Psychological and Lifestyle Factors on Health Outcomes

PsychologicalStress4 more

Psychosocial and lifestyle factors in Army recruits likely contribute to increased susceptibility to infection and injury during basic Army training. The primary aim of this study is to assess the influence of psychosocial and lifestyle factors at the start of basic Army training on immune health (e.g. respiratory infection and antibody response to influenza vaccination) and injury during training, in an observational design. A secondary aim is to establish whether changes in psychosocial and lifestyle factors during training impact immune health (e.g. response to hepatitis B vaccination). Using an interventional design, participants will be randomly allocated into two experimental groups: (i) Routine vaccination group: to receive first hepatitis B vaccination at initial medical assessment upon entry to basic training and second hepatitis B vaccination 1 month later; (ii) Delayed vaccination group: to receive first hepatitis B vaccination during week 5 of training and second hepatitis B vaccination 1 month later.

Respiratory Endoscopy: Diagnostic Yield, Technical Factors and Complications

Lung NeoplasmLung Diseases3 more

Background: Respiratory endoscopy comprises flexible bronchoscopy and medical thoracoscopy. The diagnostic yield, technical factors and complications for all patient sub-populations is still not clearly defined. This may result in inappropriate or even dangerous application of such procedures. The aim of the study is to collect data on these aspects of respiratory endoscopy and identify important trends, as well as, areas for improvement. This data will also provide baseline comparative data for new bronchoscopic techniques such as endobronchial ultrasound and navigational bronchoscopy. Method: Prospective data collection. Technical details regarding these procedures are currently keyed into the OTM system by the endoscopy operators for documentation and billing. The department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine gets monthly downloads of all the fields from the OTM system for audit purposes.(See data collection form) The research project proposes to make the data non identifiable by removing the patient's name and IC number. Additionally the yield of the procedure will be checked by a chart review of the histology and microbiology results. There are no restrictions on patient recruitment because all procedures will be performed for clinical indications only and no patient will be recruited for the sole purpose of the study. Waiver of consent has been approved by the IRB.

RSV Disease in the Elderly

Respiratory InfectionsAcute1 more

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) causes sickness and deaths in older people every winter. This study will investigate how aging affects the body's immune response (body's response to disease) to RSV. About 2000 people, age 21 and older, who reside in the upstate NY area, will be recruited. Two groups of subjects will be studied. The 1st group of volunteers will be recruited prior to the start of RSV season in year 1 of the study. These volunteers will include healthy people and people with various medical conditions. The 2nd group of volunteers will be patients admitted to Rochester General Hospital for acute respiratory illness. Procedures will include drawing blood from a vein in the arm (2 tablespoons), collecting nasal swabs, and collecting sputum. Volunteers may participate in study related procedures for up to 3 years.

RSV Challenge in Healthy Adults

Respiratory InfectionsAcute1 more

The purpose of this study is to measure the immune response (how the body fights infection) to an experimental preparation of live Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV). A better understanding of this virus may be useful in development of vaccines and treatments. Participants will include 20 healthy adults age 21-40. Study procedures will include drawing blood, urine samples, respiratory exams, vital signs and temperature, diary cards, nasal mucus weight and nasal washes and swabs. All participants will receive vaccine via nose drops. Patients will participate in the study for about 2 months.

Insulin Regulation and Severity of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome COVID-19 Infection

COVID-19Diabetes Mellitus2 more

The Coronavirus Disease of 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused an international healthcare crisis and produced a large healthcare burden. Diabetes mellitus is a common disease that can be controlled via pharmacologic agents; however, many patients have poor glycemic control, leading to disease-related complications. Diabetes mellitus has been reported in the literature to be associated with increasing morbidity and mortality in COVID-19 patients, and some hypothesize that this is due to insulin dysregulation propagating a pro-inflammatory state. The investigators aim to contribute to the growing body of literature that assesses the associations between glucose homeostasis and COVID-19 disease severity and mortality.
