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.
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 lymphoma that has come back, or did not get better with the last treatment you were given? If so, you might able to participate in a study to see if the study team can make modified T cells that are able to fight and kill the lymphoma cells.
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.
This study will explore the effects of a low inflammatory diet on the cognitive abilities and on the microbiome and metabolome in senior adults (ages 60 to 90).
The study is testing a new medication for PH-COPD. The hope is this drug improves patient's overall health outcomes.
The study aims to examine why EXSS students choose certain note-taking methods and those choices' relationships with resulting hand fatigue. We are interested in studying this as we want to provide feedback to the EXSS department to ensure that teaching styles help and not hinder student success.
The primary purpose of this proposed exploratory study is to investigate the factors that influence the retention decisions of Black teachers in a large urban public school district in a post-COVID pandemic setting.
I am using a survey to assess the value of an in-class simulation exercise where students will explore different ways to nominate candidates. I am holding the simulation in a political science class on political parties and elections at UNC.
The primary goal of IMPORT is to improve our understanding of post-overdose response team characteristics, processes, and which specific practices are perceived to be most effective in reducing overdose death and improving the lives of individuals with opioid use disorder at high risk for overdose.
