Dyspnea and Cardiotoxicity in Multiple Myeloma Patients Who Receive Carfilzomib
This study will explore why some multiple myeloma patients who receive carfilzomib (an anti-cancer medication) experience shortness of breath while others do not. The purpose of this research is to gather information on the effectiveness of the EndoPAT device, which is FDA-approved to assess the health of a patient's blood …
Defining the Genetic Etiology of Suppurative Lung Disease in Children and Adults
The investigators will utilize a systematic approach for the diagnostic evaluation of patients to identify characteristics which may distinguish between Primary Immunodeficiency (PID) disorders versus Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD).
Analysis of the Molecular Composition of Tubal Cilia in Patients With or Without Ectopic Pregnancy
Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia associated with abnormalities of lateralization of organs (with existence of a situs inversus in 50% of cases) and secondary fertility disorders related in humans to abnormalities of mobility of sperm but very little data on the structure and function of tubal cilia in women
Characterizing the Upper Airway Manifestations in Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia and Primary Immunodeficiencies
Though common, morbidities related to upper airway disease in primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) and primary immunodeficiencies (PID) have not been fully characterized. These conditions can be difficult to distinguish due to their overlapping phenotypes. The sinonasal and middle ear features are often identified as most problematic by patients and their …
High Flow Nasal Cannulae vs Venturi Mask in Respiratory Failure Due to Pneumonia
The primary objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of treatment with HFNC (group compared to administration of oxygen therapy by Venturi mask (group B, standard therapy) in terms of reaching of endotracheal intubation criteria during acute respiratory failure due to severe pneumonia. Inclusion Criteria: Respiratory rate (RR) …
Does Batten Grafting Improve Nasal Outcomes in Septoplasty and Turbinate Reduction?
The objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness of batten grafts plus septoplasty and turbinate reduction (intervention arm) compared to septoplasty and turbinate reduction alone (control arm), both in terms of subjective and objective assessments.
Eating Experience at the Comprehensive Cancer Center Wards - a Qualitative Study
In hospitalized patients with cancer treated with systemic therapy, semi-structured in-depth interviews will be performed. Topics that will be discussed are eating-related complaints, the taste and smell of the offered hospital food, the choice in hospital food, the ambience during the eating moments, the use of protein-enriched snacks, the difference …
Personalized Smoking Cessation Infographic in COPD
This study assesses the effect of a personalized smoking cessation infographic on physician smoking cessation counseling rates and smoking cessation pharmacotherapy prescription rates. The study assesses the difference in physician behaviour using an interrupted time series analysis (one-year pre vs. one-year post-intervention). General practitioners, nurse practitioners and respirologists who refer …
Longitudinal Study of Genetic Causes of Intrahepatic Cholestasis (LOGIC)
Cholestasis is a condition in which bile is not properly transported from the liver to the small intestine. Cholestasis can be caused by an array of childhood diseases, including the genetic diseases Alagille syndrome (ALGS), alpha-1 antitrypsin (a-1AT) deficiency, bile acid synthesis and metabolism defects, and progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis …
Volume Mode Non-invasive Ventilation in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of using intelligent volume assured pressure support (iVAPS-AE) versus spontaneous timed (ST) modes of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in patients diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The investigators believe that the use of iVAPS-AE mode NIV over a 90 day period …
