Automated Intraoperative Lung Recruitment Maneuvers in Major Laparoscopic Surgery
Laparoscopic colorectal surgery is associated with an increased risk of intraoperative atelectasis due to pneumoperitoneum, Trendelenburg positioning, and prolonged anesthesia duration. Atelectasis developing during surgery may persist into the postoperative period and contribute to postoperative pulmonary complications. Automated lung recruitment maneuvers delivered by modern anesthesia ventilators may offer a standardized …
Complicated Pneumonia (CP) in Children in South-East Europe
This retrospective observational study aims to evaluate clinical course of complicated community acquired pneumonia in children, particularly focusing on necrotizing pneumonia cases, as well as determination of etiological agents (viruses and bacteria) and its association to severity and outcomes of the disease. Furthermore, therapeutic approach, complications, short-term and long-term outcomes …
Inhaled Budesonide for REcurrence Prevention and Adjuvant THerapy in Checkpoint Inhibitor Pneumonitis
The introduction of immune checkpoint inhibitors (immunotherapy) that stimulate our immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells has been one of the most exciting advances in oncology over the last decade. These medications are now employed across almost half of cancer types and settings, however they come with a …
Pneumoperitoneum Pressure and Lung Ultrasound Atelectasis
Elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy may lead to perioperative atelectasis due to pneumoperitoneum-related diaphragmatic elevation and impaired respiratory mechanics. Lung ultrasound (LUS) provides a noninvasive bedside method for evaluating perioperative aeration loss. This prospective randomized controlled study aims to compare the effects of low-pressure (10 mmHg) and standard-pressure (14 mmHg) pneumoperitoneum on …
Hyperpolarized 129-Xenon Imaging in Adult Hematopoietic Cell Transplant Recipients With Pulmonary Impairment
This study is designed to measure the correlation of hyperpolarized 129-Xe magnetic resonance imaging (129-XeMRI) in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (allo-HCT) recipients at MD Anderson Cancer Center (MDACC) who develop bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) or BOS stage 0p (pulmonary impairment not meeting the definition for BOS, defined below) and controls …
Functional Improvement in OSA and COPD With a Telehealth LifeStyle and Exercise Intervention
The investigators will conduct a Type I hybrid effectiveness-implementation study to test an integrated telehealth intervention among 400 overweight and obese patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). The investigators will include eligible participants receiving primary care at one of five Department of Veterans Affairs …
Hypertonic Saline for MAC
The MAC-HS study is a testing whether hypertonic saline helps improve symptoms and clearance of mycobacteria in patients with M. avium complex lung infections.
3D Virtual Resection for Predicting Lung Function in VATS
This study aims to validate a novel preoperative assessment strategy using three-dimensional (3-D) computed tomography (CT) reconstruction and virtual resection simulation. The goal is to accurately predict postoperative pulmonary function in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) undergoing Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) anatomical resection. Accurate prediction of postoperative lung …
The Cardiovascular Consequences of Sleep Apnea Plus COPD (Overlap Syndrome)
Major progress has been made in the area of cardiovascular disease, but we believe that further progress will involve mechanistically addressing underlying respiratory causes including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The most common cause of death in COPD is cardiovascular, although mechanisms are unknown. OSA …
Association of Psychological Distress in Patients With Lung Cancer
Psychological distress is a multi-factorial experience of a psychological, social, spiritual, and/or physical nature that may interfere with one's ability to cope effectively with cancer, physical symptoms and treatment. Psychological distress is common and affects the efficacy and prognosis of patients with lung cancer. The systematic anti-tumor therapy may effectively …
