This study looks at how well seawater nasal sprays work in everyday life for people with nasal and sinus issues like colds, allergies, or after surgery. About 1065 people of all ages, including pregnant women, will use the sprays and report their symptoms. The goal is to see if t…

This study compares two types of non-invasive breathing support for infants under 2 years old with bronchiolitis in the pediatric ICU. One method uses standard ventilation, while the other uses a smarter mode called NAVA that synchronizes with the baby's own breathing. The goal i…

This study tests whether alerts in electronic health records help doctors follow best-practice guidelines for bronchiolitis, a common lung infection in young children. About 8,000 children under 2 years old will take part. Doctors will receive either no alert, a gentle reminder, …

This study looks at whether a common asthma drug, albuterol, helps babies with bronchiolitis (a lung infection). Researchers will give 400 children either albuterol or a placebo and check their breathing. They will also collect DNA samples to see if certain genes predict who gets…

This study builds a research database and blood sample bank for veterans and contractors who served in Iraq or Afghanistan and have lung problems. Researchers will collect symptom and exposure information and store blood for future analysis. The goal is to better understand deplo…

This study looks at how often young children get ear infections from RSV, a common virus. Researchers will track 1900 children under 2 years old to see how many have RSV-related ear infections, with or without bronchiolitis. The goal is to better understand the burden of RSV in t…

This study follows 200 infants hospitalized with lower respiratory tract infections (like bronchiolitis) to see if lung ultrasound and special breathing tests can help doctors predict how sick a child will get and who might develop asthma later. Researchers will track symptoms, h…

This study looks at two different approaches to help doctors and families avoid unnecessary follow-up visits after a child is hospitalized for bronchiolitis. About 2,700 children will take part to see which method works better at encouraging follow-up only when needed. The goal i…
