The purpose is to investigate whether non-invasive acupuncture - NIA (i.e. acupuncture without needles) will help reduce pain for babies in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) during their routine weekly eye-exam for Retinopathy of prematurity. Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is an eye disease most commonly affecting premature babies born weighing less than 1250 grams. Retinopathy of prematurity occurs because these premature babies require oxygen because of their immature lungs. The oxygen then stimulates the growth of blood vessels in the retina, causing the retina to be detached from the eye, which causes vision impairment. To examine if the vessels grow at the back of the eye, an eye-doctor visits bi-weekly once the baby is 32 weeks corrected age to assess if the blood vessels change. If there is a lot of growth, the eye-doctor would use a laser to treat the eye to prevent further growth. During the bi-weekly eye-exam, the premature infant receives sucrose (a type of sugar) for pain management. The investigator will assess pain a premature babies experience during this exam and found that there are extremely high scores of pain despite sucrose and the investigator believe this pain and stress caused by these procedures could be reduced by adding: Magnetic Acupuncture Also, untreated pain causes stress (lower oxygen levels, higher heart rates), discomfort and poorer long term outcomes. Finding the best treatment and prevention for the pain caused by procedures in the NICU is therefore extremely important for any baby.

This clinical investigation is intended to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the TactiCath™ Contact Force Ablation Catheter, Sensor Enabled™ (TactiCath SE) for use in cardiac electrophysiological mapping and for the treatment of drug-refractory, recurrent symptomatic persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) when used in conjunction with a compatible radiofrequency (RF) generator and three-dimensional mapping system. This clinical investigation will be conducted under an investigational device exemption (IDE) and is intended to support market approval of the TactiCath SE ablation catheter for the treatment of drug refractory, symptomatic persistent atrial fibrillation in the United States.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect on the frequency of all seizures (convulsive and drop) in participants treated with TAK-935 compared to placebo.

The purpose of this study is to collect long-term safety, tolerability, effectiveness and health outcomes data in eligible subjects who have participated in a Novartis ofatumumab clinical MS study. Vaccination sub-study The purpose of this research sub-study is to find out the effects of ofatumumab on the development of antibody responses to selected vaccines and keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) neo-antigen in subjects with relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS). COVID-19 sub-study: The purpose of this research sub-study is to explore the immune response following Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccination in a subset of subjects on long-term ofatumumab 20 mg sc. Note: Novartis is not supplying the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine.

This Phase 3 study is designed to test the effectiveness of intranasal carbetocin (LV-101) in participants with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS). Carbetocin is an oxytocin analog (a man-made chemical that is like oxytocin). This study will also evaluate the safety and tolerability of LV-101.

This study will be evaluating the safety and efficacy of propagermanium for the treatment of participants with FSGS who are already taking irbesartan by: * monitoring symptoms that participants may experience while on the study, * measuring levels of protein in participant's urine and kidney function during the course of the study, * measuring the levels of propagermanium and irbesartan that enters into participant's urine and blood, and * comparing the propagermanium outcomes to participants' pre-study and placebo outcomes. Eligible participants will randomly be assigned to one of two arms to receive both the propagermanium and placebo in different orders as follows, either: Treatment Period 1 taking a propagermanium capsule twice a day for 16 weeks, followed by a six week washout period followed by Treatment Period 2 taking a placebo capsule twice a day for 16 weeks. OR Treatment Period 1 taking a placebo capsule twice a day for 16 weeks, followed by a six week washout period followed by Treatment Period 2 taking a propagermanium capsule twice a day for 16 weeks.

This Phase II research project will test the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of an experimental drug combination: either nivolumab and BBI608 or nivolumab and BNC105 in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer who have previously failed standard of care treatment.

This is a prospective, single arm, sequential enrolment study to collect relevant clinical and radiological data in approximately 26 subjects, at one site in Australia, who have been implanted with the SMF Short Modular Femoral Stem Hip System in a primary THA procedure to assess its safety and efficacy up to 20 years post-surgery.

This study is specifically designed to provide observational data which can be used to help in the design of future randomized clinical trials on both therapeutics and diagnostics for MDRO infections. To this end, clinical and epidemiological data will be collected on patients who have MDRO isolated from clinical cultures during hospitalization, as well as descriptions of the outcomes of patients treated with various antimicrobial regimens. Molecular and microbiological characterization will also be performed on MDRO isolates. These data will include a detailed clinical and epidemiological description of patients including identifying potential barriers to enrollment in future trials. In addition, data will be collected on species, strain type, and mechanism of drug resistance of the causative organism. Knowing the molecular characteristics will further inform future trial design as not all diagnostics detect and not all therapeutics are active against the same mechanisms of resistance.

This trial will study two treatment combinations for classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL). This trial will find out if these two treatment combinations work to treat cHL. It will also find out what side effects occur. A side effect is anything the drug does besides treating cancer. This study will have three parts (Parts A, B, and C). The drugs used in Part A are a combination of targeted anticancer drug (brentuximab vedotin) and three chemotherapy drugs (doxorubicin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine). These four drugs are called "A+AVD." Participants will be treated with granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) following every dose of A+AVD for 6 cycles of treatment (12 doses). Part A will look at whether the A+AVD drug combination reduces the number of participants who experience the side effect of febrile neutropenia. Febrile neutropenia is a very low white blood cell count and a fever, which can be life threatening. Parts B and C will use drug combination of brentuximab vedotin, plus nivolumab, doxorubicin, and dacarbazine. These four drugs are called "AN+AD." Parts B and C will study how well the drugs work to treat cHL and what side effects they cause.
