This study examines factors that influence the efficacy of a randomized-controlled trial of an HIV intervention on Latino adolescents.

Obesity Leads to Lymphatic Wall Remodeling and Systemic and Tissue-Associated Inflammation in Zucker Rats

There are no reports of long term outcomes of Hepatitis C (HCV) liver transplant (LTx) recipients in the direct-acting antiviral (DAA) era. We aimed to examine impact of DAA’s on survival, examine the populations at risk, cure rates, and long term outcomes.

Long term results of HCC liver transplants (LTx) in the recent era of direct-acting antivirals (DAA) against hepatitis C (HCV) are not available. We aimed to examine the access, treatments and cure rates with DAA’s utilized in HCC LTx with HCV. Secondarily, we aimed to determine the long term impact of the Liver Cancer Program and DAA therapies on survival of HCC LTx.

This project introduces video-conferencing as a method for biomarker collection in research and will explain how biomarker collection via video-conferencing was implemented in a pilot ehealth intervention.

Our project was to identify a geographic area demonstrating need for asthma interventions. By identifying different factors such as air quality, prevalence, asthma related hospitalizations and emergency department visits, we created a tool to identify and prioritize areas that could benefit from interventions like patient education and certification as an Asthma-Friendly School.

Evaluation of Florida systems of care and outbreak management for Zika, Zika-positive pregancies, and Zika-related birth outcomes

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) often present in adolescence and affect >1.4 million persons in the US. Environmental exposures, notably air pollution and weather, have been suggested to contribute to IBD disease activity. Our goal was to evaluate relationships between environmental exposures and the prevalence and disease activity of pediatric IBD using novel data sources that take into account geographic location.
