The purpose of this study is to identify specific barriers to preventing a late stage cancer diagnosis within communities identified in North Carolina as having a higher rate of advanced cancer diagnoses.
Hand osteoarthritis is a common cause of hand pain and often does not require referral to rheumatology. With the anticipated workforce shortage of rheumatologists, referral trends to rheumatology for osteoarthritis need to be further evaluated. We will be conducting online surveys with UNC healthcare providers to gauge their understanding and comfort in diagnosing and managing patients with hand osteoarthritis. This will include short hand osteoarthritis video recordings covering various aspects including diagnosis, differential diagnosis, management, prognosis and appropriate referral procedures to rheumatology. This data will provide us information about comfort level in diagnosis, management and understand referral patterns from primary care providers.
Study the effectiveness and safety of Epeleuton
This is a research study to evaluate the comparative effectiveness and tolerability of outpatient transrectal prostate biopsy versus transperineal prostate biopsy, both MRI-targeted.
The purpose of this study is to improve the intake assessment tool of homeless shelters, to better meet the needs of the potential residents. This will be done by identifying and addressing gaps in the intake assessment tools that homeless shelters use. Specifically, it will focus on addressing gaps related to social determinants of health (SDOH). By identifying and addressing these gaps, homeless shelters will be able to better assess the SDOH needs of their potential residents. This will help identify more needs of homeless individuals, promote health, and reduce the risk for negative health outcomes in this population.
Apex has a policy that applies for the most part to developers building new neighborhoods, that requires them to either dedicate part of their land to a park or a greenway, or pay a fee to the town if they don't. This policy was put in place in 2017 and the town has grown and changed a lot, I want to recommend how they can change that policy to get the best benefit for residents, as far as park and greenway access, and be fair to developers and easy to understand by everyone.
To evaluate the efficacy of nipocalimab compared with placebo on reducing the risk of fetal anemia with live neonates in pregnant participants at risk for severe HDFN.
Patient-specific information needed to inform decisions and actions (e.g., additional vaccinations, special considerations when sick) about care for adolescents with IBD is often not available at the point of care and decision making. We believe tailored self-management guidance, available to patients and community providers in a plain-language, tabular format, can improve care quality and completion of evidence-based health actions.
