The aim of this interventional, cross-sectional and pathophysiological experimental study is to evaluate the potential of a patient's induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, used prior to the re-differentiation stage, to enable ex vivo repair of the injured epithelium in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), smokers without COPD and …
Chronic inflammatory pulmonary diseases including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), interstitial lung diseases (ILD), bronchiectasis, and cystic fibrosis (CF) are characterized by lung inflammation and remodelling. Clinical, functional, microbiological, biological, pathological and prognosis features are highly variable and heterogeneous. A precise phenotyping is a key-element to better understanding the pathophysiology …
Cannabis is the most consumed drug in the world and the French are the main consumers in Europe. The most recognized effects of cannabis on human health are of a neuro-psychic nature. The medical literature on the effects of cannabis on the lung in general, and on lung carcinogenesis in …
Chronic rejection, more commonly called bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS), is the leading cause of death beyond the first year post lung transplantation. The diagnosis of BOS is typically made by clinical, physiological, and radiographic parameters. Early detection would be desirable since it allows treatment modification to stop or delay the …
The study focuses on evaluating the effectiveness and safety of tubeless anesthesia in single-port thoracoscopic surgery for early-stage lung cancer patients. Traditional anesthesia methods risk postoperative complications like lung injury and respiratory issues. Tubeless anesthesia preserves spontaneous breathing without tracheal intubation, potentially reducing these complications and enhancing recovery. The study …
A subset of young adults participating in the American Lung Association (ALA) Lung Health Cohort (LHC) will be imaged using Hyperpolarized 129Xe MRI to assess lung structure and function. Images will be used to improve the understanding of lung health and early lung abnormalities that may lead to chronic lung …
A non-sponsored prospective randomized single-blind national multicenter interventional study which aims to compare the diagnostic accuracy between US-guided percutaneous lung needle biopsies and CT-guided in peripheral lung lesions. Secondary endpoints are: onset of number and type of complications during and after the procedure, within the first three hour; exposition to …
Acute hypoxemic de novo respiratory failure (AHRF) is a common cause of admission to the intensive care unit (ICU). Its main cause is community-acquired pneumonia. Prevention of intubation relies, among other things, on high-flow nasal canulae (HFNC). However, approximately 40% of patients are intubated despite HFNC. Our team has developed …
This is a cross sectional case controlled study to assess lung microbiome and inflammation in smokers with and without Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Investigators will look at active bacterial metabolic pathways in the lower airways using metagenomic and metabolomic approaches an assess relationships among microbiome, metagenome, metabolome and host …
This prospective observational study aims to investigate the impact of lung ultrasound morphology patterns on treatment response and weaning outcomes in high-risk mechanically ventilated patients. The study will be conducted in the intensive care unit (ICU) and will include patients who have been on mechanical ventilation for over 24 hours, …
