We will recruit 10 patients with OCD meeting established criteria for surgical evaluation. Following informed consent and baseline evaluations, each will be implanted with permanent DBS SenSight leads and the Medtronic Percept RC IPG, which has on-device neural recording capability and rechargeability. We will collect a broad array of neurobehavioral data across two environments with complementary advantages: the clinic and the home. The first 2 Aims test our mechanistic hypothesis by studying the pattern of VS neural activity in the controlled environment of the lab/clinic during two complementary paradigms: one based on a psychophysical behavioral task, the other based on ERP, a therapeutic behavioral intervention. The third aim tests this hypothesis in an ambulatory, naturalistic setting with chronic neural on-device recordings paired with time resolved behavioral measures. We will investigate a possible common neural basis underlying approach and avoidance across these 3 paradigms. Subjects will participate in research at 7 critical timepoints during routine clinic visits (Fig. 4): before implant, 1 day before DBS activation, immediately after DBS activation, 2 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after DBS initiation. At these timepoints, patients will complete clinical assessments, perform the Probabilistic Approach Avoidance Task (PAAT), and conduct exposure trials under the guidance of a psychologist. The clinic offers the most controlled environment and provides opportunities for collecting high temporal resolution behavior synchronized to local field potential (LFP) recordings. These data will allow us to identify the degree of overlap in the time-resolved neural activity driving individual decisions to approach potential rewards or avoid potential aversive stimuli (Aim 1), and resist performing compulsions in order to achieve relief after OCD symptoms are triggered (Aim 2). At home, our goal is to investigate patient trajectories along the approach-avoidance axis as OCD symptoms improve (Aim 3). We will leverage passive, on device recordings that occur in the background of everyday life activities and synchronize these neural recordings with data collected via wearables, ecological assessments, and video diaries. Capturing neural and behavioral data in the home environment is essential for understanding the neural and behavioral changes that occur over longer timescales than individual clinical visits. The neurobehavioral biomarkers generated by this dataset will provide trackable readouts of clinical status that could inform therapeutic decision-making and enable data driven intervention.

Ulcerative Colitis (UC) and Crohn's Disease (CD) are long-term conditions in the gut that can cause diarrhea, swelling (inflammation), bleeding from the anus, and belly pain. The main aim of this study is to check for how many participants with UC and CD signs and symptoms disappear after 3.5 months (14 weeks) of treatment with Vedolizumab (this is called remission). Participants will be treated with Vedolizumab for approximately 1 year (50 weeks). During the first 1.5 months (6 weeks), participants will receive Vedolizumab as an infusion in the vein (called intravenously). After this, participants will receive Vedolizumab as an injection under the skin (called subcutaneously) for the rest of the treatment. Participants for whom the treatment does not seem to work well after 3.5 months (14 weeks) will stop treatment with Vedolizumab and can change to another treatment and also there will be additional required visits at 6 months (26 weeks) and at 1 year (52 weeks). All participants will be checked again 4.5 months (18 weeks) after their last treatment with Vedolizumab. During the study, participants will visit their study clinic several times.

XLMTM (X-linked myotubular myopathy) is a serious genetic muscle condition. It is caused by changes in the MTM1 gene which stops or slows down normal muscle development, causing severe muscle weakness. There is currently no cure for XLMTM. Ongoing care is needed to manage symptoms and prevent further medical problems from this condition. Recent research shows that individuals with XLMTM often have reduced bile flow which can affect liver and gallbladder health. Bile is a liquid made in the liver that helps digest fat. Ongoing liver health checks may help with the routine care of people with XLMTM. There is a need to understand liver problems that develop in individuals with XLMTM over time. The main aim of the study is to learn how many boys with XLMTM have new cases of liver problems during the study. This study is about collecting information only. This is known as an observational study. The individual's doctor decides on treatment, not the study sponsor (Astellas). In this study, boys under 18 diagnosed with XLMTM will be followed for about 1 year. The health of their liver and gallbladder will be checked about every 6 weeks. This can be done at home, if preferred. A scan called a Fibroscan (also known as transient elastography) will check for signs of scarring in the liver (fibrosis) and the build-up of lipids. It is suggested that each boy will have a Fibroscan when they start the study and another scan when they complete the study. This study will help understand liver, gallbladder, and bile duct issues in individuals with XLMTM over time. The goal is to improve their care and provide information to use in future clinical studies.

Attention deficits (AD) frequently co-occur with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The presence of AD is associated with greater PTSD clinical severity and poorer clinical outcomes. Knowledge regarding the mechanism underlying this association is limited, though the emerging evidence has indicated that executive function deficit (EFD) is strongly correlated with AD and PTSD symptoms. While treatments developed for PTSD have existed for years, a substantial portion of individuals do not fully respond to conventional treatment. Accumulating evidence suggest that attention deficit (AD) and EFD may be a driving force for PTSD treatment resistance. However, treatment of executive impairment in PTSD is very limited. As a result, untreated co-occurring AD and EFD in PTSD poses severe negative impacts on patients' functional recovery, treatment outcomes, and quality of life (QoL). Given that up to 50% of patients do not respond well to the first-line pharmacological PTSD treatments, it is imperative to seek novel treatment strategies to improve EF that may improve both standard treatment response and QoL, social function. The proposed study directly addresses this knowledge gap by testing the efficacy of atomoxetine (ATX) in improving EF and attention among Veterans with PTSD, which will further improve Veterans' QoL and social function. ATX represents a promising novel candidate pharmacotherapy for individuals with PTSD. ATX is a non-stimulant selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI), approved by the FDA for the treatment of ADHD. Studies suggest that ATX, unlike stimulants, lacks addictive properties and shows efficacy in the treatment of comorbid depression and anxiety, which is ideal in the treatment of PTSD. Data from the investigators' preliminary study provides encouraging support for the therapeutic potential of ATX in improving EF in Veterans with comorbid PTSD/ADHD. The investigators' recent research uncovered a higher rate of ADHD among Veterans with PTSD, and the comorbid AD symptoms were correlated with PTSD severity and poorer treatment outcomes. Treatment with ATX showed significant symptoms reduction in ADHD and improvement in inhibitory function in Veterans with ADHD/PTSD. In the proposed study, the investigators will focus on ATX in improvement of EF and attention, and further psycho-social life function and QoL. The investigators will (1) employ a randomized, double-blind design that will consist of 12 weeks of treatment with ATX or placebo medication; (2) use standardized, repeated dependent measures to rigorously assess AD and EFD symptomatology; (3) measure impairment in associated mental and behavioral health problems (e.g., attention deficit, depression, anxiety, suicidality, QoL, family/social functioning); and (4) use response inhibition task GoNogo, working memory and attention tests Digit Span and Trail Making to investigate the underlying pathophysiology of PTSD and prognostic indicators of treatment outcome. To achieve these goals, the investigators have assembled a multidisciplinary team with expertise in PTSD, ADHD clinical trials, and human laboratory paradigms who have successfully collaborated in the past and are uniquely qualified to implement this type of investigation. The proposed project is directly responsive to the mission of the VA-RRD "to maximize Veterans' functional independence, quality of life and participation in their lives and community." Successful completion of this study will provide a platform for a large multi-center trial to further confirm the important role of EF in PTSD treatment outcomes. The findings from this study will provide critically needed evidence to help inform clinical practice guidelines on the treatment of PTSD. The outcome of the proposed research will be significant, because it provides a knowledge base to allow for development of new PTSD intervention strategies. More importantly, this clinical trial may immediately benefit Veterans by enhancing their cognitive function, reducing AD related disability, and further improving quality of life for Veterans who suffer from PTSD.

An increasing number of guideline-directed medical therapies (GDMT) have been developed for patients with chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). When used in combination at recommended doses, patients often experience significant improvements in cardiac function, quality of life, and survival.1,2 However, GDMT underuse occurs for the vast majority of patients with HFrEF. Two recent trials demonstrated improved GDMT prescribing during a clinic visit, each using automated delivery of a patient-centered decision support tool to promote a proactive and holistic approach to prescribing: EPIC-HF (NCT03334188) tested a brief video and checklist document sent to patients just prior to a clinic visit encouraging them to work with their clinicians to make at least 1 positive change to their GDMT; PROMPT-HF (NCT05433220) tested tailored electronic health record (EHR) alerts for GDMT intensification delivered to clinicians during clinic visits. The current I-I-CAPTAIN-HF study aims to broadly implement and test the EPIC-HF patient-facing and PROMPT-HF clinician-facing tools for HFrEF medication intensification at 5 health systems around the country through a pragmatic cluster-randomized implementation-effectiveness trial. This will occur through an initial phase of adaptation of the 2 tools at each health system. Once ready, the 2 tools will be tested using a 2x2 randomization at the clinician-level. In parallel, formal assessment of the implementation of EPIC-HF and PROMPT-HF will work to understand the most effective means of intervention design and delivery, as well as adaptations due to contextual factors to optimize use.

The overall goal of this research is to test a new model of speech motor learning, whose central hypothesis is that learning and retention are associated with plasticity not only in motor areas of the brain but in auditory and somatosensory regions as well. The strategy for the proposed research is to identify individual brain areas that contribute causally to retention by disrupting their activity with transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Investigators will also use functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) which will enable identification of circuit-level activity which predicts either learning or retention of new movements, and hence test the specific contributions of candidate sensory and motor zones. In other studies, investigators will record sensory and motor evoked potentials over the course of learning to determine the temporal order in which individual sensory and cortical motor regions contribute. The goal here is to identify brain areas in which learning-related plasticity occurs first and which among these areas predict subsequent learning.
