Characterization of Fetal Lung With Quantitative Ultrasound
The purpose of the study is to show if it's possible to use a special kind of ultrasound called backscatter quantitative ultrasound (bQUS) to check on a baby's lungs when the mother is 36 weeks pregnant. 12 participants will be on study for a single 30 minute ultrasound between 32 …
Environmental Pollutants in COPD and Lung Cancer
Epidemiological studies describe a statistically significant correlation between hospitalization rate and exposure to environmental pollutants such as atmospheric particulates (PM10 and PM2.5) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). Indeed, they induced the release of inflammation mediators and oxidative stress, involved in remodeling and destruction of the alveolar parenchyma, in turn associated …
Lung Ultrasound in Pediatric Acute Chest Syndrome
Sickle-cell disease is a common disease with serious complications, in particular acute chest syndrome (ACS), which can be life threatening. The pathophysiology of ACS is poorly understood, but alveolar hypoventilation appears to play an important role. Pulmonary ultrasound is increasingly used in pediatrics to diagnose ACS. The management of ACS …
Analysis of the Pulmonary Microbiome
The purpose of the protocol is to study the pulmonary microbiome in patients who develop pneumonia.
A Study to Investigate the Family History of Cancer in Patients With Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (FAHIC - Lung).
Germline testing to find genetic alteration that can be linked to inherited susceptibility of developing the disease is recommended for patients diagnosed with certain solid cancers, such as breast, prostate and ovarian, due to strong association with inheritable mutations implying familiar counselling. Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) is the leading …
Prospective Registry of Eosinophilia With Respiratory Manifestations With Translational Research Identifying and Characterizing Eosinophils
Introduction: The etiology and therapy of eosinophilic lung diseases are still poorly understood. For individual forms of disease, such as eosinophilic asthma or eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA), new therapeutic approaches exist that block the interleukin IL-5 or the IL-5 receptor. Eosinophilic manifestations of the respiratory tract can exclusively affect …
Shared Decision Making in Patients With Lung Cancer
The objective of this study is to develop a Decision Aid for Lung Cancer Molecular Testing (DA_LCMT) and to facilitate shared-decision making in patients who were diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma by intraoperative frozen pathology about whether to conduct the molecular testing.
Radiotherapy Exposed Lung Injury: Effect on Functioning - Cohort
Prospective cohort research to study the state of oxygen metabolism, reserve capabilities of cardiovascular and respiratory systems in patients with breast cancer to create a program of prevention and rehabilitation of lung damage in the process of complex treatment of the disease. The aim of the study is to study …
Collection of Sputum and Labeling for Lung Cancer
The primary objective of this study is to compare Assay results to diagnoses determined by currently accepted standards for lung cancer detection. This will be accomplished by analysis of sputum samples from three cohorts including healthy Participants, high risk Participants, and cancer patient Participants using the Assay as developed in …
Evaluation Of The Lung Microbiome In NTM Bronchiectasis
A biomarker cohort study design is proposed to study whether specific airway microbiota alterations are associated with pulmonary Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) disease. In a cohort of 200 subjects suspected of having pulmonary NTM disease, the investigators will evaluate the airway microbiome using an aliquot of the induced sputum and upper …
