I'm doing a project to learn how Lumbee food traditions are kept alive today. I'm talking with Lumbee community members about the meals they cook, the gardens they grow, and the stories they remember. These food traditions, like making cornbread or growing collards, help show who we are and where we come from. I want to understand how these traditions are passed down in families and shared in the community, even as times change. By recording these stories, I hope to help keep them alive for future generations.
To find out if the addition of 2 blocks of inotuzumab ozogamicin to the standard chemotherapy regimen will improve outcomes in children and young adults with High-Risk (HR) B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL).

To compare disease-free survival (DFS) as assessed by the investigator for high-risk renal cell carcinoma patients treated with adjuvant pembrolizumab and tivozanib versus those receiving pembrolizumab alone.
The purpose of this study is to assess how the use of community health-workers for human papillomavirus (HPV) testing influences the number of women living with HIV who get screened for cervical cancer.

The purpose of this research study is to determine the cause and mechanism of alpha-gal mammalian meat allergy. Alpha-gal is a novel food allergy that we have only come to recognize in recent years. It seems to preferentially affect people who reside in certain geographic areas, with the southeastern US (including North Carolina) being one.
We are studying how to better care for people who come to the emergency room with chest pain. Right now, doctors use a tool called the HEART score to decide how serious the chest pain is and what tests the patient might need. But for patients who are in the "middle risk" group, it's hard to tell if they really need more heart tests or not. This can lead to too many tests and overcrowding in the hospital. Our study looks at new ways to help doctors decide which of these patients actually need more testing, so they can give the right care more quickly and avoid unnecessary delays or tests.
