The purpose of this research study is to monitor how well patients with fatty liver disease can follow clinician-recommended diet and exercise before their liver surgery. Our goal is to understand patient adherence to weight-related goals, weight loss, physical activity, and improved liver health. You are being asked to be in the study because you are a patient with fatty liver disease planning to have liver surgery.
The purpose of this study is to examine how Prospect Theory and Goals Systems Theory influence participants' probabilistic thinking and decision-making processes.
We are collecting cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) from Normal Pressure Hydrocephaly (NPH) patients to generate a biosample research repository. This repository will be used to research CSF biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease that may enhance our ability to detect and monitor Alzheimer's disease diagnoses and progression.
Compare the outcomes of dinutuximab given early with Induction therapy to the effects of standard Induction therapy with the addition of dinutuximab later in therapy in people with high-risk neuroblastoma (HRNBL) to find out which is better.
Our experimental aims are to 1) evaluate two methods for collecting dried blood spots (i.e., finger prick versus Tasso M20) and 2) examine correlations between psychological variables and pro-inflammatory markers. To achieve these, we will be implementing a course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) and plan to assess its effectiveness in student success (e.g., academic performance, involvement in research, and retention in STEM).
To optimize messages for a larger intervention.
We are trying to develop the prototype pf a mobile health app for smoking cessation and want to get the input of members of the community who use tobacco products.
This project studies how our ability to hear with two ears changes as we age or develop hearing loss.
Black women in the United States disproportionately experience adverse maternal health outcomes across income and education levels compared to women of other racial and ethnic groups. Still, there is limited knowledge about Black immigrants in the U.S. Black immigrants will make up about a third of the U.S. Black population by 2060. There is urgency in supporting their pregnancy and birthing outcomes. This study will conduct secondary analyses of existing data and also focus groups with Black immigrant birthing people to identify factors in the health care system that can support optimal pregnancy and birthing outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to explore undergraduate students' experiences with AI-based writing assistants. The study aims to understand how students use these tools, their perceptions of their effectiveness, and any challenges or benefits they encounter. Insights from this research may contribute to a better understanding of the role AI plays in academic writing and could inform future educational practices or support services related to AI usage in higher education.
