The purpose of this Heart Failure Research Registry is to collect relevant patient-level demographic, clinical, laboratory and hemodynamic data from CardioMEMS patients to advance scientific knowledge about pulmonary hemodynamics and heart failure therapies.

The purpose of this research study is to collect data about attitudes towards social topics in the news.

The study is designed to look at Crohn's disease over a period time, from before a surgery to 12 months after the surgery has taken place. The role bacteria in the gut plays in Crohn's disease (CD) is not well understood. Which particular microbes contribute to disease remain unknown. In CD, ~70% of patients will end up requiring surgery due to chronic unrelenting complications, and ~50% require additional surgery. We hope to identify key microbes at the time of surgery in stool and tissue and correlate it over time with data collected at timepoints after surgery. We will use this data with clinical information to determine if specific microbes are associated with disease recurrence.

Engagement with UNC patients and clinicians will be used to gather feedback on the relevance of data sources, perspectives on the model outputs for lupus diagnosis and other outcomes, and to understand the utility of model outputs against clinical standards. Engagement of key community collaborators to solicit their perspectives and advice will be used to inform model development.

To determine the effectiveness of an artificial intelligence software as an aid for radiographic lesion detection

This study aims to identify the prevalence of anatomical size and mobility differences in the sternoclavicular joint within a non-pathologic cohort. Additionally, we aim to describe the rate at which asymmetric anatomical differences present with functional interference and/or pain.

To collect research samples from CF patients already having a clinically indicated colonoscopy. We're collecting a few additional samples on top of what is collected for clinical purposes to give to researchers for future projects. This will increase your time of procedure around 5 minutes.

The United States is facing a worsening physician shortage that particularly affects people living in rural or underserved communities. One strategy used to address this problem is clinical exposure programs for students in high school, college, and/or medical school. Research currently suggests that these programs could influence participants' interest in medicine, specialty choice, and practice location preferences. Mentoring in Medicine is a summer clinical exposure program that targets college students in the Johnstown area of Pennsylvania. This region of the state is socioeconomically disadvantaged and medically underserved. No formal follow-up has been conducted on the participants since the program began in 2004. We plan on surveying these past participants to examine their academic and career interests and outcomes. We will also use physician databases to determine career outcomes. This data will help contribute to the body of evidence regarding educational interventions to improve medical shortages in the United States.

I am looking to see if meaningful social interactions play an important role in the lives of gig workers. I am specifically looking to see if interactions between worker and customer have profound affect on the well-being of gig workers.

The purpose of this study will be to explore the recordkeeping practices of college students who have experienced the death of a loved one. The recordkeeping practices will be generally defined as actions taken to collect and maintain objects, photographs, and other memorabilia, both physical and digital, in remembrance of the deceased. This non-generalizable study serves to create avenues of awareness within the library science community regarding bereaved college students, identifying potential methods of support that can be provided from the field and areas of collaboration with other specialties.
