This research trial studies kidney tumors in younger patients. Collecting and storing samples of tumor tissue, blood, and urine from patients with cancer to study in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and identify biomarkers related to cancer.
I am looking to see if meaningful social interactions play an important role in the lives of gig workers. I am specifically looking to see if interactions between worker and customer have profound affect on the well-being of gig workers.
The purpose of this study will be to explore the recordkeeping practices of college students who have experienced the death of a loved one. The recordkeeping practices will be generally defined as actions taken to collect and maintain objects, photographs, and other memorabilia, both physical and digital, in remembrance of the deceased. This non-generalizable study serves to create avenues of awareness within the library science community regarding bereaved college students, identifying potential methods of support that can be provided from the field and areas of collaboration with other specialties.
The primary purpose of this work is to engage a broad group of stakeholders to implement a patient-centered approach to the de-adoption of self-monitored blood glucose among non-insulin-treated patients with Type two Diabetes Mellitus. We will evaluate the effectiveness of Rethink the Strip finalize and package it for nationwide dissemination.
The purpose of this study is to determine which new magnetic resonance sequences provide better, faster and more useful information. A sequence is a distinct method of obtaining magnetic resonance (MR) images. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exam is made up of many different imaging sequences. These new sequences will be implemented on either on a 3 Tesla (3T) MR system, a 7 Tesla (7T) MR system (single- or multi- transmit), or both. Since the signal-to-noise ratio for MR images is highly dependent on the magnetic field strength, the anticipated signal-to-noise will be 7T greater than 3T and 3T greater than 1.5T systems. The 3T MR system is FDA approved whereas the 7T system is not FDA approved, but is built to the same standards as other FDA approved scanners. In addition, the FDA has approved magnetic field strength up to 8T for human imaging. Participants will be told ahead
We are exploring the relationship between participation in the FIT Program with health outcomes, recidivism, and healthcare utilization for people who are coming out of incarceration and who have chronic illnesses.
The ASPIRE trial aims to study anticoagulant medications in patients who have had an intracerebral hemorrhage (bleeding in the brain) who also have atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeats). Participants who agree to study participation will receive either Aspirin or Apixaban and followed for 12-36 months to see if they have any other strokes, and follow their general recovery after stroke.
While the identification of autism in females has steadily increased, there remains a critical gap in our understanding of female specific issues for autistic females , such as menstruation, pregnancy, motherhood, and menopause. Menopause marks a key reproductive transition period for females. The purpose of this study is to characterize mental health challenges and experiences during the menopause via a three-pronged, mixed methods study, employing a large scale online survey followed by in-depth interviews and daily diaries across a complete menstrual cycle.
To generate information on the undergraduate experience at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill from currently enrolled students. This survey is processed every other year.
