The aim of this project is to assess the procedural skills of residents before and after implementation of a Urogynecology Resident Bootcamp prior to the start of their Urogynecology rotation. This bootcamp will include surgical simulations with a focus on vaginal hysterectomies. The bootcamp will also include assembly of a cystoscope and a video demonstrating cystoscopy during a urogynecologic surgery. As is currently routine in our program, residents will receive feedback using a formative feedback system called myTIPreport after they perform surgeries during the rotation. We hypothesize that this bootcamp will improve residents' feedback on performing a hysterectomy when compared to residents' feedback prior to implementation of this curriculum using myTIPreport. We will also evaluate if there is a change with overall resident satisfaction with the Urogynecology rotation and comfort level with performing vaginal hysterectomies in independent practice.
We are doing this study to learn if exercise impacts the effect of social tasks on energy use and heart function. Since exercise may impact metabolic factors such as energy use as well as the impact of social situations on cardiovascular disease, we want to see how exercise impacts the effect of social situations on energy and metabolism, and whether this may affect your heart health.
Have you had or are planning to have ACL reconstruction? You may be able to take part in a research study to help us learn more about the outcomes following surgery after a lower limb injury. We are also looking for healthy volunteers between the ages of 12-64 to take part. We will provide you with a report of your results after testing!
In this study, we want to learn more about health behaviors and access to health information from families with children under six.
Do you sit too much at school, at work, or at home? Would you like to know how this relates to your heart health? If you are a student at UNC then you may be able to take part in this research study. If you decide to take part, you will be contributing important data that may allow us to design effective sedentary behavior interventions. Compensation is provided ($100 gift card).
Want to help improve the treatment of people with chronic blood cancers? We are looking for healthy volunteers to take part in a simple blood-draw study. If you are generally healthy and are not taking blood thinners, you may be able to help improve treatment for patients with chronic blood cancers by donating a tablespoon of blood. This study aims to understand why individuals with chronic blood cancers have a high risk of blood clots as compared to healthy individuals, by comparing (1) the ability of blood to clot in a test tube and (2) changes in white blood cells that make them more likely to stick to blood vessels between healthy individuals and individuals with chronic blood cancers.
The purpose of this study is to assess if a filmed dramatized story intervention (telenovela/soap opera) called Infección de Amor (Love Infection), a culturally tailored and technology delivered intervention for Latinas in the United States (US) can help Latinas prevent HIV infection. Participants will be Latinas ages 18-44 years who report sexual activity with a man in the last 6 months, have internet access from any device, and reside in NC.
Does your child need a dental exam and cleaning? Your child may be able to take part in a research study where we explore ways of calming and reducing discomfort in children during dental exams and cleanings. Compensation will be provided.
The purpose of this research study is to identify changes in the language during the COVID-19 pandemic in population with or without a history of trauma.
Many young athletes who tear their ACL have trouble getting back to sport or suffer a second ACL injury once they do. We aim to improve athletes' ability to get back to sport safely. We want to make the activities athletes perform in rehabilitation more closely match the demands of what they do once they return to their sport. We also aim to develop low-cost ways to measure how the knee is moving during those activities. *This study is a collaboration with the UNC Sports Medicine Institute*
