The study is designed to look at Crohn's disease over a period time, from before a surgery to 12 months after the surgery has taken place. The role bacteria in the gut plays in Crohn's disease (CD) is not well understood. Which particular microbes contribute to disease remain unknown. In CD, ~70% of patients will end up requiring surgery due to chronic unrelenting complications, and ~50% require additional surgery. We hope to identify key microbes at the time of surgery in stool and tissue and correlate it over time with data collected at timepoints after surgery. We will use this data with clinical information to determine if specific microbes are associated with disease recurrence.

The purpose of this Heart Failure Research Registry is to collect relevant patient-level demographic, clinical, laboratory and hemodynamic data from CardioMEMS patients to advance scientific knowledge about pulmonary hemodynamics and heart failure therapies.

The purpose of this evaluation will be to assess how the NC-DSS competencies and learning objectives for the Child Welfare in North Carolina -Pre-service Course are integrated into the curriculum of NC Social Work programs participating in the NC-Child Welfare Education Collaborative (NC-CWEC) program. NC-CWEC is a statewide consortium of social work programs that are incorporating NC-DSS competencies and learning objectives that address child welfare practice into the curriculum of their social work programs.

The purpose of this study is to understand how your gut plays a role in how well CAR T cell therapy works. Your gut is home to bacteria, which we call the gut microbiome. The gut microbiome can send signals to your immune cells, which may impact how well and how long CAR T cell therapy will last. We can find out what type of bacteria are in your gut microbiome by studying your stool. We can understand more about the signals sent to the immune system by studying your blood. We will ask for stool and blood at the same time points throughout your treatment. We will study the identities and function of the bacteria and immune cells to understand more about how these signals work during CAR T cell treatment.

To develop a curriculum for resident education in ultrasound for quality improvement in diagnosis, surveillance and management of multiple areas

The purpose of this research study is to collect data about attitudes towards social topics in the news.

The purpose of this study is to develop and refine an entrusable professional activities (EPA) framework that can be utilized nationwide by dental hygiene programs. EPAs will help to enhance the standardization of practice among graduating clinicians in dental hygiene. By utilizing an EPA framework this will help to bring a legitimacy to the clinicians' ability to provide appropriate patient care to their communities.

Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) is a commonly prescribed technology for restoration of limb function and muscular rehabilitation. FES works by artificially stimulating muscle fibers to generate a contraction. However, one of the main issues with the use of FES is the rapid onset of muscle fatigue, which makes it difficult to perform long-term periodic motions such as walking. Recent research has shown methods successful at mitigating the impact of muscle fatigue using multiple electrodes. Instead of using the traditional approach of two FES pads targeting a specific muscle group, this study will use multiple electrodes and cycles the order in which the electrodes are stimulating thus targeting specific muscles within the muscle group and reducing the muscle fatigue. However, how to optimize the current through multiple electrodes is not known yet. This study will help determine the optimization of multiple electrodes for reducing fatigue.

The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of life plotting as an intervention while honoring the voices of disabled people of color participating in the intervention.

Although speech-language pathologists (SLPs) have an important role in the development of literacy according to the American Speech-Language Hearing Association, they are not assessing and/or treating literacy at the same rates as oral language. There is a need to examine the reasons for this through surveying speech-language pathologists on areas such as the extent of pre-service training they received on literacy. There is also a need to ascertain what SLPs current clinical experiences of literacy are and what the literacy profiles of children and adolescents on their workloads are.
