The purpose of this study is to create a biobank by collecting and storing specimens, such as blood and tissue, along with medical information such as demographics and treatment, from a large group of patients with pancreatic tumors. This biobank can then be used by future studies focused on pancreatic tumors.

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.

Theory is needed to understand determinants of implementation at the organizational level. Developing a framework of implementation determinants based on organizational theory will leverage decades of untapped scholarship to optimize efforts to improve clinical practice.

To create a multi-centered prospective registry of individuals ≥60 years ("older adults") with IBD to quantify prevalence, incidence and progression of frailty, multi-morbidity, physical and cognitive impairment

To check to see if teaching patients sign language before surgery will help with communicating after surgery when they cannot talk

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.

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.

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.

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.

Professionalism is the first of six core competencies required in the curriculum of residency programs. Significant research has been done exploring the domains of professionalism in general and within the context of anesthesiology and anesthesiology training. Although little research has been done to identify breaches in professionalism most common today, research has shown there is a correlation between unprofessional behavior among physicians and patient dissatisfaction, lawsuits, and negative patient outcomes. The purpose of this study is to identify the most commonly perceived domains of unprofessional behavior observed in anesthesiology residency training programs. Additionally, we wish to see if professional lapses may stem from generational differences between teachers and trainees in their perception of professional behavior.
