The purpose of the study is to use a diagnostic evaluation and genetic testing to confirm a diagnosis of Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD) or Primary Immune Deficiencies (PID) in subjects who have presented with suppurative lung disease.
The purpose is to better understand the function of newly identified genes that when mutated cause the disease primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), or clinical disorders that share clinical features of PCD. PCD is a rare disease that is caused by defects in the structure or function of cilia that move mucus and inhaled foreign material, including bacteria and viruses, out of the airways. By understanding how the proteins encoded by these genes function and how this function is altered in disease, we may be able to improve the treatments available for PCD and other airway diseases.
The purpose of this research study is to understand relationships between local policy and social movement organizing on climate change.
We want to know how people learn words in a language that is unfamiliar to them.
The purpose of this study is to learn how muscles change when people breathe air with less oxygen, like being high up in the mountains. We will use a safe ultrasound tool, called shear wave elastography, to take pictures of the muscles and see how they react. This information can help scientists understand how the body responds to high altitudes and may help athletes and travelers stay healthy in these conditions.
This study looks at how people learn when using generative AI tools like ChatGPT compared to search engines like Google. We want to understand how these tools affect the way people think, plan, and reflect while searching for and learning new information.
We will be doing group interviews with users of the Billings Ovulation Method which is a fertility awareness method. We want to better understand their experience with and thoughts about the method.
The purpose of this study is to examine how state licensure boards regulate the use of remote or tele-supervision for behavioral health clinicians pursuing independent licensure. Advances in telehealth have expanded opportunities for virtual clinical supervision, yet regulations vary widely across professions and states. Understanding how remote supervision is defined, implemented, and restricted can inform policy efforts to strengthen workforce capacity, particularly in rural and underserved areas.
We examine how Kenyan citizens respond to information from international election observation missions (EOMs).
We are looking to better understand the impacts of intimate partner violence on those with cystic fibrosis.
