Filter by:This study has been added as a sub study to the Simulation Training for Emergency Department Imaging 2 study (ClinicalTrials.gov ID NCT05427838). The Lunit INSIGHT CXR is a validation study that aims to assess the utility of an Artificial Intelligence-based (AI) chest X-ray (CXR) interpretation tool in assisting the diagnostic accuracy, speed, and confidence of a varied group of healthcare professionals. The study will be conducted using 500 retrospectively collected inpatient and emergency department CXRs from two United Kingdom (UK) hospital trusts. Two fellowship trained thoracic radiologists will independently review all studies to establish the ground truth reference standard. The Lunit INSIGHT CXR tool will be used to analyze each CXR, and its performance will be measured against the expert readers. The study will evaluate the utility of the algorithm in improving reader accuracy and confidence as measured by sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value. The study will measure the performance of the algorithm against ten abnormal findings, including pulmonary nodules/mass, consolidation, pneumothorax, atelectasis, calcification, cardiomegaly, fibrosis, mediastinal widening, pleural effusion, and pneumoperitoneum. The study will involve readers from various clinical professional groups with and without the assistance of Lunit INSIGHT CXR. The study will provide evidence on the impact of AI algorithms in assisting healthcare professionals such as emergency medicine and general medicine physicians who regularly review images in their daily practice.
The current practice of oxygenation and/or ventilation supports in patients undergoing Fiberoptic Bronchoscopy is very heterogeneous among studies published in the literature; in addition, clear outcomes advantages of one strategy over another currently lack. The goal of this observational study is to describe the current practice of oxygenation and/or ventilation supports in patients undergoing Fiberoptic Bronchoscopy (FOB), stratified by baseline respiratory condition, co-morbidities, type of procedure and hospital settings. Investigators will enroll all adult patients undergoing any fiberoptic bronchoscopy in any clinical settings (from outpatients to critically ill patients). No specific exclusion criteria are indicated for enrollment in this study. Investigators will record the following data: - Patient's baseline data. - Type of FOB procedure: toilet bronchoscopy (for secretions, blood, mucus plugs removal), broncho-aspirate (BAS), bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), brushing for cytology, biopsy, endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS). The type and size of bronchoscope (with or without an internal/external camera) and the time of the procedure will be also recorded. - Type of supportive strategy: no support, Standard Oxygen Therapy, High Flow Nasal Cannula, Continuous Positive Airway Pressure and or non invasive ventilation trough mask or helmet, invasive mechanical ventilation. - Sedation - Intra-procedural vital parameters - Occurrence of adverse events: desaturation (i.e. SpO2< 90% for at least 10 seconds), severe desaturation (i.e. SpO2< 80%), need for procedure interruption, hypotensive (systolic blood pressure <90 mmHg) or hypertensive (systolic blood pressure >140 mmHg) events, new onset of cardiac arrhythmias (specify the rhythm) or myocardial ischemia or electrocardiographic ST-alterations, neurological events (i.e. severe sensorium depression, psychomotor agitation). - Post-procedural vital parameters (15 minutes after the procedure). - Clinical outcomes: need for support escalation, need for admission to ward (for outpatient) or ICU (for outpatients and ward-admitted patient).
The current study recruited patients with fibrosing interstitial lung diseases (f-ILD) whatever was the underlying pathology. The investigators aimed to compare the effects of aerobic exercises for lower limbs (LL) versus upper limbs, lower limbs, and breathing exercises (ULB) on the peak exercise measurements that was measured using cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), dyspnea and health related quality of life assessment in this group of patients.
The innovative drug Treamid is planned for use in the rehabilitation of patients after COVID-19 pneumonia in a pilot, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase II clinical study to assess the efficacy and safety of Treamid, tablets, 50 mg in patients with fibrotic changes in the lungs after COVID-19 pneumonia during a 28-day treatment. The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate the efficacy of Treamid tablet, 50 mg in change in forced vital capacity (FVC) and/or diffusing capacity of lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) at Week 4. The secondary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety of Treamid tablet, 50 mg and pharmacokinetics (PK).
The aim of our study is to investigate the etiological distribution of ILD, epidemiological characteristics of ILD cases such as age, gender, geography, smoking, occupation, economic status, education, and comorbidities. Another aim is to make the cost calculation from the first to the diagnosis in the patients diagnosed. Obtaining the missing data related to the ILD of our country is one of our goals.
Alveolar macrophages isolated from bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid from systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients with clinically significant lung fibrosis will be studied at baseline and at 6 months after enrollment to assess longitudinally the presence and persistence of an emergent, pro-fibrotic alveolar macrophage population, using single cell RNA-Seq technology to measure the individual transcriptome from each cell.
