The objective of this study is to demonstrate the influence of pectus excavatum on the anaerobic threshold during exercise. This could be an objective measurement of exercise intolerance. An objective measurement of exercise intolerance can later…
1. Esophageal ultrasound guided (EUS-B) sampling of intrathoracic lymph nodes has a14% higher granuloma detection rate compared to endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS)guided nodal sampling in patients with suspected sarcoidosis stage I/II.2. 25G ProCore…
-To assess the central chemosensitivity by an carbon dioxide rebreathing test-To assess mouth occlusion pressures during the carbon dioxide rebreathing test-To study the relation between these results and the results obtained with the MRI and…
We hypothesize that speckle tracking sonography of the diaphragm is a potential non-invasive method to evaluate diaphragm function. The objective is to evaluate whether speckle tracking sonography of the diaphragm gives a good representation of…
I. To evaluate what the impact is of posterior scoliosis correction on respiratory muscle function (strength, endurance, power and work of breathing).II. To evaluate the relation of changes in respiratory muscle function, due to the posterior…
To evaluate the ability of the IL-2 scan tot detect the presence of acute rejection in the transplanted lungs and the correlate the uptake of IL-2 with the histopathological findings after transbronchial biopsy.
Primary Objective: To study the options of the PulmoVista 500 system to visualize regional real-time lung ventilation in healthy volunteersResearch questions:- Can the PulmoVista 500 system provide sufficient information regarding regional lung…
The primary goal is to evaluate the difference between diaphragm tissue characteristics and movement in extubated COVID-ICU patients after >72 hours of invasive mechanical ventilation compared to other ICU-patients and healthy controls.…
1). Develop a model in which the electrical activity of the diaphragm (EAdi) is used to predict the transdiaphragmatic pressure (Pdi) 2) Assess to which degree this model is accurate in estimation Pdi-derived parameters (such as work of breathing…
It is not known whether recurrent wheeze in preterm children is caused by RSV infection (serial hypothesis) or that RSV infection is the first indication of chronic airway morbidity that would develop anyway (parallel hypothesis). This study aims to…
