The purpose of this research study is to understand relationships between youth-led social movements and democratic governance in Nepal. We are conducting semi-structured interviews with protesters and people in the Nepali government.
This study has two purposes. First, to assess National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) employees' sport betting behaviors. Next, this study will explore NCAA employees' perceptions of legislation that now allows them to bet on professional sport.
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.
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.
The purpose of this study is to learn how common over-the-counter nasal rinse products change the level of nitric oxide inside the nose. Nitric oxide is a natural gas our bodies make, and it may tell us useful information about how the nose works. By measuring nitric oxide before and after using these products, we hope to better understand how they affect the nose.
We are measuring the biomarker Lp(a) in Bolivian hunter gatherers using stored specimens.
To determine how using GenAI (Generative AI) in search influences user experience and search behavior for undergraduate students when completing complex search tasks.
The purpose of this study is to understand how people use and understand language in everyday situations. We want to learn how things like life experiences, reading skills, or knowing more than one language affect how people speak, listen, and read.
The purpose of this study is to test how easy it is for people to use a mobile app we created. The app shows fake health data from smartwatches/fitness trackers (like Fitbit) to help doctors and patients track how well antidepressant medications are working. We want to see if people can easily understand and use the app before we test it in future medical research settings.
The purpose of this study is to learn more about how metastatic breast cancer changes over time and how those changes may affect which treatments work best. By studying tumor tissue and blood samples, researchers hope to identify specific features, called biomarkers, that can help match each person to the treatment that's most likely to help them. This information may also help doctors better understand why some cancers respond to treatment and others do not, so that future patients can receive more personalized care.
