We therefore aim to determine whether the type of mastectomy (preventive in a high-risk patient or therapeutic in a patient with a history of cancer), as well as the timing (immediate or delayed) and type of breast reconstruction, influence the quality of life and satisfaction of patients who have undergone bilateral mastectomy. The goal of this observational study is thus to measure and compare the quality of life of patients who have undergone bilateral mastectomy using the BREAST-Q questionnaire.

In this study, individuals living with diabetes in the Birmingham area will participate in a free, 3-month DSMES program hosted by MedsPLUS Consulting, a local independent pharmacy and wellness center, at a local faith-based organization. DSMES sessions meet twice a month and typically address topics including physical activity, nutrition, coping, and reducing risk and complications. Prior to beginning the program, participants will complete a questionnaire that assesses diabetes self-management behaviors (such as diet, physical activity, and medication adherence) and diabetes knowledge. Additionally, they will participate in a biometric screening where clinical data such as blood A1C, blood pressure, blood cholesterol, and BMI are collected. This data will also be collected again after the completion of the program. In this program, participants will be assigned a community health worker who will contact them outside of scheduled DSMES sessions to provide support. Participants will also be randomly assigned to one of two cohorts, the Traditional cohort and the Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) cohort. The traditional cohort will use paper trackers to track blood pressure and blood sugar outside of DSMES sessions while the RPM cohort will utilize an RPM platform to track this data.

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the safety and efficacy of MB-1 on metabolic health in overweight and obese adults. The main question it aims to answer is: What is the difference in change in body weight from baseline at Day 84 between MB-1 and placebo? Participants will be provided MB-1 or placebo and be assessed for anthropometric measurements, blood pressure, heart rate, and asked to complete appetite and satiety questionnaires and undergo a DEXA scan.

Most of the time, body weight is evaluated by looking at the ratio of your weight to your height. This measurement is called body mass index or BMI. However, BMI does not account for what your body is actually made up of (e.g., body fat versus muscle), which may be more important for determining cardiovascular disease risk. The investigators aim to understand vascular health in females with a "healthy" BMI with differing amounts of body fat and muscle mass. We will have participants come to the lab for two different study visits. At one visit, participants will eat a meal high in fat, and at the other visit, participants will undergo a stress task.

This study looks at whether using secure digital systems to share information between pediatric health care providers (during regular well-child visits) and social care providers (during regular visits with WIC nutritionists) can help mothers receive consistent guidance on responsive parenting to support healthy child growth and development. Responsive parenting means learning how to respond to a baby's needs in ways that support healthy eating, sleep, activity, and emotion regulation habits. The main questions this study aims to answer are: 1. Does using secure digital systems to share information between pediatric health care providers and social care providers help mothers receive consistent guidance on responsive parenting to support healthy growth from birth to 24 months? 2. Does using secure digital systems to share information between pediatric health care providers and social care providers help mothers receive consistent guidance on responsive parenting, improve responsive parenting practices and child diet quality? The investigators will compare the group that receives secure digital systems for sharing information on responsive parenting to a group that receives standard care (does not receive this) to see if secure digital systems for sharing information on responsive parenting work to support healthy child growth and development. The goal is to see if this approach can improve early health behaviors and reduce health disparities for families in rural, low-income communities.

The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the changes in lipid profile parameters (total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL-C, and LDL-C) in adult AML patients before and after intensive induction chemotherapy. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Are there correlations between metabolic changes (in lipid profile and BMI) and treatment outcomes, including remission status and incidence of chemotherapy-related complications? * Can the baseline lipid profile and BMI serve as prognostic markers for response to induction chemotherapy.? Participants will be observed before and after induction chemotherapy regarding their lipid profile, and BMI, observing any correlations between the different results with any complications, and with remission status.
