We are doing this study to look at components of the blood to see if there are features that distinguish people with dystonia from people without dystonia. Identifying "biomarkers" in the blood that are associated with dystonia is greatly needed to help more accurately diagnosis dystonia and to identify subsets of dystonias that may have shared mechanisms. Being able to group individuals by underlying mechanisms can guide people with dystonia to the most appropriate future treatments that act specifically to correct one cause or another.

The Endometrial Cancer Molecularly Targeted Therapy Consortium is a multi-institutional alliance that is developing a cancer data and tissue repository. The information in this repository will be used to better understand tumor alterations and cancer biomarkers that can help us develop new therapies and potentially improve survival outcomes for women with endometrial cancer.

We are doing this study to learn more about the cause of cardiac (heart) disease or sudden unexplained death, which is something that can run in families. Some conditions that we are looking at are:

• Cardiomyopathies (a disease of the heart muscle that makes it harder for your heart to pump blood to the rest of your body) like hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, dilated cardiomyopathy, or arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy
• Arrhythmia syndromes (a problem with the rate or rhythm of the heartbeat, either too slow or too fast) like long QT syndrome, Brugada syndrome, catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, or short QT syndrome
• Sudden cardiac arrest or unexplained sudden death (heart stops suddenly), including sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS)

We are doing this study to collect blood samples that may be used for the following:

• To make sure equipment and assays are working properly
• Staff training
• Researching assay development (an assay is a laboratory test)

If you agree to be in the study, you will have 1 study visit that will last about 4 hours. The visit will include asking questions about your medical history, vital signs, pulmonary function tests (PFTs) and an MRI (magnetic resonance image) of the chest with inhaled Xenon gas. Someone from the study team will contact you about 24 hours after your study visit.

We are doing this study to test the effectiveness of the IMPACt-LBP Program. This program was built to help adult patients who have low back pain receive the right care at the right time with the right provider.

We are doing this study to find out if images taken of the eye using a special type of camera placed inside a surgical microscope, called Microscope Integrated Optical Coherence Tomography (MIOCT), will give us new information during surgery that will improve both how we perform eye surgery and the results of surgery.

We are doing this study to compare 2 different surgeries for epithelial ovarian cancer. We want to know if an investigational surgical procedure called minimally invasive surgery can offer better results than the standard surgery, which is called laparotomy. We hope to find out if one procedure or the other is preferable when it comes to preventing cancer from returning and giving patients a better quality of life after their surgery.
