The utility of syndromic management for STIs is predicated on up-to-date information on the etiologies of the syndromes being treated. Periodic assessments of N. gonorrhoeae among women presenting to care with LAP and AVD+ are important for treatment guidelines. Additionally, assessing pharyngeal N. gonorrhoeae among women with genital infections, which has never been done in this population, is critical to ensure adequate treatment and prevent AMR.

To assess the influence of HIV-related and CVD-related variables in the existing WIHS study, including viral load, immune dysfunction, inflammation, metabolic disorders, HIV medications, gut microbiota, and metabolomics, on CVD risk as measured by cIMT.
Our project aims to document how COVID-19 is changing schools and families, and to trace the ways these changes are shaping educational inequality. In collaboration with North Carolina's Guilford County Schools, we are surveying school leaders, teachers, and parents and guardians about the academic, material, and socio-emotional resources that school communities are collectively employing in response to the pandemic. Our analyses will document school school/family collaboration during the COVID-19 crisis; investigate racial and socioeconomic inequalities in access to school services and supports; and evaluate the consequences of school supports and school/family collaboration for learning loses during the pandemic-induced interruption in regular schooling. Ultimately, we hope this project will shed light on strategies that can mitigate the pandemic's potentially disastrous consequences for educational inequality.
The purpose of the TEACH Study is to collect data on whether mood symptoms and estrogen levels change during the first month after hysterectomy for uterine fibroids and/or abnormal uterine bleeding. These results may help us understand whether mood symptoms and hormone levels change during this time, which will help us better support women who undergo this surgery in the future. During this study, we will collect mood questionnaires and hormone levels (sometimes in blood and sometimes in saliva) weekly through the first month after surgery.
Purpose: The purpose of this research project is to gather information on migration experiences as well as language preservation and language acquisition upon migration settlement. This information will be used to understand the lived experiences and obstacles of Indigenous Latin American migrants; a community that is often overlooked by Hispanic immigrants.
PharmAlliance is a global partnership between the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy, Monash University Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, and UCL School of Pharmacy. Numerous achievements such as publications, grants, student exchanges, and teaching innovations have resulted from this international alliance. Existing research, however, does not look into specific characteristics of successful international collaborations. In this observational study, collaborators in PharmAlliance will be surveyed and interviewed in order to determine characteristics of successful international teams in pharmacy and more broadly.
The results of this study will inform pre-surgical, in-hospital, and post-discharge interventions aimed at optimizing outcomes and driving quality improvement processes at Kamuzu Central Hospital. This study seeks to identify the incidence of common post-surgical complications and patient reported HRQOL outcomes after surgical intervention in orthopedic trauma at KCH. This information will be useful to the surgical team at KCH, other Malawian surgical departments, and patients and surgeons in other counties in sub-Saharan Africa. Furthermore, this study will help inform care and resource allocation in Malawi.
