Use of a 3 Tesla and 7 Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging Systems to Image Normal Volunteers

The purpose of this study is to determine which new magnetic resonance sequences provide better, faster and more useful information. A sequence is a distinct method of obtaining magnetic resonance (MR) images. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exam is made up of many different imaging sequences. These new sequences will be implemented on either on a 3 Tesla (3T) MR system, a 7 Tesla (7T) MR system (single- or multi- transmit), or both. Since the signal-to-noise ratio for MR images is highly dependent on the magnetic field strength, the anticipated signal-to-noise will be 7T greater than 3T and 3T greater than 1.5T systems. The 3T MR system is FDA approved whereas the 7T system is not FDA approved, but is built to the same standards as other FDA approved scanners. In addition, the FDA has approved magnetic field strength up to 8T for human imaging. Participants will be told ahead

Rethink The Strip: De-adoption of Glucose Monitoring in Non-Insulin Treated Type 2 Diabetes in Primary Care

The primary purpose of this work is to engage a broad group of stakeholders to implement a patient-centered approach to the de-adoption of self-monitored blood glucose among non-insulin-treated patients with Type two Diabetes Mellitus. We will evaluate the effectiveness of Rethink the Strip finalize and package it for nationwide dissemination.

Improving Physical Activity and Balance after Total Knee Replacement

The purpose of this research study is to compare how well two types of physical therapy (PT) programs work for people who have recently had total knee replacement (TKR). One program is typical postoperative PT. The other program is typical postoperative PT with additional balance training and physical activity coaching. By doing this study, we hope to provide people who have TKR in the future, as well as their health care providers, with information that will help people following TKR to increase their physical activity and improve their walking mechanics after TKR.

Registry for Adults with Lymphoma

The purpose of this research study is to create a Lymphoma Registry of patients who are willing to complete the study's comprehensive assessment. The assessment is designed to gather information on memory, nutritional status, mental health, and level social support. It is also designed to understand how well you carry out your day to day activities and to briefly describe what other medical conditions you may have. This assessment will help your health care team determine your "functional age" (the age you function at) as compared to how many years old you are. We will also ask you to complete questionnaires that ask questions about your personal health history, such as exercise and smoking,

Pharmacy based diabetic eye screening

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.
