To explore the role of sensory modulation dysfunction (SMD) (i.e., a neurodevelopmental state altering the sensory perception, severely interfering with daily function) as a risk factor for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), its co-occurring pain, and impeded cognitive functio…

Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) is the second most common form of skin cancer, and one of the most common cancers worldwide. The majority of CSCCs are easily removed by surgery and have excellent prognosis. However, a small subset has poor outcomes, including secondary s…

The purpose of the present study is to conduct a pilot randomized clinical trial (RCT) of a parent coaching intervention for parents of youth hospitalized for suicidal ideation, suicide attempt(s), or non-suicidal self-injury. Parents will receive either the parent coaching inter…

After cataract surgery, postoperative inflammation is commonly treated with corticosteroid eye drops such as prednisolone acetate 1%. However, frequent dosing may reduce patient compliance. This study compares topical corticosteroid drops with a single sub-Tenon's injection of tr…
