Prospective Evaluation of Patients With Pleural Effusion
Having a pleural effusion is a common reason for being hospitalized, as it usually requires in-patient care for invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Specific subtypes of pleural effusion may warrant recurrent admissions, a longer hospital stay and consume more healthcare resources. Despite the recent advancement of pleural medicine, better research …
Pneumonia and Empyema in Emergency Departments in Children
Describe the epidemiology of hospitalized pediatric pneumonia and pneumonia with pleural effusion: frequency, clinical and biological characteristics, responsible bacteria and pneumococcus place, antibiotic resistance, treatment, vaccine status.
Validation and Clinical Utility of the Lung Sliding Index (LSI) for Differentiating Pulmonary Diseases
This upcoming case-control study aims to confirm the Lung Sliding Index (LSI), a new ultrasound score that measures how well the pleura moves, in various lung diseases. The study will check how well the LSI can tell apart different lung diseases (like pneumothorax, interstitial lung disease, COPD, pneumonia, and pulmonary …
UNC Pleural Fluid Registry
Research with biospecimens such as blood, tissue, or body fluids can help researchers understand how the human body works. Researchers can make new tests to find diseases, understand how treatments work, or find new ways to treat a disease. The purpose of this study is to collect biospecimens for research …
Improvement to Perform Thoracocentesis After a Specific Training in Medical Students With the Supervised Use of an Augmented Reality Simulator
Monocentric study, aiming to assess the improvement of medical students to perform a first-time thoracentesis after training using a specific training using an augmented virtual reality simulator, versus standard training. Study population: medical students from the department of Respirology (University hospital of Strasbourg), performing their first thoracocentesis in patients having …
Continuation Of a Study to Investigate the Effect of Thoracocentesis on Neural Respiratory Drive in Pleural Effusion
The aim of this study is to better understand the relationship between pleural effusions and breathlessness in patients with unilateral pleural effusions and breathlessness who require pleural fluid removal for its management.
Organoid-guided Personalized Treatment of Pleural Effusion
The study is a single-arm, single-center clinical research that utilizes patient-derived tumor organoids to predict drug sensitivity, thereby assisting clinicians in formulating treatment plans to benefit lung cancer patients with pleural effusion. This study is divided into three parts: acquisition of clinical samples from patients, in vitro organoid culture and …
PMCF Study of the CE-marked Drainova® ArgentiC Catheter
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the performance of the drainova® ArgentiC Catheter in clinical routine, which is used to treat fluid accumulations in hollow body structures. The device is already on the market and participants receive the catheter as part of their regular treatment. The …
Longitudinal Follow up of Patients With Pleural Effusion
This study aims to evaluate the clinical course of patients diagnosed with pleural effusion and determine various clinical factors and biomarkers associated that can predict the diagnosis and clinical outcome and prognosis of patients with pleural effusion due to specific causes.
Indwelling Pleural Catheters With or Without Doxycycline in Treating Patients With Malignant Pleural Effusions
This study is designed to obtain preliminary data comparing indwelling pleural catheters (IPCs) versus IPCs plus doxycycline for pleurodesis as treatments for malignant pleural effusion (MPE). Indwelling pleural catheters (IPCs) are commonly used to treat pleural effusions (build-up of fluid in the lungs). Doxycycline is an antibiotic that is also …
