Plasma Metabolomics as a Tool to Distinguish PET-positive Malignant From PET-positive Benign Nodules
Positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) is an important technique in lung cancer staging, where almost no lung lesion goes undetected. However, PET-CT often fails to discriminate between malignant and non-malignant PET-positive solitary pulmonary nodules (SPNs) with a specificity of only 23%. 40-50% of those patients are advised to repeat their …
The Effects of Different Ventilation Modes on Patients With Pulmonary Lobe Resection
The objective of this study was to discuss the effects of different ventilation modes on patients with plasma inflammatory factor and respiratory function in patients with pulmonary removal.
Breathe Easier With Tadalafil Therapy for Dyspnea in COPD-PH
The investigators will study whether the drug tadalafil improves shortness of breath in 126 Veterans with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and high blood pressure in the lungs. The investigators will also assess whether tadalafil improves quality of life, home daily physical activity, exercise endurance, the frequency of acute flares …
Impact of Positive Airway Pressure Therapy on Clinical Outcomes in Older Veterans With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Comorbid Obstructive Sleep Apnea (Overlap Syndrome)
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) are highly prevalent chronic respiratory diseases in the Veteran population. OSA co-occurring with COPD, known as Overlap Syndrome (OVS), is a complex chronic medical condition associated with grave consequences. OVS is highly prevalent in Veterans. Veterans with OVS may be …
Role of Lung Ultrasound and Pulsed-wave Doppler in Lung Consolidations in Mechanically Ventilated Patients
In infectious lung consolidations, the inhibition of hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) results in a higher regional acceleration time (RAcT) compared to the RAcT measured in atelectatic consolidations.
Study of AVZO-1418 as a Single Agent and in Combination Therapy in Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors (AVZO-1418-1001)
This study, the first clinical trial of AVZO-1418, aims to determine the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, maximum tolerated dose, and antitumor activity of AVZO-1418 when administered intravenously as a monotherapy and potentially in combination therapy to patients with locally advanced or metastatic epithelial solid tumors.
Effects of Bright-light Exposure Combined With Specific Exercise Training (BEST) Program in Patients With Cancer
This study plans to investigate the effectiveness of six-week light exposure combined with an exercise training program on improving sleep-wake rhythm, physical and mental symptoms, quality of life, one-year recurrence rate, and one-year survival rate of patients with lung and esophageal cancer.
A Multicenter Phase II Study of Stereotactic Radiotherapy for Centrally Located Lung Tumors (STRICT-LUNG STUDY) and Ultra-centrally Located Lung Tumors (STAR-LUNG STUDY).
An open-label phase II study, investigating toxicity, treatment efficacy and the local tumor control rate in 69 patients with centrally located tumors and in 69 patients with ultra-centrally located tumors in the lung. Treatment and patient outcomes will be recorded. Centrally located tumors are treated on standard-linacs with daily CBCT …
Improving Quality of Life and Daily Life Activities With Bioarginine in Patients With COPD
Different studies have suggested that COPD is associated with elevated alveolar NO and increased expression of NOS2 in alveolar walls, small airway epithelium and vascular smooth muscle. Furthermore, arginase activity in COPD is shown to correlate inversely with total NO metabolite in sputum and with pre- and post- bronchodilator FEV1; …
The Increase of Lung Capacity Using the Lung Master (Pulmonary Exerciser)
Investigators are studying how a device called The Lung Master device can help people breathe better. The investigational device increases the amount of air our lungs can hold, which is important for overall lung health. The Lung Master is not approved by the FDA. The study has two visits approximately …
