Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) & GERD
The purpose of this study is to measure and accurately identify the presence and severity of gastroesphageal reflux disease (GERD), commonly called acid reflux, in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) patients using the Supraglottic Index (SGI).
Biomarkers & Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis Progression
Are biomarkers in the blood of patients with hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) predictive? Researchers understand if biomarkers can help doctors understand how quickly the disease will progress
ILD & Early Rheumatoid Arthritis
Our researchers are trying to understand how interstitial lung disease (ILD) develops in people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and how it may impact their quality of life.
Link Between Rheumatoid Arthritis & Lung Disease
Our researchers are trying to understand the connection, as well as how to prevent and treat lung disease in RA patients.
Pulmonary Fibrosis & Genetic Factors
The purpose of this study is to investigate inherited genetic factors that play a role in the development of familial pulmonary fibrosis and to identify a group of genes that predispose individuals to develop pulmonary fibrosis.
