The purpose of this research study is to learn more about the quality of life for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
For more information, please visit our website: https://cecs.unc.edu The purpose of this research study is to learn more about the diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship experiences of adults with endometrial cancer. Initial enrollment goals are for 1,800 adults living in North Carolina at the time of their recent first diagnosis of endometrial cancer. This project will provide important data for integrating tumor biology, access to care, and other factors to identify contributors, and potential areas for intervention to address endometrial cancer disparities. Study staff will pursue annual follow-ups with participants, requesting updates to treatment status and quality of life measures for approximately 5yrs.
The purpose of this study is to build a database of information and a collection of specimens like blood and skin from patients with hidradenitis suppurativa. This will help us understand hidradenitis suppurativa better and help researchers have access to good information and resources for studies.
The objectives of this pivotal clinical trial are to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the PASCAL System for transcatheter tricuspid valve repair with OMT (optimal medical therapy) compared to OMT alone in the treatment of patients with symptomatic severe tricuspid regurgitation.
Our project will provide 5 rural pharmacies with tailored, evidence-based technical assistance and support to overcome buprenorphine dispensing barriers. Our goal is to build the capacity of rural community pharmacies to improve access to MOUD and reduce overdose deaths in their communities.
We are studying how young people respond to vaping prevention video ads. We are inviting people aged 13-20 to participate in this research. Participants will watch some short videos about vaping and answer a survey. The whole process will take approximately 20 minutes. Feedback will help improve future vaping prevention efforts.
The project is developed to understand the clinical impact of a novel wearable sensor on pressure ulcer monitoring among lower limb amputation. This project includes three major testing procedures: 1) using able-body participants to demonstrate the effectiveness of the sensing system 2) using transtibial amputees without pressure ulcers to evaluate the performance of the sensing system in the challenging environment inside the socket 3) using transtibial amputees with diagnosed pressure ulcer to step up a clinical standard to use this sensing system.
The goal of this NIH-funded study is to chart development in young autistic children to see how development varies by diagnosis and sex/gender. To do this, we will see families four times over the course of 18 months. Children will complete eye tracking tasks and behavioral assessments.
To check to see if teaching patients sign language before surgery will help with communicating after surgery when they cannot talk
The purpose of this research study is to try and teach a computer program to assess how a dialysis vascular access fistula is maturing, when it could be ready to put needles in, or when it needs to be fixed to allow it to mature better; based on the electronic stethoscope recordings.
