Fore each address, Walk Score analyzes hundreds of walking routes to nearby amenities and awards points based on distance to each amenities. Scores are given on a scale of 0 to 100.
Measure: Walk Score Time: Baseline and 12 monthsDescription: The BAST is a 47 item, theoretically grounded, validated survey of behavioral and emotional symptoms for community-based adults with TBI. This assessment is a shortened version of the validated 77-item survey, with questions related to environmental stressors and mood removed due to repetitiveness to other questions in survey packet. Responses are asked over the past two weeks using an ordinal scale from 0 "rarely" to 5 "very often." There are 6 subscales: Negative Affect, Substance Use, Executive Function, Fatigue, Impulsivity, and Maladaptive Coping. Higher scores indicate more symptoms in those domains. This measure will be used to characterize behavioral/emotional symptoms and to explore whether these are factors that influence
Measure: Behavioral Assessment Time: Baseline and 6 monthsDescription: The ten items from the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE) are deigned to examine goal-setting, effort investment, persistence in face of barriers and recovery from setbacks as constructs of perceived self-efficacy.

Measure: MedGem Time: BaselineDescription: The metabolic score calculator will be used at all time points to determine the risk for metabolic syndrome. The following variables will be used to determine metabolic risk using the free metabolic risk calculator: gender, race and ethnicity, systolic blood pressure, fasting glucose, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), weight, height, and waist circumference. Scores are calculated are standardized to the general population.
Measure: Metabolic Score Calculator (MetS) Time: Baseline, 3, 6, 12, and 18 monthsDescription: Information on substance use will be collected using the AUDIT-C (for alcohol use) and three questions regarding tobacco and non-prescriptive drug use.
Measure: Substance Use Time: Baseline, 12 monthsDescription: This self-report survey was developed by the National Institute of Mental Health. The full survey consists of 64 questions with an open-ended section at the end to elicit concerns and feedback related to the effects of COVID-19. For this current study, however, only sections on Exposure Status (10 items), Life Changes (15 items), and Emotions/Worries (7 items), and the open-ended question will be asked. Questions are asked "over the past two weeks."
Measure: CRISIS (CoRonavIruS Health Impact Survey) V0.3 Adult Baseline Form Time: Up to 12 monthsDescription: The Social Isolation Short-Form 4a is taken from the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS). This form assesses the perceptions of being "avoided, excluded, detached, disconnected from, or unknown by, others. There is no timeframe for the form. The measure is normed to the US population.
Measure: PROMIS Social Isolation Short Form 4a Time: Up to 12 monthsDescription: To assess media exposure and fear of media exposure during COVID-19 we have added 6 questions. These are asked "over the past two weeks." These questions address time spent watching the television, listening to radio, reading the newspaper, and searching the internet and social media. In addition, a 6th question related to fear is asked using a 5-point Likert scale.
Measure: Media Questionnaire Time: Up to 12 monthsPersons with higher levels of spinal cord injury (above the 2nd thoracic vertebrae; tetraplegia) are unable to maintain normal core body temperature (Tcore) when exposed to cool environments. In persons with tetraplegia, even limited exposure to cool temperatures may cause Tcore to approach hypothermic values and impair cognitive performance. Conversely, an increase in Tcore from subnormal to normal range may improve cognitive performance. Prior work has shown that cool seasonal temperatures have an adverse effect on personal comfort and the ability to perform vital daily activities of self-care in persons with tetraplegia. Interventions that address the vulnerability to hypothermia are limited. A self-regulating heated vest designed specifically for persons with tetraplegia is a novel and promising strategy to address this problem. By more effectively maintaining Tcore, the vest can decrease the adverse impact of cool temperatures on comfort, quality of life, and performance of vital daily tasks for Veterans with tetraplegia during the cooler seasons.
Description: Tcore will be continuously monitored throughout baseline and thermal challenge periods (with heated & non-heated vests) by a TX-2 Rectal probe and Iso-Thermex Multichannel Thermometer (Columbus Instruments, Columbus, OH). The probe will be placed 10 cm beyond the anal sphincter.
Measure: Change in Core Body Temperature (Tcore) Time: Visits 2 & 3 (subjects with tetraplegia only): Continuously throughout baseline & Thermal Challenge (2 hrs) periods. The change in Tcore from baseline to the end of Thermal Challenge will be determined.Description: The cognitive battery will be administered once at BL and once after Thermal Challenge in persons with tetraplegia only (Visits 2 & 3). Testing conditions will be identical, quiet, and distraction-free. Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Fourth Edition (WAIS-IV): Subjects will be asked to repeat 2-9 numbers forward, backward and in ascending order to assess attention, processing speed, and working memory. Each assessment requires 10 min.
Measure: Change in Cognitive Performance: WAIS-IV Time: Visits 2 & 3 (subjects with tetraplegia only): At the end baseline (at 15 min) & end of Thermal Challenge (at 120 min) periods. The change in cognitive performance from baseline to the end of Thermal Challenge will be determined.Description: Delayed Recall section of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA): Subjects will be asked to repeat 5 simple words immediately and then recall them after a 5-minute delay to assess working memory. Each assessment requires 6 min.
Measure: Change in Cognitive Performance: Delayed Recall Time: Visits 2 & 3 (subjects with tetraplegia only): At the end baseline (at 15 min) & end of Thermal Challenge (at 120 min) periods. The change in cognitive performance from baseline to the end of Thermal Challenge will be determined.Description: Stroop Color and Word: Subjects will be asked to read words of colors, colors of fonts to assess attention and processing speed; color of fonts of words which describe conflicting colors to assess response inhibition (executive functioning). Subjects will practice each of the assessments for approximately 10 seconds prior to the actual test to ensure understanding of the instructions. Each assessment requires 4 min.
Measure: Change in Cognitive Performance: Stroop Time: Visits 2 & 3 (subjects with tetraplegia only): At the end baseline (at 15 min) & end of Thermal Challenge (at 120 min) periods. The change in cognitive performance from baseline to the end of Thermal Challenge will be determined.Description: Thermal Comfort will be measured every 10 minutes throughout BL and thermal challenge periods by the Zhang 6-point thermal comfort scale: +3 (very comfortable), +2 (comfortable), +1 (just comfortable), -1 (just uncomfortable), -2 (uncomfortable), and -3 (very uncomfortable). A greater frequency of +1, +2, and +3 scores are considered more desirable than -1, -2, and -3 scores during the Thermal Challenge. Each assessment requires only the time needed for the subject to respond (typically less than 10 seconds).
Measure: Change in Thermal Comfort (TC) Time: Visits 1, 2, & 3 (all subjects): During baseline & every 10 minutes throughout Thermal Challenge (2 hrs). The change in TC from baseline to the end of Thermal Challenge will be determined.Description: Skin thermocouples (TX-4 Skin Surface probes, Columbus Instruments, Columbus, OH) will be taped to 12 sites on the anterior trunk. Tsk data will be collected continuously throughout the baseline (BL) and Thermal Challenge periods. All areas under the vest will have skin temperatures less than or equal to 39 degrees C.
Measure: Change in Skin Temperature (Tsk) under the heated vest Time: Visits 2 & 3 (all subjects): Continuously throughout baseline (15 min) & Thermal Challenge (2 hrs) periods. The change in Tsk from baseline to the end of Thermal Challenge will be determined.Description: Thermal sensation will be measured on the Zhang 9-point Thermal Sensation scale: +4 (very hot), +3 (hot), +2 (warm), +1 (slightly warm), 0 (neutral), -1 (slightly cool), -2 (cool), -3 (cold), and -4 (very cold). TS should be no greater than "warm" this would include identification of "hot spots". Each assessment requires only the time needed for the subject to respond (typically less than 10 seconds).
Measure: Change in Thermal Sensation (TS) Time: Visit 1 (able-bodied subjects only): During baseline & every 10 minutes throughout Thermal Challenge (2 hrs). The change in TS from baseline to the end of Thermal Challenge will be determined.Veterans with co-occurring Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and Substance Use Disorder (PTSD-SUD) experience more severe symptomatology and poorer response to existing treatments than Veterans with either disorder alone. Guilt is a common posttraumatic reaction and has been implicated as a risk factor for the development and maintenance of PTSD and substance use. Combat Veterans often report experiencing moral injury defined as perpetrating, failing to prevent, or witnessing acts that violate the values they live by in their civilian lives, which can lead to feelings of guilt and shame. Accordingly, reduction in guilt and increase in self-compassion may lead to improved quality of life for Veterans. This project will conduct a pilot study to evaluate changes in self-compassion, guilt, and PTSD-SUD symptom severity in a sample of Veterans after receiving 8 sessions of Mindful Self Compassion treatment (via a telehealth modality during COVID-19 pandemic). Findings will have significant impact on effective treatment options and lead to improvements in Veterans' quality of life and posttraumatic symptoms.
Description: The SCS is a 26-item self-report questionnaire in which respondents describe how they relate to themselves during times of distress. The SCS includes the 5 item Self-Kindness subscale (ranging from 5-25; higher scores reflect more self-kindness), the 5-item Self-Judgment subscale (ranging from 5-25; higher scores reflect more self-judgment), the 4-item Common Humanity subscale (ranging from 4-20; higher scores reflect higher levels of common humanity), the 4-item Isolation subscale (ranging from 4-20; higher scores indicate higher levels of isolation), the 4-item Mindfulness subscale (ranging from 4-20; higher scores reflect higher levels of mindfulness) and the 4-item Over-Identification subscale (ranging from 4-20). Responses are given on a 5-point scale from "1-Almost Never" to "5-Almost Always." Mean scores on the six subscales are then averaged to create an overall self-compassion score ranging from 26 to 130. Higher scores correspond to higher levels of self-compassion.
Measure: Self-Compassion Scale (SCS); Change from baseline in Self-Compassion at post-treatment (2 mo) and follow up (3mo) Time: Baseline, 8-10 weeks, 12-14 weeksDescription: The TRGI is a 32-item validated self-report measure assessing traumatic guilt. The TRGI has three scales - Guilt Severity, Distress, and Guilt Cognitions. In all 32 items the answers are recorded on 5-point scale (ranging from 0 - not at all true to 4 - extremely true).

Respondents select up to three of the most traumatic events they have experienced, and those events are used as the basis for assessing PTSD symptoms. The CAPS assesses each of the 20 items from the DSM-5 criteria B, C, D, and E. The assessor combines information about frequency and intensity of an item into a single severity rating (0=Absent; 1=Mild/subthreshold; 2=Moderate/threshold; 3=Severe/markedly elevated; 4=Extreme/incapacitating). CAPS-5 total symptom severity score is calculated by summing severity scores for the 20 DSM-5 PTSD symptoms (range = 0-40). Similarly, CAPS-5 symptom cluster severity scores are calculated by summing the individual item severity scores for symptoms corresponding to a given DSM-5 cluster: Criterion B (items 1-5); Criterion C (items 6-7); Criterion D (items 8-14); and, Criterion E (items 15-20).
Measure: Clinician Administered PTSD Scale for DSM-5; Change from baseline in PTSD symptoms at post-treatment (2 mo) and follow up (3mo) Time: Baseline, 8-10 weeks, 12-14 weeksDescription: The WHO-QOL BREF is a 26-item validated self-report measure that that assesses quality of life across four domains: physical (7 items, range 1-5), psychological (6 items, range 1-5), social relationships (3 items, range 1-5), and environment (8 items, range 1-5). The four domain scores denote an individual's perception of quality of life in each particular domain. The mean score of items within each domain is used to calculate the domain score. Domain scores are scaled in a positive direction (i.e. higher scores denote higher quality of life). There are also two items that are examined separately: question 1 asks about an individual's overall perception of quality of life on a scale of 1 - "very poor" to 5 - "very good". Question 2 asks about an individual's overall perception of their health on a scale of 1 - "very dissatisfied" to 5 - "very satisfied". The WHO-QOL-BREF has excellent internal validity and test-retest reliability.
Measure: Quality Of Life Enjoyment & Satisfaction Questionnaire (WHO-QOL-BREF); Change from baseline in quality of life at post-treatment (2 mo) and follow up (3mo) Time: Baseline, 8-10 weeks, 12-14 weeksDescription: The Alcohol TLFB is a drinking assessment method that obtains estimates of daily drinking. The TLFB will be employed at all three assessment points to evaluate alcohol and other substance use during the 90 days preceding each interview. Using a calendar, people provide retrospective estimates of their daily drinking over a specified time period. The TLFB will be used at each follow-up to establish: percentage days heavy drinking, percent days abstinent, length of initial abstinence, length of use episodes, severity of relapse and current alcohol/drug use pattern. The Alcohol TLFB has been shown to have good psychometric characteristics with a variety of groups, and can generate variables that provide a wide range of information about an individual's use (e.g., pattern, variability, and magnitude of use).

Measure: Beck Scale for Suicidal Ideation; Change from baseline in suicidal risk at post-treatment (2 mo) and follow up (3mo) Time: Baseline, 8-10 weeks, 12-14 weeksThe purpose of this study is to test the effects of an innovative exercise program referred to as movement-2-music (M2M) on health and fitness outcomes in adults with physical/mobility disabilities. One hundred and eight participants with physical/mobility disabilities will be recruited and randomly enrolled into one of two groups: a) M2M or b) waitlist control. The primary aim of this study is to determine the effects of a 12-week M2M program on health and fitness in participants with physical/mobility disabilities who are in one of three functional mobility groups: 1) Group I - only able to exercise while sitting, 2) Group II - able to exercise sitting and standing with/without support, and 3) Group III - able to exercise one side of the body more than the other side. The second aim is to compare the observed effects of the program in this study to a previous M2M study that groups participants based on disability type. The third aim of this study is to test whether adherence (defined as attendance to the 12-week program) affects the effects of M2M in participants with physical/mobility disabilities. The potential influences of different functional mobility and disabilities of participants on how the program affects participants' health and fitness outcomes will also be tested. **In response to COVID-19, the 12-week M2M intervention and all assessments have been modified from being delivered in-person at Lakeshore Foundation to being delivered remotely in real-time through videoconferencing technology.**

Measure: Monitoring Adverse Events Time: Five yearsChildren with acquired brain injury (ABI) often struggle with complex impairments, including cognitive (such as memory and attention), social, emotional and behavioral challenges. There is broad agreement that there is a lack of evidence-based knowledge about rehabilitation for children with ABI in the chronic phase. The current study is a feasibility study of a planned randomized controlled trial (RCT), the CICI-intervention, directed towards children with ABI and their families in the chronic phase. The feasibility study aims to evaluate the study protocol, the assessment procedures and the technical solutions prior to performing the RCT. A feasibility study with six participating children and families will be conducted in close collaboration with schools and local health care providers. The intervention to be tested (the CICI-intervention) focuses on the child's and family's individually identified target outcome areas to be addressed, with corresponding rehabilitation goals. The intervention aims to enhance everyday functioning in the home and school environment by reducing ABI-related symptoms, and by attaining rehabilitation goals in areas noted as challenging by the participants. In the future RCT-study the efficacy of the CICI-intervention will be measured in terms of goal attainment, community participation, cognitive, behavioral, social, and family functioning.

Healthcare providers are tasked with limiting the use of personal protective equipment while minimizing unnecessary exposures to the virus. Results from real-time PCR tests to detect active COVID-19 infections may not be available in a timely fashion during emergent trauma assessments. Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, a rapidly expanding body of literature has identified a pattern of imaged lung abnormalities with CT and ultrasound (US) characteristic of an active viral infection. US evaluation provides a reliable, portable, and reproducible way of evaluating acute patients in a real time setting. During initial trauma evaluations, patients may also receive adjunct imaging modalities like the Focused Assessment with Sonography in Trauma (FAST) exam designed to discover life threatening findings that may require urgent interventions. We therefore propose a study expanding on the current FAST adjunct evaluation in the trauma bay that may include lung parenchyma imaging at the initial assessment to help stratify patients into low or high-risk groups for active COVID-19 infections. We believe the use of point of care US in the initial assessment of the trauma patient may help identify potentially infected individuals and aid ED providers to best directing subsequent laboratory and imaging evaluations for these patients, while further directing the necessary protective measures for additional team members involved in the care of the injured patient.

The World Health Organization recently declared coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) as a pandemic. The infection is caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). It is a single-stranded RNA virus, which in humans causes mild respiratory symptoms and generally has a good prognosis. However, in a certain group of patients it manifests as severe pneumonia, respiratory distress syndrome, multiple organ dysfunction and death. The factors associated with a worse prognosis are older than 60 years, the presence of diabetes, cardiovascular disease and obesity. According to studies carried out in the Eastern world, the prevalence of liver injury in patients with COVID-19 disease varies between 14% and 53%, being more prevalent in patients with severe symptoms of COVID-19 disease. It is not really known whether the liver involvement of patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection is secondary to the direct effect of the virus on the liver. One of the mechanisms of action of SARS-CoV-2 is through the binding to the angiotensin-converting enzyme receptor, which is present in cholangiocytes, this could explain its excretion in faeces. However, liver injury could be due to the immune response generated in the body by the virus with systemic inflammatory response syndrome and the release of inflammatory cytokines such as IL6, generating direct cytopathic damage to the liver. On the other hand, it could be the product of hepatotoxic drugs administered during hospitalization, such as antibiotics, antivirals or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Liver biopsy described microvacuolar steatosis, and a mild portal and lobular inflammatory infiltrate . Therefore, the aim this study is to assess the prevalence of liver complications (liver injury, decompensation of cirrhosis) in patients diagnosed with COVID-19 in Latin America. As secondary objectives, the investigators will describe the clinical characteristics of COVID-19 disease and identify risk factors associated with poor prognosis,

The intervention includes a memory reminder cue, a 10-minute time gap and then around 20 minutes playing the mobile phone game Tetris, using mental rotation instructions. The study will have a multiple baseline case-series design (AB), with a randomised duration of baseline length up to three weeks. Thus, participants will complete a no-intervention phase of up to three weeks, followed by an intervention phase. Please see the intervention section for more details about the intervention sessions. Follow ups are conducted after each week to monitor the frequency of intrusive memories of trauma in a pen-and-paper diary. It is predicted that participants will report fewer intrusive memories after receiving the intervention than in the preceding baseline phase.

However, no data are available whether these parameters can also predict the occurrence of AKI in the context of COVID-19 infection. An early prediction of AKI can be helpful for the optimisation of therapeutic management to improve patient outcome and for the triage of patients. The aim of this observational study is to evaluate whether the biomarker [TIMP- 2]*[IGFBP7] can predict the occurrence of AKI in critically ill patients suffering from SARS-CoV2 associated acute respiratory distress syndrome.

LIGHT is a cytokine in the TNF super family (TNFSF14) which drives inflammation and induces many other cytokines including IL-1, IL-6 and GM-CSF. LIGHT levels have been shown to be elevated in COVID-19 infected patients and inhibiting LIGHT is hypothesized to ameliorate the cytokine storm which has shown to be a major factor in progression of ARDS. The study will assess the efficacy and safety of CERC-002 in patients with severe COVID-19 over a 28 day period as single dose on top of standard of care.

Measure: Proportion of subjects who are alive Time: Baseline to Day 28Persons with spinal cord injury (PwSCI) are at a greater risk for major health conditions and poorer health outcomes than persons without spinal cord injury (SCI). They often experience a great deal of health needs both on a physiological level as well as a psychosocial level. PwSCI frequently require supports and services to be able to live independently within the community. These services and supports are sometimes difficult to access within the community when the country is operating under regular capacity, in current times with the global COVID-19 pandemic, the challenges for obtaining and accessing supports and services will become much greater. The proposed project aims to identify the specific needs during this time of crisis and to provide referrals and resources to ameliorate those needs by surveying PwSCI in the St. Louis region. The project also hopes to determine if these persons experience isolation during shelter at home orders. PwSCI, who the investigators serve or have served in the past, will be contacted via phone or e-mail once a month for six months and asked to complete a questionnaire that will allow the investigators to track the participant's needs during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Although acute respiratory distress syndrome is the main organ failure, acute kidney injury (AKI) has appeared to be more frequent and more severe than expected. Some data suggested a potential direct renal tropism of the virus, or undirect injury by "cytokine storm". The aims of this study are: 1. To describe incidence, severity and mortality associated with AKI during covid-19 infection in ICU 2. To identify specific risk factors for AKI 3.

Measure: Primary endpoint is the incidence, the severity and the mortality associated with AKI during COVID-19 severe infection Time: 7 monthsThis study is an observational registry of children with or suspected to have SARS CoV2 (COVID-19) admitted to pediatric intensive care units (PICU). This registry will help describe the prevalence, rate and severity of acute kidney injury (AKI) in children with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2(SARS CoV2) across the world. The registry will be developed using a point prevalence methodology and then full retrospective review. Once a week, from April through June 2020, data collection will occur in "real-time" to estimate a weekly point prevalence of AKI and renal replacement therapy (RRT). The operational definition of "patients under investigation" (PUIs) will be used to identify the denominator of patients to be studied. The PUIs will be cohorted into SARS CoV2 test positive, test negative, test pending, or test unavailable. The primary aim of this study is to deliver a global, objective data driven analysis of the burden of AKI in virus positive patients or patients under investigation (PUI) who are admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit.
