The aim of this study for low and standard risk germ cell tumor (GCT) patients is to minimize toxicity by reducing therapy while maintaining current survival rates. The trial will eliminate chemotherapy for low risk patients who are likely cured with surgery and will observe the salvage rates among those who recur.

This study involves the distribution of a survey to select the ten most important research topics in HPV vaccine uptake for children of ages 11-12.

No guidelines or interventions for patients and their family caregivers exist to support patient adherence to a new medication (venetoclax) and their quality of life. Our research team seeks to understand the real experience and care needs of patients and their family caregivers with the new AML treatment. With the information we learn from this study, we will be able to develop an effective support program for patients with AML and their family caregivers to manage their symptoms at home and improve their quality of life.

Deployment of military personnel has been associated with increased respiratory illness likely due, in part, to inhalation of unusual particulate matter (PM), such as from burn pits. Inflammation is a key initial response to inhaled particulates. Our center has developed a protocol using inhaled wood smoke particles (WSP) as a way to study PM-induced airway inflammation. Exposure to wood smoke particles causes symptoms, even in healthy people, such as eye irritation, cough, shortness of breath, and increased mucous production. The purpose of this research study is to see if a single treatment of inhaled hypertonic saline (HS) can diminish this PM-induced airway inflammation by rapidly clearing the WSP inhaled particles from airway surfaces. The exposure will be 500 ug/m3 of WSP for 2 hours, with intermittent exercise on a bicycle and rest. The wood is burned in a typical wood stove and piped into the chamber.

This study seeks to understand how offering and receiving prenatal screening and diagnosis has changed with abortion legislation changing since July 2022.

This study is testing a new medication for patients who have group 1 PAH.

To determine the impact of different levels of stroboscopic vision on instrumented and clinician-oriented measures of postural control.

The purpose of this study is to understand how people participate in a professional community of practice about water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) in healthcare facilities. We are conducting an online survey to understand how members of this community of practice prefer to participate (e.g., what types of activities) and what barriers they experience to participation.

The transition from functioning as an intern in the first year of residency to leading inpatient teams in the second year of residency and beyond is a challenging one for internal medicine trainees. We seek to understand how best to help our trainees navigate this transition by conducting a needs assessment of current internal medicine residents in small focus groups. Through these meetings we will collect and aggregate the experiences of residents who have made this transition, and use their feedback, challenges, and suggested areas for growth to build a curriculum designed to empower trainees to make this transition with confidence. We aim to publish our findings to assist other training programs in addressing this same issue, however our primary goal is to use our findings internally to improve our resident experience as well as patient care.

This study will look at how different characteristics of people (age, income, etc.) impacts their willingness to pay higher prices for responsibly produced goods. This information will help businesses understand the effects of the increased prices associated with sustainability and responsible production, and recognize if their potential consumer base is affected.
