We are conducting a survey to further understand the physical symptoms and healthcare experiences related to non-hormonal practices of gender affirmation for transgender, nonbinary, and gender diverse adults. These include binding, tucking, packing, padding, and other practices. There is community knowledge that many of these practices can lead to physical symptoms and consequences, but there are few studies that demonstrate this. We are interested in exploring what the burden of symptoms are in our community, and what the community member response is.

There are 3 primary aims of this study: 1) Observe the status of individuals, of all age, sports, activities, on key patient reported outcomes and measures of neuromuscular control when the reach different return to activity milestones following an ankle sprain as determined by themselves, parents, and/or medical provider. 2) To develop a normative database of scores for the key patient reported outcomes and measures of neuromuscular control for individuals of all ages, sports, and activities to help individuals determine if / how well they have recovered from their ankle sprain. 3) Determine if the key patient reported outcomes and measures of neuromuscular control can predict risk of reinjury when individuals, of all ages, sports, activities, return to sport following an ankle sprain.

Belatacept is a drug that helps kidney transplant recipients by preventing the body from rejecting the new organ. We want to compare how well belatacept works compared to the commonly used drug tacrolimus. To do this, we plan to study people who got kidney transplants in the United States from 2011 to 2020. By using two large databases, the United States Renal Data System, and the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients, we aim to understand how belatacept is used in real life. We are also interested in comparing how effective and safe is belatacept compared with tacrolimus after one year of administration. We will look at outcomes like how long the transplanted kidney will work, how long will the kidney transplant recipients live, how well your kidneys will work, the risk of organ rejection, and certain side effects to happen after transplant like blood cancer.

The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility and acceptability of a Food is Medicine intervention when started during the first trimester of pregnancy. The eating pattern we are testing in this study is a Mediterranean-style dietary pattern adapted for the southern United States - thus, we call the program "Med-South." All who take part will receive Med-South dietary counseling. In addition, to help participants follow a Med-style dietary pattern, one group of study participants will receive extra virgin olive oil and nuts. The other group will receive extra virgin olive oil, nuts, and frozen meals (medically tailored meals) that align with the Med-South dietary pattern. Participants will be assigned at random (like flipping a coin) to one of these groups.
