Researchers at the South Carolina Clinical & Translational Research (SCTR) Institute have developed a novel bioinformatic tool called RINS, the Research Integrated Network of Systems, that can be used to evaluate whether improvements to the clinical trial process are making a difference. Their results, published online on March 17 in the Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association
KL2 awardees from Clinical and Translational Science Centers (CTSA) present virtual lectures as part of the CTSA Visiting Scholar Program. Aaron Seaman, PhD from the University of Iowa, hosted by the Medical University of South Carolina will present his research on "Identifying the Care Delivery Needs and Outcomes for Rural Head and Neck Cancer Survivorship." Survivors of head and neck cancer (HNC
The Congenital and Perinatal Infections Consortium is focused on reducing the morbidity and mortality of rare viral infections such as congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease, neonatal herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection, and neonatal viral sepsis caused by enteroviruses (EVs) and the related human parechoviruses (HPeVs). These infections have been grouped together because of their pathogenic
The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 and the subsequent COVID-19 pandemic forced the country to enact extreme measures to limit virus transmission. Academic health institutions implemented measures for the protection of patients and families, staff, and trainees. These included physical distancing, enforced by limiting visitors and non-essential personnel, to support infection control measures as well as
The Strategies to Innovate EmeRgENcy Care Clinical Trials Network (SIREN) is a clinical trials network funded by the National Institute for Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) and the National Center for Advancing Translational Science (NCATS). The goal of the SIREN Network is to improve the outcomes of patients with neurologic, cardiac
The Biomedical Informatics core and SUCCESS Center at the South Carolina Clinical and Translational Research (SCTR) Institute teamed up with the Employee Health office at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) to create an online home monitoring log using REDCap.
Researchers and the participants who enroll in their clinical trials do not always speak the same language, making it difficult to share trial results with study participants. As a result, most clinical trial participants are not told the results of the study in which they were involved, though most would like to know, and most researchers would like to tell them, report National Institutes of
When it comes to cholesterol, we’ve come to accept a simple narrative. Our risk of heart disease is lower when we have more “good cholesterol,” or high-density lipoproteins (HDL), and less “bad cholesterol,” or low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and triglycerides. Complicating this narrative, however, is the higher risk of severe heart disease in African Americans, despite the fact that they tend to
Twice a week, veterans and active-duty service members and their families gather at Folly Beach in Charleston, South Carolina. There, they learn the art of surfing with help from instructors and wellness coaches from the Warrior Surf Foundation. But this surf instruction has a therapeutic twist. It not only enables veterans to gain surf skills but also uses surfing as a vehicle to teach techniques
