Assessing Optimal Inhaler Strategies During Acute Exacerbations of COPD (AECOPDs) Using Oscillometry
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a persistent lung disease that makes it very difficult to breathe. The airways and the normally 'spongy' lungs themselves are affected. The main treatment is puffers, some which are long-acting (to control persistent symptoms) and some which are short-acting ('rescue' puffers when suddenly feeling …
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 …
Relationship of Inflammation and Pulmonary Function to Fungal Translocation in HIV
The investigator will study the origin of fungal translocation in HIV, its relationship to the mycobiome, and its relationship to lung function and inflammation. Supported by the preliminary data and published studies, this project is based on the premise that circulating BDG derived from microbial translocation stimulates inflammation and worsens …
Physiological and Environmental Data in a Remote Setting to Predict Exacerbation Events in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
The study plans to monitor around 300 people from different hospitals with COPD for a period of 3 months after they are discharged from the hospital using a smartphone app and a Fitbit device. This device can passively track certain health metrics; this way the research team can research whether …
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 …
A Single-cell Approach to Identify Biomarkers of Pulmonary Toxicity for Immune Checkpoint Blockade
The main goal of this prospective non-interventional exploratory monocentric study is to characterize the immune cell composition of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid from cancer patients experiencing cancer therapy-induced pneumonitis on a single-cell scale. These mechanistic insights can directly lead to putative diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets. A second highly clinically …
LUNG INFECTION in ICU (LUNG-I3)
objective of LUNG-I3 study is to assess the quantitative and functional differences in cells between blood and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid after an infection, with a special focus on alveolar macrophages and neutrophils
Deep Learning Diagnostic and Risk-stratification for IPF and COPD
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), non-specific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are severe, progressive, irreversibly incapacitating pulmonary disorders with modest response to therapeutic interventions and poor prognosis. Prompt and accurate diagnosis is important to enable patients to receive appropriate care at the earliest possible stage to delay …
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 …
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 …
