To evaluate the impact of the Test to Know training for community pharmacists in North Carolina.

To determine whether primary fascial defect closure is associated with improved clinical and patient-reported outcomes following inguinal hernia repair,

Transgender and non-binary (TGNB) individuals face documented disparities in healthcare access, provider bias, and surgical outcomes across multiple specialties. In general surgery, and specifically hernia repair, data on the clinical characteristics, surgical approach, and outcomes in TGNB populations remain scarce. This study seeks to address a significant gap in surgical literature by characterizing the care of TGNB individuals undergoing hernia repair.

This study will gather information on cultural and linguistic background, academic training and work experiences in order to better understand how Speech-Language Pathologists develop the skills, knowledge and attitudes that help provide appropriate services to diverse populations.

We are conducting a research study to explore the limitations of working memory load on initial attention capture and the precise timing of subsequent hold. In our foundational framework, we are incorporating a diverse range of stimuli to comprehensively capture attention and evaluate hold across two different attention paradigms.

Study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the InnAVasc Arteriovenous Graft (IG) for hemodialysis (HD) access in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD).

This research seeks to document the lived experiences of Zambians in this context of climate-induced vulnerability, food insecurity and poverty, among others. It also aims to hold historically high-emitting nations accountable while exploring Indigenous and community-based solutions like the Zaï method that offer sustainable pathways for adaptation and resilience.

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the leading cause of blindness in working age Americans. Vision loss due to DR can be prevented with early detection and treatment. However, the rate of retinopathy screening remains low. Pharmacies are often a patient's primary point of contact with the health profession. Hence, this study aims to determine the feasibility of integrating a portable handheld camera for eye screening without the need for pupil dilation at pharmacies located in rural and urban areas of North Carolina. The average consumer visits a pharmacy 35 times per year, making pharmacies an ideal setting for evaluating this DR screening model. Additionally, we will also assess the feasibility of integrating an automated grading system for retinal images. If successful, results from this study can be used to increase and improve community-based health care by integrating pharmacies and clinical care.

The purpose of this study is to examine people's intentions to perform different health behaviors, and what individual factors predict these intentions.

We have created this registry to provide an opportunity to study diagnostic capabilities, administration protocols and long-term effects of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) of any organ.
