Examining the Effects of Nasal High Flow Oxygen Therapy Compared to Non-invasive Ventilation in Health Volunteers
Respiratory failure is characterized by low levels of oxygen and high levels of carbon dioxide in the blood which causes difficulty breathing. The management of patients with respiratory failure aims at improving oxygenation, and decreasing the effort required to breathe. Mechanical ventilation is a life-saving treatment, but may be associated …
Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Therapy for Cancer and Risk of Myocarditis or Cardiomyopathy
Patients undergoing dual treatment with Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) for various cancers, e.g. melanoma, are at increased risk of developing myocarditis and cardiomyopathy. Currently, only limited data on serial myocardial tissue changes during treatment and whether they predict outcomes are available. Cardiac MRI (CMR) is the reference standard for non-invasive …

Targeted Deprescribing in Patients on Hemodialysis
Hemodialysis (HD) patients take more pills per day on average than any other chronically ill patient population. On average, an HD patient takes 19 medications per day, of which 70% may not be appropriate. The reason the medications may not be appropriate is that HD patients are rarely included in …
The Simplify Project
The high frequency of unplanned hospital visits of patients with chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure (e.g., chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, obesity-related hypoventilation) constitutes a major public health problem. Most patients admitted for acute exacerbations (AHRF) have additional comorbidities, especially sleep disorders. Often untreated, sleep disorders contribute to multiple readmissions (≈70% at …
Comparing Cardiac Chamber Measurements: TTE vs. TEE Under Anesthesia
This study aims to compare two common ultrasound techniques used during heart surgery: transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). TTE is performed by placing an ultrasound probe on the chest, while TEE involves inserting a probe into the esophagus, which provides closer and clearer images of the heart. Both …
Fetal Ebstein Anomaly and Tricuspid Valve Dysplasia Registry
Ebstein anomaly and tricuspid valve dysplasia (EA/TVD) are rare congenital tricuspid valve malformations that carry among the highest mortality of all congenital heart disease diagnosed in utero. Despite the high mortality associated with severe EA/TVD in the fetus, it has only been studied retrospectively. By prospectively enrolling a cohort across …
