  • COPD (chronic lung disease)

    Genetic Variation in IgG in Alpha 1 Antitrypsin Deficiency

    Testing how a genetic change in alpha-1 antitrypsin affects immune and lung responses to a pneumonia

    📍 University of Alabama at Birmingham · Birmingham, AL · Get directions →

    The goal of this study is to learn whether patients who have a genetic mutation in the genes that cause alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency also have genetic variation in nearby genes that can increase risk for reduced immune function and respiratory infections. To investigate this hypothesis, we will compare immune responses to the 20-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV20, Pfizer) between participants who have one abnormal copy of the SERPINA1 gene and either no COPD exacerbations, vs those with 2 or more COPD exacerbations in the past year.

    Self-Adjusted Nitrous Oxide: A Feasibility Study in the Setting of Vasectomy

    Testing whether self-controlled nitrous oxide during vasectomy lowers pain and anxiety

    📍 Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center · Boston, MA · Get directions →

    This study is being done to see if nitrous oxide during vasectomy decreases pain and anxiety, and also assess whether patients have better satisfaction when they control their own level of nitrous oxide during the procedure. If we find that patients experience less pain or anxiety with nitrous oxide, it could be suggested that self-adjusted nitrous oxide (SANO) may be a useful tool for improving experience of care during vasectomy.
