The purpose of this study is to learn more about brain AVMs (BAVMs) and bleeding in HHT. We plan to study risk factors for rupture of BAVMs and also for other bleeding and features of HHT disease, including primarily genetics and imaging characteristics of the BAVMs. We hope that knowledge about risk factors will help improve the care and management of HHT patients.

The purpose of this research study is to poll people with osteoarthritis (OA) and healthcare providers who care for individuals with OA to determine what gaps may exist between patients' nutritional and weight management interests and the nutritional counseling/resources that are shared by providers. Patient resources around the topic of nutrition and OA management will then be developed to address these gaps.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate participation in an 8-week community-based, online program for adults that will help them make small changes to their diet, physical activity, and other behaviors to help promote their health or manage their weight. We are interested in who will participate, how much participants will use the program, how many participants are interested in preventing weight gain or losing weight, and how the program will affect eating, physical activity, and stress. This program is based on previous research on approaches the researchers have studied to help people make small changes to their behavior and is being offered in response to an identified need to offer health promotion resources during the COVID-19 pandemic
People who suffer ACL injuries are at an increased risk for knee osteoarthritis, which can lead to chronic pain and disability. In this study, we want to learn if adding vibration to rehabilitation following ACL reconstruction surgery can improve how your joints move while walking. We also want to learn if this vibration can improve how your muscles work and your quality of life compared to rehabilitation alone. *This study is a collaboration with the UNC Sports Medicine Institute*
The purpose of EDGI is to learn more about how genes influence risk for bulimia nervosa, binge-eating disorder, and anorexia nervosa. If you have ever had one of these three eating disorders, we invite you to participate. Your involvement will help advance understanding of the genetics of eating disorders.
The CureGN Network acts as a "library" of data for investigators across the world to use to help us ask the following questions: 1) What is the disease?; 2) Why did it happen to me?; 3) Can it be passed down to my family members?; 4) What treatments work the best with the least side effects?
The purpose of the study is to collect blood from asymptomatic individuals to screen for antibodies for SARS-CoV2 , which is the virus that causes the COVID-19 illness. We would like to see how many people may have been exposed to the virus but who do not have symptoms of the illness. If there are enough tests available, we may ask you to allow us to also do a nasal or oral swab to test for COVID-19. This study is being done at the following clinics: UNC Family Medicine Center (Chapel Hill), UNC Family Medicine (Wakefield), UNC Women's Health at Eden, UNC Family Medicine Southpoint, UNC Internal Medicine Goldsboro, UNC Family Medicine Airport Road (Kinston), North Chatham Pediatrics and Internal Medicine, UNC Specialty Care Sanford, UNC Family Medicine- Mebane, and UNC Family Medicine- Clayton.
