This research study aims to identify the national need of family medicine residency educators regarding point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) education and resources. The study will collect data on the state of POCUS education and resources at medical universities across the country through an optional survey sent to faculty who are members of the Society of Teachers of Family Medicine. The questions in the survey focus on the respondee's level of POCUS training, use of POCUS in their day-to-day practice, and desire for different forms of POCUS content to integrate into their residency programs. The data will be collected and evaluated using Qualtrics.
We are comparing the quality of feedback given to second year internal medicine residents by their peers vs. their supervisors, as well as feedback provided using a feedback vs. without the feedback tool.
To (1) test the Rome V Diagnostic Questionnaire, a new version of a questionnaire designed to assess the presence of 25 different Disorders of Gut-Brain Interaction (DGBI), (2) estimate the population prevalence of each of these 25 disorders in the adult population of different countries, (3) evaluate which demographic and personal factors are associated with having these DGBI, and (4) assess their impact on quality of life and emotional wellbeing.
The purpose of this study is to learn how the brain holds attention on important things while ignoring distractions. Every day, we need to focus on tasks like studying, driving, or making decisions, but it is not always easy to stay focused when other things grab our attention. This study will use special tools, like EEG (which measures brain activity), to understand what happens in the brain when attention stays focused on something. We are testing whether a specific brain signal, called SPCN, can show when attention is held on something for a longer time. To study this, participants will look at pictures, like happy faces and houses, and respond to where a small symbol appears on the screen. By studying how the brain reacts, we hope to learn more about how people can stay focused and avoid distractions.
Some patients are not able to urinate on their own right after surgery for pelvic organ prolapse so they have to go home with a catheter in their bladders. We want to know if it is safe and effective for them to remove their catheters the day after surgery instead of three days after surgery. If this is effective, they might have lower risk of bladder infection and higher satisfaction after surgery.
The goal of this project is to understand how community pharmacies work collaboratively with patients to reduce the harm that opioid misuse can cause. Investigators are also seeking to understand what challenges community pharmacies face when trying to decrease harm from opioids by supporting safe use of opioid medications and access to medications for opioid use disorder treatment and opioid overdose reversal. Information gathering efforts are being focused on community pharmacies that serve racial and ethnic minority communities in rural areas. Triangle CERSI scientists are working collaboratively with the FDA to survey and interview pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, patients, and other community members to collect and analyze data needed to better understand community pharmacy challenges in these areas. Ultimately, investigators seek to explore effective ways to reduce the harm from opioid misuse among underserved communities.
