There are 3 primary aims of this study: 1) Observe the status of individuals, of all age, sports, activities, on key patient reported outcomes and measures of neuromuscular control when the reach different return to activity milestones following an ankle sprain as determined by themselves, parents, and/or medical provider. 2) To develop a normative database of scores for the key patient reported outcomes and measures of neuromuscular control for individuals of all ages, sports, and activities to help individuals determine if / how well they have recovered from their ankle sprain. 3) Determine if the key patient reported outcomes and measures of neuromuscular control can predict risk of reinjury when individuals, of all ages, sports, activities, return to sport following an ankle sprain.
The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility and acceptability of a Food is Medicine intervention when started during the first trimester of pregnancy. The eating pattern we are testing in this study is a Mediterranean-style dietary pattern adapted for the southern United States - thus, we call the program "Med-South." All who take part will receive Med-South dietary counseling. In addition, to help participants follow a Med-style dietary pattern, one group of study participants will receive extra virgin olive oil and nuts. The other group will receive extra virgin olive oil, nuts, and frozen meals (medically tailored meals) that align with the Med-South dietary pattern. Participants will be assigned at random (like flipping a coin) to one of these groups.
This research examines how alternative food networks (AFNs) in Turkey enact autonomy by connecting various stakeholders, including small-scale producers, cooperatives, and consumers across the country, under a solidarity-based organization. Successful data collection will enable the researcher to obtain a deep understanding of the AFNs - specifically how they challenge the gendered production relations, maintain fair production and distribution chains, and finally, keep solidarity as the core principle of the network.
Domestic violence intervention programs (DVIPs), also known as batterer intervention programs (BIPs), are court-mandated and self-referred programs designed to address domestic violence perpetration through psycho-educational approaches and/or cognitive behavioral therapy. By building on the extant evidence base and conducting formative research, we will identify DVIPs that have demonstrated effectiveness and innovative practices, including the utilization of restorative justice frameworks, and assess their curricula, service delivery approaches, partnerships, and administrative structures. We will use this information as the basis to determine DVIP best practices, with the goal of improved outcomes in mitigating domestic violence.
• To provide investigators in the Division of Gastroenterology with the sources of clinical information for basic research and clinical studies of inflammatory bowel diseases. • To provide optimal and standardized collection of stool for such studies.
Some patients are not able to urinate on their own right after surgery for pelvic organ prolapse so they have to go home with a catheter in their bladders. We want to know if it is safe and effective for them to remove their catheters the day after surgery instead of three days after surgery. If this is effective, they might have lower risk of bladder infection and higher satisfaction after surgery.
The purpose of this research study is to better understand the characteristics and workforce of school-based behavioral health (SBBH) programs across the U.S. in order to identify the resources needed to expand these services.
Belatacept is a drug that helps kidney transplant recipients by preventing the body from rejecting the new organ. We want to compare how well belatacept works compared to the commonly used drug tacrolimus. To do this, we plan to study people who got kidney transplants in the United States from 2011 to 2020. By using two large databases, the United States Renal Data System, and the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients, we aim to understand how belatacept is used in real life. We are also interested in comparing how effective and safe is belatacept compared with tacrolimus after one year of administration. We will look at outcomes like how long the transplanted kidney will work, how long will the kidney transplant recipients live, how well your kidneys will work, the risk of organ rejection, and certain side effects to happen after transplant like blood cancer.
Theory is needed to understand determinants of implementation at the organizational level. Developing a framework of implementation determinants based on organizational theory will leverage decades of untapped scholarship to optimize efforts to improve clinical practice.
The purpose of this study is to tell if a disinfectant wipe with a blue dye additive increases the thoroughness of cleaning and disinfection and reduces contamination.
