The purpose of the study is to determine if there is a reduction in the length of stay and rates of rehospitalization for patients diagnosed with congestive heart failure when physicians are provided daily measurements of peripheral venous pressure versus no daily measurements of peripheral venous pressure.

The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to determine whether a community health worker-delivered, multi-component behavioral intervention can improve antihypertensive medication adherence and blood pressure control among adult refugees with hypertension who are prescribed antihypertensive medications. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does participation in the BPCARE intervention improve antihypertensive medication adherence compared to enhanced usual care? 2. Does participation in the BPCARE intervention improve blood pressure control and persistence over time compared to enhanced usual care? Researchers will compare participants randomized to the BPCARE intervention to those receiving enhanced usual care (hypertension information and a home blood pressure monitor) to determine the effects on medication adherence, blood pressure control, and persistence. Participants will: * Be randomly assigned to either the BPCARE intervention or enhanced usual care * Receive hypertension education and a home blood pressure monitor * Participate in community health worker-delivered sessions that include hypertension and medication education, motivational interviewing, problem-solving, and action planning (intervention arm only) * Complete questionnaires assessing medication adherence and related psychosocial factors * Have blood pressure monitored using connected home blood pressure devices * Complete pill counts to assess medication adherence over a nine-month follow-up period

In this study, the investigators are testing the effectiveness and implementation of the Community Health Workers (CHW)-delivered PILI Pasifika Program (PPP) Standard Facilitation or Enhanced Facilitation across 3 regions, the U.S. Affiliated Pacific Islands (USAPI), the continental U.S., and Hawai'i, among 600 Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) participants in two settings, (clinical and non-clinical) over a 3-year period. The PPP is a 3-month lifestyle intervention that includes a Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) component and was NHPI-adapted from the Diabetes Prevention Program's Lifestyle Program, renamed to the PILI Lifestyle Program (PLP), which demonstrated effectiveness in improving weight, blood pressure, physical activity, and diet among NHPIs. The PPP consists of 8 lifestyle lessons and 4 SDOH activities delivered over a 3-month period. The investigators will conduct an effectiveness-implementation hybrid type 2 trial using a 3 (Region) x 2 (Setting) x 2 (Delivery Mode) factorial design. The long-term objective of this study is threefold: 1. To conduct an effectiveness-implementation hybrid 2 trial to test the effects of the PPP implementation strategies across different settings and modes of delivery among 600 NHPIs at risk for cardiometabolic-related conditions using an NHPI-approved and adapted evaluation framework. The investigators will also assess and compare the cost-effectiveness of the CHW-delivered PPP-Standard Facilitation and PPP-Enhanced Facilitation to support long-term sustainability. 2. To conduct a longitudinal Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) survey embedded within the trial to examine the reliability and validity of indices from 5 adapted SDOH instruments and to assess the associations between SDOH variables and chronic disease risk among NHPIs. 3. To implement and evaluate the contextually-based CHW training program on PPP delivery.

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess nutrition incentives and produce vouchers to measure the impacts of food insecurity-related chronic health conditions in adults with hypertension and/or diabetes. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does participation increase fruit and vegetable consumption for participants? * Does participation reduce individual and household food insecurity? * Does participation reduce healthcare utilization and associated costs? * Does participation lead to improvements in diet-related health outcomes (e.g., hypertension, diabetes)? * Does participation support the local economy by increasing participant spending at local food vendors? Participants will: * Receive 6 months home delivered produce prescription boxes * Receive 6 months match of produce vouchers * Receive nutrition education and participate in Chronic Disease Self-Management classes

The goal of this clinical trial is to treat both hypertension and obesity in adults using a food is medicine framework. Participants will be randomized 1:1 to FIM+DASH or usual-care control. The 24-week trial includes a 12-week FIM+DASH intervention followed by a 12-week maintenance period and leverages existing partnerships with community-based organizations for home food delivery and culinary skill-skill building. The main questions it aims to answer are: (1) What is the effect of FIM+DASH vs. usual care control on blood pressure? (2) What is the effect of FIM+DASH vs. usual care control on DASH diet adherence (diet quality), body weight, and waist circumference? (3) How to identify factors associated with the sustainability and scalability of FIM+DASH in real-world settings?

The goal of this interventional study is to evaluate the implementation, usability, and clinical outcomes of a wearable medical-grade device in a virtual Cardiac Rehabilitation (CR) program, titled HEARTS in Sync. The question guiding this study is: Do patient clinical outcomes differ between those who use the CardioWatch 287-2 during the HEARTS in Sync program as compared to those who participate without using the CardioWatch 287-2? The comparison will happen between two non-randomized groups of patients who are enrolled in the HEARTS in Sync virtual CR program. The wearable device (CardioWatch 287-2), worn on patient's wrists, will provide clinicians with physiological information to better mirror the clinical oversight provided to an in-person CR program. Participants who choose to use the device will be asked to wear it daily. The clinical team will review weekly summary reports to help guide participant progress through the 13-week program. The primary objectives of this study are to: 1. Characterize participants (e.g., demographic health history, patient feedback) between those who choose to use the CardioWatch 287-2 device and those who do not. 2. Compare clinical outcomes between users and non-users of the device within the HEARTS in Sync program, by: 1. Tracking patient enrollment, attendance in virtual education sessions, and program completion rates, 2. Evaluating change in patient bloodwork outcomes, 3. Measuring change is physical ability, 4. Analyzing changes in eating behaviours, and 5. Examining quality of life using validated tools. 3. Asses the feasibility of the CardioWatch 287-2 for the HEARTS in Sync virtual CR program by: 1. Assessing device adherence 2. Reviewing patient feedback survey, and 3. Determining if clinician team were able to access and interpret data collected throughout the program The secondary objective of this study is to compare clinical outcomes of device users during the HEARTS in Sync program with patients who completed the on-site CR program. This research aims to better understand how a medical-grade device may improve virtual CR programming to extend clinical care to the community. As a result, this could lead to a more personalized care and better results for patients.

Background: Abnormal fats in the blood can lead to many problems, including heart disease. Researchers want to learn more about how eating meals with different levels of nutrients affects fats in the blood. Specifically, they want to study people with too much body fat, too little body fat, and a kidney problem called nephrotic syndrome. Objective: To learn more about how different types of foods affect fat levels in the blood. Eligibility: People aged 18 years or older with a health condition that affects how their body handles fats. Healthy volunteers are also needed. Design: Participants will have 2 overnight stays in the clinic within 6 months. At each visit, after staying overnight, they will eat a breakfast casserole. At 1 visit, breakfast will be a high-fat, low carbohydrate meal. At the other, it will be a high-carbohydrate, low-fat meal. Participants will have a tube inserted into a vein in their arm. They will have blood drawn via the tube 12 times in 8 hours: 2 times before they eat the breakfast and 10 times after. Participants will have other tests during their stays: * A resting metabolic test captures the air they exhale and measures how much energy they use at rest. * A dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan measures how much fat and muscle they have. * A Fibroscan is a special type of ultrasound of the liver. * A body surface scan uses lasers to measure the total area of the body. * A bioelectric impedance (BIS) exam measures how fast small electric currents move through their body. Participants may opt to have a third visit. At this visit, the breakfast will be high in protein.

This is an open-label, randomized feasibility trial in which patients admitted to Oregon Health \& Science University (OHSU) after a pregnancy complicated by preeclampsia who are considering a progestin-only pill contraception postpartum will be randomized to norethindrone or drospirenone for 6 weeks following hospital discharge.

The goal of this study is to determine if Minocycline, when added to standard care, can improve survival and functional outcomes in patients with moderate acute stroke (ischemic or hemorrhagic) aged 18 years and older. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does Minocycline improve \*National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale\* (NIHSS) scores at hospital discharge and 90 days post-stroke? 2. Does Minocycline reduce stroke-related disability, all-cause in hospital mortality (mRS -\*Modified Rankin Scale\* = 6) and at 90 days besides reducing brain bleeding complications compared to standard care? Researchers will compare patients receiving oral Minocycline plus standard care to those receiving standard care only to see if Minocycline leads to better neurological outcomes and lower mortality. Participants will: 1. Be randomly assigned by block to receive either: Minocycline 200 mg orally once daily for five days within 24 hours from symptoms onset + Standard Care, or Standard Care only 2. Undergo neurological assessments using NIHSS \*National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale\* and Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at admission, discharge, 30 days post-stroke, 90 days post-stroke 3. Be monitored for: a) hemorrhagic transformation of ischemic strokes; b) Adverse events and mortality outcomes; c) Safety and efficacy signals through interim analyses NIHSS: \*National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale\*, which is stroke severity scale, mRS: \*Modified Rankin Scale\*, which is stroke disability scale
