Filter by:Women at risk for development of breast cancer and experiencing vasomotor menopausal symptoms (hot flashes) will be randomized to bazedoxifene (BZA) plus conjugated estrogens (CE) for 6 months versus a wait list control. Two risk factors for development of breast cancer will be studied pre-study and after 6 months: fibroglandular volume (FGV) on mammogram as assessed by Volpara software and proliferation by Ki-67 immunocytochemistry in benign breast tissue acquired by random periareolar fine needle aspiration (RPFNA). Change in biomarkers will be compared between groups.
This novel study supports the positive benefits of Home Based Older Persons Upstreaming Physical Therapy (HOP-UP-PT) to older adults identified as "at-risk" by their local senior center after participating in a prevention-focused multimodal program provided by physical therapists in their home.
The objective of the Gestational Diabetes Genetic Socioeconomic Risk Study is to generate genome wide association study data (GWAS) to calculate polygenic risk scores (PRS) for the development of gestational diabetes in pregnant women. Oshun Medical's GWAS study will be conducted by collecting DNA samples alongside medical and socioeconomic data and applying data science methodology to generate a polygenic risk score algorithm for gestational diabetes. Our hypothesis is that key genetic variants linked to gestational diabetes will be identified, and sociodemographic characteristics may impact epigenetic factors which further contribute to this risk of gestational diabetes. The PRS generated through our study will be combined with an analysis of epigenetic factors to produce a new method for predicting risk of developing gestational diabetes during pregnancy.
The primary aim of this study is to examine whether lower-risk activities displace participation in higher-risk behaviors during COVID-19. Investigators will test this aim by promoting specific activities that are expected to be low-risk when it comes to COVID-19 transmission (e.g., participating in a hiking challenge) and assessing impacts on participants' activity choices. Investigators also aim to describe adults' activity participation during COVID-19 generally and to examine secondary outcomes, including reported stress and sleep.
This study was planned to investigate the relationship between the risk of injury and posture in wrestlers. The study will be included male wrestlers. The spine posture and flexibility of the athletes will be measured during standing position with the Idiag M360® brand Spinal Mouse (SM), while the overall body posture will be measured from the anterior and lateral sides using the New York Posture Analysis Method (NYPAM). Injury risks of the athletes will be evaluated by Functional Movement Screen (FMS) which was consisting of seven basic movement patterns.
There are two purposes of this study. The first purpose is to determine the exposure seen by medical providers (e.g. anesthesiologists, surgeons, and nurses) to infectious and smoke particulates generated during anesthesia-related aerosol generating medical procedures (AGMPs) and pediatric otolaryngologic surgeries (with and without an intubated airway). The second goal of this study is to apply a local exhaust ventilation system (LEVS) to re-evaluate the exposure seen by the same medical providers during the same AGMPs and surgeries.
The purpose of this study is to provide medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) with buprenorphine and naloxone, or bup/nx, and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV prevention for persons who inject opioids accessing syringe services programs (SSPs), as part of a comprehensive harm reduction program, and assess the acceptability and feasibility of using telemedicine to implement the program. The initial visit will be conducted in person or remotely via telemedicine given COVID-19 protocols at the SSP sites in Charlotte and Wilmington, North Carolina (NC); follow-up visits will be conducted via telemedicine.
Goal of the Program: To develop personal and group ability for participants in the DPP to plan and implement health promotion programs. Objectives: 1. Develop skills in the planning, implementation, and assessment of community-based health promotion programs 2. Personal, group and community capacity development in health promotion
The purpose of this study is to gain on-going COVID-19 feedback/data to drive timely action locally and nationally in order to mitigate transmission. Data will be deidentified and consolidated to create a large national longitudinal database.
The aim of this study is to optimize implementation of the opportunistic salpingectomy throughout the Netherlands.
