Filter by:The goal of this cross-sectional observational study is to estimate the prevalence of lung function impairment as measured by spirometry in a population of Gambian women aged 15 and older. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - What is the prevalence of lung function impairment in Gambian women - What is the prevalence of eosinophilic inflammation in Gambian women Consenting participants will undergo - Spirometry - Fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FENO) testing - α1-antitrypsin testing in patients with lung function impairment as assessed by spirometry
Create a personalized time and context curve of patient circulating α1-antitrypsin (AAT) levels and functions before hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and throughout progression into GVHD. PRIMARY ENDPOINT 1. Serum AAT levels and activity, before myeloablative preconditioning, as well as on days (-3),0,7,14,28 from HSCT and every 21 days thereafter. SECONDARY ENDPOINTS 1. Correlation between AAT patterns and: - Circulating immune cell activation profiles on day of ablation, 28 days from HSCT and once GVHD is diagnosed. - Patient survival - Liver function tests - GVHD grade: skin manifestations, weight, GI and liver histopathology - Graft-versus-leukemia effect
