This study is looking to compare the outcomes and cost of treating infected joints with surgery or aspiration with a needle combined with injection of antibiotics. Many patients with infected joints are too sick to safely go to the operating room for surgery, thus we are investigating outcomes and cost of less invasive treatment options such as using a needle to aspirate the joint and inject antibiotics.

You are being asked to participate in this research study because you have a type of tumor called a Central Nervous System (CNS) tumor, and you are scheduled to have surgery to remove this tumor. The study team wants to use left-over tumor samples from this surgery to study your tumor and test new ways to fight it.

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is the leading cause of death and disability in preterm infants. Despite advances in the care of neonates in general, the survival of infants with NEC remains low, in part due to our inability to predict which infants are at risk for the development of this disease.

The purpose of the study is to understand the way students are assigned to teachers in K-12 schools and ideas for improving the process.

This study will be the first to investigate potential linkages between early life adversity, parenting quality, child self-regulation, and biological aging during the critical period in early childhood when telomeres are eroding most rapidly and may be most susceptible to environmental input. The long-term goal is to determine how early adversity becomes biologically embedded in early childhood in order to prevent or mitigate risk to later health and wellness. Findings will provide important information to help in the development and/or optimization of early risk-mitigating intervention and prevention efforts to improve the quality of life for children.

This is a longitudinal cohort study with a concurrent mixed-methods design to determine the interrelationship between how stroke survivors adapt to and longitudinal changes in fatigue and recovery of physical function within 6 months poststroke (during index hospitalization, 1, 3, and 6 months).

The SISTER study is comparing different kinds of support for Black patients during endometrial cancer treatment. SISTER is a "randomized controlled trial", or RCT. This means that if you decide to volunteer, a computer will assign you to a group. There are three groups in the study, and you will get support no matter what group you are in. You will also complete surveys and give us permission to collect information from your medical record that is related to the study.

Purpose is to evaluate the ear tube simulator and compare to actual ear tube placement in patient.
