We are using you or your child's medical information in this study to better understand the diagnosis, treatment, and complications of Spina Bifida.

We created the Registry for Brain Health to help you improve your brain health and get involved in research studies. The number of people in North Carolina affected by memory disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia, is going up. To change that, we must work together, stay informed, and get involved. We are enrolling both people who have memory problems and people who are healthy and do not have memory problems.

We are doing this study to collect information about the speeds of eye and head movements in healthy children and young adults. This information will help us establish normal values related to these movement speeds and patterns. If we have a measure of what is normal, this will help us determine the severity of symptoms or injury for people who are treated for concussions.

We are doing this study to compare activity in the brains of female adults who have chronic pain and/or use opioids to the brain activity of healthy female adults who are pain-free. We hope this study can help us develop new and targeted treatments for adults with chronic pain and alternatives to opioid therapy.

We are doing this study to evaluate an experimental vaccine that is being developed to protect against C. diff infections. We want to find out if the study vaccine is effective for people who are at an increased risk for C. diff. We will look at how well the study vaccine can prevent infections and/or lower the severity of infections.

We are doing this study to find out if taking the study drug (Atorvastatin) can help older adults live longer and healthier by preventing dementia, disability, or heart disease. *The study drug is a statin, which is usually used to help lower cholesterol levels.

In this study, people will first have a screening visit to make sure they can join and to check their pain and smoking habits. Next, they will have a training session to learn about the fake MRI scanner and how pain testing works. After that, they will have two brain scan sessions. For one scan, they will not smoke for 24 hours. For the other scan, they will smoke like normal. During each scan, they will feel heat pain and rate how it feels. Before and after each scan, they will answer questions about cravings, withdrawal, mood, and pain. There will be at least 2 days between the two scan sessions.

We created this registry to have a database of healthy people who are interested in participating in research about lung health and breathing. We will use this registry to reach out to people and notify them about research studies in which they might be interested.
