In this study, we want to find out what makes people decide to buy things in a convenience store.
Our research team has created a Bluetooth enabled resistance exercise band (BandPass) and a corresponding workout 'app' to help older adults' strength train at home. The purpose of this project is to test the likelihood that BandPass can be used by older adults, to test whether older adults will keep using the device to exercise during the study, and to test if older adults have improved strength at the end of the study.
Our research team has created a Bluetooth enabled resistance exercise band (BandPass) and a corresponding workout 'app' to help older adults' strength train at home. The purpose of this research project is to help develop an algorithm that can distinguish between an exercise performed correctly and incorrectly. This will allow older adults to improve their form and optimize the therapeutic benefit of exercising.
In this study, we want to learn about the effects of different kinds of force on the knee when walking on a treadmill. We will do this by looking at MRI images of knee cartilage in people with a history of ACL reconstruction. *This study is a collaboration with the UNC Sports Medicine Institute*
The purpose of this research is to test the safety of NXC-201 (a CAR-T cell targeting the BCMA protein) at different doses in participants with relapsed/refractory AL amyloidosis, and to confirm the best dose for further testing. In addition, the study will evaluate the effectiveness of NXC-201 in treating relapsed/refractory AL amyloidosis
The purpose of this research study is to learn about how difficult emotions, such as anxiety and fear, relate to feelings in the body. During these visits, you will be asked to participate in a series of breathing tasks. In particular, we will ask you to practice two types of breathing tasks: (1) breathing through a straw, and (2) hyperventilating for a minute at a time. The breathing tasks you will perform are safe and may cause you temporary discomfort or distress. You will also be asked to answer questions about your thinking patterns, beliefs, and mental health. We know that people differ in how they respond to certain bodily sensations, and our goal is to better understand this process.
The goal of this interview is to gather a clinician's perspective on the feasibility and potential integration of a new Geriatric Functional Assessment System (GFAS) into their clinical practice. This proposed system is a clinic-based wearable device designed to collect visual and motion data from older adults during their primary care visits that will help assess physical function. Its goal is to collect and process data, apply machine learning, and enable clinicians to identify early signs of functional decline.
In this study, we want to learn how personality traits and body chemicals affect the way people make decisions. We want to understand the different factors that influence this.
To see if taking a pill called Brepocitinib can help patients with cutaneous sarcoidosis
