Genetic Variation in IgG in Alpha 1 Antitrypsin Deficiency
The goal of this study is to learn whether patients who have a genetic mutation in the genes that cause alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency also have genetic variation in nearby genes that can increase risk for reduced immune function and respiratory infections. To investigate this hypothesis, we will compare immune …
The Increase of Lung Capacity Using the Lung Master (Pulmonary Exerciser)
Investigators are studying how a device called The Lung Master device can help people breathe better. The investigational device increases the amount of air our lungs can hold, which is important for overall lung health. The Lung Master is not approved by the FDA. The study has two visits approximately …
OPTIMISE Lung SABR
This study is a phase II multi-centre, randomised study independently evaluating five fraction Image-Guided Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy (IG-SABR) and three fraction IG-SABR for patients with a peripherally located T1-T2 and selected T3 and T4 lung tumours, or a peripherally located single pulmonary oligometastatic lesion.
A Multicenter Phase II Study of Stereotactic Radiotherapy for Centrally Located Lung Tumors (STRICT-LUNG STUDY) and Ultra-centrally Located Lung Tumors (STAR-LUNG STUDY).
An open-label phase II study, investigating toxicity, treatment efficacy and the local tumor control rate in 69 patients with centrally located tumors and in 69 patients with ultra-centrally located tumors in the lung. Treatment and patient outcomes will be recorded. Centrally located tumors are treated on standard-linacs with daily CBCT …
Neutrophil Phenotypic Profiling and Acute Lung Injury in Patients After Cardiopulmonary Bypass (CPB)
Acute lung injury (ALI) following cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a serious complication, often prolonging the length of stay in ICU and potentially dealing to mortality. The objective of this study is to assess the mechanism of CPB-mediated acute lung injury in pediatric patients.
Functional Lung Avoidance Planning Guided by Lung Perfusion PET/CT Versus Anatomical Planning for Lung Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy
Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) has an increasing role in the treatment of both primary and secondary lung tumors. However, lung SBRT remains associated with significant radiation induced lung injury (RILI). Indeed, the reported incidence of symptomatic radiation induced lung injury (grade≥2) in the published literature is up to 20%. A …
Additional Effects of Flutter With Conventional Chest Physiotherapy on Peak Expiratory Flow Rate and Chest Expansion in Post CABG Patients With COPD
Flutter therapy is an oscillating positive expiratory pressure (OPEP) technique that combines positive expiratory pressure with airway oscillations to facilitate mobilization and clearance of respiratory secretions. Conventional chest physiotherapy includes deep breathing exercises, incentive spirometry, airway-clearance techniques, splinted coughing and early mobilization to promote lung expansion and secretion clearance. A …
Lung and Bone Marrow Transplantation for Lung and Bone Marrow Failure
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a lung transplantation prior to bone marrow transplantation (BMT) would allow for restoration of pulmonary function prior to BMT, allowing to proceed to BMT, to restore hematologic function.
In Vivo Lung Perfusion (IVLP) for Colorectal Cancer Metastatic to Lung
This study is investigating a new technique for delivering chemotherapy directly into the lungs at the time of surgery. Delivering chemotherapy directly to the lungs could potentially kill any microscopic cancer cells that are present in the lungs at the time of surgery, while sparing other major organs in the …
Lung Surgery With Enhanced Recovery VS. Lung Surgery Without Enhanced Recovery
Objective: The adoption of Enhanced Recovery Surgery programs in lung resection is relatively recent with limited outcome data. This study aimed to determine the impact of an Enhanced Recovery Surgery pathway on short- term and long- term results in patients undergoing lung resection for primary lung cancer. Methods: A Randomized …
