Single-cell Sequencing of BLF to Guide the Treatment of Radiation Pneumonitis or Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Pneumonitis
A multicenter, exploratory clinical research, to map the radiation or immune checkpoint inhibitor pneumonitis in patients with alveolar lavage single-celled map. Find out the pathogenesis and prevention strategies of radiation or immune checkpoint inhibitor pneumonitis. Specific treatment is given based on the recommendation of the treatment guidelines for radiation or …
PET Imaging CCR2 in Lung Inflammation
The primary objective of this study is to assess the lung distribution of the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging radiotracer Cu-DOTA-ECL1i, which binds to the specific population inflammatory cells, in patients with fibrotic lung diseases. This objective includes sub-studies to assess radiotracer distribution in the lung, the reproducibility of PET …
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 …
Inhaler Trainer Efficacy Study
This will be a randomized, controlled, clinical trial. The investigators aim to determine the feasibility of and efficacy of the Inhaler Trainer Device for ongoing inhaler skill training. The research team will enroll 140 patients from the inpatient or outpatient setting from the University of Chicago Medicine over the course …
Evaluating a Bidirectional Priming Intervention for Goals-of-care Communication in Oncology
This pilot study will evaluate whether an intervention aimed at hospitalized patients with advanced lung and gastrointestinal cancers can help facilitate goals-of-care (GOC) communication with their oncologists after discharge. While GOC communication is a recommended component of routine oncology care, many patients with solid cancers do not have the opportunity …
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.
Hyperoxia Induced Pulmonary Inflammation and Organ Injury: a Human in Vivo Model
Oxygen is the most commonly administered therapy in critical illness. Accumulating evidence suggests that patients often achieve supra-physiological levels of oxygenation in the critical care environment. Furthermore, hyperoxia related complications following cardiac arrest, myocardial infarction and stroke have also been reported. The underlying mechanisms of hyperoxia mediated injury remain poorly …
Regional Distribution of Ventilation at Different Respiratory Rates
This study will investigate the distribution of gas during mechanical ventilation in patients undergoing robot assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy. The gas distribution of ventilation are monitored and data extracted using electric impedance tomography in different respiratory rates.
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 …
