The purpose of the study is to assess the impact of personalized music on emergence agitation (EA), as measured by Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium scores in pediatric patients recovering from elective procedures under general anesthesia. Personalized music may help to decrease EA in children undergoing elective surgeries under general anesthesia by decreasing perioperative anxiety and minimizing perceived pain. The study has the potential to improve perioperative care by improving safety, decreasing the need for postoperative pharmacologic and nursing interventions, thereby shortening the time of recovery and improving caregiver satisfaction. Participants participating in this study will be randomly assigned to receive personalized music plus standard of care, or standard of care alone. Those assigned to the music group will receive music in the preoperative holding area as well as in the post-operative care unit.

Lennox-Gastaut syndrome is a serious and rare form of epilepsy that begins in infancy and early childhood. Seizures and their consequences need medical attention, emergency encounters, and hospitalizations. Seizures disrupt home life for the patient and for family. Lennox-Gastaut syndrome is typically accompanied by disabilities in motor, communication, eating, and other skills needed for daily function. Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) has no cure. Although current treatments may help reduce the number of seizures, none are expected to eliminate them entirely; these treatments are palliative. The main treatments include anti-seizure medications and some surgical approaches, including the implantation of a vagus nerve stimulator (a pacemaker-like generator implanted in the chest wall and programmed by a physician to stimulate the vagus nerve in the neck) and corpus callosotomy (cutting through the band of fibers that connect the two sides of the brain). While both types of treatment (medications and surgeries) produce some benefit by reducing how often the seizures occur, both also have some risks. All medications can, in some patients, produce moderate to severe side effects. This is true of anti-seizure medications. Most patients with LGS take several anti-seizure medications at a time. Surgeries can also have associated risks and is additionally stressful for parents and family members. Currently, there is no strong evidence to support parents and physicians in deciding which type of treatment (more medicines or surgery) will be most successful for a child with LGS, and whether one or the other approach may lessen the toll that seizures take on a child's development and ability to function. This study has two components. It will engage a network of seven pediatric hospitals in the United States where children with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome are cared for and determine whether seizure-related emergency department visits and hospitalizations are more likely to be reduced following the use of additional medications or adding palliative surgery to existing medications. The investigators will determine whether medical versus surgical treatment is more likely to lessen some of the developmental and functional difficulties that affect patients with LGS. The study will also determine whether starting therapies at a younger versus older age makes a difference. The second component of the study will provide a description of the use of surgical versus medical treatment approaches across 18 pediatric hospitals in the United States (seven plus 11 centers). The investigators will describe how treatments differ across hospitals and over time. The results from this study will help parents and providers make more informed choices about treatment for children with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome and will highlight areas for improvement in providing the best possible health care for this severe, lifelong disorder.

High body fat at midlife, as evidenced by overweight or obese body mass index (BMI), is increasingly understood as a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease. However, the underlying processes and mechanisms that may underlie this risk remains unknown. With this project, the Investigator proposes to create a new cohort of cognitively normal 120 midlife individuals, age 40-60 years. The investigator and research staff will characterize the participant's overweight or obese status using metabolic tests including, an oral glucose tolerance test, fasting plasma insulin, fasting plasma glucose, and hemoglobin A1c measurements. This testing will generate categories of metabolically abnormal overweight and obese (MAOO), metabolically normal overweight and obese (MNOO), and metabolically normal lean participants (MNLP). Research staff will evaluate differences between these groups on neuroimaging with the newer classification framework of Alzheimer's biomarkers with amyloid (A), tau (T), and neurodegeneration (N), or ATN. Neurodegeneration will be assessed by atrophy on brain MRI as reflected by regional volumes on Freesurfer. Staff will also evaluate MR neuroimaging markers for neuroinflammation using a newer method called diffusion basis spectrum imaging (DBSI), developed at the Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology at Washington University in St. Louis in collaboration with The Charles F. and Joanne Knight Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (Knight ADRC).

In this study, researchers will learn more about a drug called felzartamab in people who have received a kidney transplant and later developed a condition called microvascular inflammation (MVI). MVI is a type of injury to small blood vessels in the transplanted kidney and may be a sign of rejection by the body. It can lead to serious kidney problems over time. In many cases, MVI is caused by antibodies that attack the transplanted kidney. But in some people, MVI happens without these antibodies. This type of MVI is called isolated MVI. There are currently no approved treatments for isolated MVI. The main goal of the study is to learn about the effect felzartamab has on inflammation in the transplanted kidney. The main question researchers want to answer is: • How many participants have no signs of active inflammation in the transplanted kidney after 24 weeks of treatment with felzartamab? Researchers will also study how felzartamab affects kidney function, immune activity, and overall health. They will monitor safety through kidney biopsies, lab tests, and by recording adverse events throughout the study. Adverse events are health problems that may or may not be caused by the study drug. The study will be done in 2 parts as follows: - Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either felzartamab or a placebo. A placebo looks like the study drug but contains no real medicine. - In Part A, participants will receive their assigned drug for 24 weeks. Neither the researchers nor the participants will know who is receiving felzartamab or placebo. - Part B will last another 28 weeks. All participants will receive felzartamab and both participants and researchers will know this. - All treatments will be given by intravenous (IV) infusion at the study site. - Participants will have kidney biopsies at the start of the study, at Week 24, and at Week 52 to help measure changes in inflammation. - Participants will stay in the study for about 1 year.

This phase III trial compares the effect of adding tivozanib to standard therapy pembrolizumab versus pembrolizumab alone for the treatment of patients with high-risk renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Tivozanib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of the abnormal protein that signals tumor cells to multiply. This helps stop the spread of tumor cells. Giving pembrolizumab and tivozanib together may work better than pembrolizumab alone in treating patients with RCC.

Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is one of the only curative intent therapies available for hematologic malignancies. HLA-matched sibling donors have historically offered the best clinical results but are unavailable for the majority of patients, while most patients do have readily available haploidentical donors. One of the risks of a haploidentical HCT is graft vs. host disease (GVHD), but it is difficult to reduce the incidence of GVHD without compromising the graft vs. leukemia (GVL) effect. The hypothesis of this study is that JAK inhibition with and without CTLA-4 Ig with haploidentical HCT may mitigate GVHD and cytokine release syndrome while retaining the GVL effect and improving engraftment.

This phase III trial tests whether continuous or intermittent zanubrutinib after achieving a complete remission (CR) with rituximab works in older adult patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) who have not received treatment in the past (previously untreated). Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Zanubrutinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. When zanubrutinib is used in MCL, the current standard of care is to continue administering the drug indefinitely until disease progression. This continuous treatment comes with clinical as well as financial toxicity, which could be especially detrimental in older patients. For patients who achieve a CR after initial zanubrutinib plus rituximab therapy, it may be safe and equally effective to stop treatment and restart zanubrutinib upon disease progression rather than continuing indefinitely in previously untreated older adult patients with MCL.

Patients with clonal cytopenia of undetermined significance (CCUS) and lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) have a life expectancy of 5 to 10 years. Mortality in these patients results from progression of disease to higher-risk MDS or acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and cardiovascular events. Currently there are no FDA-approved treatments with the potential to improve survival of patients with CCUS and lower-risk MDS. Statins are an appealing class of drugs to consider in this situation as preclinical data support their potential to suppress progression of myeloid malignancy, and they have a well-established role in prevention of major cardiovascular events. This is a pilot study to explore the role of statins in treatment of patients with CCUS and lower-risk MDS. In this study, change in inflammatory biomarkers and variant allele frequency (VAF) of somatic mutations will be used as a surrogate marker of response to statin therapy. The hypothesis is that the use of statins at diagnosis of CCUS or lower-risk MDS will reduce inflammation and delay or prevent the expected increase in the VAF of somatic mutations over time.

The goal of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of an artificial intelligence (AI)-generated personalized question prompt list (a list of suggested questions to ask during outpatient appointments) for patients with hematologic cancers. The intervention will involve tailoring a standardized prompt to patients' individual characteristics and concerns. This prompt will then be used to ask Washington University's (WashU) HIPAA compliant ChatGPT to generate personalized question lists for outpatient appointments. Analyses will assess the impact of personalized QPLs on patients' question-asking behavior; communicative self-efficacy; and self-reported amount and satisfaction with information obtained about their disease and its treatment. Sub-analyses will explore patterns in questions generated by WashU ChatGPT. Patients will also provide feedback pertaining to the perceived helpfulness and ease-of-use of WashU-ChatGPT-generated question lists, as well as their attitudes and intentions regarding use of AI chatbots and whether they would engage in pre-appointment AI-assisted question brainstorming independently in the future.
