To evaluate the impact of environmental exposures during pregnancy on women's cardio-metabolic health in the years following the pregnancy.

The purpose of our study is to increase our understanding of how hearing affects balance performance in older adults. This will help us know whether older adults with balance concerns should be screened for hearing loss and whether use of hearing aids may be important for improving balance and preventing falls in older adults with hearing loss.

We are assessing clinician and breast cancer survivors' perceptions of our interactive, artificial intelligence-based decision aid, designed to help inform patients who are considering breast reconstruction after mastectomy.

This research study aims to improve the resolution of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging to reduce radiation exposure using software.

This study is about how young adults use generative AI, which can create text, images, and more. We want to learn why they use these tools, how they feel about them, and whether using them is connected to their personality and mental health. Understanding this can help us know more about how these technologies affect people's lives.

To test the safety of the trial drug, MK-8527 compared to emtricitabine/tenofovir (FTC/TDF) and to see how well MK-8527 works to reduce the chance of getting HIV-1 infection compared to FTC/TDF.

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the impact of the Well-Being Initiative for Woman Faculty of Color (the "Program") on overall well-being, career advancement and professional success. The Program is designed for early and mid-career Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) women faculty at U.S. Schools of Pharmacy and Departments of Pharmacology at research-intensive institutions. The UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy, in collaboration with Houston Wellness Workshops for Women (H3W), has developed this two-year program to support the well-being and professional advancement of BIPOC women faculty in pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences research. Participants in the study will take voluntary surveys during the Program to evaluate three factors: well-being, burnout, and self-efficacy in their professional academic roles before and after completing the Program.

To compare the effect of different types of nail polish on bacterial counts before and after surgical scrubbing.

To develop a curriculum for resident education in ultrasound for quality improvement in diagnosis, surveillance and management of multiple areas

Healthcare acquired infections (HAIs) contribute substantially to the burden of morbidity and mortality among hospitalized patients in the United States and are a significant economic burden on the healthcare system. Approximately 3-5% of patients in the United States contract a HAI during the course of their treatment, and an estimated $7-14 billion are spent annually on treating these infections. HAIs also contribute to development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), placing additional burden on the healthcare system and substantially raising the costs of treatment. Novel microbiome engineering technologies that address the HAI problem are currently being developed by researchers. We will conduct a qualitative study to assess the factors influencing the adoption of novel microbiome engineering among hospital nurses in the United States.
