function during volitional and induced cough tasks pre-post DBS, and when DBS placement is bilateral versus unilateral for STN and GPi targets. 3.) To compare airway safety associated with laryngeal onset, degree, and duration of maximum closure during swallowing, pre-post DBS, and when DBS placement is bilateral versus unilateral for STN and GPi targets. These hypotheses were developed based on compelling published and unpublished preliminary data. We will accomplish these aims by enrolling people with PD who are being considered for DBS surgery. We will measure physiologic, functional, and quality of life parameters of voice, swallow and cough pre- and post-surgically. The realization of the proposed aims is significant because it will address a substantial gap in our understanding of DBS outcomes related to communication and airway protection, which are important in terms of morbidity, mortality, and quality of life for patients with PD. The translational potential to provide additional guidance to DBS surgical teams regarding whether voice, swallow or cough functions should be considered with selecting DBS target and/or laterality is high. Ultimately, the project fits squarely within the overarching goal of the research team to deliver the best possible care to people with PD.

Background: Hereditary hematopoietic malignancy (HHM) syndromes are a group of inherited disorders that raises the risk of blood cancers. Many people with HHMs have changes in a gene (DDX41) that makes it more likely that they will develop myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), or other cancers. This natural history study will explore the link between HHM syndromes and these diseases. Objective: To study the link between HHM and MDS/AML. Eligibility: People aged 1 month and older with HHM. Relatives with HHM are also needed. Design: Participants aged 3 years and older will have 1 initial clinic visit with the option to follow-up annually. They will undergo these procedures: They will have a physical exam with blood and urine tests. They may give samples of saliva, stool, nails, and skin. Their ability to do normal activities will be reviewed. Some may have a bone marrow biopsy: A tissue sample will be drawn from inside a bone. They may answer questions about their health and family medical history. Participants younger than 3 years, and those who cannot come to the clinic, will be contacted by phone or email. Their samples may be collected locally and sent to researchers. For participants who have changes in their DDX41 gene: Researchers will contact them or their primary care provider once a year for 10 years. Researchers will check on participants health and collect any new test results. Some may be asked to send new samples. Participants who do not have changes in their DDX41 gene may be contacted yearly, or less often, for 10 years. Some participants may be asked to return to the clinic if needed.

Neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD), also known as "wet" AMD, is the abnormal growth of new blood vessels in the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye called the retina. The purpose of this study is to assess how safe and effective Surabgene Lomparvovec is in treating participants with Neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). Surabgene Lomparvovec (ABBV-RGX-314) is an investigational gene therapy being developed for the treatment of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). Participants will be placed into 1 of 3 groups, called treatment arms. Each group receives different treatment. Adult participants aged 50 and older years with a diagnosis of previously treated nAMD will be enrolled. Around 561 participants will be enrolled in the study at approximately 150 sites worldwide. Participants in groups 1 and 2 will receive a single subretinal dose of ABBV-RGX-314. Participants in group 3 will receive Ranibizumab as needed throughout the study. Ranibizumab will be given as an intravitreal injection (injection into the jelly-like tissue that fills the eyeball injection), and ABBV-RGX-314 will be given as a subretinal (between the retina and the back of the eye) injection. The Assessment Period begins after randomization (1:1:1) to one of the ABBV-RGX-314 treatment groups or control at Week -2 and lasts up to 5 years. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular monthly visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.

This pilot study aims to explore the potential benefits of consuming Greek bottarga (grey mullet fish roe) in individuals with at least one metabolic abnormality (low HDL cholesterol, high LDL cholesterol, high triglycerides, obesity, or HbA1c ≥ 5.7%) or a diagnosis of diabetes. Before initiating the crossover randomized controlled trial (RCT), the investigators will conduct a preliminary dose-testing study in five adults with at least one metabolic abnormality. Participants will undergo clinical assessments before and after the dietary intervention to evaluate changes in metabolic health markers. Following this phase, the investigators will proceed with a randomized, controlled crossover trial involving 20 eligible adult participants. This main study phase will compare the metabolic effects of daily bottarga supplementation with those of a calorically matched dairy product over an 8-week intervention period, with a 2-week washout period between interventions. The investigators anticipate that bottarga supplementation will improve lipid profiles, inflammation markers, and insulin resistance, thereby supporting the potential use of sustainable blue foods as part of a healthy diet.
