Development and Validation of Virtual Laparoscopic Hiatal Hernia Simulator ((VLaHHS))
The goal of this study is to establish the face, content, discriminant and predictive validity of the Virtual Laparoscopic Hiatal Hernia Simulator (VLaHHS). The study population includes GS residents. The goal of developing scenarios for the simulator will be accomplished first and establishing the validity of the VLaHHS will be conducted in three phases after that: 1. Needs assessment survey of current practices in laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair a. Development of scenarios and metrics for the VLaHHS b. Assessment of validity of metrics developed for VLaHHS 3) Assessment of validity of VLaHHS 1. Phase I - Face and content Validity Assessment of VLaHHS 2. Phase II - Discriminant Validity Assessment of VLaHHS 3. Phase III - Learning Curve, Retention and Transfer Assessment (predictive validity) of VLaHHS Part 3- Phase III of this study is the interventional portion while rest of the parts and phases do not involve an intervention. The goal of this phase of the study is to establish the learning curve and predictive validity of the VLaHHS. The hypothesis is that the subject trained in VLaHHS will improve their skills compared to control with no training and show better transfer of skills on to an actual procedure.

Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography in Neurological Disease
Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA) is a non-invasive tool that images the neurovascular structures of the eye by using near-infrared light. Previous literature has demonstrated the potential of OCTA as a screening tool in stroke, but its utility in other neurological illness such as intracranial hemorrhage is unclear. Hence, this pilot study will gather preliminary data to support future grant applications to investigate this area more fully by recruiting patients with neurological illness and healthy controls and comparing their OCTA imaging parameters.

HIV+ Deceased Donor Heart Transplant Study for HIV+ Recipients
This will be a prospective single-center interventional trial to compare the outcomes of HIV-positive heart transplant recipients by the HIV status of the donor; HIV-positive vs. HIV-negative and learn whether heart organ transplantation from HIV+ deceased donors is as safe and effective in HIV+ recipients as transplants from HIV- deceased donors. Patient will undergo standard evaluation for eligibility of transplantation by the primary heart transplant team. If patient meets eligibility criteria, they will be informed about the study and consent will be obtained. Informed consent will be obtained in a private clinic or inpatient hospital room in a confidential setting. HIV-positive or HIV-negative offers will be made by Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) (serving as a means of "natural randomization" and this information will also be collected, along with the information regarding any information for primary offer declines from the patients as well as other clinical indications to decline an organ offer. As a result of this, there will be two main groups in the study participants that will undergo analysis: 1. patients/recipients that are HIV+ who receive an organ from an HIV+ donor (HIV D+/R+ group) 2. patients/recipients that are HIV+ who receive an organ from an HIV negative donor (HIV D-/R+ group) Only study participants will be able to receive organ offers from both HIV-positive and HIV-negative organ donors whichever is available first regardless of HIV status. This is the only study intervention. Baseline visit parameters will be obtained during a routine heart transplant visit. There will be no additional procedures or blood collection after the baseline study visit. Study data will be collected from chart review of routine post-transplant follow-up visits at weeks 52 (1 year), 104 (2 years), and 152 (3 years) after the transplant.

A Novel Approach for Reducing Hyperoxaluria and Kidney Stone Risk.
This pilot study is proposing a novel approach to directly target intestinal oxalate absorption with the drug Tenapanor, which was recently FDA-approved for treating hyperphosphatemia in patients with chronic kidney disease. Tenapanor works by blocking paracellular phosphate absorption by the intestine, but the underlying mechanisms have not been clearly defined. Since phosphate and oxalate ions are absorbed through the same paracellular pathway, and are of similar size and charge, Tenapanor is hypothesized to also reduce dietary oxalate absorption and consequently lower urinary oxalate excretion.

Sacituzumab Tirumotecan (MK-2870) Plus Pembrolizumab Versus TPC in TNBC Who Did Not Achieve pCR (MK-2870-012)
This is a randomized, open-label study comparing the efficacy and safety of adjuvant sacituzumab tirumotecan (MK-2870) in combination with pembrolizumab compared to treatment of physician's choice (TPC) in participants with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) who received neoadjuvant therapy and did not achieve a pathological complete response (pCR) at surgery. The primary objective is to compare sacituzumab tirumotecan plus pembrolizumab to TPC (pembrolizumab or pembrolizumab plus capecitabine) with respect to invasive disease-free survival (iDFS) per investigator assessment. It is hypothesized that sacituzumab tirumotecan plus pembrolizumab is superior to TPC with respect to iDFS per investigator assessment.

A Clinical Study of Intismeran Autogene (V940) Treatment and Pembrolizumab in People With Bladder Cancer (V940-005/INTerpath-005)
Researchers are looking for new ways to treat people with high-risk muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma (MIUC). Urothelial carcinoma is a type of bladder cancer that begins in cells that line the inside of the bladder and other parts of the urinary tract, such as part of the kidneys, ureters, and urethra. People with MIUC usually have chemotherapy before surgery, then surgery to remove the cancer. Chemotherapy is a type of medicine to destroy cancer cells or stop them from growing. After surgery, some people receive more treatment to prevent cancer from returning. Pembrolizumab is an immunotherapy, which is a treatment that helps the immune system fight cancer. Enfortumab vedotin (EV) is an antibody drug conjugate (ADC). An ADC attaches to a protein on cancer cells and delivers treatment to destroy those cells. Researchers want to learn if giving intismeran autogene (the study treatment) with pembrolizumab can prevent MIUC from returning after surgery. Intismeran autogene (also called mRNA-4157) is designed to treat each person's cancer by helping the person's immune system identify and kill cancer cells based on certain proteins found on those cancer cells. The goals of this study are to learn if people who receive intismeran autogene and pembrolizumab are alive and cancer free longer than those who receive placebo and pembrolizumab, and to learn about the safety of intismeran autogene, pembrolizumab, and EV, and if people tolerate them.
