This study is to see if a special type of ultrasound can detect fluid in lungs, with the ultimate goal that maybe this ultrasound technique can be used in the future to help patients with heart failure.

The primary objective of the proposed project is to demonstrate the effects of limited physical facility infrastructure, diminished supplies, and gaps in Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) knowledge among Healthcare Personnel on IPC practice implementation at the health facility level to inform efficient and effective future improvement efforts.

The purpose of this study to understand employee reactions to observations about their work environment, specifically emotions experienced from their coworker's behavior.

The purpose of the TEACH Study is to collect data on whether mood symptoms and estrogen levels change during the first month after hysterectomy for uterine fibroids and/or abnormal uterine bleeding. These results may help us understand whether mood symptoms and hormone levels change during this time, which will help us better support women who undergo this surgery in the future. During this study, we will collect mood questionnaires and hormone levels (sometimes in blood and sometimes in saliva) weekly through the first month after surgery.

The purpose of this study is to assess caregiver perspectives to inform a mindfulness-based intervention for promoting information uptake in caregivers for people with aphasia.

We are gathering information and research to understand the experience and perception undergraduate students have to accessing information related to health services and resources online.

This study focuses on how communities near the coast deal with frequent but shallow flooding. We focus on small towns in Carteret County, NC, where families have lived for a long time. We want to talk to residents here to understand how they see their quality of life changing as flooding increases. We also want to see if their tolerance for this type of flooding changes depending on how bad it is and which areas are affected. By talking to residents and modeling flooding, we hope to characterize how livable this place may be in the future considering these floods.

To evaluate the demographic, psychosocial, parenting and family characteristics associated with grief and depression severity in bereaved parents with dependent children.

Scuba divers are at risk of developing decompression sickness (DCS). This study aims to understand how different gases breathed during the dive (notably helium vs nitrogen) can influence that risk by quantifying bubbles that form during and after diving and other inflammatory markers, both shown to relate to DCS risk.

PharmAlliance is a global partnership between the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy, Monash University Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, and UCL School of Pharmacy. Numerous achievements such as publications, grants, student exchanges, and teaching innovations have resulted from this international alliance. Existing research, however, does not look into specific characteristics of successful international collaborations. In this observational study, collaborators in PharmAlliance will be surveyed and interviewed in order to determine characteristics of successful international teams in pharmacy and more broadly.
