Interstitial Lung Abnormalities (ILA) have been previously defined as nondependent changes affecting more than 5% of any lung zone on computed tomography (CT) scans of the lung. Several studies suggest that the prevalence of ILA in participants in non-pulmonary research studies ranges anywhere from 7-9%. Work over the last decade has shown that, despite previous characterization as an asymptomatic research finding, ILA has significant clinical and biological consequences. These include reduced exercise capacity, functional limitations, decreased lung volumes, increased mortality, and in some cases histopathology similar to Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). ILA have been detected in lung cancer screening cohorts, where the prevalence of ILA is estimated to be between (10%-20%) to those noted in other research cohorts. Given that a significant proportion of those will have progression, CT lung cancer screening (CTLS) cohorts represent an ideal catchment population for future research and clinical trials. Lahey Hospital and Medical Center was one of the earliest clinical centers to develop a CTLS program in the country. Investigators propose to qualitatively characterize ILA in a large clinical CTLS population.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of inspiratory muscle training program in inspiratory muscle endurance, breathlessness, inspiratory muscle strength, functional capacity and quality of life in patients with interstitial lung disease. Patients are evaluated before the inspiratory muscle training and after 8 weeks of training.
Pneumonia is a recurrent element of COVID-19 infection, it is often associated with development of respiratory failure and patients frequently need various degrees of oxygen therapy up to non invasive ventilation (NIV-CPAP) and invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV). Main purpose of this study is to evaluate with non invasive clinical instruments (pletysmography, Diffusion lung capacity for carbon monoxide -DLCO-, six minute walking test and dyspnea scores) and radiological tools (chest X-ray and chest CT scan) the development of medium-to-long term pulmonary sequelae caused by SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia.
To investigate the ability of machine learning models based on radiomic features extracted from thin-section CT images to differentiate IPF patients from non-IPF interstitial lung diseases.
This is a first in human (FIH), multi-center, dose escalating study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD) and immunogenicity of AD-214 when administered to healthy volunteers (HVs). The study in HVs will be a randomized, double blind, and placebo-controlled single ascending dose (SAD) and multiple ascending dose (MAD) (Part B) study.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the clinical features and long-term outcome of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-positive interstitial lung disease (ILD) and assess the difference between microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) associated ILD and isolated ANCA-positive idiopathic interstitial pneumonia.
The objective of this study is to administer and validate a disease specific health related quality of life (HRQOL) survey for patients with Chronic Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis (CHP).
Frailty is closely linked to the success of lung transplantations (LTx) (1,2). Studies have shown that frailty causes a diminished physical performance in candidates for LTx and an increased 30 day rate of re-hospitalization after surgery. Furthermore, frailty is associated with a higher one-year-mortality rate after LTx in frail compared to non-frail patients (1,3,4). Some evidence that frailty in LTx-candidates can be decreased by a suitable rehabilitation program suggests that improving the frailty status in post-LTx patients can be a further strategy to contribute to an overall success in LTx. However, at the moment these possible benefits are not investigated yet. Therefore the aim of this study is to observe the effect of a three-week inpatient rehabilitation on frailty in patients after LTx.
This is uncontrolled, interventional feasibility study for determining the effects medical music on anxiety levels in subjects with ILD. Enrolled subjects will be asked to complete questionnaires and undergo physiologic measurements prior to listening to medical music. The music intervention will be for approximately 30 minutes. Post intervention questionnaires and physiologic measurements will be done.
