The sponsor of this study, Owlet Baby Care, Inc., is comparing the accuracy of their pulse oximeter Sensor with the measurements of oxygen levels in newborns who are already being monitored with arterial blood samples. A minimum of 20, but up to 100 participants will be enrolled in a hospital environment and need to weigh 1500 grams or more. The purpose of the testing is to gather information on pulse oximeter readings taken by the Owlet OSS 3.0 Sensor and compare the readings to blood gas samples drawn by the medical staff. This will determine if the Owlet Sensor is accurate in newborns up to an age of 28 days after actual or expected delivery date. The Owlet OSS 3.0 is the Sensor component within the Owlet Dream Sock, an over the counter, noninvasive pulse oximeter which is currently FDA cleared in infants 1-18 months and between 6 and 30lbs, meant to be used in the home environment. The Owlet Sock is a fabric wrap that secures the Sensor to a baby's foot. The Sensor estimates the baby's SpO2, pulse rate, and measures movement level, and transmits the wearer's readings to the paired Base Station via low energy BlueTooth energy.

This is a single site, randomized exercise trial with individuals at least 50 years of age living with HIV who experience suboptimal cognition. The overall goals of this proposal are to determine whether 16 weeks of structured high-intensity interval training (HIIT) can overcome vascular and cognitive impairments (Aim 1) to a greater extent than continuous moderate exercise. Additionally, investigator will seek to identify barriers to engagement in exercise and the participants' perceptions of the study and exercise interventions (Aim 2). This study will enroll 60 participants in Birmingham, Alabama. Data collection will occur at each visit, with baseline data collected at the initial visit with a 3-month follow-up occurring following completion of the intervention.

This study will expand the types of pediatric cancers being evaluated for response to cabozantinib. The current COG study is restricted to Ewing sarcoma, osteosarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, Wilms tumor, and a handful of uncommon tumors. The proposed study will extend this evaluation to tumors that have been shown to either express known targets of cabozantinib or with preclinical evidence of efficacy, including specifically neuroblastomas. These tumors have high morbidity and mortality, particularly in the relapse setting, and few or no proven therapeutic options. As such, evaluation of cabozantinib in these studies is warranted. The study hypothesizes that use of cabozantinib in patients with ultra-high-risk pediatric solid tumors with minimal disease burden, as defined in the inclusion criteria below, can prevent and/or slow recurrent tumor formation in pediatric solid tumors and thereby significantly extend the period of disease control and/or induce a durable cure.

There are 3 aims of this study. In Aim 1 community patient partners will be enrolled to help guide the research being performed in all of the aims. Investigators will also administer a survey that will help determine factors associated with surgical preparedness. In Aim 2 investigators will develop an intervention to increase surgical preparedness using Human Centered Design Methods. Aim 3 will pilot test the intervention using mixed methods to determine feasibility and implementation outcomes.

The goal of this observational study is to help us understand more about the best ways to help individuals living with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) get the best care. The main question it aims to answer is: How to find individuals unaffiliated from SCD specialist care use three distinct pathways? Once unaffiliated individuals are found using the pathways, Investigators will employ linkage coordinators (trained staff) to engage these patients in care. Participants will be asked to fill out an assessment survey which will cover areas such as previous and current treatment, clinic and hospital experience, pain, and quality of life. Participants will also be given the option of participation in a 1-hour long interview how they feel about treatment for sickle cell disease including clinic experience, pain, and quality of life?

The study proposes to complete the development of and then establish the safety, efficacy, and clinical risk/benefit of a novel hospital incubator pad with stochastic vibrotactile stimulation (SVS) that will provide a complementary treatment and the first improvement in the clinical management of apnea of prematurity (AOP) in over 20 years. Currently, the only approved therapy for AOP is Caffeine Citrate. The SVS mattress pad can prove to be an effective, non-invasive adjunct to Caffeine Citrate for preterm infants with potential to shorten the need for respiratory support as well as overall shortened length of stay.
