The goal of this study is to determine whether a mobile application that combines real-time sensor data and patient-reported symptoms to trigger care-team contact recommendations is feasible and beneficial for patients receiving chemotherapy. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is the mobile application feasible and acceptable to patients? * Do the alerts and guidance improve symptom management, quality of life, and engagement with the care team during treatment? Participants will: * Complete a demographic questionnaire at the beginning of the study and quality-of-life and health questionnaires at the beginning, midpoint, and end of study. * Complete daily symptom ratings via study application. * Wear a Fitbit activity tracker for 90 days. * At the end of the study, complete a semi-structured interview to provide feedback on the study. * Optional: At the beginning and end of the study, complete an in-person physical function assessment measuring balance (Short Physical Performance Battery).

Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is an effective, minimally invasive treatment for achalasia, offering excellent rates of symptom relief. However, a significant drawback is the high incidence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) following the procedure. One proposed technical modification, the selective preservation of the sling fibers during gastric myotomy (SFP-POEM), may reduce this risk without compromising efficacy as compared to a conventional POEM procedure, which includes myotomy of the sling fibers. In this study, adults with achalasia will be randomly assigned to receive one of the two POEM technical approaches. Researchers will monitor whether preserving sling fibers reduces the rates of reflux esophagitis (classified as Los Angeles Grade B or higher) on follow-up endoscopy. Participants will be followed for up to 1 year after the procedure.

The study purpose is to gain a better understanding of the needs of adults aged 65 and older while they are receiving chemotherapy by measuring their resilience and tailor care plans based on their individual needs.

Scientists do research to answer important questions which might help change or improve the way we do things in the future. The investigators know that using Enamel Matrix Derivatives results in thicker gum tissues around teeth. This study will test to see if using EMD around implants results in thicker gum tissues around implants.

Dyspepsia is a common problem attributed to gastric sensorimotor dysfunctions ie, delayed, or less frequently rapid gastric emptying (GE), impaired gastric accommodation, and increased gastric sensation. Therapeutic options manage symptoms, and there is no FDA approved medical therapy for dyspepsia. There is a need for better objective understanding of sensorimotor dysfunction in dyspepsia, as well as noninvasive, efficacious, safe, and inexpensive treatments for dyspepsia. The purpose of this research is to identify disturbances and characterize phenotypes in patients with functional dyspepsia, and to assess the correlations between symptoms (during the manometry and in daily life), gastric emptying, electrical activity (BSGM), and pressure activity (manometry).

This is a two-site randomized clinical trial aiming to test whether a modified investigational bariatric surgical procedure can improve gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) after sleeve gastrectomy.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if study drug Fosamprenavir-Sodium Alginate (FOS-SA) administered orally improves symptoms for Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI)-refractory Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD). The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does FOS-SA significantly improve heartburn severity over the 8-week treatment period 2. Does FOS-SA significantly improve regurgitation frequency over the 8-week treatment period 3. Does FOS-SA significantly improve symptoms of persistent GERD over the 8-week treatment period Researchers will compare FOS-SA to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no active drug) to see if FOS-SA works to treat PPI-refractory GERD. Participants will: 1. Take FOS-SA or placebo every day BID (twice a day) for 8 weeks 2. Visit the Adult Translational Research Unit (ATRU) seven times for consenting, screening, and checkups and tests 3. Keep a daily diary of their symptoms of persistent GERD

The objective of the study is to investigate the treatment of marginal ulcers with Low Thermal plasma in an endoscopic setting. By a treatment of the ulcerated areas with argon plasma with low power settings (\~ 1 W) we hypothesize that the size of the ulcers will shrink, and the healing is accelerated compared to standard of care alone. Patients will benefit from this minimally invasive approach compared to a much more invasive surgical approach that comes with higher risks and hospital stay length time. From a societal and scientific perspective, this study aims to extend the well-documented clinical benefits of plasma technology - from external wound healing to internal ulcer treatment - within an endoscopic framework. The success of this study could pave the way for broader applications of LTP in the treatment of other endoscopically accessible conditions such as peptic ulcers, duodenal ulcers and esophageal ulcers. This advancement has the potential not only to improve patient outcomes through less invasive methods, but also to position LTP as a cornerstone in the future of gastroenterological wound management strategies.

This trial uses a special imaging technique with a dye to help doctors see blood flow during gastric bypass surgery. It aims to reduce complications like ulcers and leaks by ensuring good blood flow at surgical connections. The study focuses on patients having this type of weight-loss surgery.

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare whether the use of Ovitex mesh provides superior reduction in 2-year recurrence compared to pledgeted suture closure (no mesh) for patients undergoing paraesophageal hernia repair at the Cleveland Clinic. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Determine whether there is a difference in 2-year rates of radiographic recurrence with Ovitex versus pledgeted sutures in paraesophageal hernia repair. * Assess patient quality of life (QOL) after paraesophageal hernia repair with pledgets and mesh. A two-tailed research hypothesis will be used to determine whether there are differences between the two arms

The overall goal is to define and characterize the manometric characteristics of UES incompetence associated with objectively documented pharyngeal reflux. The investigators will use endoscopic reflux detection as gold standard.

Randomized controlled trial of an exposure-based behavioral treatment (CBT) in adults with functional dyspepsia who meet criteria for avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) with weight loss.
