The utility of syndromic management for STIs is predicated on up-to-date information on the etiologies of the syndromes being treated. Periodic assessments of N. gonorrhoeae among women presenting to care with LAP and AVD+ are important for treatment guidelines.

The purpose of the TEACH Study is to collect data on whether mood symptoms and estrogen levels change during the first month after hysterectomy for uterine fibroids and/or abnormal uterine bleeding. These results may help us understand whether mood symptoms and hormone levels change during this time, which will help us better support women who undergo this surgery in the future. During this study, we will collect mood questionnaires and hormone levels (sometimes in blood and sometimes in saliva) weekly through the first month after surgery.
PharmAlliance is a global partnership between the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy, Monash University Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, and UCL School of Pharmacy. Numerous achievements such as publications, grants, student exchanges, and teaching innovations have resulted from this international alliance. Existing research, however, does not look into specific characteristics of successful international collaborations. In this observational study, collaborators in PharmAlliance will be surveyed and interviewed in order to determine characteristics of successful international teams in pharmacy and more broadly.
The results of this study will inform pre-surgical, in-hospital, and post-discharge interventions aimed at optimizing outcomes and driving quality improvement processes at Kamuzu Central Hospital. This study seeks to identify the incidence of common post-surgical complications and patient reported HRQOL outcomes after surgical intervention in orthopedic trauma at KCH. This information will be useful to the surgical team at KCH, other Malawian surgical departments, and patients and surgeons in other counties in sub-Saharan Africa. Furthermore, this study will help inform care and resource allocation in Malawi.
