The purpose of this study is to assess the impact the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy (ESOP) Master of Science (MS) in Pharmaceutical Science with a specialization in Health-System Pharmacy Administration (HSPA) has on graduates and their career while also assessing the impact key curriculum requirements (e.g., projects, presentations, research, etc.) have on graduates practice site and the profession. Successful completion of this project will inform further curriculum improvement, inform programmatic design, and produce key data pivotal in the continued recruitment for the program. Most significantly, it will ensure the UNC ESOP continues to produce exceptional MS graduates capable of leading and advancing the profession of pharmacy.
This partially randomized phase II/III trial studies how well cisplatin and combination chemotherapy works in treating children and young adults with hepatoblastoma or liver cancer after surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, doxorubicin, fluorouracil, vincristine sulfate, carboplatin, etoposide, irinotecan, sorafenib, gemcitabine and oxaliplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving combination chemotherapy after surgery may kill more tumor cells.
To assess the dental hygiene curriculum on how they are educating students on treating patients with intellectual and developmental disabilities
The investigators hypothesize that exposure to chronic environmental stress is a risk factor for adverse pregnancy outcomes related to preterm birth and preeclampsia among high-risk pregnant women. Additionally, the investigators hypothesize that women can be screened for high levels of environmental stress through the perceived stress scale, and therapeutic writing can be used as a low-resource intervention to help decrease maternal perceived stress and inflammation - measured through analysis of maternal serum and placental samples.

The Relational Leadership at Carolina is an implementation and dissemination project. This project will: 1) refine and stabilize the Relational Leadership Institute (RLI) course for health professionals for the purpose of broad dissemination and implementation; 2) provide groundwork to support the catalyzing forces of Relational Leadership and build community through multiple approaches; and 3) establish a pathway and structured support for individuals to contribute to the program at all levels.
Hunter Syndrome or Mucopolysaccharidosis II (MPS II) is a rare genetic disorder caused by decreased levels of a specific enzyme, iduronate-2-sulfatase. Lack of this enzyme causes buildup of large sugar molecules called glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). The build up of GAGs causes significant damage to the body and brain. Idursulfase-IT, an enzyme replacement therapy, was developed for the treatment of patients with Hunter Syndrome with cognitive impairment to help with the central nervous system manifestations of the disease. The purpose of this post-trial access program is so that patients with Hunter syndrome who previously received monthly administration of idursulfase-IT through participation in an earlier clinical research study can continue to receive it.
The purpose of this study is to understand the ways in which systemic sclerosis (SSc) develops and identify potential treatments. Because this study focuses on the interaction between macrophages and fibroblasts, both peripheral blood and skin will be necessary for completion of this work. Results from this work will provide the rational basis for the development of novel treatments for SSc patients.
Our UNC-CH School of Social Work (SSW) team is collaborating with the North Carolina Department of Public Safety (NCDPS) to develop human trafficking identification and response protocols for North Carolina correctional settings. To inform the development of such protocols, we are conducting an environmental scan to determine how correctional settings (prisons and jails) across the United States are currently identifying and responding to victims of human trafficking.
