Background: Hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) is a blood disorder that causes high levels of white blood cells called eosinophils. HES can damage the lungs and airways, intestines, skin, and other organs. The current primary treatment for HES can cause serious side effects. Secondary treatments do not work in all people. Objective: To test an approved drug (dupilumab), combined with other drugs, in people with HES. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older who take drugs (mepolizumab, reslizumab, or benralizumab) to treat HES. Design: Participants will have up to 6 clinic visits and 7 remote visits in up to 48 weeks. Participants will be screened. They will have blood and urine tests. They will have a test of their heart function. They will take surveys about how HES affects their daily life. Some participants may have a bone marrow biopsy: A sample of tissue and fluid from inside a bone will be removed with a large needle. Participants will have other tests specific to their symptoms. For example, those with symptoms affecting their lungs will have breathing tests. Others may have tests that target symptoms in their sinuses, gastrointestinal tract, or skin. Dupilumab is injected under the skin once every 1 or 2 weeks. Dose and timing will vary among participants. They will be taught how to inject themselves at home between clinic visits. They will take dupilumab plus their current medications for 24 weeks. If the drug is helping them, they will continue taking it for another 24 weeks. Participants will have a final visit 12 weeks after their last dose.

Background: Noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS) may help diagnose and treat psychiatric and neurological illness. But there is not enough research on how to apply NIBS. This includes how strong to make it, where on the brain to apply it, and for how long. Researchers also want to see what the brain is doing when it receives NIBS. Objective: To increase the effectiveness of NIBS. Eligibility: Healthy native English speakers ages 18-65 Design: Participants will be screened under another protocol with: Medical and psychiatric history Psychiatric evaluation Physical exam Urine tests All participants will start with a 2-hour visit for screening. (see below). They may learn how to do tasks that will be used later. After the screening session, they will be scheduled for an MRI session. The next part of the study is 4 substudies. Each substudy includes up to 4 sessions. A session is usually 2-3 hours but can last up to 8 hours. Participants can join multiple substudies, but only 1 at a time. They can do only 1 session on a given day. Each substudy includes the following: Behavioral tests: Interviews; questionnaires; simple tasks; and tests of memory, attention, and thinking Electromyography: Small sticky electrodes on the skin measure muscle activity. Transcranial magnetic stimulation: A wire coil is held to the scalp. A brief electrical current passes through the coil and affects brain activity. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): Participants lie on a table that slides into a machine that takes pictures of the brain. A coil is placed over the head. They will perform simple tasks while in the scanner. They may also get TMS. Electroencephalography: Small electrodes on the scalp record brain waves. Sponsoring Institution: National Institute of M

Background: Researchers are testing version of a system known as a magnetic resonance imagining (MRI) scanner that uses strong magnetic fields, radio waves and the like to create images of the organs in the body. It uses lower energy levels than other MRI scanners. This may help scan people with metal devices in their body, or in invasive heart procedures using metal tools. Objective: To test a new MRI scanner and software changes to create better pictures. Eligibility: People with disease and healthy volunteers, ages 18 and older. Design: Participants will be screened with blood tests. Participants may have both the new MRI and a conventional MRI or only the new one. If 2 are done, they must be within 60 days. For both MRI versions, participants lie on a table that slides into a large tube. During scans, they will hold their breath for up to 20 seconds at a time. Heart activity will be measured by wires connected to pads on the skin. A flexible belt may be used to monitor their breathing. They will be in the scanner up to 2 hours. Participants can agree to have a dye called gadolinium injected into their arm during the scan. This brightens the pictures. Participants can agree to take a drug called a vasodilator. This helps detect areas of the heart with abnormal blood supply. Scans of the heart are taken before, during, and after they get the medicine. The drug may cause temporary chest pain or shortness of breath. They may get other drugs to relieve these symptoms. Sponsoring Institution: National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute

Background: Spinocerebellar ataxia type 7 (SCA7) is a disease in which people have problems with coordination, balance, speech and vision. It is caused by a change in the ATXN7 gene. A mutation in this ATXN7 gene causes changes in eye cells, which can lead to vision loss. There is no cure for SCA7 but researchers are looking for possible treatments. Researchers need more information about SCA7. They want to collect vision and neurology related data from people with SCA7. They want to learn how and what changes in the eye and brain when the ATXN7 gene isn t working properly. Objective: To learn more about SCA7 and its progression. Eligibility: People ages 12 and older with SCA7. Design: Participants will be screened with medical history and genetic testing from a previous National Eye Institute study or their personal physician. Participants will have at least 7 visits over 5 years. They will have 2 visits during the first week of the study. Then they will be asked to come back every year for the next 5 years. Each visit will last several days and will include: - Medical and eye history - Several eye tests: some will include dilating the pupil with eye drops and taking photos or scans of the eyes. - Electroretinography (ERG): Participants will sit in the dark with their eyes patched for 30 minutes. After this, the patches will be removed and contact lenses put into the eyes. They will watch flashing lights and information will be recorded. - Neurological exams: Sensation, strength, coordination, reflexes, attention, memory, language, and other cognitive functions will be tested. - Brain MRI: They will lie in a machine that takes pictures of the brain. - Blood and urine tests - Optional skin biopsy: About 3 millimeters of skin will be removed for more research testing; this is half the size of a pencil eraser.

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. Cheek cell samples may be collected if blood cannot be obtained for DNA. Participants can choose to have or not have cancer screening with blood tests, imaging studies, and other exams. - Participants will complete questionnaires about their worries about cancer, stress levels, and coping strategies. Diet and physical activity questionnaires will also be given. Other psychological tests may be given as needed. - Participants will be monitored for several years, with regular followup visits to the National Institutes of Health, if indicated. Any changes in health or cancer status will be recorded.

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.
