Filter by:The purpose of this study is the evaluation of using bi-level positive airway pressure ventilation in candidates for fiber-optic bronchoscopy regarding benefits and drawbacks.
To learn if LADS is better than VESPA at preventing atelectasis during a robotic bronchoscopy.
Assessing the feasibility and testing the accuracy of the developed artificial intelligence algorithms for detection of wheezes and crackles in patients with lung pathologies in clinical settings on unseen local patient data acquired through three digital stethoscopes.
This will be a prospective, randomized clinical trial, comparing the sternal alignment between the fixation with rigid plate X steel wires. Patients over 18 years of age, belonging to the lung transplant line in the State of São Paulo, who will undergo bilateral lung transplantation will be studied.
Lung cancer is one of the most common cancer diseases, globally and locally. Several health benefits of increased physical activity (PA) have been reported for people with cancer. PA plays a critical role across the cancer trajectory, from prevention through to post-diagnosis and has been proposed as an alternative for improving physical and psychosocial health outcomes, reducing cancer recurrence, and cancer-specific and all-cause mortality. Although there are a variety of exercise intervention programs for cancer patients, those programs were quite intensive, requiring individuals to commit extra time and effort. Feeling of overwhelmed appointments, lack of time, other barriers, including high cost and limited access to facilities are the most frequently reported barriers that prevent people from starting and maintaining exercise. Hence, the investigators propose to use a brief messaging lifestyle modification intervention program to incorporating simple and easy-to-do patient-centred home-based lifestyle-integrated exercise into daily activities of patients with lung cancer. The aims are to explore the feasibility of using instant messaging to enhance physical activity and improve their fatigue, emotion and quality of life, and obtain feedback from patients for intervention and study design improvement.
Endocan is a proteoglycan produced by the vascular endothelium. Animal studies suggested that the synthesis mainly happen in the pulmonary circulation, but this hypothesis has never been confirmed in humans.
Tobacco smoke is the most common source of exposure to carcinogens in humans. Indeed, the smoke contains about 1010 particles per ml and 4800 chemical compounds, at least 66 are carcinogenic. Tobacco smoke is the leading preventable cause of cancer in humans since it is responsible for lung cancer, upper aerodigestive tract (mouth, pharynx, larynx, esophagus), nasal cavity and sinuses, stomach, pancreas, liver, bladder, kidney, uterine cervix, and some myeloid leukemias. This study aims to evaluate the combined effect of the scanner and the search for circulating tumor cells (CTC) on screening for tobacco-related cancers, accompanying smokers to cessation and addressing the psychological impact this approach.
This study is being done to determine if sending reminder text messages helps patients take their Oral Anticancer Medication (OAMs) when they are supposed to.
Investigators hypothesized that perioperative lung ultrasound would be beneficial in pediatric patients undergoing cardiac surgery compared to those who did not receive lung ultrasound.
Efforts to identify circulating factors that predict severity of acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome（ALI/ARDS） patients is unrevealing. The primary purpose of this study is to verify our hypothesis that soluble CD74 might be a potential novel ALI/ARDS biomarker.
