129Xe MRI Cardiopulmonary
The goal of this NIH-sponsored study is to characterize three biomarkers derived from 129Xe gas exchange MRI and to understand how they change in response to interventions.
Implementation and Effectiveness of the BJC-Pink and Pearl Project on Lung Cancer Screening
The investigators proposal is ripe for executing as the investigators seek to leverage this "natural experiment" initiated by the BJC health system to evaluate the effectiveness of the Pink \& Pearl Campaign as an implementation strategy to promote lung cancer screening (LCS) uptake among LCS-eligible women undergoing mammography at BJC …
The Natural History and Biological Study of Pulmonary Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis (pRRP)
Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is an orphan disease that affects approximately 20,000 people in the United States and is caused by infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) types 6 and 11. Since RRP is an orphan disease, it is an understudied disease entity with correspondingly few treatment options. The investigators hypothesize …
General Anesthesia vs Conscious Sedation for Radial Endobronchial Ultrasound
The endoscopic investigation of lung lesions is experiencing significant growth with the increasing number of lung cancer screening programs. Peripheral endobronchial ultrasound (pEBUS) is the most widely used endoscopic technique in the investigation of peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPL). It is performed in relatively equal proportions under conscious sedation and general …
Long-term Home-based Exercise for Patients With COPD: the COPDtoParis Project
This randomised controlled trial (RCT) aims to investigate the effect of long-term, interactive home-based cycle-exercise on patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) after a COPD exacerbation requiring hospitalisation. The investigators aim to investigate if patients can maintain or improve the effects of pulmonary rehabilitation in terms of walking distance, …
Rarecells Molecular Biomarkers for Early Detection of Lung Cancer
Early diagnosis of lung cancer is a public health priority. Additionally, early detection of recurrences after treatment is crucial for optimizing disease management. This study seeks to demonstrate the accuracy of the Rarecells ISET® circulating tumor cells DNA (CTC-DNA), combined with circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), for the early diagnosis of …
Precision Lung Cancer Survivorship Care Intervention
The overarching goal of the Kentucky LEADS Collaborative Lung Cancer Survivorship Care program is to reduce the burden of lung cancer by offering an innovative survivorship care approach that improves lung cancer quality of life, overcomes lung cancer stigma, and helps survivors engage with care. The project involves a two-group …
Passive Heat Therapy for People With COPD
People with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) often develop high blood pressure and heart disease due to their sedentary lifestyle and difficulty exercising. The investigators will test if heating can mimic the health benefits of exercise by monitoring the increase in leg blood-flow using ultrasound during a 45-minute hot-water footbath. …
Transthoracic Drainage of Lung Abscesses. A National Randomized Trial.
This study aims to investigate if early drainage of lung abscesses, in addition to standard antibiotic treatment, leads to shorter length of hospital stay. Study Design This is a randomized, controlled clinical trial. That means participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: Drainage group: Receives a chest …
Respiratory Variability and Postoperative Complications During Thoracic Lung Resection.
Postoperative respiratory complications (PRC) represent a major public health issue. Majority of PRCs occur once the patient leaves the post-interventional monitoring room. Identifying patients at risk for PRC is therefore an important step for improving their post-operative care. In this context, any clinical marker making it possible to detect early …
