Filter by:Distinguishing changes on patients that have received thoracic radiotherapy and patients that are currently receiving or have recently received IO and presenting lung changes which will be identified using AI.
The COVID-19 has a clustering morbidity trend and older people with chronic diseases are more likely to die, such as chronic renal insufficiency and chronic cardiovascular disease. We set up a COVID-19 pneumonia grading scale. The COVID-19 score system was validated to predict the clinical outcome of a patient.
To study the drug-related pneumonitis during mTOR inhibitor therapy in patients with metastatic breast cancer.
The purpose of this study is to learn more about new noninvasive ways of detecting lung disease in US Military personnel and people who worked as contractors during military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. This study is looking at conducting a type of breathing test called the lung clearance index (LCI) test which is being investigated as a potential noninvasive way to detect the type of lung disease that may be seen in symptomatic deployers retuning from Iraq and Afghanistan.
Collagens are proteins present in all tissues. Besides their structural role, recent data showed that they were able to regulate many cellular functions. Many interactions occur between extracellular matrix macromolecules, especially collagen, and various cell types. These interactions can be controlled by peptides derived extracellular matrix macromolecules, called matrikines. Previous work from the investigators laboratory and others have shown that several C-terminal domain (NC1 domains) from basement membrane-associated collagens could regulate many cellular activities. Lung is an organ particularly abundant in basement membranes. It is likely that various lung diseases may affect metabolism of basement membrane associated collagens. To the investigators knowledge, no study has focused on the expression of collagen XIX α1 chain and collagen IV chains α3 and α4 chains in lung and studied possible variations of expression in various pathophysiological situations. The aim of this study are to: - Study the presence of collagen IV and XIX (or fragments) in different types of sampling such as bronchoalveolar lavage, pulmonary aspiration and bronchial biopsies - Evaluate quantitative variations of expression of these collagen in different pulmonary diseases, especially chronic obstructive bronchopneumopathy, infectious pneumonia, pneumonitis or lung cancer.
The purpose of this "before-after" prospective multicenter study is to assess the impact of six Patient Information Leaflets (PILs) on Doctor Patient Communication scale (DPC) and adherence scale for common acute illnesses in emergency ward.
The investigators hypothesize that the scheduled use of bronchoscopy on a regular basis after inhalation injury in burn patients will improve outcome by providing pulmonary hygiene, decrease the incidence of pneumonia, and detect pneumonia earlier than standard treatment without bronchoscopy.
The primary objective of this study is to assess the activity of subcutaneous (SC) amifostine on the incidence and severity of acute radiochemotherapy-induced esophagitis in patients with unresectable Stage IIIA or IIIB non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) receiving combined modality therapy.
