Infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) poses a growing threat to the health of women in childbearing years and occurs disproportionately among lower socioeconomic populations and minority women. Early identification of HIV infection and advances in antiretroviral therapies have begun
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Determine feasibility of using a free online commercial weight loss program (SparkPeople) in African-American (AA) breast cancer survivors, as measured by: 1) Accrual: percent (%) patients recruited and completing baseline assessments; 2) Study retention: % patients completing
Introduction
Vitamin D deficiency remains a global public health issue (Wilson 2017). There is strong epidemiological evidence linking low vitamin D status with diabetes, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis and some cancers (NatCen 2018). The condition has a significant financial
OBJECTIVES:
- Compare disease-specific, generic, and global quality of life measures in African-American survivors of breast cancer with Caucasian survivors of breast cancer.
- Compare these quality of life measures in African-American survivors of breast cancer with control group of
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- To develop more effective ways to help both African American prostate cancer survivors and their intimate partners cope with the problems and challenges experienced after radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer.
- To evaluate the efficacy of a new, telephone-based,
* Purpose of project (one or two sentences): The objective of this study is to examine the efficacy of a structured, moderate-intensity aerobic exercise program in reducing cancer-related fatigue in African Americans undergoing RT for localized breast cancer.
2. * Study design (for example,
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is the etiological agent for heterophile positive infectious mononucleosis (IM). It is also an oncogenic herpes virus associated with African Burkitt's lymphoma (BL),nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and AIDS-associated B-cell lymphomas. EBV is also among a group of viruses
Research Question:
Fatigue is a common, persistent symptom following treatment for breast cancer, challenging a women's ability to promptly regain her overall health and well-being. The aim of the study is to design, evaluate and implement an integrated mind-body medicine intervention to reduce
Preterm birth (PTB) is the leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality and has tremendous health and economic costs for the infant, family, and society. There has been little success in reducing PTB; rates are at an all time high. Of particular concern is the major racial disparity in PTB
Minority women are grossly underserved and suffer poorer quality of life during and after treatment for breast cancer. Despite this greater need, interventions designed to foster adaptation to disease among such women are scarce. Our recent randomized trial tested the efficacy of a 10-week

If you choose to take part in this study, you will be asked to complete 3 study visits over a period of about 20 weeks (the first visit, followed by 2 more visits, usually 3-8 weeks apart). During the first and third visits, you will be asked to take part in an interview that will include
Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) reduces physical function and muscle mass and increases fatigue. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), when used as a stand-alone intervention, improves muscle strength and muscle mass in non-cancer patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Neoadjuvant (preoperative) chemotherapy is an interesting research tool which allows investigators to test new drugs and/or new schedules with a validated surrogate endpoint, pCR. It also represents an ideal model to evaluate the relationships between treatments and tumor biomarkers. Recent
