The purpose of this observational study is to find the best measures to define how well a person with eosinophilic disorder is doing. People with EoE, EoG, EoN and EoC normally undergo endoscopy and/or colonoscopy where cells are collected for microscopic analysis. Treatments are then decided based on how the cells look. We are aiming to compare different tissue components such as inflammatory cell types with clinical symptoms. We want to see if scores on standard questionnaires can give us an idea how well the person is doing.

The purpose of the study is to discover the underlying subtypes of chronic musculoskeletal pain (muscle and joint pain) in youth. Specifically, the researchers are looking for different profiles of brain and immune system signals that affect how the body feels pain, and how these pain profiles are shaped by a person's medical history, psychology, and social environment. The goal is to develop more precise treatments for chronic pain in young people.
Primary Aim: The investigators want to identify subtypes of childhood-onset chronic pain (pain lasting more than 3 months) that affects the musculoskeletal system. To do this, the study will enroll teens and young adults (ages 14-26 years) who were diagnosed with chronic pain in childhood (before the age of 18) or have a pediatric rheumatic disease or major surgery that places them at risk for developing chronic pain. The researchers will look at participants' childhood medical histories and treatments, their current pain and other symptoms, sensory tests of pain and immune system markers found in their blood. The investigators will use this information to find different clinical and neuroimmune profiles of chronic pain. They will also be able to identify the profiles of those who are at risk for chronic pain (because of a rheumatic disease or past surgery) but never develop long term pain.
Secondary Aim: The study will look at how medical history, treatments, and different lifestyle factors (like sleep and physical activity), and psychosocial factors (mood, coping, social support) influence the pain experience in subgroups of chronic pain identified in the primary aim. By understanding specific behavioral and psychosocial risk and protective factors-the researchers hope to better understand why some young people develop long-lasting pain and others do not and also how better treatments can be developed for those who do have chronic pain.

The investigators hypothesize that graft rejection after hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) is primarily driven by interferon gamma, and prophylactic interferon gamma inhibition in high-risk patients will prevent graft rejection. Additionally, knowledge of emapalumab PK/PD and in vitro mechanistic effects of emapalumab in this novel setting will guide optimization of dosing regimens and treatment approaches in future studies.

The goal of this observational study is to learn how two medicines used in routine care-buprenorphine and morphine-affect recovery in newborns (≥36 weeks' gestation) with Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome (NOWS). The main questions it aims to answer are:
1. Do infants treated with buprenorphine become medically ready for discharge sooner than those treated with morphine?
2. Does one treatment lead to better overall clinical outcomes than the other?
Researchers will compare infants who received buprenorphine with infants who received morphine to see whether one treatment helps babies recover more quickly.
Participants will not be asked to do anything. Instead, the study team will collect information already documented in the infant's and mother's medical records securely without any contact or changes to clinical care.
No new medicines, procedures, or visits are involved. This study only reviews existing clinical data to better understand which commonly used treatment may support faster recovery for newborns with NOWS.

The goal of this short term prospective Phase II study is to compare the effects of two alternate daily doses of zinc (25 and 40 mg/day) in 34 randomly assigned homozygous Sickle Cell Disease (SCD-SS) patients aged 15-40 years old. The main question it aims to answer is: Which biomarkers are most responsive to zinc supplementation, and what is the maximum tolerated zinc dose that induces the desired changes in biomarkers of bone turnover? Participants will be recruited from 6 American Society Hematology Research Collaborative SCD Centers. Eligible SCD subjects will be invited to participate in the 16-week study, involving 2 baseline blood draws 4 weeks apart, followed by a 12-week zinc intervention. The findings from this study will be used to determine the dosage of zinc to be used in a larger, future study on the long term impact of zinc supplementation on bone health in SCD-SS.

In this research study, the investigators want to learn more about the use of donor-derived viral specific T-cells (VSTs) to treat viral infections that occur after allogeneic stem cell transplant. A viral specific T cell is a T lymphocyte (a type of white blood cell) that kills cells that are infected (particularly with viruses). Allogeneic means the stem cells come from another person. These VSTs are cells specially designed to fight the virus infections that can happen after a bone marrow transplant.
The investigators are asking people who have undergone or will undergo an allogeneic stem cell transplant to enroll in this research study, because viral infections are a common problem after allogeneic stem cell transplant and can cause significant complications including death.
Stem cell transplant reduces a person's ability to fight infections. There is an increased risk of getting new viral infections or reactivation of viral infections that the patient has had in the past, such as cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), adenovirus (ADV), BK virus (BKV), and JC virus. There are anti-viral medicines available to treat these infections, though not all patients will respond to the standard treatments. Moreover, treatment of viral infections is expensive and time consuming, with families often administering prolonged treatments with intravenous anti-viral medications, or patients requiring prolonged admissions to the hospital. The medicines can also have side effects like damage to the kidneys or reduction in the blood counts, so in this study the investigators are trying to find an easier way to treat these infections.

The goal of the BRAVE-HEART study is to learn if an amino acid infusion can reduce the risk of developing acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery in children. The main questions it aims to answer are:
1. Does an amino acid infusion decrease the number of participants with acute kidney injury?
2. Does an amino acid infusion decrease the number of days that participants are on a ventilator after cardiac surgery?
Researchers will compare amino acids to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to see if amino acids decrease the number of participants with acute kidney injury.
Participants will receive an amino acid or placebo infusion for up to 72 hours starting during cardiac surgery and only while in the operating room or the intensive care unit.

ADHD children have abnormal inhibitory control, meaning they have trouble stopping themselves from doing something they should not do. This ability to control involves an area in the brain called the pre-supplementary motor area (pre-SMA). Scientists have previously shown that the pre-SMA is abnormal in ADHD patients. In this study, we will use Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) to stimulate the pre-SMA and determine the effects on measures that are related to inhibitory control.

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is a severe and complex chronic pain condition in children. Many psychosocial factors impact its development and recovery. CRPS has a strong central component, which is reflected by structural and functional changes in the brain. However, the interaction between these cerebral changes and trajectory of recovery has been seldom investigated to date. Furthermore, interactions between cerebral changes and psychosocial factors, which might affect trajectory of recovery, are unknown. The aim of this study is to identify the psychosocial factors and cerebral changes that predict the trajectory of recovery from CRPS.
Children between the ages of 10 and 17 years will be enrolled with one of their parents or legal guardians for this study. Three populations will be recruited: patients with CRPS undergoing treatment at the Functional Independence Restoration Program (FIRST), patients with CRPS undergoing treatment at the Pain Management Center and matching healthy controls. Participants will undergo three sessions: the first session will be scheduled immediately before or as soon as possible at the beginning of the patients' treatment; the second session will take place at the end of the patients' treatment; the last session will be scheduled six months post-treatment. The timing of the sessions of the healthy participants will follow a schedule similar to the FIRST patients. Each session will last approximately three hours and include acquisition of psychosocial, psychophysical, and brain imaging data in the child participants, as well as acquisition of psychosocial data in the parent participants.

• Diagnosis: Patients with newly diagnosed HGG, including DIPG are eligible. Diagnosis must have histologic confirmation from biopsy or resection. The diagnosis of HGG must have been confirmed by pathology review at the local site. For the diagnosis of DIPG, patients must have a tumor with pontine epicenter and diffuse involvement of at least 2/3 of the pons, with histopathology consistent with diffuse WHO grade 2-4 glioma (eg, diffuse astrocytoma, anaplastic astrocytoma, glioblastoma, H3K27-altered diffuse midline glioma). For all other tumors, histologic grade must be WHO grade 3-4.
• Disease Status: There are no disease status requirements for enrollment.
* Measurable disease is not required. Patients without measurable disease are eligible.
* Patients with metastatic/disseminated or multifocal disease or gliomatosis cerebri are eligible.
* Patients with a primary spinal tumor are eligible.
* Patients with secondary, radiation related HGG are eligible.
• Prior Therapy for HGG: Surgery, radiation, and/or dexamethasone are permissible. Temozolomide concurrent with radiation is permissible. Prior administration of avastin/bevacizumab is allowed (individual treatment arms have different washout period requirements, check individual arm eligibility). No other prior anticancer therapy for HGG will be allowed.
* Participants screening for assignment to TarGeT-L may not have received radiation.
Timing from surgery to start of RT: For patients who have started RT, radiation must have started \<42 days from definitive surgery or biopsy, however it is strongly recommended patients start RT within 31 days from definitive surgery (if patient had two surgeries, radiation must have started within 31 days from second surgery).
• Tumor Sample Availability OR results from previous molecular profiling/targeted sequencing
* If a patient screens through OPTION #1, tumor sample in addition to normal comparator tissue (peripheral blood, saliva, or buccal swab) must be submitted for comprehensive molecular screening at the time of screening enrollment.
* If a patient screens through OPTIONS #2 or #3, results from previously performed molecular profiling must be submitted following enrollment. It is highly recommended that results be uploaded within 7 days of enrollment (if results are available at time of enrollment) or within 7 days of results becoming available (if pending at time of enrollment) to allow adequate time for central review.
• Informed Consent: All patients and/or their parents or legally authorized representatives must sign a written informed consent. Assent, when appropriate, will be obtained according to institutional guidelines.
• Enrollment timeline: Patients are eligible to enroll on the TarGeT-SCR anytime between diagnosis and the following specific timepoints post completion of RT (if relevant)
* Patients screening through OPTION #1 are eligible to enroll anytime between diagnosis and 10 days post RT (if completing RT).
* Patients screening through OPTIONS #2 or #3 are eligible to enroll anytime between diagnosis and 21 days post RT (if completing RT).
* Participants screening for TarGeT-L (lorlatinib) are eligible to enroll on TarGeT-SCR anytime between diagnosis and 31 days post definitive surgery (to allow time for molecular review).
However, it is important to note the following:
* For treatment protocols that include targeted therapy administered concurrently with RT, patients must start treatment within 10 calendar days of starting RT.
* For treatment protocols that only include maintenance/adjuvant therapy (no systemic therapy given concurrently with radiation), patients must start treatment by 35 days post RT

The goal of this multi-site clinical trial is to determine the effectiveness of two components of a web-based intervention (Epilepsy Journey) to improve executive functioning in adolescents with epilepsy. The two components include web-based modules and problem-solving telehealth sessions with a therapist focused on executive functioning. This trial aims to answer the following questions:
1. Which components of Epilepsy Journey (web-based modules or telehealth sessions with a therapist) are essential for improving executive functioning in adolescents with epilepsy?
2. Which components of Epilepsy Journey (web-based modules or telehealth sessions with a therapist) are essential for improving quality of life in adolescents with epilepsy?
Participants will be randomly assigned to one of four groups: 1) Epilepsy Journey web-based modules and telehealth sessions, 2) Epilepsy Journey web-based modules only, 3) telehealth sessions with a therapist only, or 4) treatment as usual.
Participants will:
* Independently review Epilepsy Journey web-based modules focused on executive functioning skills (\~15-30 minutes) and/or have weekly telehealth sessions (\~30-45 minutes) with a therapist for 14 weeks.
* Complete measures of executive functioning (parent and teen-report) and quality of life (teen-report) at the start of the study, 14-, 26-, and 66- weeks after randomization. The NIH toolbox will be completed at the start of the study and 26-weeks after randomization. Additional measures will also be collected.

This study is a pragmatic clinical trial examining the comparative effectiveness of two stimulant medications (methylphenidate and amphetamine) in the treatment of ADHD in children and adolescents with autism. Using a sequential, multiple assignment randomization trial (SMART) design the study will not only assess these two medications but also the role of an increasingly popular class of ADHD medication, the alpha-2 agonists. Findings from this study will help improve clinicians' approach to medication selection and reduce the repeated trials of multiple medications that are current standard care.

This ComboMATCH patient screening trial is the gateway to a coordinated set of clinical trials to study cancer treatment directed by genetic testing. Patients with solid tumors that have spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) or have spread to other places in the body (advanced) and have progressed on at least one line of standard systemic therapy or have no standard treatment that has been shown to prolong overall survival may be candidates for these trials. Genetic tests look at the unique genetic material (genes) of patients' tumor cells. Patients with some genetic changes or abnormalities (mutations) may benefit from treatment that targets that particular genetic mutation. ComboMATCH is designed to match patients to a treatment that may work to control their tumor and may help doctors plan better treatment for patients with locally advanced or advanced solid tumors.
