Dear Colleagues and Students, We are conducting a study to understand how the quality of 2D and 3D ultrasound imaging of different organs (lungs, liver etc) can be improved. You may qualify if you 21 years and older Have no known lung and heart diseases Are not pregnant Participation involves A single laboratory visit Weighing and height measurement Being scanned with non-invasive ultrasound THERE IS NO DIRECT BENEFIT FROM PARTICIPATING IN THIS STUDY, BUT THE DATA WE COLLECT MYA HELP IMPROVE ULTRASOUND IMAGING FOR PATIENTS IN THE FUTURE For information please contact Oleksii Ostras by phone at 919-579-8328 or by email at oleksii@email.unc.edu.

Have you been diagnosed with metastatic triple negative breast cancer and have had progression of your cancer during or following your most recent cancer treatment? If so, you may be eligible for a study looking at the combination of two investigational drugs with doxil for patients with metastatic triple negative breast cancer.
Do you have intermediate risk prostate cancer and don't want to undergo surgery? You may be able to participate in a research study comparing therapy based on genetic testing.
Are you or do you plan to exclusively breastfeed your baby? We are conducting a research study to determine if eating avocados changes the nutrients in your milk and if so, how that affects your baby's recognition memory and overall development. Avocados will be provided!
We want to help people from different cultures who live in America. Sometimes they have a hard time getting the right care because they are different from most Americans. We want to learn their understanding of their grief and the cultural factors that influence their grieving process. We want to talk to them and listen to their stories. This way, we can help them trust the doctors and nurses caring for them. We can also help them find more support online. We think this will make them healthier and happier. We also want to show others that having different feelings and beliefs is okay. We hope that by doing this study, we can help the therapists develop a deeper understanding of the grieving experiences and provide culturally appropriate care to their patients.
The purpose of this study is to learn whether Dupixent (dupilumab) can help with the esophagus's function in adults with eosinophilic esophagitis.
Have you been diagnosed with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma? If so you may be able to take part in a research study looking at the safety and efficacy of giving BMS-986393 to patients with multiple myeloma.
Have you been diagnosed with Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC)? If so, you may be able to take part in a research study investigating if the study drug together with standard of care drug are safe and well tolerated, and whether two drugs are effective in treating prostate cancer, in comparison with standard of care alone.
The purpose of this study is to learn about the effects of a research investigational product, CT-0525, and to see if CT-0525 is safe for participants with advanced cancer. This study is the first time that CT-0525 will be given to humans. CT-0525 is a special kind of product that is made of blood cells taken from your own body. Once collected, these blood cells will be altered and infused back into your body.
The purpose of this study is to compare diet (record of the foods you eat), gut microbiome (stool sample), and cells (blood sample) in adults with IgA Nephropathy (IgAN) and compare with adults with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and adults with no history of medical problems. The information we learn by doing this study may help us understand how we might be able to target the microbiome to better understand the disease process and potentially help us develop new therapies in the future.
