Pleural Irrigation With Normal Saline Versus Intrapleural Fibrinolytic (PENTAD-FT)
Parapneumonic effusions caused by an infection of the pleural membranes occur in 40-57% of cases of pneumonia. A variable percentage (10-20%) of parapneumonic effusions progresses to empyema (pus) and/or abscess formation (encapsulation). Pleural infection is associated with significant morbidity and mortality which may be as high as 20-35% in immunocompromised …

The Management of Traumatic Hemothoraces (HemoTxRCT)
Chest injuries are common in patients with polytrauma and are responsible for approximate 25% of all trauma-related mortalities. Traumatic injuries to the thorax often result in the accumulation of blood within the chest (i.e. a hemothorax (HTX)). The management of HTX remains a clinical dilemma when the volume of blood …

Study of Fetoscopic Endoluminal Tracheal Occlusion (FETO) in Fetuses With Severe Left Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) (FETO)
Despite advances in prenatal diagnosis and postnatal therapies, including extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), inhaled nitric oxide therapy, and ventilator strategies that minimize ventilator-induced lung injury, morbidity and mortality rates for babies with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) remain high. The survival relates to the degree of prenatal lung compression and the …

Evaluation of Pneumoconiosis High Risk Early Warning Models
Precaution of pneumoconiosis is more important than treatment. However, the current process can't early warn the high-risk dust exposed workers until they are diagnosed with pneumoconiosis. With the feature of efficiency, impersonality and quantification, artificial intelligence is just appropriate for solving this problems. Therefore, we are aiming at adapting deep …

Diaphragmatic Motion Using Linear Ultrasound
This study evaluates the movement of the diaphragm (which is the main muscle used for breathing). It will compare two ultrasound modalities: linear ultrasound versus curvilinear ultrasound, at measuring diaphragm motion. The proposed measurement method with linear ultrasound is novel, and will be compared against the established method with curvilinear …
