We are looking for patients with kidney disease and healthy controls (no kidney disease) to provide blood samples, fill out surveys, and provide health related information to help investigators learn more about how to better diagnose and treat kidney disease. The information you provide will go into a "library" of data for doctors and researchers across the world to use for research projects. If you are a kidney patient, we are able to use your information to find out if you are eligible for treatment studies/other studies in the future.
Researchers are looking for current and former smokers with or without COPD to enroll in a registry to be contacted for future studies.
Do you have probable Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB), Mild Cognitive Impairment with "high likelihood" DLB, or Parkinson's Disease Dementia (PDD)? You may be able to participate in an observational study to track your disease progression and promote future research.
Do you have bladder, kidney, prostate, or another genitourinary cancer diagnosis? If so, you may be able to take part in a research study collecting specimens (e.g., blood, urine, saliva, tissue) during your already scheduled appointments. Collecting these specimens may help researchers develop new ways to detect cancer earlier or to more effectively treat cancer.
The purpose of the registry/repository is to provide a mechanism to store data and images to help facilitate the development of a deep learning framework for automatic, objective, fast, and accurate image quality assessment (IQA) of structural MRI data. IQA is typically performed via visual inspection by MRI technologists and can be time-consuming, subjective, and error prone. Our method will complete IQA in milliseconds with high sensitivity and specificity.
The study team made a survey to assess what medical residents in OBGYN, Family Medicine, and Emergency Medicine programs across North Carolina know about expedited partner therapy. The survey also looks at the challenges and helpful factors related to using this therapy.
I aim to understand how nonpolitical traits and choices convey information about political positions of citizens and candidates and generate consequences for the way in which people interact with them.
The goal of this study is to better understand how executive function skills (like planning, organization, and problem solving) can impact blood sugar levels in people with type 1 diabetes. We also want to understand how insulin pump and continuous glucose monitor use impact blood sugar levels based on executive function skills.
This study explores how religious beliefs influence decisions about organ donation in Black Christian communities. Many Black Americans need organ transplants, but donation rates in these communities are lower than in others. Religious beliefs may play a role in these decisions, but past research has not fully explored how people learn about their religion's views on organ donation or how these beliefs affect their choices. By interviewing Black Christians, this study aims to better understand their thoughts, experiences, and concerns about organ donation. The goal is to help create better ways to share information about organ donation that respect religious beliefs and encourage informed decision-making.
The purpose of this research study is to investigate the level of community engagement in wind energy developments in the European Arctic, with a focus on the involvement of Indigenous communities, such as the Sámi people. The study aims to understand the factors driving community engagement and the extent to which justice considerations are integrated within the energy transition process.
