Pilot Study to Evaluate Substances in Sweat, Saliva, and Blood
This trial collects and analyzes sweat and saliva samples compared to blood in detecting chemical concentrations in the body in patients with chronic or infectious diseases receiving medications. Wearable sweat sensors are capable of monitoring electrolytes and metabolites (sodium, potassium, glucose, lactate, etc.) for health monitoring and disease diagnosis. Designing wearable sweat sensors capable of providing information regarding drug administration may be challenging due to ultralow concentrations in biofluids. This trial seeks to determine if the use of a smart wristband can accurately measure the levels of chemicals and substances in sweat.

A Guided Meditation Program in Patients Undergoing Dialysis
This is an open-label, single center, non-randomized, single-arm pilot study to determine the ability of a Relaxation and Guided Imagery Program for its ability to induce a reduction in anxiety in subjects undergoing hemodialysis for End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). Measures will evaluate the program's ability to impact anxiety, with secondary analysis of headaches, insomnia, fatigue, and pain. Subjects will be administered questionnaires at the study start and study end. Intervention will involve listening to a pre-recorded guided relaxation and imagery during regularly-scheduled dialysis sessions for four weeks.

Impact of Meditation and Reiki on Assisted Reproduction Techniques Outcomes: a Randomized, Double Blinded, Placebo Controlled Trial
Infertility is estimated to affect 15% of reproductive age couples worldwide and is defined as the inability to conceive after 12 months of unprotected sex for women under 35 or 6 months for women over 35 and is associated with stress, especially due to psychological factors such as anxiety, frustration and depression. In addition, women seeking treatment for pregnancy suffer additional stressors - significant emotional burdens and physical changes that can increase stress and anxiety levels. The possibility of an association between emotional stress and pregnancy outcome in women undergoing assisted reproduction treatment makes important therapies that address the psychological state of these women. Meditation and Reiki have been used to successfully reduce stress and anxiety in various health contexts. Reiki is a complementary health approach in which practitioners lightly place their hands on or just above a person to facilitate their own healing response. Reiki has been used as an adjunctive therapy to treat the symptoms common to infertile women seeking treatment, including anxiety, stress, depression, anger, despair and depression. Reviews of randomized controlled trials concluded that implementation of the Reiki intervention in health centers resulted in mental health benefits, including reduced tension, mental confusion, anxiety and pain as well as improved quality of life. Meditation can be defined as a form of mental training aimed at improving an individual's psychological capacities, such as attentional and emotional self-regulation. Meditation encompasses a family of practices that include mindfulness meditation, mantra meditation, yoga, tai chi and chi gong. Meditation has been used specifically in women undergoing IVF treatment to successfully reduce symptoms related to psychological distress. Studies measure the development of self-compassion, mechanisms of emotion regulation, and coping strategies related to infertility and quality of life in infertility. However, only one study showed a relationship between meditation and pregnancy rate. Unfortunately, the authors incorporated yoga and psychological approaches into meditation. Therefore, we designed this study to evaluate the impact of Meditation and Reiki on the outcome of assisted reproduction treatment.
