Antibiotics, Bacteria, and UTI Prevention Study

The purpose of this study is to compare the bacteria in women who are taking either methenamine hippurate (Hiprex) or nitrofurantoin (Macrobid, Macrodantin) every day to prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs). We will compare bacteria in the bladder, vagina, and rectum. The information we learn by doing this study may help us better understand how these medications work to prevent UTIs.

Metastatic Breast Cancer Interview Study for Patients and Caregivers

In this study, we want to hear from patients with metastatic breast cancer about how their oncologists speak with them about their prognosis. We know these conversations can be challenging, and we want to hear from patients and caregivers about what is helpful or not helpful in those conversations. We also want to hear from patients about a breast cancer-specific tool.

Sedentary Behavior and Heart Health

We now know there is a link between sedentary behavior (e.g., sitting) and heart disease. However, we do not yet fully understand if sedentary behavior performed in different settings and situations (e.g., sitting alone watching television vs sitting with friends at a bar) differentially impacts heart disease risk. This is what this study aims to find out.

Blood Clotting Risk in Blood Cancer Study

Want to help improve the treatment of people with chronic blood cancers? We are looking for healthy volunteers to take part in a simple blood-draw study. If you are generally healthy and are not taking blood thinners, you may be able to help improve treatment for patients with chronic blood cancers by donating a tablespoon of blood. This study aims to understand why individuals with chronic blood cancers have a high risk of blood clots as compared to healthy individuals, by comparing (1) the ability of blood to clot in a test tube and (2) changes in white blood cells that make them more likely to stick to blood vessels between healthy individuals and individuals with chronic blood cancers.
