1. A Study to Assess Neuromuscular Ultrasound to Predict the Duration of Mechanical Ventilation.

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether or not the diaphragm and abdominal muscle thickness determine the duration of mechanical ventilation in adult critically ill patients.

2. A Study to Evaluate RheOx Bronchial Rheoplasty System to Treat Chronic Bronchitis in Adults with COPD

   Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of Bronchial Rheoplasty for the treatment of the symptoms of chronic bronchitis in adult COPD patients with moderate to severe chronic bronchitis.

    

3. A Study to Analyze Potential Long-term Treatments for Covid-19 Recovery

   Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   This study aims to further understand the extent of long term effects of COVID-19 via batteries of self-assessment questionnaires focused on the most common complications of SARS-COVID 19 infections including respiratory and cardiovascular symptoms, frailty, fatigue, exercise capacity, cognitive and emotional functionality, and overall quality of life. Furthermore, we will investigate the impact of 4 weeks of respiratory muscle training and nasal breathing on the above mentioned long-term Covid-19 disease complications.

    

4. COVID-19 and Acute Renal Failure

   Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Rochester, Minn.

   The primary purpose of this study is to examine 1-year survival and rate of secondary infections in COVID-19 patients with and without acute kidney injury (AKI).

    

    

    

5. A Study to Evaluate Oxygen Supplementation Duration to Assess Resolution of Acute Hypoxic Respiratory Failure

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility, reliability and validity of oxygen supplementation duration as an intermediate outcome of resolution of acute hypoxic respiratory failure from all cause in comparison with PaO2/FiO2, SaO2/FiO2 ratio, and lung injury score trajectories in critically ill patients with acute respiratory failure.

6. Study to Compare Electrical and Ultrasonographic Evaluation of the Phrenic Nerve-Diaphragm Neuromuscular Junction (NMJ) Function

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to ensure technical success in the treatment of assessing diaphragmatic neuromuscular junction (NMJ) function of the diaphragm in normal patients.

7. Development of Potential COVID-19 Vaccine and Serological Assay

   Rochester, Minn.

   Our group has explored the use of genomic RNA/phage display libraries derived from primary human malignant melanoma cells as a means of identifying antibody detectable targets on cancer cells (cancer vaccines or antibody guided therapeutics).  In this approach, we isolate and affinity-column immobilize the IgG fraction from patient serum before and after immune therapy for melanoma, and expose the immobilized antibodies to bacteriophage expressing approximately 2x109 overlapping cDNA sequences of paired (same patient derived plasma and cancer cells) melanoma genomic RNA.  Phage, expressing melanoma cDNA express the proteins/peptides on their capsid are “recognized” by the immobilized antibodies are retained in the column, and subsequently eluted for DNA sequencing.  Comparison of the DNA profiles of the eluted phage using pre-immunotherapy and post-immunotherapy patient sera will reveal emergence of new antibodies (post-immunotherapy gain of antibodies) against proteins of potential interest for melanoma targeting.  In the current proposal, we hypothesize that reacting COVID serum from patients that have recovered from COVID infection and compare to non-infected self-serum (if available) and control healthy volunteer serum (available in our lab) may identify protein targets that have developed as a result of the COVID infection and could be useful in the development of a COVID vaccine as well as a serologic test for anti-COVID immunity. 

8. A Study to Evaluate Ultrasound-guided Erector Spinae Plane Blocks

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to to demonstrate the feasibility of performing ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane blocks in the Emergency Department (ED) and Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

9. Training of Physicians in Critical Care Ultrasonography (CCUS)

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to assess the improvement in physician’s knowledge and skill sets in ultrasonography after the implementation of simulation-based educational program.  

10. Study of the Incidence of Electrographic Status Epilepticus and Seizures of PICU Patients at National Children’s Hospital in Hanoi, Vietnam.

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of the study is:

    1. To determine the incidence of subclinical electrographic seizures and electrographic status epilepticus in children admitted to the PICU for head trauma, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and/or child abuse at National Children’s Hospital in Hanoi, Vietnam.

    2. To determine whether a correlation exists between length of stay, morbidity, and mortality with incidence of subclinical SE and seizures.
