The central hypothesis of ROMA:Women is that the use of multiple arterial grafting (MAG) will improve clinical outcomes and quality of life (QOL) compared to single arterial grafting (SAG). The specific aims of ROMA:Women are: Aim 1: Determine the impact of MAG vs SAG on major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events in women undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The investigators will compare major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (death, stroke, non-procedural myocardial infarction, repeat revascularization, and hospital readmission for acute coronary syndrome or heart failure) in a cohort of 2,300 women randomized 1:1 to MAG or SAG. Differences by important clinical and surgical subgroups (patients younger or older than 70 years, diabetics, racial and ethnic minorities, on vs off pump CABG, type of arterial grafts used) will also be evaluated. The women enrolled in the ongoing ROMA trial (anticipated to be approximately 690) will be included in ROMA:Women, increasing efficiency and reducing enrollment time. Hypothesis 1.0. MAG will reduce the incidence of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events. Hypothesis 1.1. The improvement with MAG will be consistent across key subgroups. Aim 2: Determine the impact of MAG vs SAG on generic and disease-specific QOL, physical and mental health symptoms in women undergoing CABG. The investigators will compare generic (SF-12, EQ-5D) and disease-specific (Seattle Angina Questionnaire) QOL and physical and mental health symptoms (PROMIS-29) in a sub-cohort of 500 women randomized 1:1 to MAG or SAG (including those enrolled in ROMA:QOL). Differences by important subgroups (as defined above) will also be evaluated. Hypothesis 2.0. MAG will improve generic and disease-specific QOL compared to SAG. Hypothesis 2.1. MAG will improve physical and mental health symptoms compared to SAG. Hypothesis 2.2. The improvement with MAG will be consistent across key subgroups.

Digital interventions have the potential to support healthier behaviors among pregnant and postpartum women (PPW) with substance use disorders (SUDs) and may also provide a promising method for reducing their self-stigma. Enhearten is a digital intervention designed to foster adherence to medications for addiction treatment (MAT) while considering the unique needs of PPW, but its effects on self-stigma, treatment retention, and SUD outcomes have not been rigorously tested. The investigators will conduct an individual-level multicenter randomized controlled trial to test the feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy of Enhearten on reducing self-stigma and on improving SUD treatment and recovery outcomes with a stigma-focused ecological momentary intervention (EMI) designed to: 1) screen for feelings of stigma and 2) counteract these vulnerabilities among PPW with SUD via just-in-time interventions.

20 million patients have surgery in the United States every year, with approximately 1 million of those patients requiring life-saving blood transfusion. Presurgical preparation for transfusion is important to allow for safe and timely transfusion during surgery; however, excessive preparation is unfortunately common, costly, and contributes to blood waste. This study aims to evaluate an intelligent clinical decision support system that helps clinicians prepare blood for patients who are likely to need it, while avoiding excessive preparation for patients who don't, potentially improving patient safety while reducing blood waste and healthcare costs.

Inspired by the ongoing Pink & Pearl Campaign, the breast radiology service of Christian Hospital in north St. Louis County will partner with Siteman Cancer Center to pilot this campaign in its mammography clinics in order to promote awareness, referral, and completion of lung cancer screening (LCS) among eligible women. This campaign leverages established infrastructure such as nurse navigation and referral to screening or primary care for further shared decision-making on cancer screening. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Pink & Pearl Campaign in improving LCS uptake among LCS-eligible women undergoing mammography at Christian Hospital. This evaluation is grounded in the Integrated Screening Action Model that depicts individual- and environmental-level influences on the screening behavior process. Using an explanatory sequential mixed methods design, which combines both quantitative and qualitative approaches, our specific aims for this proposal are to: a) assess whether the Pink & Pearl Campaign increases referrals and uptake/completion of LCS among LCS-eligible women undergoing screening mammography; b) determine median time-to-screening after referral to LCS; and c) evaluate individual and health system factors influencing LCS uptake and implementation outcomes of the campaign. These implementation outcomes will help identify whether the campaign was put in place successfully or not. This proposal will inform strategies for integrating cancer screening programs to improve poorly performing programs like LCS.

Insulin is a hormone that is made by β-cells in the pancreas and when released into the bloodstream helps control blood sugar levels. Insulin release is regulated by electrical activity in the β-cell which is generated by the ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channel. While reduced KATP activity is associated with increased insulin secretion, animals lacking KATP exhibit reduced secretion. This crossover from hypersecretion to undersecretion with KATP loss mirrors insulin secretion during type 2 diabetes. Intriguingly, evidence from cell and animal models suggest that chronically stimulated β-cells can lose KATP revealing a possible role for KATP loss in the failure of insulin secretion and poor control of blood sugar observed in type 2 diabetes. This study will therefore examine insulin responses following ingestion of a single dose of a sulfonylurea called glipizide that inhibits KATP channels in people with and without type 2 diabetes. The goal is to determine whether KATP channel activity is reduced during type 2 diabetes progression.

This phase III trial compares proton craniospinal irradiation (pCSI) to involved-field radiation therapy (IFRT) for the treatment of breast or non-small cell lung cancer that has spread from where it first started to the cerebrospinal fluid filled space that surrounds the brain and spinal cord (leptomeningeal metastasis). Patients with leptomeningeal metastasis (LM) may develop multiple areas of nervous system (neurologic) impairment that can be life-threatening. Radiation therapy (RT) effectively relieves local symptoms due to LM. RT uses high energy radiography (x-rays), particles, or radioactive seeds to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. IFRT is commonly used to treat symptoms of LM. IFRT is radiation treatment that uses x-rays to treat specific areas of LM and to relieve and/or prevent symptoms. pCSI uses protons that can be directed with more accuracy than x-rays which allows treatment of the entire central nervous system space containing the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), brain, and spinal cord. The pCSI treatment could delay the worsening of LM. Giving pCSI may be better than IFRT in treating LM in patients with breast or non-small cell lung cancer.

The purpose of this study is to see if taking the study drug, Belumosudil, for 52 weeks in addition to your usual care and medication, will prevent Chronic Lung Allograft Dysfunction (CLAD) in participants who have a lung biopsy that shows evidence of rejection or inflammation to the transplanted lung(s). For this study, biopsies that show evidence of Acute Rejection (AR), Lymphocytic Bronchiolitis (LB), Organizing Pneumonia (OP) or Acute Lung Injury (ALI) are referred to as "Qualifying Biopsies"; patients who had evidence of one or more of these conditions on a recent biopsy are eligible for enrollment in this study. Belumosudil is an investigational drug that blocks a molecule in the body that reduces inflammation and scarring and may play a role in the development and progression of CLAD. Belumosudil is a drug approved by the FDA to treat adults and children 12 years and older with chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD), a condition with some similarities to CLAD. The primary objective it to determine the efficacy of treatment with Belumosudil + maintenance immunosuppression (IS) versus placebo + maintenance IS on preventing the subsequent development of probable or definite CLAD, lung retransplant, or death.
