Firearm injuries are the leading cause of death for American youth. While most of these deaths are homicides, approximately one third are suicides and 5% are unintentional shootings where a child gains access to an unsecured firearm and unintentionally pulls the trigger injuring or killing themselves or someone else. Secure firearm storage in the home has been shown to significantly reduce the risk of both unintentional shootings and intentional self-harm behavior. Additionally, approximately 75% of the guns that show up on school grounds come from the homes of youth or their family members or friends. Despite evidence that secure storage counseling delivered in the pediatric outpatient setting significantly improves secure storage behavior AND recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics to provide secure storage counseling during well child checks, rates of counseling continue to be low. The Be SMART program is aligned with the American Academy of Pediatrics policy statement and recommendations and provides a scalable solution to efficient counseling in the clinical setting. However, except for one single site inpatient study, the efficacy of the Be SMART program has not been formally evaluated in the inpatient pediatric setting. By rigorously evaluating the efficacy of specific secure storage interventions like Be SMART the investigators can eventually improve counseling frequency with the goal of increasing gun safety behaviors and reducing firearm injuries and deaths in youth. The investigators hypothesize the Be SMART educational intervention, when delivered in the pediatric inpatient setting, will lead to significant improvement in the primary gun safety behavior endpoint and the secondary endpoint among both gun owners and non-gun owners when compared to control group.

The goal of this phase I clinical trial is to evaluate the usefulness of an imaging test (zirconium Zr89 panitumumab [89Zr panitumumab]) with positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) for diagnosing the spread of disease from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastasis) in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Traditional PET/CT has a low positive predictive value for diagnosing metastatic disease in head and neck cancer. 89Zr panitumumab is an investigational imaging agent that contains radiolabeled anti-EGFR antibody which is overexpressed in head and neck cancer. The main question this study aims to answer is the sensitivity and specificity of 89Zr panitumumab for the detection of indeterminate metastatic lesions in head and neck cancer. Participants will receive 89Zr panitumumab infusion and undergo 89Zr panitumumab PET/CT 1 to 5 days after infusion. Participants will otherwise receive standard of care evaluation and treatment for their indeterminate lesions. Researchers will compare the 89Zr panitumumab to standard of care imaging modalities (magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), CT, and/or PET/CT).

Traumatic pneumothorax and hemothorax are common consequences of chest injury, often requiring prompt tube thoracostomy to re-expand the lung and drain accumulated blood or air. Current practice varies widely regarding whether chest tubes should initially be placed to suction or to water seal, and prior studies have reported mixed findings. While suction may theoretically improve drainage and lung expansion, some studies suggest it may prolong air leaks and chest tube duration. Conversely, initial water seal has been associated with shorter tube duration without an increase in complications. The predecessor to this trial, the SEAL IT Trial, demonstrated that water seal reduced chest tube duration in patients with pneumothorax without an increase in complication, but excluded those with significant hemothorax. This single-center, randomized controlled trial (SUS-HPTX) will expand upon those findings by evaluating the effect of initial chest tube management strategy, suction versus water seal, in trauma patients with hemopneumothorax or hemothorax. Patients will be assigned to one of the two groups based on calendar month of enrollment, with clinicians able to adjust management as needed. The primary outcome is chest tube duration. Secondary outcomes include chest tube-related complications (e.g., empyema, pneumonia, re-accumulation of pneumothorax or hemothorax, need for additional procedures), hospital length of stay, readmissions, and mortality. Because both suction and water seal are accepted standards of care, the study involves minimal incremental risk. Findings will expand prior evidence and inform best practices for chest tube management in trauma

This phase I trial tests the safety and effectiveness of indium In 111 panitumumab (111In-panitumumab) for identifying the first lymph nodes to which cancer has spread from the primary tumor (sentinel lymph nodes) in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) undergoing surgery. The most important factor for survival for many cancer types is the presence of cancer that has spread to the lymph nodes (metastasis). Lymph node metastases in patients with head and neck cancer reduce the 5-year survival by half. Sometimes, the disease is too small to be found on clinical and imaging exams before surgery. 111In-panitumumab is in a class of medications called radioimmunoconjugates. It is composed of a radioactive substance (indium In 111) linked to a monoclonal antibody (panitumumab). Panitumumab binds to EGFR receptors, a receptor that is over-expressed on the surface of many tumor cells and plays a role in tumor cell growth. Once 111In-panitumumab binds to tumor cells, it is able to be seen using an imaging technique called single photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT). SPECT/CT can be used to make detailed pictures of the inside of the body and to visualize areas where the radioactive drug has been taken up by the cells. Using 111In-panitumumab with SPECT/CT imaging may improve identification of sentinel lymph nodes in patients with head and neck squamous cell cancer undergoing surgery.
