Babies born early (under 32 weeks) are at risk of developing lung problems after birth. A major reason for this is that the lungs are not fully developed. Lungs of preterm babies will often collapse in between breathing due to lung immaturity. Applying gentle pressure, using nasal device through their …
Sarcoma which has spread to the lungs is most often treated with surgery. Even with surgery, most patients will not be cured and will die from their disease, probably because of small cancer cells that are present in the lungs at the time of surgery, but cannot be seen or …
Abnormalities of the lungs are common in newborns and can include aspiration or infectious pneumonia, respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), pulmonary hypertension (PH), congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), and other abnormalities of lung development. Diagnostic radiography is commonly used in this population to differentiate diagnosis and to assess changes …
NIMBLE is a prospective study for blood biomarker study of lung nodules alongside analysing data which has been collected routinely as part of patient care. The primary aim of NIMBLE is to assess whether artificial intelligence and machine learning based radiomics approaches can be used to distinguish between benign disease …
Lung transplant is an option for treating end-stage lung disease in cystic fibrosis (CF). In the United States, more people with CF and low lung function die each year than undergo lung transplant. More than half of people with CF who die without a lung transplant were never referred for …
Over the last 20 years, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been used to support adult patients with respiratory or cardiac failure who are unlikely to survive conventional treatment methods. ECMO circuit, pump, and oxygenator technology improvements permit safer perfusion for extended periods. The prolonged use of an ECMO circuit increases …
Indeterminate lung nodules (6-15mm) are frequent findings in patients undergoing chest CT scanning, but adequate follow-up imaging is currently not in place to facilitate early detection, diagnosis and decision making regarding treatment. The introduction of long Field-Of-View PET/CT scanners could make a difference in this matter due to the substantial …
This prospective study aims to determine the incidence of Post-tuberculosis lung damage (PTLD), examine trends in the changes in lung function, and investigate the impact of smoking and other factors on respiratory symptoms, lung function, and chest CT findings, which will aid in the development of prognostic and therapeutic strategies …
This is an open-label, non-randomized, single-center, phase II study to evaluate the efficacy, toxicity and, tolerability of pre-specified dose attenuated chemotherapy regimens in lung cancer patients with comorbidities.
The purpose of this research study is to see if participating in Latin dance for 12 sessions can improve wellbeing in several areas including balance, fear of movement, anxiety, depression and spirometry.
