Neonatal mortality remains a significant challenge in Malawi, despite the country's success in reducing overall childhood mortality. We have identified significant gaps in infection control and routine neonatal care in tertiary facilities. As more childbirths are occurring in health facilities, it is crucial to identify areas for improvement and address these in each facility to enhance the quality of neonatal care. This study proposes a team-based approach to identifying areas for improvement with a high potential to significantly impact neonatal survival in surgical neonates. By including a wide range of individuals - from those working in the unit to providers interacting with the team to hospital leadership - we can design robust interventions with the potential for successful implementation and propagation. Our study proposes a reproducible model that other neonatal services or facilities may replicate. An additional benefit of a qualitative research-informed approach is empowering all team members to improve

To understand how people respond to ambiguity in interpersonal situations. We would like to understand how people make decisions to trust others in uncertain situations, especially with respect to interpersonal relationships and dynamics. The focus of this study is on workplace behavior and behavior in institutional contexts.

The purpose of this study is to determine if UNC's "Our Place In Space!" laboratory curriculum, in which students use fully automated (i.e., robotic) telescopes to collect astronomical images and data, increases students' (1) attitudes, (2) self-efficacy, (3) career intentions, and (4) content knowledge, regarding STEM and astronomy.

The purpose of the study is to identify certain processes following brain injury that may be associated with the risk of developing epilepsy.

This study is an access and distribution protocol for unlicensed cryopreserved cord blood units (CBUs) in pediatric and adult patients with hematologic malignancies and other indications. This protocol will allow access to cord blood units that are unlicensed.

Research has shown that effective use of reading strategies contributes to reading comprehension. Thus far, most studies on reading strategy use have been conducted with second language (L2) readers of alphabetic languages such as English. There has been scant research on reading strategy use of Chinese as a second language (CSL) learners. Among the limited studies examining reading strategies employed by CSL learners, the majority were focused on advanced learner's reading strategies, and less attention has been devoted to intermediate-level learners. Furthermore, although a small number of studies investigating intermediate-level CLS learners' reading strategy use had both non-heritage and heritage participants, no comparison between the two groups was made. Given the vast differences of the learning profiles of heritage and non-heritage CSL students, it is possible that the reading strategies adopted by the two groups and the learning outcomes could be quite different. This study addresses this gap in literature.

This clinical registry is an observational study to collect prospective and retrospective data on subject health, wounds and wound care procedures from medical centers, including skilled nursing facilities, hospitals, outpatient clinics, Home Health and any other medical environment where wounds are treated.

To identify the skills needed to effectively manage a medical laboratory in today's healthcare system and to assess the gap in management training in new laboratory leaders.

We want to test whether clustering impacts a user's preference on a list of mini graphs (subgraphs) and if so, we will continue to research and conduct future studies on their impact.

Systematic reviews (SRs) of healthcare interventions should identify patient safety concerns; however, many SRs are designed to assess benefits, and preliminary evidence suggests that conclusions about harms in SRs might not be trustworthy. Using >19,000 SRs of drugs for which we have full texts (including >4,000 overlapping reviews), and using innovative methods for analysis (e.g., natural language processing), we will examine whether information about safety in SRs is consistent, whether SRs address safety concerns identified using real-world evidence, and whether SRs are consistent with safety information on drug labels. Based on best evidence, including findings from this study, we will develop contemporary guidance for synthesizing and reporting safety information in SRs.
