Background: Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a disease that causes scarring in parts of the kidneys that filter waste. This can lead to protein loss in the urine, which can worsen kidney function. The kidneys may fail over time, and dialysis or a kidney transplant may be needed. Other treatments for this disease do not always work and often have adverse effects. Better treatments for FSGS are needed. Objective: To test a study drug (ManNAc) in people with FSGS. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with FSGS. Design: Participants will have 5 to 6 clinic visits over 14 weeks. Two of the visits will require overnight stays for 2 or 3 nights. ManNAc is a white powder that comes in a sachet. It is dissolved in water and taken twice a day by mouth. Participants will take their first dose at the clinic. They will learn how to store ManNAc and prepare each dose. They will record their doses in a diary. They will also write down any adverse effects or troubles they have using the drug at home. During clinic visits, participants will have physical exams with blood and urine tests. They will complete questionnaires about their health, sleep habits, and fatigue symptoms. During overnight visits, participants will also have 24-hour urine collection. A study team member will call participants 1 week after the first dose to check on their health. Follow-up phone calls will then be every 2 weeks after each clinic visit. Participants may meet with a dietitian to discuss nutrition while taking the ManNAc. Participants may choose to have genetic tests.

Background: - Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) is a genetic condition that increases the risk for some types of cancer. LFS may lead to cancer of the bone or connective tissue, breast, and brain. It may also increase the risk for certain types of leukemia and other cancers. The only known cause of LFS is a change (called a mutation ) in a gene known as TP53. However, not all people with LFS have a TP53 mutation. Researchers want to study other possible genetic causes of LFS, and factors that may increase or decrease cancer risk in people with the syndrome. Objectives: - To learn more about the types of cancers that occur in individuals with LFS. - To study the role of the TP53 gene in the development of cancer. - To look for other possible genes that cause LFS - To study the effect of LFS diagnosis on families. - To determine if environmental factors or other genes can change a person s cancer risk associated with LFS. Eligibility: - Individuals with a family or personal medical history of cancers consistent with LFS. - Individuals with a family or personal medical history of cancers that does not meet the diagnosis of LFS, but the history is suggestive for LFS (meets the diagnosis for the so-called Li-Fraumeni like syndrome) - Individuals with certain rare cancers - Individuals with a family or personal history of a TP53 gene mutation, with or without related cancer(s). Design: - Participants will fill out a medical history questionnaire and a family history questionnaire. - Blood samples will be collected for DNA and for storage.

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remains a highly lethal cancer worldwide, largely due to late diagnosis. Current screening methods such as upper endoscopy are invasive, operator-dependent, and limited in their ability to detect early-stage lesions. To address this clinical need, the SYNERGY study seeks to develop a non-invasive, blood-based biomarker assay that integrates cell-free microRNAs (cf-miRNAs) and exosomal microRNAs (exo-miRNAs) to detect ESCC at an early and potentially curable stage. This multicenter translational study includes discovery, training, and validation phases using preoperative plasma or serum samples. By combining the tumor specificity of exosomal miRNAs with the systemic sensitivity of cf-miRNAs, SYNERGY aims to construct a robust diagnostic model with high sensitivity and specificity for early ESCC detection.

Cognitive Strategies in Early Psychosis 1
University of Minnesota Cognition Healthy Participants
The goal of this clinical is to learn more about decision making in psychosis spectrum disorders, like schizophrenia. The investigators will ask people who do not have psychosis to take a single dose of modafinil and then complete some brain games on the computer that measure decision making. They1 expand

The goal of this clinical is to learn more about decision making in psychosis spectrum disorders, like schizophrenia. The investigators will ask people who do not have psychosis to take a single dose of modafinil and then complete some brain games on the computer that measure decision making. They hope to improve our understanding of psychosis to help people in the future. The main research questions are: Does a single dose of modafinil change how people play the brain games? Does a single dose of modafinil change brain activity? Participants will: Complete an interview and self-report questionnaires. Complete safety screening activities, like a blood draw, a urine drug test, and an alcohol breathalyzer test. Take a single dose of modafinil. Complete brain games while wearing an electroencephalography (EEG) cap, before and after taking the single dose of modafinil. EEG measures electrical activity in the brain.

Role of Alpha-to-beta Cell Communication to Adapt Insulin Secretion to Insulin Resistance.
David D'Alessio, M.D. Diabetes (DM)
Glucagon secretion from α-cells has long been viewed as primarily a counterregulatory mechanism - e.g. an agent with a role to prevent blood sugar from decreasing to levels that compromise function. Our group, along with other researchers, have begun to identify a much more complex role for α-cells1 expand

Glucagon secretion from α-cells has long been viewed as primarily a counterregulatory mechanism - e.g. an agent with a role to prevent blood sugar from decreasing to levels that compromise function. Our group, along with other researchers, have begun to identify a much more complex role for α-cells, raising questions about when and how glucagon may influence blood glucose levels. This proposal looks to detail proglucagon peptide secretion from α-cells and the impact this has on β-cell function and glucose tolerance, in preclinical studies of human islets and translational studies in human subjects. This protocol registration describes Aim 2 from this NIH grant which involves 2 study populations and separate protocols but addresses a common question. Aim 3 in the grant is focused on a separate hypothesis and will be conducted and published separately from Aim 2.
