Are you interested in participating in research to help us better understand lung disease? Johns Hopkins is recruiting healthy volunteers (18-60 years old) without any known lung diseases for an imaging study that requires 5 visits over 1 month to our research center.
Researchers are looking to get high quality data using a new method of inhalation in a procedure called mucociliary clearance scan (MCC). Participants will have mucociliary clearance scans (MCC scan) – a test during which you inhale a very small amount of radioactive material while a camera images your lungs as you breathe. Participants will receive up to $570 for completing all study visits. Imaging visits may last up to 8 hours. For more information, please contact the CF Research Center at (410) 955-1167 or hopkinscf@jhmi.edu.
Principal Investigator: Peter Mogayzel Jr., MD, PhD
Protocol: Multisite Qualification Studies Using the Slow Inhalation, Large Particle (SILP) Mucociliary Clearance Measurement Method
IRB00317259

The bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD) Team Is Awarded the Johns Hopkins Clinical Collaboration and Teamwork

The bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) team was established two years ago in response to an increased number of preterm infants presenting with BPD at The Johns Hopkins Hospital and Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center. The multidisciplinary team, which includes pulmonologists, neonatologists, dietitians, respiratory therapists, speech-language pathologists, otolaryngologists and palliative care specialists, meets twice a month to review and coordinate respiratory care of the preterm infants who are at greatest risk or have been diagnosed with BPD in the neonatal intensive care unit.

The efforts of the BPD team have resulted in standardized respiratory care and new practices that optimize noninvasive respiratory support for our most vulnerable patients. Additionally, they provide education, simulation, bedside teaching and support to family members and the clinical team, leading to a better understanding of the disease.

As a result of these efforts, the rates of BPD have decreased from more than 50% in 2022 to less than 30% in 2024. “Their tireless efforts to improve the long-term health of our most fragile population are commendable, and the data speaks volumes about the success of our team’s vision,” noted a colleague.
