Join the NYU Langone Health CTSI Integrating Special Populations Unit for part two of the Health Literacy in Research Training Series. This virtual training will discuss health literacy and the ways it can be used to engage communities in research practice. The NYU CTSI will be joined by Silas Buchanan, CEO of the Institute for eHealth Equity, and Catina O'Leary, Ph.D., LMSW, CEO of Health
Chronic pain contributes significantly to the current opioid epidemic. Up to 20% of postoperative patients develop chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP). CPSP is highly associated with chronic opioid use and dependence, and yet routine multi-modal analgesia as a combination of acetaminophen, NSAIDs, and anti-neuropathic agents is only moderately effective in preventing CPSP. The incidence for CPSP is
NYU Center for the Study of Asian American Health (CSAAH) would like to share an NBC News article highlighting COVID-19 disparities among Asian subgroups: South Asian, Chinese New Yorkers among the hardest hit by Covid, study shows This article specifically highlights an important analysis of New York City Health and Hospitals (H+H) data on Asian Americans disparities in COVID, and was led by
Focal and Segmental Glomerulosclerosis, Minimal Change Disease, and Membranous Nephropathy, presenting as Nephrotic Syndrome (NS), are a group of rare renal diseases that may cause serious complications and end-stage kidney disease, generating significant individual, societal and economic burdens. The Nephrotic Syndrome Study Network (NEPTUNE) brings together physician scientists at 26 sites in
The NYU-H+H Clinical and Translational Science Institute, in collaboration with NYU Langone’s Department of Population Health, Office of Diversity Affairs, and the NYU-CUNY Prevention Research Center, sponsors the annual Health Disparities Symposium. This year, NYU Langone will be hosting the 6th annual event virtually over the course of the week of October 13th. We will also be offering
The COVID-19 pandemic has spurred interest in research on the pathogen in the context of social determinants, clinical practices, treatment options, and outcomes. This has created an urgent need to make data about the care of patients affected by COVID available to researchers. Electronic health records offer a rich source of information for clinical research studies, hypothesis generation, cohort
Deborah Chavis-Keeling, MS, is the Executive Director of Administration and Finance at the NYU–H+H Clinical and Translational Science Institute. Deb has been a part of the CTSI since its founding in June 2009, and before that at the GCRC since 2006. She is exceptionally positioned to describe how the CTSI was uniquely equipped to tackle the challenges faced through the COVID-19 pandemic. Why and
This course was created on short notice at the start of the heavy COVID patient influx at NYU Langone Health in March 2020. With only a weekend to prepare course materials, the didactic lectures began on March 31, 2020 with the first mentor session taking place on April 1st, under the leadership of Stuart Katz, MD, Helen L. and Martin S. Kimmel Professor of Advanced Cardiac Therapeutics and
In 2017, the NYU Clinical and Translational Science Institute's Recruitment and Retention Unit created a Patient Advisory Council for Research (PACR) to provide feedback on clinical trials and health research studies.
The Principal INvestigator Development and Resources (PINDAR) program was developed at the NYU-H+H Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) hub in response to a perceived need for focused good clinical practice (GCP) training designed specifically for principal investigators (PIs) performing human subject research.
COVID-19 cases in the New York City tri-state area have reached extraordinarily high number and have quickly become an epicenter region of the crisis in the United States. In New York State alone, there are over 400,000 confirmed cases as of July 1, 2020. NYU Langone Health (NYULH) has been particularly hard hit, treating over 31,000 COVID-19 patients since March 14, 2020. The complexity of the
Summary: Stakeholder engagement can play an important role in increasing public trust and the understanding of scientific research and its impact. Frameworks for stakeholder identification exist, but these frameworks may not apply well to basic science and early stage translational research. Methods: Four Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) hubs led six focus groups and two semi
Given how recent and unknown the Coronavirus disease is, and its inherent epidemic nature, there are a limited number of cases at individual medical institutions. The limitation of the number of cases per institution becomes even more relevant when isolating subpopulations with specific health conditions and across the lifespan. COMBATCOVID will bring together electronic health records (EHR) data
The New York and Connecticut Consortium encourages joint ventures among the New York and Connecticut area CTSA institutions (NYCON) to develop collaboration between CTSA programs in the areas of medical scientist training; the creation of regional databases of facilities; regional training opportunities for investigators and research coordinators; the exploration of barriers to improved social
