We are studying how myasthenia gravis (MG) affects women during important life stages like menstruation, pregnancy, and breastfeeding. MG is a rare, chronic condition causing muscle weakness. Many women with MG notice changes in symptoms during their periods or pregnancies. We want to understand these changes better to help doctors treat female MG patients more effectively. By collecting information through surveys, we aim to learn about symptom fluctuations related to hormonal changes and identify patterns. This study will provide valuable insights into the unique experiences of women with MG during these life stages, guiding future medical practices and improving care for individuals managing this condition.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been gaining lots of attention in the media due to the recent advancements within the technology. With all of the new found uses of AI there has been a lot of opinions and concerns regarding what AI means for the future. News articles and social media posts have been publishing articles that have been influencing public opinion of AI. With this study, I hope to determine the actual perception of AI by the public. The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a correlation between a person's awareness/knowledge of AI and their level of fear around AI. I hope to answer the following questions: How does AI awareness contribute to an individual's level of fear of AI? How does AI awareness and fear influence career choices and decisions? How does AI awareness and fear affect peoples' views around job stability? My goal is to

To determine the effect of dual targeted therapy with an anti-integrin (vedolizumab [VDZ]) and a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor (tofacitinib [TOF]) on clinical remission.

The purpose is to understand people's individual experience at work as well as the way people experience interactions with others at work.

We are investigating whether appropriate lung screening guidelines are being followed.

Foster children are a vulnerable population in the US. One study found that youth who have a history of foster care had higher levels of oral health issues and less access to dental care compared with children who do not have a history of foster care. The purpose of this study is to learn the knowledge, attitudes, and experiences of foster caregivers in North Carolina and how dental care and oral health behaviors of their foster children are affected as a result of these factors. With this information, oral health interventions for the foster care community can be created.

This project seeks to broaden and improve the efficacy of library staff to support communities in crisis and to build a Field Guide that library staff can use to achieve this goal. The Field Guide's purpose is to prepare public library staff to support historically marginalized youth and families during current and future crises (such as pandemics, hurricanes, water supply, energy, wildfire, etc.) and the consequences of such crises (gaps in fundamental literacy, limited access to information, disparities in learning opportunities, etc.)

This project proposes to conduct a needs assessment of Arabic-speaking patients who visit the UNC Family Medicine Center at Chapel Hill to refine existing peri-visit communication workflows. The needs assessment will be done in collaboration with the Refugee Community Partnership (RCP) and will involve focus groups of their members to better assess clinic peri-visit communication needs. The goal is to deliver Arabic language-expansion interventions to clinic leadership that address these needs and implement at least one concrete communication workflow change.

The World Health Organization recommends one ultrasound before 24 weeks of pregnancy. Recent developments with technology-assisted ultrasound increase ultrasound access to patients in low- and middle-income countries. This study is the evaluation of the implementation of technology-assisted ultrasounds in 7 antenatal clinics in Zambia. The goal is to understanding the acceptability and feasibility of the ultrasounds, and ultimately to publish information helpful to policymakers and clinic directors involved in implementing similar programs in low-resource settings.

Understand pediatric nurses' personal views of workplace violence as well as their views of their experiences with caring for aggressive adolescent patients. This research is being conducted because of the lack of knowledge on this topic.
